Getting Hosting

Posted by bendodge on Oct. 14, 2006, 11:19 a.m.

I don't know if this is blog worthy material, but I am very excited: I'm going to upgrade my web hosting to mucha power!

50 GB Storage Space

999 GB Bandwidth Per Month

2500 POP3 Accounts

2500 IMAP Accounts

20 Subdomains

20 Parked Domains

CGI Bin and Library

24/7 Network Monitoring

24/7 Email Support

POP3/IMAP Email Access with Secure

MySQL, PHP, Python, PostgreSQL

Ruby/Ruby On Rails

Frontpage 2000/2002/2003 Extensions

Quad-Core Linux Servers running Apache

Custom Cronjobs, SSH (Shell Access)

SSL Support

I have no idea what I will do with that much power! I could host 64Digits! I am still learning PHP though, so I'm sure I'll have more ideas after that.

Not quite that much, maybe 500MB. :P

I wish. About $100 a year, but only if I prepay

Damn, you get SSH. I hate you. The plan I was looking at is better as far as space and bandwidth, but it doesn't get SSH =(

Never mind, mine is cheaper, and I doubt you're going to use cron/ssh anyway.

Go with 1and1 Hosting

That does look nice, but <a href="http://www.bluehost.com/tell_me_more.html">BlueHost</a> is rated higher in host reviews. Hostgator is rated 4, bluehost is 1, at least in the reviews I found.

Looking at 1and1's Home package vs BlueHost

No SSI

10 FTP, vs 1000 with anonymous

25 vs 50 MySQl databases

2000 vs unlimited Email aliases

No Ruby or Ruby on Rails

No CGI

1000 vs 5000 email, and bluehost has secure POP3 IMAP

No PostgreSQL

I compared with 1and1's home package because the next one up is more expensive then BlueHost
