[PHP] PHP Hosting - Coupon

2008-03-17 Thread Daniel Brown
As some of you are aware, my hosting company, PilotPig, has been
struggling a lot with phishers and fraud.  Stolen PayPal accounts used
to pay for hosting accounts on my servers.  As a result - and in
celebration of the only holiday that I actually give a damn about -
I'm doing a 50% off coupon for monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and
annual subscriptions on 10GB/75GB Developer accounts and 50GB/150GB
reseller accounts.

I'm finally fed up.  Since this time last year, it's cost me
literally thousands.  After today, I'm pulling the plug on public
sales and will only set up new accounts manually until I'm ready to
deal with the BS of these jackasses again.  I'm by no means cutting
out the hosting service - there's no worry about that.  I'm only
ceasing automated public sales.

Basically, the two reasons I'm doing this are (1) because it's
Saint Paddy's Day - Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Duit!  And (2) because I'd
like to get at least a single-digit positive number for reporting for
Q1 2008 for my accounting.  So far, my losses for 2008 look like I
stuck a mirror up to someone's paycheck.  I just had two homeless
gentlemen laugh and point at me and tell me my family is poor.

Anyway, it's 50% off, comes with SSH/unlimited
databases/blah/blah/blah.  Ask for references here on the list and I
don't think it'll be a problem to get some honest feedback from our
peers here.  Check it out (and don't mind the layout I'm a
programmer, not a designer).

http://pilotpig.net/

Thanks for passing by.  Any questions, you know what to do.

[PHP] php hosting-mediatemple/dreamhost

2007-05-24 Thread blackwater dev

Forgive me if this is a bit off topic but I currenly have several sites
hosted with dreamhost, it's cheap and well prone to be slow.  Does anyone
have experience with mediatemple?  I would just be running php/mysql sites.

Thanks!

I don't have experience with both, but I can recommend dapx.com, fast
and cheap. Buying the hosting itself is sometimes a little bit slow,
but it's worth.
It has a very nice PHP configuration, safe_mode off, open_basedir on, etc.

One of my customers uses mediatemple. I've had good experience with
their Dedicated Virtual Server solution. I recently migrated their old
MT server to the new setup that uses CentOS 4.4, PHP 4.3.9, and MySQL
4.1.20. It's nice because it's a completely isolated Virtual Server with
root access to configure things as you please. Since they use the free
CentOS it's easy to compile stuff in a VMWare clone and migrate the
binaries over. General admin goes through Plesk which is pretty much
idiot proof.

Cheers,
Rob.

I found Media Temple more annoying than helpful as webhosts.  Getting
SSH access was like pulling teeth.

Dreamhost mostly left me alone to do my job, except for the
stupid/funny newsletter.  There is probably down-time, but I hacked a
fail-safe roll-over to another server elsewhere, so I don't even
notice it being down.

YMMV

I would not consider either one a top notch operation, frankly...

There are a few million other hosts to choose from, fortunately.

Lovely cogent bandwidth too... you get what you pay for, which in this 
case is almost nothing.


ServerPronto/Infolink have also been listed for spam on several occasions.

Being a former customer, I don't recommend them at all.

 It works great for me, and you can host all the
domains you want. You will have to learn how to use Apache, though.

Check out http://mediatemple.com

They offer what they call alternate domains, whereby you can host 
other websites within your own, sharing disk space, bandwith, and stats.

https://www.mediatemple.net/services/webhosting/feature_highlights/multi-domain/

You point the alternate domain's IP to your own nameservers and ask 
Media Temple's tech support crew (whose service I really like, by the 
way) to activate it as an alternate domain.  Then the alternate 
domain has the external look  feel of an independent domain.  This 
is MUCH cleaner than the frame-driven approach some other hosts 
provide for sub-hosting.


Because of the shared assets we don't use alternate domains for our 
serious client accounts, whom we figure ought to have their own 
webstats and admin control panel, but I've found it perfect for pet 
projects, workspaces, and certain small client sites for whom we 
perform all admin functions.

Maybe look for reseller acccounts and become your own reseller for all
the sub-accounts.

Or find somebody who gives enough HD space for your biggest accounts
that you don't care about sharing.

 Failing that, Doster (the registrar I use) can let me point a domain

 locked my domains in at $20/year before they upped their prices
 (yeah... twenty per year) but they're kind of mom  pop and I'd like
 some place a little bigger and more professional even if it means
 paying more per month.

 I'm more interested in storage space than bandwidth right now, but
 that may change later (as the stuff being stored is accessed of
 course).

 I don't need many email addresses or databases.  Don't need a shell
 account.  Cron jobs/scheduled tasks (of PHP scripts) would be really
 nice.

 hah.. I'll stop now.  Think you get the idea.  The convenient

I use Pair Networks (www.pair.com) and they allow this easily. You  
control which directories your domains point to (or you can stack one  
domain on-top of another to save money if they aren't being used).  
Custom DNS is supported if you need it, disabled if not. You can run  
your own scripts via cron and they've got PHP 4 natively and PHP 5  
available as a CGI. I've got numerous very high traffic sites hosted  
with them, and have never had an issue in the 10+ years I've been a  
customer (that's a long time fullstop, let alone to be with a single  
hosting company).

I have some accounts with them, and they seem fine to me. All of my use is
restricted to personal use, however. Remember, you're only paying $10/month, so
you're going to be on a shared server, limited support, etc.

Some of my sites generate approximately a million PHP hits (HTTP requests for
*.php) a month, so they can handle moderate traffic as well.

Hope that helps.

speak to our remote databases.  Does anybody know of a hosting solution that
would allow me to have remote access to a MySQL database?  I done some
googling and found a quite a few hosting companies, but none of them that I

to compile your own software in a /home/youraccount/bin directory).

I hosted a site with them for a few months earlier this year before taking
the plunge and hosting on a dedicated Linux box at home, and found their
support staff to be knowledgeable and responsive.  Their basic account is
$12.95/month for up to a gig of traffic, and they have an extensive web

Don't know what you mean by a control panel, but http://he.com/ is an excellent host.
Very inexpensive, and you get full MySQL database as well as php and cgi-bin.

They have a lot of bandwidth, too.

Re: [PHP] php hosting provider that supports libswf module?

2001-07-20 Thread Rasmus Lerdorf

 Does anyone know of a reputable PHP web hosting company that also
 supports the libswf (i.e. Flash) module?

 And, specifically, does anyone know if Pair.com does/doesn't?  (yes, I'm
 going to ask them directly as well)

Any provider which runs on a sane platform and doesn't disable the dl()
function will do.  Simply build your own swf.so PHP extension by doing:

./configure --with-swf=shared
make

Then you will get modules/swf.so which you can then dl() at the top of
your script.  You don't have to rely on your ISP to compile in all the
features you need.

 No need to get upset :) just stating MHO (nothing personal).

 In your own words you say : "People have taken a chance with me"
 and that's really what they did. Cause you know what happens to
 backup plans that don't have backup plans that don't...

 I'm assuming that there may be an audience for this kind of hosting
 but personally I wouldn't host my site under such circumstances.

 Prices are so cheep today and you can get so much for so less with
 many ISP's that have a department of people running the show.

 As for the Service, well, if you chose a company and don't like the
service
 you can always go somewhere else. Most companies that I worked with
 gave amazing service.

 Today I work with PhenomiNET and the service is simply amazing.
 you can look at what they offer here :

 This is your one stop shop for hosting. WeberDev.com is hosted there
 and I can tell you that their service is amazing. They are fast, reliable
 and more than anything, very professional (specially in PHP / MySQL).

RE: [PHP] PHP hosting - the final frontier.

2001-02-04 Thread PHPBeginner.com

Well, I'll contribute to the discussion whether you like or not...

For a year I was running a website on Canaca.com (former Nortel.no) ...
They've been nice, I though ...

Then I once tried one weird thing:
?='PRE'.show_code('/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf').'/PRE'? from a
simple PHP page ...

hmm ...  Not only I broke to the hell their security, but I also found 342
matches under a simple search for /virtual ..

I then quickly understood that I wasn't the only *unhappy* customer on the
server ...  there were 341 MORE!!!

I stayed with them until my contract ended and then added my friend to my
business and rented a dedicated server on insidecrew.net for something like
$200 a month ...

Too much you'll say? But we have a root access now on an extremely cute
FreeBSD machine... We are now reselling some of our space to *these who we
know* and the price drops dramatically, we can add more projects AND WE ARE
THE ROOTS not the rats...

So my advice : if you run more then one project, preferably not alone, and
know others who is willing to do the same : add them in and get yourself a
real server!

Of course it only works for these who know the systems ... not for small
businesses... these need some help...

My point is simple: Yes it is better to be hosted by a smaller company, but,
only if they are responsible enough not to put too many others up there ...
and it all have to cost less then a big company, otherwise I myself will
become a company.

Can you do it?

Actually, there is nothing wrong with a one-manned hosting service. I agree
with Robert in this, there are a lot of big hosting companies that don't
really have a personal hold of their business to really care about their
clients. To them everything is automated and all they do is hire customer
service people who are only taught to, well, "serve customers" with answers
to questions they don't know in the first place. They just read from the
script and have basic step-by-step trouble shooting instructions in front of
them to solve a client's problems/requests. If you need an updated software
package, like PHP4, froman old PHP3 engine, you'de have to beg for it and
you might have to go through several layers of support just for that request
to go through. Let me remind you that the software is free of charge. If the
request is accepted, then more power to you. If it's not then you'll have to
deal with it until you decide to find another host.

I have one question for you Robert. XML has been in the market for a long
time (since 1998), and the recommendations are now set to a true standard.
Why do most hosting services not have support for XML based languages yet?
Thanks...

[PHP] PHP hosting - the final frontier.

2001-02-03 Thread Chris Mason

I see a lot of traffic regarding php hosting. From experience I know that
the general hosting companies provide a minimal PHP environment which is
often insufficient for PHP developers.
With this in mind, I'm considering offering specialized hosting for PHP
projects.

The server will be tuned to the needs of PHP projects, and will have the
latest PHP4 and mySQL versions, up to date XML libraries, IMAP and POP, and
will run php as a apache module for performance. The server will have a low
user count and I will offer migration alternatives as user's needs grow. The
machines will be hosted at a major data center with multiple large internet
feeds, and all the other essential requirements.

I plan to be available to users to assist in configuration problems and will
stay abreast of developments in PHP to make our projects run faster and
better.

I'd like to hear from people interested in participating or with
configuration suggestions. I'm not looking to start a large hosting company
but to be a specialized service provider on a small scale.

Let me know what you think, guys.

Re: [PHP] PHP hosting - the final frontier.

2001-02-03 Thread Ben Peter

Chris,

This all sounds good but for one thing: I firmly believe that one man
with a root password is not enogh to look after even one client. I have
hosted with 3 one-man-companies, and it always came to the point where I
couldn't reach someone for a week, or I waited for 3 months, only to be
granted connect privileges to the mysql database - no offense meant! I
think it's just too much for one man, you cannot be available 24/7, and
you will want holidays.

Still, a PHP-specialized hosting environment would be worth much. 

Cheers,
Ben

RE: [PHP] PHP hosting - the final frontier.

2001-02-03 Thread Robert Covell

I am going to have to disagree on this one.

I run a successful (and profitable) hosting company(http://www.rolet.com).
My employees total 1 (me, myself and I).  The number of clients hosted is
roughly 120.  I provide a wide variety of services on Linux, FreeBSD, NT,
and W2K.  Yes it is hard to believe that 1 person can be available 24x7, or
not take vacations, but this is what I do and LOVE every second of it.  I
value customer satisfaction and strive to provide that best Internet
services possible.  For me this is a career for life, not just a job.  So I
do believe that 1 person can be available 24x7 and not take vacations.
Don't get me wrong, some days it is tough.  I would like to have other
employees in the future, but don't mind the sacrifices taken to get there.

RE: [PHP] PHP hosting - the final frontier.

I shouldn't even reply to this...

Yes I would host with me.

Have you ever heard of a backup plan.  People that would step in if
something happens to me?  People that I trust to keep the company going if
it fails.

With all due respect, how do people host with a company that doesn't give a
rats ass about them or their business.  How many big companies redirect your
call, or brush you away when problems occur.  I been over backwards for my
clients.  Providing better service then many of the bigger companies out
there.  That is why people do and will continue to host with me.  Like I
said, I plan on hiring people in the near future.  Things take time to
evolve.

I am not saying that my company is for everyone.  If you don't like a one
man shop then don't go there.  People have taken a chance with me and have
not been disappointed like so many times before.

RE: [PHP] PHP hosting - the final frontier.

2001-02-03 Thread Navid Yar

Actually, there is nothing wrong with a one-manned hosting service. I agree
with Robert in this, there are a lot of big hosting companies that don't
really have a personal hold of their business to really care about their
clients. To them everything is automated and all they do is hire customer
service people who are only taught to, well, "serve customers" with answers
to questions they don't know in the first place. They just read from the
script and have basic step-by-step trouble shooting instructions in front of
them to solve a client's problems/requests. If you need an updated software
package, like PHP4, froman old PHP3 engine, you'de have to beg for it and
you might have to go through several layers of support just for that request
to go through. Let me remind you that the software is free of charge. If the
request is accepted, then more power to you. If it's not then you'll have to
deal with it until you decide to find another host.

I have one question for you Robert. XML has been in the market for a long
time (since 1998), and the recommendations are now set to a true standard.
Why do most hosting services not have support for XML based languages yet?
Thanks...

Navid Yar
