:stop Who Has REAL High Uptime Hosting?

Most important factor: uptime. 99.9% is shit, so it has to be higher. And not what they claim but what you have actually received. All the guarantees are worthless, they give you pittance your site is down for 4 hour , so they prorate your monthly bill for 4 hours, what a fucking joke. So the guarantees don't fucking count.

Also, not interested in Shared. Only VPS, dedicated or cloud. Also, must be FULLY MANAGED.

I want actual uptime experiences from actual fucking users. So if you're a host, don't post in this thread. ONLY CLIENTS!

I've been a client of SecuredServers for over half a year. Only had a 5 minute downtime once in that period. Best host I've been with, and I've hosted at a lot.

They're unmanaged, so if you're looking for managed hosting I'd check out other replies.

I'd say get a secured servers box and I have an admin available for 100/month that does everything, server software installs with all dependencies, testing, and normal web or mail scripts or whatever else you need. If that is worth it for your needs let me know and I'll have him contact you: [email protected]

Been with them for over a year and was never down. (VPS) I can guarantee that you'd be very happy with them.

Never had any problems with Certified Hosting and they email you beforehand about any maintenance. Although I don't monitor it 24/7 I'm never had any downtown AFAIK.

I've used almost any adult hosting company out there as well as many mainstream hosting companies. So far, the only ones I've ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS AT ALL are Amerinoc and Hostgator. And it's a shame because I was kinda dubious to use them because I have read a few opinions in contrary. Later I realized those opinions came mostly from other hosting companies affiliates or representatives.

Every single one of the "cool adult web hosting companies" I've used got me down for some reason or another. Granted that I had minor issues with most of them, but recurrent ones until I got fed up. With a couple companies I had HUGE ISSUES. One of those companies even stole me 2 hard disks (2TB and 1 TB) filled with content. That company representative still keeps posting here knowing fully well what they did.

Anyway, if you ask me for VPS or dedicated, I know I'd choose Amerinoc without hesitation

Looks like you edited your post to state "fully managed" after I posted my reply.

In that case I would check out Amerinoc. I have a shared account there, and have heard great things about their dedicated hosting, plus they're managed.

See sig for coupons

I have been with Phatservers/Amerinoc for 10 years and have had very little downtime. Best of all, their support is phenomenal whenever I do have a problem. See sig.

I should have mentioned that my 5 minutes of downtime was for planned maintenance that they notified me of ahead of time. Other than that my box has been up the whole time.

Secured really is the best host I've ever been with

Cyberwurx A second vote for them.

Not only do they have great uptime, they have great prices, great BW and multiple class C's without giving them an arm and a leg.

Then there is customer service. I have hosted with just about every service and I am confident these guys are at the top of anyone's list. I haven't had problems on their end, but they have been there for me every time I fucked something up on my end and quick!

Dedicated wise, I don't know what you are doing (running), but I have dozens of WP blogs and TGP's and Tubes on a dedicated. My old server load was 3.x to 10.x and it was always down and shit happening... Came to Cyberwurx and my server load for the same sites peaks at .4!

So... dedicated:

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33GHz (Single CPU) (Quad core)
2GB of RAM500GB (SATA) Hard Drive
**4000GB Bandwidth
Scalable Bandwidth Options
NO SETUP FEES
5 IP's on different class C's

Use code 4000BW when doing check out for 4TB!

I suggest trying securedservers.com.

I also suggest that you avoid anything related to someone that would say
that someone is "gay" when they are clearly married to a female with 2 kids and
just killed Osama Bin Landen.

Stupid shit comes in clumps.

And the reason it's a clump is because stupid shit clings together.

While we love Amerinoc and highly recommend them for many people's hosting requirements,
it sounds like you're looking for something special.

NONE of the hosts mentioned in this thread are in the business of High Availability (HA).
Amerinoc's VPS is probably the closest you are going to get, since it's a) running on an
HA cluster and b) from a top notch company, but the VPS itself is not set up for HA.

If you want greater than 99.99%, you're talking about a specific High Availability set up.
You may want to work with a qualified sysadmin who is NOT trying to sell you
something to advise you on what will really meet your needs, possibly setting up fail
over between two VPS hosted at two different data centers.

The HA stuff keeps the SERVER up, but a separate issue is the SITE - what if it's hacked,
you accidentally delete something important, etc. The SERVER could still be up while the
SITE is down. That's where you need a top notch, properly designed enterprise grade back
up and disaster recovery system in place. With the typical "gee, I guess we can copy the
files on to this old cassette tape drive and hopefully it'll all restore OK" approach, it will take
between hours and days to restore a hacked site, so you need something better than what
the web host throws in for free, or for an extra $5. You'll notice I said back up and
recovery
system. Most people forget that you actually have to be able to recover a
working system in a reasonable time, and it has to be tested to actually work right when
you need to recover.

In fact, depending on the complexity of the server, a top notch back up and recovery system
like Clonebox could serve your HA needs as well. It makes an extra bootable copy of your
server, actually four extra copies of your whole server. When your server or host does go down,
Clonebox can take over serving your site. For most sites, Clonebox can take over in a
matter of minutes. That's for you to decide if a 5 - 10 minute switchover is OK in case your
main server goes down. If not, you want a pair of servers set up for HA, then the back up
and disaster recovery is a separate system.

I should have said none of these hosts are SPECIFICALLY in the HA cluster business.

Some of them may be able to build an HA cluster if you specifically ask about it.
Some of them WILL sell you a "cluster" which isn't even really a cluster at all, but just
a bunch of servers will similar sites on them, not properly named, what we call a "cluster fuck".
Hosts in the adult business are generally in the business of providing acceptable quality
at the lowest possible price, so they use the cheapest way of doing things that "works",
including hiring the cheapest available sysadmins, and then marketing it to sound better
than the 100,000 other web hosts trying to get your business. Before you buy a "cluster"
or "high availability" solution from anyone, have the proposal reviewed by an independent
sysadmin with extensive experience first, so you know you are getting what you need,
not what the host knows how to cobble together or what they happen to have left over.

I hate to sound so negative about web hosts in general. There are some very good ones,
and there are a very few highly knowledgeable ones, but very few can become popular in
the price driven general hosting sector while paying $100 / hour or more for real engineers.
Most webmasters just aren't willing to pay for the expertise to do something like HA correctly.

Thanks for the suggestion. How did the specs of the old host dedi compare to the one at Cyberwurx? We gotta compare apples to apples when looking at load numbers.

Nothing against them, only hear good things about them and I did take a look at them but the whole "request a quote" thing really turns me off; plus there's no Cpanel. Even though I want fully managed, I also want Cpanel.

NONE of the hosts mentioned in this thread are in the business of High Availability (HA).
Amerinoc's VPS is probably the closest you are going to get, since it's a) running on an
HA cluster and b) from a top notch company, but the VPS itself is not set up for HA.

If you want greater than 99.99%, you're talking about a specific High Availability set up.
You may want to work with a qualified sysadmin who is NOT trying to sell you
something to advise you on what will really meet your needs, possibly setting up fail
over between two VPS hosted at two different data centers.

The HA stuff keeps the SERVER up, but a separate issue is the SITE - what if it's hacked,
you accidentally delete something important, etc. The SERVER could still be up while the
SITE is down. That's where you need a top notch, properly designed enterprise grade back
up and disaster recovery system in place. With the typical "gee, I guess we can copy the
files on to this old cassette tape drive and hopefully it'll all restore OK" approach, it will take
between hours and days to restore a hacked site, so you need something better than what
the web host throws in for free, or for an extra $5. You'll notice I said back up and
recovery
system. Most people forget that you actually have to be able to recover a
working system in a reasonable time, and it has to be tested to actually work right when
you need to recover.

In fact, depending on the complexity of the server, a top notch back up and recovery system
like Clonebox could serve your HA needs as well. It makes an extra bootable copy of your
server, actually four extra copies of your whole server. When your server or host does go down,
Clonebox can take over serving your site. For most sites, Clonebox can take over in a
matter of minutes. That's for you to decide if a 5 - 10 minute switchover is OK in case your
main server goes down. If not, you want a pair of servers set up for HA, then the back up
and disaster recovery is a separate system.
Quality post. Yea, I do want HA but I also don't want it to cost $3000/month. I know there are setups that if hardware on 1 server fails, then another one starts serving the site within 1-2 mins. That'd be cool. Any suggestions for that? My budget is $100-$1000/month.

Also, I'm mostly concerned about hardware failures. Network uptime are extremely strong almost everywhere because datacenters got that shit on lock. As far as software, I also understand that a good admin can get that shit onlock too. The hardware failures are the fucking pain in the ass. Hosts brag that "we guarantee 1 hour hardware replacements, isnt that awesome". No FUCK YOU, that's fucking horrible, that means my site will be down for up to 1 hour!

Keep in mind *MOST* of these "hosts" around here do not own the facility, do not own the hardware, and are either coloing 1-2 racks in someone else's facility or are reselling servers from someone else. Of course they can't meet those type of requirements.

Lots of fake it until you make it going on around here

If owning the $400,000,000 Tier IV site that we put 1500 servers in is a prerequisite, count me out. LOL

14:49:50 up 693 days, 17:31, 3 users, load average: 0.50, 0.50, 0.65
[root@localhost ~]#

That's some pretty good uptime.

you are ripe for a rooting, thats a very, very insecure server. It's generally good practice to install security updates (kernel) Assuming that is a linux box, ksplice may be able to help but I believe 3 years is beyond the reach of uptrack.

No problems, when I need a upgrade or install, its fast with no charge usually.
Decent price, personal level support.
They've even helped me with some of my other clients hosted at other locations.
