Where are you hosted?
 

I'm looking for a new host that supports domains for my site. I think it's my host that's making the script go weird (specifically their mysql.)

Arvyre, FE, and Mystic grove, your sites seem to work OK. What do you use?

I'm hosted on Surnaturelle.net, but they don't have readfile() enabled. I've heard Dreamhost is good though. Thinking about moving there just for FE.

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

readfile? So does that meant that your site doesn't work as it should, then?[hr]
And thanks. Surnaturelle doesn't have the space I'm looking for, but Dreamhost looks great :)

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

It's okay. I signed up with Surnaturelle to host my artwork & design portfolio as well as my project site (currently at http://starduskstudios.net and http://end-day.net respectively). I think I'll be moving to Dreamhost myself.

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

Dreamhost looks really good :)

MG is hosted with Hostmonster.

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

Thanks :) But I do think it's the script. How strange............... :3 Maybe I'm just installing it wrong or something.

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

We're hosted on hostgator. They only give you problems if your site starts tearing apart their servers. ^^

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

Dreamhost and Hostmonster are REALLY good.
I'm using Hostmonster right now.

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

Great, thanks :)[hr]
It appears it IS my host....

Quillink: On hostgator, do you use a shared plan?

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

BMR, what host would you recommend? I have a budget of $10 a month at most :3 And I'll be using the script so it'll be a medium-traffic site.

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

I would recommend a couple of hosts:

It's My Server - This host is run by Roger Smiley who is one of the moderators here. It is also where these forums are hosted. I don't know though if it is officially open for business or not as Roger seems to be working on the main website and it doesn't seem complete at this moment.

Dotstrar - I also recommend this host. This is actually the host I use for my development server, so it would be the exact same server (or very close to it, depending which box you would be on) I use to develop the Adoptables script. Thus, you know the script will work as it is the same server config under which the script was developed. :)

Both are good choices I think. :)

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

How much bandwidth do you think I should get? I've calculated using some online tools that I currently use about 6 GB of bandwidth a month.... So which plan would be the best? I'm currently veering towards Professional on DotStrar...[hr]
Also, how exactly does reseller hosting work on DotStrar? Is the 200,000mb allotted for you, or for everyone on your server (or in other words, is it shared?)

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

This may help with the reseller information Rose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reseller_hosting
Or this pulled from HostGator's website:
Brandon, do you have a code for dotstrar? Something where if you refer a user you get so much off hosting?

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

I joined Dotstrar, now to wait 24 hours :)

And thanks enddayne, that was very helpful.

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

My affiliate link is:
http://hosting.dotstrar.com/cp/aff.php?aff=063

This will give me 10% of any hosting payments for life, so if you want to help me and go with DotStrar then this would be nice. :)

Thanks,
Brandon

Erm, I'm registered there and I payed. They told me it'd be 3 days at most until my domain was registered. It's been 4..... *pokes the server*

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

*pokes* BMR, did you have to do anything special when your domain name was registered? Now it's been 5 days and I'm really at a loss to explain this.

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

Did you register it through your host or through another company? You might have to change the nameservers of the domain to point to your server.

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

I registered it through dotstrar, and apparently it's still being propagated....[hr]
Erm, should I have bought the domain first, and then the hosting? I bought the hosting plan and they asked me for a domain name, so I just put the one I wanted to have registered in. Their support people aren't getting back to me and I'm very worried :3

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

That's real odd that they're not getting back to you. When did you open a support ticket? Usually they get back to me within 24 hours when I ask something.

I've never had any problems with DotStrar, but I never used their domain registration services, only the hosting. I wonder if domains are handled by a different support staff or something there.

RE: Where are you hosted?
 

Yeah.... I sent one ticket 3 days ago and another just now since I think I forgot to add high urgency to my last one.

They asked me for a domain name when I registered and I simply assumed they were going to add that to my plan cost.

*is worried*

000webhost is very good. =) You can have multiple sites, a blog, an image host, 2 different File Uploaders (So you don't need Smart FTP or anything), MyPHP, etc.
