I got an account on Cirtex and one on Naked Hosting (aka Certified) On Cirtex I have the high end shared account. For supposedly adult video hosting my site (on windy server) runs butt ass slow most of the time. I logged on their chat and complained when my FTP account timed out cause I was trying to load TubeAce (about 8 meg) at 10am EST and the reply I got from the tech was wait until off peak hours before loading any large files ... WTF is gonna happen when my site goes live and folks start downloading 25meg + video clips. Good thing I am just building my site. I will be moving at the end of the month.
The other account I got was one of the anniversry specials on Naked Hosting ... this account rocks where speed is concerned but a couple of php scripts won''t run. Smart Thumbs and RSTGP. Comus, TubeAce and Vshare all run fine. I have not really put a lot of effort into making either Smart Thumbs or RSTGP nor have I contacted the admins yet cause I am not quite sure which script I will use, if any.
I am still learning and putting my first site together but one thing I have already figured out ... I am going to need a dedicated server. I have in a short time read many stories of woe about people on shared hosting accounts. Even those on VPS with a limited nuber of clients which in fact turns out to be at best several hundred.
I have found some really great deals on dedicated hosting under $50. I will let you guys know how it works out. I'm not getting a managed server for that so I guess I am going to have to learn a little bit about unix. Oh well more job skills.
