Before you purchase a hosting plan from one of many web hosting companies on the web, one of the first things you should do is to know more about the company and their services. One way of doing this is by reading customer reviews regarding these hosting providers. There are a lot of sites that provide web hosting reviews but unfortunately some of them aren't reliable because they only give you positive reviews. That is not the case with Webhostinggeeks.Webhostinggeeks provide you with real and unbiased customer reviews of web hosting companies. Customer reviews at Webhostinggeeks are not all positive which means that they are not edited and that you also get to know about the weaknesses of a certain hosting company. Webhostinggeeks provide their own independent review of the top 10 web hosting providers who offer affordable web hosting services for less than $10/month. All hosting plans in these reviews include atleast a free domain name and a 30 day money back guarantee.At Webhostinggeeks, each web hosting review contains useful information like hosting plans/packages, general features, additional features, uptime monitoring chart and of course customer reviews/comments.

Goodbye Dreamhost, Hello MediaTemple!

12. March 2008 ·

32 Comments

It took around 24 hours for the new nameservers to be resolved. Finally, JaypeeOnline is in its new home MediaTemple. For those of you who are new here or don't know who my previous web host is, I moved JaypeeOnline to Dreamhost almost a year ago. I know some of you are waiting for this post. So why the move? My overall experience with DreamHost wasn't that bad but it could've been better. I'll be sharing with you some of the things that lead me to decide to move and switch to another web host.The first few weeks that I was with DreamHost, I already experienced several downtimes that lasted for more than a couple of hours. I was still fortunate because I found out from other bloggers that other clients experienced downtimes that lasted from a couple of days to a week! After a couple of months, uptime was okay and more stable.One time, I was installing a WordPress plugin when all of a sudden I got a "Fatal error" message. At first I thought it was caused by the plugin so I deactivated it but that didn't fix the problem. After sending a support ticket I found out from the customer support that DreamHost upgraded their PHP installation. It would have helped if they notified clients and warned them about it but they didn't. Their reason was they didn't want clients to panic. This didn't happen only once but several times while I was with them. Hosting providers should notify their clients whenever they are fixing or upgrading something especially if it can directly affect the client's website or blog.Several times I got a "505 Internal Server Error" on which I would immediately send out a support ticket each time. During one of these occassions, I found out from the customer support's reply that there was a security breach over at DreamHost and around 3,500 separate FTP account passwords were accessed by hackers. The hacking incident, although it was a major issue it was still an isolated case. Most of the time that I got the "505 Internal Server Error" was because of abusive users in the cluster or a high load in the servers.

Switching Web Hosts. Expected Downtime.

10. March 2008 ·

16 Comments

UPDATE: JaypeeOnline is back in business! The nameservers have already been resolved and everything seems to be working fine. Will be working on new posts and comment replies tomorrow coz it's already late and I need to get some sleep.I've been planning and thinking about moving to a different web host in the past few months and I've finally done it. After opening an account with my new host, the first thing I did was to backup all my files - WordPress themes, plugins, images and other necessary files via FTP including my WordPress database which I backed up via PHPMyadmin. I just updated the nameservers for JaypeeOnline a few minutes ago and migrated everything to my new web host. It normally takes about 24 - 48 hours for the domain name change to propagate through everyone's DNS server so that means some of you guys might get to the new site, others would get the old site. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and there won't be any problems with migrating to my new web host.Right now, I haven't installed WordPress yet because I'm waiting for WordPress 2.5 to be released so I can install it and use it right away instead of installing 2.3.3 now then upgrade it when 2.5 comes out. It supposed to be released today, March 10th and I'm guessing it would be released any time tonight. If it doesn't get released on or before midnight, then I have no choice but to install the 2.3.3 version.Comments are still enabled in the old site so it's still possible to leave comments. However, I ask that you wait until the site is under the new host before you post your comments. That way, your comments won't get lost. Also, I'll be skipping the weekly feature, Weekend Roundup this week and won't be posting any new posts so that I can concentrate on setting up, checking and making sure that everything works with my new web host. Expect updates and new posts in the next couple of days including replies to your comments and emails.

My web host, Dreamhost is currently celebrating its 10th birthday. The guys at Dreamhost had some limited edition keychains (500 pieces to be exact) made for their official party three days ago. It turns out that there are still some leftover keychains from the party and they're giving it all away. Here's how the keychain looks like:Learn how to get one after the jump
