| by moorej on 2005/9/19 4:40:36 I use ace-host.net tech supports is ticket based for the most part. However they are awesome and i have a set of tests that i "bench" my hosts against. I am working on starting a hosting company, iZoom Networks, look for me. Mac hosting well priced and reliable. My DC is great. Just my two cents.

| by bumbum on 2005/8/16 14:06:56 I've just changed over from iPowerWeb to MidPhase. I found IpowerWeb a fine host at first but they can be a little 'rigid'. Certain modules like the photo galleries don't work because of the default locations and permissions of the tmp directories for uploading. When I encountered this problem I asked support to help me out by changing the permissions and I was told it was not possible. Explaining my dilema I was told 'we do not support Xoops'. After several similar issues I began thinking of going to a more flexible host. Another issue I found with iPowerweb is the problem with SQL requests - I have a mailing list with 12k subscribers and have had to controll the mailout using batches and throtteling it to prevent the SQL database shutting the door on my whole website - 'max requests exceeded' errors etc... cronjobs are very difficult to setup too. My opinion is that IpowerWeb is a decent host with some nice features but isn't ideal for a XOOPS web site (or any other site or application that relies heavily on the SQL database). The support ain't all that great either. I'm only with MidPhase about a month now and so far it seems far better than iPowerweb - I'd recommend that you check out the forums on a few different hosts and their references to XOOPS before deciding which one to use. |

| by JamesSAEP on 2005/7/15 2:27:13 Your completely correct surpass. Yes, it is in good spirit, but it is a pain when it comes to emailing 100 users... If I wanted to pay for a dedicated server, I could email as much as I wanted. So a better solution was to go with a less restrictive hosting company. 100 emails per is a much better limit, 5 per 10 seconds is kind of rediculous. |

Most likely that is a precaution in place in case any site on the server is exploited and used to send spam (mainly phish scams).. I would believe iPowerWeb has more problems with that due to more users and more servers, thus they have ended up enforcing such a strict rule. That seems _more_ strict than general rules, but it's in good spirit (or sanity protection)... :) |
