Looking for professional web hosting (it's not spam :) )

Post by kazymjir »

Hello!

I am looking for professional web hosting, that including:
- PHP in version 5.1 or newest (with own php.ini file)
- MySQL, no matter what version (with no limit of amount of databases)
- No transfer limit
- Big user space capacity (or without limit)
- FTP without user amout limits

I am working as web freelancer. My customers are often not from IT world (like music bands, or car services) and they not know how to set up their websites in web.
I always helping them with buying and setting hosting, but it's a bit tiring.
Customers ofter calls me because they have problems.
So, i've got idea to buy my own hosting and set their websites on my hosting. They can pay less than normal hosting, and they have always configured website without any additional fees and problems.
Customers are happy, I am happy and have additional incomes for beer and acid :D

I found on net some hostings like this : http://www.mochahost.com/webhosting.php , but they don't have positive opinion on forums.

Can you recommend me any good hosting with good opinion?

Any help will be great.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure whether i want to help you gain money for that use, but anyway... why not set up your own server at home?

maybe because setting up a web server at home can open you're PC to attacks, I have one but only using it when needed on localhost (blocked access to internet via firewall)

the problem with setting up a webserver at home is more the problem of bandwith. most ISPs just provide big downstream, not big upstream, which is more important for hosting.

i probably cannot recommend anything, because all hosting i use is from companies from my country, won't help you. maybe look for hosting companies in your country, that will ensure your local clients get the advantage of local hosting (speed advantage), and you might have the option of phone support in your language which is helpful sometimes.

Thanks for responses!

I can't set server at home because of problem which Loki said: bandwith. I have only 2Mb upstream :(

Hosting servers not must be located in my country (Poland). I prefer something in Europe, only must fill my requirement.

Maybe something from Sweden, they have very fast and cheap internet. I don't know about the hosting providers.

Found a possible useful site: http://www.hostsearch.com/hostdirectory ... osting.asp

A 75-year-old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been given a scorching 40 Gbps internet connection — the fastest residential connection anywhere in the world. Sigbritt Löthberg is the mother of Swedish internet guru Peter Löthberg, who is using his mother to prove that fiber networks can deliver a cost-effective, ultra-fast connection. Sigbritt, who has never owned a computer before, can now watch 1,500 HDTV channels simultaneously or download a whole high definition DVD in two seconds. Apparently ‘the hardest part of the whole project was installing Windows on Sigbritt’s PC.
:o TO SWEDEN IT IS!

i have a reseller package(going on 10yrs) on HostRoute located in the UK, im in new Orleans, i only pay $90us a year and get 5 client accounts i can host on a shared ip, 500mg space 20gig bandwidth. probably too small for you, but they do have larger plans
what your looking for is probably around $200,
there is also a control panel for billing your clients ,mysql,php,cgi,decent webstats, no phone support, but a very responsive ticket system
http://www.wolfdeergardens.com HOSTROUTE SITE

for larger clients, i usually prefer them to get there own hosting plan.
for that i have been recommending HostGator(5yrs), there are many mixed reviews from here, but my experience has been very good with them,
most of the bad stories i have seen in blogs about them appear to have come from client who expect a 'magic box', and should have at least hired a consultant
$8.99/month no limit on bandwidth you get every thing but java servlets, and ssl, the also have a pretty good referral reward system,and a 24/7 phone and chat support

Thanks Digijohnny!

I found now nice hosting. I searched whole Internet for hostings, but didn't noticed that company where I bought some domains also offers hosting.
I got 3 months free trial, will check how it work. Currently, it's working great.

in addition: FastCGI PHP5 with own php.ini, some preinstalled CGI scripts, Perl and Ruby (with Ruby on Rails), CRON access.

They have also very nice custom cPanel: filemanager, PHP PEAR installator, auto-installator of scripts like drupal etc, and lot more.

Yeah I know about DMT, Digijohnny :twisted:
I have in plans to compile Ayahuasca in this year, before vacations :twisted:
I planned it before in Dec 2010, but unfortunately, I've got in October very bad badtrip on very bad mix :(
I made a little 4day trip on dextromethorphan, planned to get Sigma plateau ( http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dxm/faq ... ml#toc.5.9 ). Unfortunately, it didn't worked :(
So last day I mixed my last portion of DXM (about 900mg) with 1g of benzydamine, which created very popular mix called in Poland BXM.
Benzydamine itself creating very damn realistic hallucinations, that often is hard to distinguish it's real or not (especially if hallucination is further than 3-4 meters). Mixed with DXM it creating something really weird, hard to describe using works.
So, my trip on BXM was great.
Next day I was regenerating after 4 days of tripping, my mind was tired so much. And then my friend come. I forgot that we had appointment to leave city to one friend, that is very interested in ethnobotanics.
We visited him, and what I found... LSA seeds, Ipomea Violacea :D (it's something kinda "natural LSD", check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysergic_acid_amide).
Average dose is 3-4g. I taked 10g :twisted:
Unfortunately I forgot that I tripped last 4 days and had in my body rests of DXM and benzydamine.
We walked to nice building 100 meters away from his house, in forest.
It was great. 4 meter x 4 meter room, only red fluorescent lamp, great climate.
I was here with 2 friends about 30 mins, but they want to go. I didn't want to go, so i said them I will stay here.
They said that they are worrying about me that i taked so big dose and was after 4 days of tripping, so they said "we close you here and we come in next 30 mins".
It's was great, I am alone in this room. Lot of beautiful thoughts, just beautiful.
It was great, but in one moment I noticed on my phone that I am here for 2 hours.
And my badtrip started.
Lots of lots of bad thoughts, that they forgot me, that I'll stay here for next day morning. They closed door.
I am experienced psychedelics user, so I was able to minimize this badtrip a bit, but it was still a nightmare.
I tried to sleep, but i wasn't able.
I was also not able to call anyone of them, due to I forgot charge my phone account.
After about next 2 hours they come. That was most beautiful moment in my life :D
Try to imagine you are locked in small room with red fluorescent lamp for 4 hours. Alone. On LSA, after 4 days of tripping. Real nightmare.
After that was good, I back to friend home and spent night on painting ( I like this auto-coloring on acid, hehe).
After this I didn't taked anything until December, I had to take a rest of all this stuff.
So, my plans of Ayahuasca failed :(
