DownTownHost Web Hosting Service - Short Review

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Just thought that I’d post a review of DownTownHost since I have been with them for more than a month now (almost two months actually). One of my sites hosted by DownTownHost: http://www.tw3o.com/

Well, first of all, I have to say that the support is AMAZING. I had to transfer my sites from another host and the guys over at DTH did everything for me in an instant. Once in a while I had problems with my sites, and they solved the problems quickly because they are always available through live support. Well, actually, more than just the live support on their site. I even have Jorge as a contact on my MSN!

DediWebSpace Suspended My Account! No Warning, No Explaination!

Friday, March 14th, 2008

I woke up on Sunday Morning (March 9) to find my DediWebSpace account suspended and a notice to contact support or billing. I’ve sent three emails and contacted the host provider on Skype and MSN with no reply. Before this the service was fast and reliable. Has anyone had an issue like this with DediWebSpace?


Lostinspacehosting Web Hosting Service - Several Years Review

Friday, March 14th, 2008

It’s now time after several years of self-growing up in php-webdevelopment and eTeaching experience, that I just set this Testimonial to my ISP that took me over from Italy and patiently helped me during quite a few years already, to consolidate my eTeaching platform in internet.
Last year the Lostinspacehosting server software was also smoothly upgraded and runs now happily Apache - mod_suphp

They helped consistently to solve my security issues by switching me into a special reseller Package DEAL, after a couple years of serving me with a personal Package, I proved their ISP patience and got a lot of help that succeded to isolate my FTP users by making a lot of special & non standard open_basedir settings.

Thanks to Josh Kennedy who has been for me more a mentor rather than a valid contact helpdesk person.

Hostmonster and Hostgator Web Hosting Download speed from Germany

Friday, March 14th, 2008

I’m searching for a cheap webhoster in US, but since I’m located in germany the DL-speed is important for me. Unfortunately neither the support from hostmonster.com nor from hostgator.com could offer me a link to a file of about 100MB to test the speed.

Is anyone here hosting a file of about that size with hostgator (shared hosting) or hostmonster and could send me a link to this file for measuring the DL speed?

HostQuack web hosting provider - Canada or NOT?

Friday, March 14th, 2008

I was looking for a Canadian reseller and was checking out HostQuack today. I did a quick whois search on them and it said that their server IP was in Canada. So I figured I might as well start a chat with a Sales Rep.

So… is their server located in Canada or no??? I managed to pull up another website that’s hosted by them and it says it’s server is in Quebec also: irootnetwork.org
