Crushdepth Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Got a new webserver problem, this time for work. We are currently hosting our organizations website in our office, using a 1MB connection donated by a government agency (they also give us an IP). The problem is that our provider - as kind as they are - are horribly unreliable. Their network regularly goes down for days at a time and since we don't actually pay anything they are (understandably) not in a hurry to fix it. Half our staff are outposted to different countries and when its down we have no website and no email - for example the last three days - so I am rather *unpopular* while its broken. I want to get away from our current provider (sick of begging them to fix it all the time) and co-locate our webserver at a commercial ISP. The main thing is it has *got* to be reliable - I'm only going to get one shot at this or I will likely be looking for a new job soon ! The other thing is that it has got to be *cheap*. We are a small dev org and will have to go out and raise the funding to pay for it somehow (you may see me showing a bit of leg on Phahonyohtin tonight). Cheap + reliable colocation (and if possible, responsive staff ie. no disinterested 'nongs'). Any suggestions ? Or should I just ditch the server altogether and rent disk space ? Bit reluctant to go that way as we rented space once before and had a very bad experience. The site is a couple of GB in size. Many thanks for suggestions.

jayrockwell Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Renting 2GB of reliable US webspace will only cost you 600 Baht a month, sounds cheap if your job is on the line, email me [email protected] with your requirements, we'll come up with a custom solution for you.

grrr Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Yeah certainly shop around and do a little research! I've been using pair Networks in the US for about 5 years now and would not use anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Quite a few people on Webhostingtalk.com disagree with your opinion of Pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJDinsay Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I use Yahoo for Small Biz package. About 11.95 and 19.95 for more space. With this package you should have all the resources of Yahoo at your fingertips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
