20gb for $10.95 ? Sounds too good to be true. I would sign up in a second if I actually believed you would let me use 20gb in a month at no extra cost.

Whats your NOC?
Are you a reseller?
How many concurrent mySQL connections can the 100 plan have?

While browsing through their site and reading their FAQ

I came across this at: http://www.hostiva.com/faq.php#cat5_0

Additional Services
Do you have a RealServer?
No.

Can anyone explain what does it mean???

Thanks

Real Audio.

Thanks Walter.

Real Server is actually a server program for real audio/video that lets you stream the songs in different quality, send live broadcast (and other features) and won't let the user save anything on their harddrives. However, you do not need RealServer to let your users download/listen to real audio/video songs.

Thanks zolbian for enlightening me on the "RealServer" stuff. I have never used it but at least I now know what it does.

Thanks again

I want to host a message board for a very cheap price and 5.95 yearly SEEMs the way to go. Is the Shared Hosting suitable for a board? I'm EXTREMLY new to this stuff. Are they for real? I don't really expect how many people will accually come to the board, so this seemed perfect... Also, I'm not sure what board to use with the Shared service 20, so please recommend a FREE one that will use less space and go fast with that particular account.
Thanks.

Our NOC is at Burst.net.
No, we are most definitely NOT a reseller.
As many as you wish. You are limited only by allocated disk space and bandwith.

It is suitable for a board that does not have a LOT of users for two reasons: 1: Bandwith, 2: allocated disk space. You will always be able to upgrade your account.

SH20 allows you to have 1 mysql database (something you need for a board) and PHP.

Yes, we are for real.

Can I see a few of your clients sites?
How long have you been open?
How many clients do you have?

Resource Misuse
In rare cases, Hostiva may find a customer to be using server resources (including bandwidth, processing power and stored email) to such an extent that he or she may jeopardize server performance and resources available for other customers. In such instances, Hostiva reserves the right to suspend or terminate that site immediately. This policy is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. Again, excluding most extreme of circumstances, an effort will be made on part of Hostiva to resolve any issues before implementing the above remedy.

Disclaimer
Hostiva makes no warranties of any kind, whether expressed or implied for the service it is providing. It is the responsibility of the customer to backup any files stored on our servers. Hostiva will not be responsible for damages or losses the customer suffers, and any consequential damages or losses. This includes, but not limited to the loss of data, non-deliveries, mis-deliveries, or service interruptions caused by its own negligence, subscriber's errors or omissions, or due to the fault of any third parties.

From their terms of service,where would they shut us down for jepordizing bandwidth,would that be higher or lower than the maximum bandwidth limitation?If I bought the 20 gig plan,would 10 gigs be using too many resources?
Also,do you offer an uptime guarantee?

Billy,

resourse misuse does not necessarily have anything to do with bandwith. You get as much bandwith as we advertise. Resources can also be memory and processing power. We believe that if someone is running a process that is taking up 98% of our dual-processor servers' processing power, some action would be appropriate.

This is our legal stance, and may or may not have anything to do with actual action taken.

Our data center provides uptime guarantee of 99.5%. Actual readings during the past month have been better then 99.99%

Please make sure you take a look at PM that I sent you answering your previous questions.

Thank you for your interest.

Tom, there's no need to add anytything to your agreement. You have it very well covered already:

11. ColocateUSA reserves the right to suspend access to service for User's account(s) upon Indication of credit problems including delinquent payments or rejection of any credit card charges. ColocateUSA reserves the right to charge a $50.00 fee to reestablish suspended service.*

20. ColocateUSA, as a sole business judgment may terminate this membership Agreement immediately or suspend User's access to the service or reasons including, but not limited to, refusal or failure to pay for services provided or by sole judgment of ColocateUSA that User may be performing activities harmful to ColocateUSA or its Users, employees, vendors, business relationships or any other users of the Internet.

31. In the event the User defaults on this contract, ColocateUSA may suspend or revoke the User's membership privileges and the User may have to reapply for membership at the price ColocateUSA is charging to new customers. The User agrees to pay ColocateUSA's reasonable attorney's fees and court costs, where permitted, in collecting the amount remaining in the User's contract as stated in the sales order.

Well, yeah, but at least I wait 'till you actually *do* something.

As I said in an earlier post in another thread, the only bad customer is one who doesn't pay and doesn't contact me, either ahead of time or dodges me when I go to collect.
That above all else, especially for a hosting company that charges, is the unforgiveable sin. No pay, no play.
The landcape is littered with the bodies of companies that waited, hoped, begged and pleaded for money until their upstream cut them off and the people who really got screwed were the other customers who did pay, because the lights went out on them with no notice.
We have acquired right around 50 customers in the last 6-8 months that were left hanging when various small guys went under. Almost without exception their receivables were way out of line, and the customers had an "Unlimited Something(tm)" promised them. :angry:

There ain't no free lunch, you can't build up the weak by tearing down the strong, and the only thing unlimited is $DEITY's $QUALITY for all of us. Even me.:)

So do we, Tom, so do we. As to the rest of your message - all I can say is "Amen". ;)

So Is His Services Good? Any Can Gib COmment Before I Actually Sign Up??

Has anybody actually signed up yet? In a way it does sounds too good, but how can I trust that my site will be up 99.99%, when your boards aren't even working?

I applied for a reseller account and was approved by them. They don't have an automatic sign up for resellers presently as it's a pilot project according to them . You have to first get least a VH100 account to be eligible for reseller status. Then apply(email them with your account info) and they will let you know whether it's approved.

I agree they certainly have some very good package deals which are attractive to resellers. Anyway it's too early to tell how good they are so lets hope everything works well for them.

I am sorry for the error. I just checked their site a few minutes ago and they now have automatic sign up for resellers and it's $25 annually inclusive of customized nameservers for resellers.

I'm have some problem with them I use their online order using mastercard and when it processing it gib a time out error on ODBC and from my bank i can see the decution was puting on hold so does that mean they have get my order?

I have email them (hostiva) but haven't get a reply yet it abt 6 hour still waiting for them to verify it :(

For payment using Paysystem, you normally have to include the hyphen when entering your credit card number for example:

Correct:
xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

Incorrect:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Whenever I have to pay for something and if they are using PaySystem, I normally use the hyphen and it always works but without the hyphen it gets rejected.

Perhaps you could try again as I guess your order was not accepted.
