Anybody here happen to have a coupon for Linode or Slicehost? My current host is getting kinda choppy lately.

I'm thinking about getting the 768MB plan on Linode. I usually have a 1024MB plan but I haven't been using more than 200MB lately. Does the extra RAM really help a lot? Also I can't seem to find how much IPs and extra space/bandwidth cost on Linode...

stizu posted:I have a question about domains, when I searched for a domain, the most desirable version was taken of course, but instead of just saying that it was unavailable, it said that it was 'backordered'? Does that mean that I can stake a claim on the domain when it comes up for renewal? I am thinking of taking advantage of that if that is true, the domain that I want is just a redirect at the moment. Results are cached on most whois databases so it can take 4 to 48 hours before everything shows up properly. As for backordering, you might be waiting forever if the person just renews the domain again. Backordering depends on the idea that the current owner will forget to renew.

Kinda surprised at how calm some of you are for having more than a few minutes of downtime  . Aren't people complaining?

Shaocaholica posted:Bah, I just migrated my hosting from Dreamhost to Lithium and my google apps hosted mail is broken which is what I expected. However, I'm having a bitch of a time figuring out how to get google to recognize my new hosting without nuking the whole account and starting over which would also blow away all my previous mail. Any thoughts? Define broken, is it just not receiving mail yet? It can take up to 48 hours for DNS to resolve after moving to a new host.

revmoo posted:Namecheap has been really great to me. The free ssl cert is great and the free DNS is even better. I switched from paying for my DNS to the free Namecheap service and haven't had any problems since. Also they have decent chat support which I prefer when working on web stuff because you can't paste over the phone. FYI: If you want to renew the SSL cert, you can't use another free SSL cert lol

Baby Proof posted:Is there any reason to buy domain privacy on a totally generic uncontroversial domain? I had signed up for it on dynadot because it was cheap, but I can't think of any reason to renew... When I didn't I usually managed to get junk mail in both e-mail and letter form.

jackpot posted:I know there's probably better threads for this, but this one seems appropriate. I don't need hosting, but I have a question about webhosting: If you're lucky those e-mails would probably be bouncing, but since it's been a month, they've probably been purged by now. Highly doubtful those e-mails are going to be recovered.

dvgrhl posted:Man, web hosting is something I would never pay annually, or even bi-annually for. It's a totally unregulated industry in terms of selling one thing and delivering another. Even for hosts I really trust (Linode, Wiredtree, etc...) I would never pay annually. The small cost savings aren't worth the huge risk of getting screwed over. Go spend a few minutes over at webhostingtalk.com and you'll begin to see what I mean. I agree completely with this, before I switched to Linode I'd have to switch to a different host every few months or year (at best). I've been running a website since 2004 and I've learned to never prepay for hosting and always have backups of your databases.

VerySolidSnake posted:Inmotion Hosting was hacked pretty bad today. All my sites have a huge "YOU HAVE BEEN HACKED" message on them, even sites that are still in development without a registered domain name. The hack happened at 4am and it is still not fixed. They shutdown their call center and live chat support, and now I'm in the dark. Do you have any open source software installed like phpBB or COppermine photo gallery? This sounds eerily familiar.

VerySolidSnake posted:This is way worse than that. This not only effected all Joomla and Wordpress sites, but static websites as well. I had a static site with index.html that it deleted, then added index.php. Hm. I had this happen once and the entry point was an old installation of Coppermine, I moved it to another account just in case. Are all your domains hosted under one cpanel username? If not, something more sinister might have happened to the server.

Oh My Science posted:If you don't mind me asking, how do you manage client sites? Do you use Cpanel (or something like it)? Or is there something better I should look into if I go with Linode? To be honest I was already leaning towards them, but have little experience setting up my own hosting environment. I use DirectAdmin mainly, I've had a lifetime license for a couple of years now so I just install it when I'm on a new VPS. You'll still need to know your way around Linux though. There are other control panels available as well but if you want to try doing it yourself, Linode's IRC channel is great. They also have a good wiki and knowledgebase here: http://www.linode.com/community/. edit: You might want to read up on Webmin/Virtualmin, it seems like a nice free way to manage your client sites.

Linode has a location in Texas. I might be switching their soon myself since Linode's Fremont DC is down again. HE sure loves to get DOS'd/have power failures.

Linode is pretty great but maybe stay away from the Fremont DC until they find a new provider. We had 2-3 outages last year because of how bad the DC was at keeping the power up. Aside from that, go with Linode, you'll get the best bang for your buck with them!

Delta-Wye posted:It sounded like the guy lost control of his email and that is how they got in, simply utilizing the standard password reset methods. I'm surprised they weren't using two-tiered authentication for e-mail... Especially since that e-mail address was basically the key to running their business. At 500k/month, how could they not afford to colo with a datacentre directly? I guess it wouldn't have helped too much since they lost control of their e-mail, but it's still very surprising. I'm going to laugh if it's because Hostgator was giving them free hosting.

mmm11105 posted:What are some good reasonably priced hosting options that can deal with traffic spikes? I'm working with a client who's smallish business is going to be featured on a fairly major tv show (can't say any more). He told me that he was told to expect a massive traffic spike when it airs. However, he's not large enough to be able to afford like $100/month hosting, just something that can deal with the spike. You could always use cloudflare (http://www.cloudflare.com/) if it's a temporary spike.

I'm hosting a .edu on WordPress with ~10 subdomain sites, and another 3-4 WordPress installs for a couple legacy sites that haven't been assimilated by the big WP install yet. Don't have any personal experience with them but the best bet is to search for "vps.net" on WebHostingTalk. Best of luck!

hackedaccount posted:I'll look into these two and WordPress.com, thanks - any other suggestions are welcome. If you buy a domain through a host, they'll have complete control over it and can charge you whatever they want. Buying it from a registrar yourself means you can shop around for a cheaper renewal price and have full control of the domain. Basically, don't buy a domain from your host.
