Just trying to get an idea of what the user base of this forum is working with.

I personally am on a Dual Xeon 3.4GHz HT/2GB DDR2 RAM/2x73GB SCSI HDs server with WebNX.

How about you?
 


We have three (I think) dedicated boxes and a bunch of game servers. I have the specs somewhere.

It always seems like it's time to upgrade, though... :(

HostGator has worked out well for me. It's managed enough so that patches and upgrades are done for me - but not too much - so I can still play and configure the server the way I want it as I learn new things.
 
I had a dedicated server at 1&1 for a while but I sold the site that needed it so I just ended that though it was ok while I had it.

Right now I just have a starter reseller account at a2hosting since none of my sites are really using the resources to get anything more. Though I'm getting the site above back soon so I'm currently in the market for another dedicated server.

In my office I have 1 IBM eSeries server, 1 sun server and 1 cobalt Raq4i that I use for development and testing though not so much any more.
 
I'm looking into some managed VPS solutions. Hostforweb.com is a company that keeps showing up along with a few others. Does anyone have good recommendations for managed vps, as I am a tard when it comes to anything related to servers and the like.
 
I am a mini site developer for niche markets. Therefore, I use 3 reseller hosts, 1 VPS, and another reseller host on the way (hopefully).

This is all part of my strategy of having different IP addresses in different datacenters to interlink without penalties from search engines.

I collectively pay more for hosting than going with a dedicated box, but for me, when I find something that works, I don't change.
 
kind of a newbie question, but what's the benefit of a reseller account over regular shared hosting if you're not reselling?
 
Reseller accounts with WHM allow individual cpanel accounts for each domain. They also allow multiple (usually unlimited) domains.

There's also multiple domain shared hosting but it uses ADDON domains via one single cpanel account.

Since I like my domains to be under their own cpanel account for easier stats viewing and marketing reasons, I only use reseller accounts.

VPS is also a reseller. You get WHM and cpanel (when they have that license) but it gives you a dedicated environment with shell access and all.
 
I just grabbed a multisite account over at site5. I dont know much about hosting plans, but it seemed like a decent deal for the $$
 
All 4 of my existing accounts are cut deals. Usually half price, sometimes free. Incentives.
 
dreamhost shared. multiple accounts on different boxes/c classes for my blogs. everything else runs off my amd 1800+, 4gig ddr, WD raptor scsi raid0 slackware server here on my home 10mbit. does more in an hour than your p4 windows box can handle over the course of a year. can you say pwn?
 
Currently using iHosty.Com, did some work for the owner so he cut me a decent deal on a reseller package...

Looking to switch though, the downtime is killing me, it constantly seems to be going offline for a few minutes at a time, and right now its been down for about an hour...

Anyone reccomend me a good reseller plan? currently im paying 8.99/Month for...Not sure, I cant get into my WHM since my hosting is down...

Its up at this 1 minute in time...
Im paying 8.99 a month for 5GB Disk/120GB Bandwith

Anyone have a more reliable reseller plan that is close to that, let me know please
