Don't use globat for xoops

I registered an account with globat and I think they officially have the worlds slowest MySQL database, 15 seconds plus to load a page. They said "no it is fast and must be your local ISP". I copied the entire site to another host and asked them why my ISP now gives <1 second response with the new host? I received no response.

Any way now trying to get my domain name back off them. That is another story.....

Could it be that you live on the east coast, and the globat servers are located in Los Angelas? Tracing the route can tell you a lot about where you are hosting your website and how clients are actually recieving the data.

I use Globat for 3 sites one XOOPS at http://www.code33.com and I am always having server issues they are not 99.9% uptime and are extremeely slow. not sure if it the MySQL database connection.

I am going to switcht o a new host with cpanel and better service. Since I want to use the webmailfx module instead of hivemail. Anyone know of a comparable host?

I use, and have since 2000, American Hosting Although they do not support XOOPS directly, they have everything needed for a successful installation. cPanel accounts start at about $5.75 mo.

Never had a problem in four years.

Thanks I will have to check them out. Globat is horrible, even after you call them they give you a canned answer about technical problems everytime.

I am also going to check out lunar hosting (I think thats the company name)...any idea how they are?
