You're rating Donhost and Virtual ISP higher than Vibus? Hardly think so, Vibus is easily the best of the hosts you listed there.

you're just rating them on speed, but speed is not everything, most of those hosts have no support at all.

Yes i have put Donhost and Virtual ISP above Vibus.

But remember .. i was rating them on the speed, service amounts provided and so on ....

Servicewise they are all about the same.

But thats not to say Vibus is not a good host.

Fasthosts is the only host out of the 4 which provides virtually no support.

I am not. You are though....

Your assuming that i have not got an account with them.

I said "I have not had an account with all 4 of the hosts listed".

I - meaning me personally.

But i do/had got access to all 4 hosts via clients / ex-clients.

lol dedicated.....

considering the questions you used to ask us i'd expect a 10/10 ;)

On the speed front, all our machines are in our own NOC now so speed isnt an issue....when you had an account, you were on a machine in a shared NOC which didnt have enough bandwidth to support us!

The question was not about asking or support it was about speed and having had an account with Vibus, Donhots, Fashosts I can honestly say that FASTHOSTS is the faster.

01-19-2002, 02:41 PM
Fasthosts is by far the most unreliable I have used. I used a fasthosts reseller before getting our own servers.

FH resellers are unlucky because they often can't do anything when thigns go wrong with FH cos FH dont seem to care.

I still have a domain with them (http://whost.co.uk)

I see usually 3/4 emails saying it has been down per day. :(

Before you comment about others - I suggest you take a look at your self - 4/10? seems a bit generous to me.

Actually donhost is faster than fasthosts .. and has more bandwidth available ... cos donhost unix reseller .. has servers located in Telehouse ...


Bandwidth to fasthosts according to web site :

30Mbit from BT
30Mbit from Telewest

totaling 60Mbit ( with 155mbit on tap )

OK , this is not true ... they get 8Mbit from BT and 8Mbit from Telewest.

Thats it.

UK Standard

If this is based on a UK standard then what does fast and fastish relate to???

This appears to be more biased personal opinion than actual fact seeing as for some of the reseller accounts are being judged on third hand information

This may obviously depend on your location as well

..

Ridiculing Jonny at Vibus just because a forum is offline, is no reason to question the ability of the company, Fasthosts seem unable to keep there mail servers running lately and I would say this was far more a serious issue

- No , its againsts the standard of UK only resellers

no .. that would make it slower ... donhost is pretty fast for me ... so is virtual isp .... fasthosts is ok .... but donhost is fastest ... vibus is pretty quick ... probally 2nd fastest...

Fast , slow - how about providing us with a technical answer

My 56 modem is "fast" but technically it is "slow"

..

Vibus is based in N Ireland

..

"UK Standard" Is it written down somewhere so I can look at it or just something us in the UK should know?

Rubbish! Vibus provide a service - and if they can't get a simple forum to work - what kind of message does that give?
We're not talking rocket science here - after all it's a freebie that most non profit sites are using across the net in droves!

Doesn't instill much confidence in a company does it? I mean what must their customers think who rely on them for technical support LOL.... perhaps jonny b should learn about 'people in glass houses......'

From discussions with Jonny_B, i think he is perfectly aware that his website has certain problems, however just because a forum doesn,t work doesnt mean that his ability to provide a service should be questioned. There are more ways to provide technical support and you do not see any of his customers complaining here

There could be a number of reasons why the board is unavailable, but i assume you have not asked him directly if it bothers you so much

Fasthosts have much more major problems, but they seem to manage signing up new customers

Donhost took their ftp access offline, but i bet they still have people sign up

Thanks

I asked Vibus why the forum wasn't working some time ago and the answer was "Nobody used it , so we took it down ".
Fair enough , I thought , if it were mine though , I'd take down the link, it doesn't look good.
I'm just about to open a account with them , the questions I had were answered quickly and honestly , so I'm not worried.

going on what you say .... a bullet goes at 1mph ... do think thats fast ... or is 1000mph fast ???

OK .. fast means it gets from place to place quickly ... slow means it doesn't .... when i load the Vibus.net website .. its not that fast .. but when i load donhost and resellers web sites ... it is ....

Thus how i got to my conclusion.

Surely pinging or tracerouting from various parts of the globe would be a better indication?

And different parts the UK even, different connection. It may just be that your ISP has bad peering to whatever network a provider is on.

i have to internet connection providers ... both have good network connections ... both provide me with Broadband internet access ..... read into that as much as you like ...

But 1 is cable .. 1 is a BT adsl provider.

Now .. i believe Vibus.net is on the NTL backbone .... guess who my cable provider is ... well when i'm not using my BT connection.

01-20-2002, 08:55 AM
So from what i gather from this UK standard it is defined as such:

The UK standard is based on how fast or slow cdudeuk18 's 2 broadband connections are!

Thanks for clearing that problem up for me as it gave me a sleepless night

I haqve been hearing from couple of people where they had their reseller accounts with Donhost, that they are bunch of crooks. They give you this unlimited deal, but its all based on gimmicks.

I would rate them the lowest even if they have fast speed, no one gets the chance to use it!!!

Who's throwing stones? Not me anyway....

Why did you feel the need to create a new account just to winge about our defunct forum?

Considering we have a support desk for technical queries i doubt another forum ( on top of our current ones ) is going to make any difference......lol

So were basing this on internet connections in the UK from the same geographic location accross two UK backbones... I don't understand how you can call this a standard? Its at most two 2mbit connections (more likely 512k). :eek:

its abit over standard actually

512kbit cable
1mbit adsl

However the UK standard speed / features / price ... Donhost / Vibus.net / Virtual ISP are best priced ... with fasthosts coming last.

Just a quick question, where are you getting 2Mbit cable from? I know NTL are trialling 1Mbit cable in certain areas, but I haven't seen a cable provider that will give you 2Mbit.
Please PM me if the thread closes...

We however need more connections to provide a higher level of availability


Do you ‘own’ your NOC as the latter thread seems to imply? If so why haven’t you included yourself in your original post relating to other UK resellers?
Perhaps you don’t offer reseller options – so why the statement, it’s hardly informative.
Perhaps you’d like to post your NOC and URL details here that we may make a comparison of your services?

Afterall, it only seems fair.......... especially to those you have chose to comment about. If you are unable to post a URL or details about your NOC - then what are you talking about????

I do not own the noc .. however i work for the person who does.

We will be offering reseller options to clients ... but we currently do not and we are not located within the UK also its not fair to compair a host of our standard to such well standing hosts.

We are yet to be completely formed.


The hosted stated at first are .. and this is about UK resellers .. even though i am based in the UK .. my boss is not .. he is located in Florida .. where the NOC is.

Is a bit of a ‘typo’ / ‘slip of the tongue’ as Our should have read My boss’s.


its not fair to compair a host of our standard to such well standing hosts.


Well, as you don’t provide any reseller options within the UK,

Don’t worry about answering my previous question, I’ve found the answer myself:

I just took a look at your forum

Amazing $9.95 per month web hosting ... hosted on fast servers in a fast NOC. For more info go to : http://www.cybercitys.tv

When I tried to access the URL I receive “Can’t Find Server’ – does that qualify for a -20/10 for web hosting?

I think that the most sensible post that you have made in this thread was

close thread ... too many off topic posts .. getting nowhere

As this URL, which I presume is also you http://www.lameindustries.org/hybrid/hof/hof.cgi?stats=cdudeuk18 combined with this thread doesn’t seem to be doing your credibility much good.

I can assure you that I have not personal vendetta against you nor do I have any problem with you, I asked you a simple question regarding your original post, which you have yet to answer. Having failed to do that I came to my own conclusions.

jonny b: my point exactly, and hence my question.

Hmmm, I think not, extreamly fast would be the OC3s that our servers are sat on the end of, 512k doesn't qualify as fast, technically 512k doesn't even qualify as boradband, I believe to be rightly called broadband it has to be 768k or 1Mbit (Something around there).

Ok ... let me paint you a picture ..

I have an oc-192 .... but the site i'm visiting has an 56k modem.

How fast is my connection ??

My cable connection is 512k
My adsl connection is 1mbit

Simple... my broadband connections are pretty fast ... the adsl is fast cos there arn't many ppl in my area which have it.

Yup, you can get upto 2Mb ADSL in the UK - although upstream remains 256k.

Quite interesting that BT actually allow you to host a website on their business DSL packages!

" Fixed IP address(es) and NAT - host a site and use real-time applications "

hmmmmm.....as they say ;)

I could host a web site on my adsl .. but that would be very stupid .. as i can get max 256k upstream.

We will be offering reseller options to clients ... but we currently do not and we are not located within the UK also its not fair to compair a host of our standard to such well standing hosts.

We are yet to be completely formed.


The hosted stated at first are .. and this is about UK resellers .. even though i am based in the UK .. my boss is not .. he is located in Florida .. where the NOC is.

Phew this is hard going :bawling: Then would you advice us who you work for?

I have already explained this many a time

I work for a "being setup company" .. meaning the company is still being setup ... which i have nothing to do with...

All i'm doing is adding more features to our own cp ... .. amust other things ..

My Job is : Admin , Programming.

I'm based in the UK so cannot comment on the status of the NOC and when the other staff will be moving into the on-site offices.

i'm not going to be asked all these questions once we get started up ( thankgod ) .. the other members of staff will be.
