DarkLotus posted:I always feel out of place posting as a web host in one of these threads, but Lithium Hosting now has ASP / .Net hosting available. It's a new offering and isn't advertised on the website or SA-Mart thread at all. Can you share where you got unlimited disk and bandwidth? We might move our 7 servers to your $69.99 account.

DNova posted:HostDime has an anti-IRC policy, which is pretty ridiculous. But you allow game servers, which makes so much sense, right? IRC is more prone to abuse and requires semi-open shell access. Plus monitoring/upkeep of an IRC server is more complicated. Completely different ball game.

DNova posted:These are virtual private servers and dedicated servers which by default have wide open shells and root access. What is so hard about maintaining an IRCD? Not that maintenance of services has ANYTHING to do with the host. It's completely up to the customer. Not the host's problem. I'm not sure why you are arguing with somebody who runs a shell hosting company for over 7 years. Virtual private servers and dedicated servers do not share users with open shell access on the same machine. Again completely different ball game. I never said it's hard to maintain IRCD. I said that it's hard to maintain IRC server, as in a server that offers IRC friendly shell accounts. I'm sure from user perspective everything looks very easy, you add users to a server and go lay on the beach; but that's not the case in the real world application.

DNova posted:I'm not really sure what you're talking about... I think we're talking about different things. IRCD = IRC Server = Server to which users connect in order to chat in IRC channels. I think we were initially talking about a different things; 'shady' users will mostly use VPS to host IRCd servers for sole purpose of connecting and controlling infected computers on the network. While VPS services do cost more, for a serious 'shady' user it's a non-issue since they are probably doing this professionally. Most of quality shell hosting companies (as far as I know) actively track and detect such abuse on shared shell servers which forces such users to look elsewhere. Furthermore; offering IRC access on 'high end' servers attracts another headache called 'fraud'; the same users that need IRC will commit fraud and cost your company tons of overhead and financial burden. Not to miss another factor that comes into play: when you are offering IRC access you will have to separate network segments for web and IRC, plus have tons of incoming bandwidth along with proper mitigation hardware in place. That costs a lot of money. While it's true you can just throw both services together; once somebody on IRC segment get's attacked you will be loosing web customers left and right (which is not that great  )

nbv4 posted:I remember hearing about this one hosting company that offers VPS's to users which are really cheap, but are completely unsupported. I think I remember hearing about how they get their hardware from some other larger hosting company as handy downs when the larger company upgrades. I can't remember the name of this company, can anoyone help me out? http://www.prgmr.com keep in mind you get what you pay for as performance wise they do not stack up to Linode/etc.

Hey guys, we added a new coupon code 'goons' which will give you 50% off on any product we offer (except service extras) when selecting a monthly billing cycle. Pretty much allows you to purchase a shell hosting or a web hosting package for under a buck. Enjoy and let me know if you run into any problems. http://www.amdwebhost.com

Bob Morales posted:How the hell do you set it up so the users can't gently caress everything up? Due to security reasons I can't give you any specific details but the number one prevention is to have a very proactive monitoring and customer screening process in place. Several years back abuse/fraud was out of control, but as of 2009 it went down dramatically. Either we did a pretty good job rejecting/kicking users off and word got around or it actually dropped world wide. I will never know. And yes, trial and error was a big factor when we started several years ago. In regards to a free shell hosting 'companies', those (from what I observed) never last and receive tons of abuse. Since you are not paying anything for the account it's a safe bet that there will be no expansion of any sort to handle more accounts once things start to slow down.

Mortanis posted:Are there any serious options I should look into? My boss is pretty adamant we move away from having our own hardware, due to a number of factors, but nothing really seems to fit the bill for us cleanly. Any suggestions would be appreciated. If current setup works, why fix it? Since you already have your own hardware in place I'm certain that leasing new hardware and switching to a non co-located solution will cost you more headache.

Braggot posted:What shared hosting company would be best to host a site with 30+ videos/screencasts? These aren't streamed from YouTube they would be hosted on the web server, probably 40mb per video. Any company that does not oversell their bandwidth.

Fayk posted:Went to sign up today (I think it's in the queue) - is that coupon dead now? I didn't get any confirmation (even to reject it) but the total rang up as normal. I went ahead and activated you, sorry the weekends are a bit slow when it comes to processing orders. The coupon only works on monthly basis, but I will go ahead and refund the difference.
