Namecheap offers this PremiumDNS thingy that's $5/year. On the one hand it's only  /2/year, but on the other hand I don't know if its just bullshit. Any input?https://www.namecheap.com/security/premiumdns.aspx

are you saying you're browsing the web without ipv4?  if lithium's infrastructure is dual stack just disable ipv6 on your computer temporarily

We require an IPv4 address for this process which he was unable to provide at the time. Disabling IPv6 on his end forced IPv4 and everything is working as expected.

Holy poo poo GoDaddy sucks poo poo. The boss setup our small website up with them. I can't get cpanel emails to receive at all. They are blaming everyone else and trying to upsell me to dedicated email hosting. We are low volume, cpanel has worked great on other hosting, I personally have a Lithium account and it works fine. Is Godaddy full of poo poo or do I need dedicated hosting?

Even when I would suggest I was willing to spend money or be upsold, they'd advise against it if it wasn't the solution that made the most sense. That being said their website builder is loving garbage. IMO you'd be way better off with your own setup for that reason alone! fake edit: I'm now remembering some of the technical issues that they used to run into...their site feels like it's been forced into web 2.0 by gussying up a web 1.0 website if that makes any sense, but in terms of pricing and service I suppose I have no complaints with them.

We can't receive any email from outside, and Godaddy has pretty much told me to contact them (google, hotmail, etc..) So I think I'm going to give that Google Apps a whirl, that looks really nice. Thanks! Aeka 2.0 fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Sep 23, 2016 |

Since the EIG take over, Bluehost has gotten progressively worse. The box we are on is sooo incredibly slow. At this point it's like being hosted behind a 56k modem... Bluehost has been less than helpful in trying to fix it. So looking for a new shared host that isn't EIG owned. Our site is a Wordpress driven business portfolio website. Sees anywhere between 200 and 400 hits a day. Need nothing special beyond what is required for Wordpress to work and FTP. Looking at the past few months we have anywhere from 15 to 35GB of bandwidth use in a given month and about 5GB in storage used. Recommendations?

Check the OP, there is Lithium and Apis, you can't go wrong with either. Lithium does free migrations from Bluehost., I'm sure Apis will help with your migration from Bluehost as well.

Two random questions. 1) How come Plesk subscription costs are different depending on if you're using it on a VPS or dedicated server? If I have a beast of a VPS couldn't I feasibly host more sites than on a measly dedicated server? 2) Any thoughts on using http://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/ to help pick my next provider? Are there any other similar sites? I need to switch and I really wanna get it right before I migrate a bunch of sites. Currently my default plan is to go back to Digital Ocean just because it's kinda reassuring to use a big name. But I'm sure there must be a better deal out there somewhere. (would go for a goon host but I need a UK location)

Your VPS performance is contingent upon a few factors:
If you end up on a fairly quiet server, then you'll outperform another competitor that boasts better hardware but correspondingly crams more accounts onto a server. VPS really is no panacea for performance. Planning is. nem fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Sep 28, 2016 |

Right now I pay for a dedicated server from http://www.serverspace.co.uk/ but I think I'm overpaying given the resources I actually use. And the performance doesn't seem that great. When I run bench.sh (which to be fair only tests network speed to various countries and disk I/O speed) then I actually get way better results on a 1gb DO VPS! Maybe I need to look into small-ish dedicated servers with SSD storage...

fuf posted:Typo or down? quote:Maybe I need to look into small-ish dedicated servers with SSD storage... Having full control over your hardware offers the best guarantee of reliability, but even then hardware craps out and you're at the mercy of the data center replacing whatever failed. If you are on a VPS, odds are that at least someone else will notice a performance regression prompting a technician to investigate whereas if you have your own dedi it's up to you to notice and alert them of the issue. My recommendation is to split up your clients and distribute them over a variety of smaller VPSes. Don't put all of your clients on 1 VPS. You won't react to traffic swells nearly as well, but you also won't be impinged upon by traffic swells from your neighbors. Way back when I had a VPS with RapidVPS to handle secondary nameserver responsibility. Worked well most of the time, except for intermittent windows where the resolver took upwards to 5+ seconds to respond resulting in a timeout. It wasn't that the VPS was underspec'd but rather the host hardware was. You can also pop open iostat and check %steal. %steal is the percentage spent waiting for a CPU slice to be processed by the hypervisor. Ideally you want this as low as possible. If you have a high steal % on an idle server, your host machine is horribly oversubscribed.

nem posted:Down it appears... Yeah splitting them up across multiple VPSes makes a lot of sense... it just means more work for me haha. Also paying for multiple Plesk licenses... (if I commit to Plesk - I've been trying it out the last couple of weeks and like it a lot). The plan was to try and centralise everything under a single Plesk install so I can spend less time setting up and maintaining sites for clients who hardly pay me anything for hosting anyway. Thanks for that %steal tip, that's super useful to know.

Time to learn Ansible or Salt then automate flow across multiple machines. I'm bringing Apis' control panel, apnscp, to market near the end of Q1 2017 so be on the lookout for that as well. You'll have elements of CloudLinux's isolation/compartmentalization technology as well as a sweet panel + built-in security.

Anybody here got any experience with hosting to mainland China? We're currently exploring our options and since hosting with serivces like Aliyun or HiChina seems unrealistic due to the necessity of having a local legal entity with ICP and IP records we're looking at services from Japan, Singapore and of course Hong Kong in combination with Content Delivery Networks. Any recommendations or first-hand-experiences?

Hong Kong and Singapore have Amazon data centres now, performance is OK and you avoid the bureaucracy. Beware most smaller data centres are overpriced and inferior to US hosting, this is predominantly due to pressure from self-hosting and cheap metro-Ethernet connections.

i have a lot of experience hosting (for personal side projects, single person, colo + vm + transit) throughout the entirety of southeast asia, china, hk, etc my suggestion is get hosed for the most part CDNs will not have chinese access unless you also provide ICP licence/miibeian poo poo to chinese-owned CDNs almost all the china telecom / china unicom fka netcom peering is overloaded to death and nearly useless at peak hours GFW will block you anyway if you have questionable content even by accident (or user-generated content) in HK/JP direct china route is EXPENSIVE from hk, costs separate. CN2 is nice. depending on provider / budget: your traffic from HK can be routed through los angeles and back into china. or sf/sj. or seattle. same with singapore, japan. PS: aliyun cloud is a very interesting beast, they have 6-7 binaries running 24x7 on your VM as root with suid bit set that randomly spews some UDP traffic. killing them results in your vm shutting down and/or losing connectivity. they also appear to periodically poll netstat and other things and send that over UDP. the default ubuntu image they provision has someone else's leftover log files in /var/log the last time I used it. lmao if this is for legitimate, major business use and you can grease palms/have guanxi/bribe/have ICP in place/have a local partner, then azure or aws or whatever will be your best bet for anything vaguely resembling english speaking if you don't want to deal with americans or ICP: find some legitimate HK provider (not sunnyvision), pay out the rear end for CT+CN2+CU direct, and while you're taking it without lube you can bribe a few people for IPv4 at $60/month/IP ICP: in theory, you can apply for it as a foreign company. in practice, don't waste your time.
