Thanks for the info! From the original el recomendator as well! :) So what vpslink-like provider do you recommend that have a good response time from Israel?

Re: Please recommend a web host in Israel
Thanks Eli, what other plans do you have? who is maintaining those servers? I'm actually looking for a host of my current site ( http://itay.bazoo.org ), which doesn't need many resources, plus a place i can experiment on with various ideas and projects. Maybe even put asterisk on it.

2009/9/1 Itay Donenhirsch i...@bazoo.org: hi folks, has anyone used vpslink.com? i got a recommendation for them but i was wondering about response times from israel. I use vpslink both for a private xen host ($8/month) and one of my workplace's external servers and their service is reliable, I access them from Australia, thought. How about European providers? Is Israel still connected to Europe through the US or has this changed? There was a thread here a while back about European hosts.

Re: Please recommend a web host in Israel
I have also a dreamhost account for testing purposes. It's good, you have really good package (for the price I satisfied), for small personal sites or sites that does not require good response time, it's recommended. But for bigger and pro sites I would not recommend it.

My web-sites is hosted on http://www.shlomifish.org/meta/hosting/ (eonspace.net). It's an operation of one or two people, which I can give the details in private emails. I have mostly static HTML there (generated using http://web-cpan.berlios.de/latemp/ and uploaded to the server using rsync) and a few Perl CGI scripts. It is a few servers hosted in Netvision, and was able to successfully sustain at least two Slashdot effects (one of them was thanks to Dotan). I'm happy with the hosting there. There were a few outages or other problems (some of them due to my fault), but it has the advantage of being very personal service. I can always reach my hostmaster using email, phone/mobile, etc. and he'll investigate and remedy the problem I'm having. And the price is cheap and affordable. I should note that the new server supports much more than I'm utilising. They are an up-to-date CentOS release with support for most modern stuff and web technologies, and I'm getting a fully functional ssh access. I once installed a Drupal instance there, but eventually I gave up on the idea of having the Drupal-based site I had in mind (of no fault of the hosting service).
