Possibly looking for new Windows host - Any recommendations?

Report · Jun 25, 2007

Starting to have problems with my current host, does anyone have any
recommendations for another host in the US? Need Windows server and SSL
for multiple domains.

Report · Jun 25, 2007

The company I work for has 13 dedicated servers with these guys and they are
awesome:

www.hostmysite.com

I also use them for my side business which requires normal hosted accounts
and not a dedicated server.

One word of advice, sometimes it's worth paying a little more for the
service/tech support you get. You will always be able to find someone
cheaper, but will you get support at 2AM on a Sunday/Holiday?

Which is usually when you need it!

I'll second the nod for crystaltech...I've had several sites there for about
2 years, the customer support is super and they have a wide assortment of
hosting plans for all budgets........

Crystaltech was recently hacked - just so you'll know. A number of people
on their servers had their pages littered with fraudulent links to bomb the
spiders.

Thanks for the heads-up Murray, I've not had any problems using them...BTW,
what OS were they hosted on?...PHP, ASP, .NET?.......

Uh... None of those are OSes. They're server technologies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system

Operating system would be one of:
- Unix family (including various Linuxes, BSDs, Unixes)
- Similar-to-Unix OSes
- Windows

ASP and ASP.Net run strictly on Windows servers running IIS, although you
can achieve a fair level of compatibility by running Sun Java System
Active Server Pages 4.0 (formerly Chilisoft) on a *nix box.

PHP runs on pretty much any platform, and most servers.

The hacked servers were running IIS on Windows.

Any others?

Report · Jun 26, 2007

I have about 10 domains that I manage. Most of them get forwarded into
the main domain. I'm wondering if a Dedicated server would allow me to
just have all those domains on that server? In other words, do you know
if they typically charge per domain or per server/domain.

What I'd really like, if it was actually saving money, to host my 10
sites on a dedicated server and even though the price of the dedicated
server is more, I could put up as many sites as I want on that server
without having to pay for each individual domain.

Do any of you know how it's done?

Thanks

Sorry Joe I guess I didn't phrase it well......

I was trying to ask what type of server technology they were using, my bad
for the phrasing...I know I had a site hack a few years ago using PHP and
running PHP-Nuke...It's tough to stay current on all the patches that are
created to stop hacker issues with portals...Also crystaltech offers
DotNetNuke site installs from the console, I haven't used it but it's
there...All I was trying to see was if perhaps a portal install was part of
the hack, which may or may not be the hosts problem...Sorry I wasn't clearer
with my reply, I'll try and watch that in the future, but I am aware of the
differences............

Thanks,

From what I could tell, it was a straight hack. There was nothing else
installed on the site, on a CT shared hosting plan - IIS/Win.

have several sites here and support is very good(though not quite 24/7)

Thanks Joe for the update...I have seen in their forums that there looks
like a few sites were hacked in April and May...As I said, I've not had a
problem, don't know about next week or beyond, but since I've been there
it's been all good...Reading the forums sounds as if, like most forums,
there's a lot of finger pointing going on...As I stated in my first post on
this, I've have a good experience with them since I've been on board, but as
always, YMMV..........
