Advice on Hosting

[vlad230]

Hello guys!

I'm currently looking for shared hosting and I need some advice on which are the best.

I need them to have about 100 gb of space, 1 - 2 TB BW, databases, to allow addon domains and to be at least 2 years old.

The problem is that I don't know which of them are reliable.... I need the uptime to be great and the server load to be low. These 2 are major priorities.

I usually buy hosting for 1 year or more and pay upfront but I often either get scammed and after 6 or 7 months the host goes bankrupt and shuts down or the server load and uptime becomes so bad that I move out. I don't like to change hosts but I don't have any choice.

Thanks,
Vlad

You need a vps or dedicated server. A shared account can't handle what you have

Hi Vlad,

I think it would be in your best interest to take the plunge and purchase a dedicated server, or alternatively, invest in a virtual private server (VPS) that will be able to fulfill your needs specification-wise.

I'm assuming that you are currently located within a shared environment (or were at the time of your original post). As such, I'm sure that you are familiar with the various quirks and issues that can be related to a standard shared environment. You have to understand that while a shared provider may offer superior specifications with an account (i.e. increased disk space and monthly data transfer limit), this does not change the fact that your account will (more than likely) be located on a machine that is home to hundreds, possibly thousands, of other accounts, all varying in resource usage and intensity. There are some web hosting providers that restrict the number of accounts hosted within a single machine (i.e. 20 accounts per machine or less); these providers are very rare and while a semi-dedicated environment can prove to be beneficial, upgrading in the long run is often inevitable. Now, if you were to find a provider who would be willing to restrict the number of accounts per machine to three or less, this may be something to look into further.

Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are virtual "dedicated" containers that are hosted within a series of hardware servers. Each isolated environment has the ability to run its own operating system and utilize its own delegated set of resources. Full root access to your environment is [generally] granted and the ability to install scripts as desired is typically offered by default. Such an environment can still be considered as 'shared' due to the multiple containers hosted within a physical environment, but the sheer capability and superior resources offered generally provide a more expandable solution overall.

Building and purchasing a dedicated server would allow the ultimate in control and flexibility, however know that doing so is an investment.

Best of luck!
