| by Aianda on 2004/4/12 23:57:33 I'm also with with Surpass running XOOPS here, there were problems earlier this year with hackers deleting content from a server on two occassions and no recent backups being available. Thankfully Surpass' processes have been rectified as a result and it hasn't been a problem since. Hackers seem to go after up and coming ISPs in the hope that customers will abandon after an attack or two. Occasionally, there is some downtime but again I think this has been improved in the last few months with the installation of a new router or something. I personally don't mind tiny bursts of web downtime occassionally (that could be because I'm in Australia and network caused), but I wouldn't suggest a high-traffic commercial site be installed on one of their shared hosting accounts. They have an awesome CPANEL system that allows for simple MySQL backups and FTP transers to other FTP accounts with other ISPs. This means that you could try them out and easily shift if you didn't like it. And server software seems to be always the latest version. I scanned so many webhosts and previously signed up with another two, to eventually be satisfied with this firm. |

| by jfernau on 2004/4/12 19:55:56 whttp://www.surpasshosting.com, and the forum, http://www.surmunity.com, are located in Jersey. The servers that they offer hosting on are located in their own datacenter in Florida. The business "presence" is located offsite so that they don't disappear off of the map in case something horrible happened to the datacenter or to the network there. John |

I recently uploaded a whole XOOPS file set via FTP including 30mb in a modules folder. This was on a 56k modem. All went through in one go, a perfect upload. Likewise using Cpanel, all works well including backups and resores to files and DBs. I have thrown a few questions into their forum and they have been answerd straight away by their tech staff. There is lots of detailed info on their boards regarding servers, status, maintenance, you name it. So far I have definitely had my $6.00 worth this month. If things continue like this, It will be the best move I've made... Time will tell. Richard |

Its servers (hosted by Net Access) are probably all located in New Jersey. No mention by Net Access about a data center in Florida. SURPASSING uptime by Netcraft It seems itself just recently (March 3) switched from Rackspace to Net Access. |
