I am planing to create a new site soon that will be mostly based on the UBB 6.0 ( http://www.infopop.com )(when it comes out of course). this site will start out slow but will quickly grow to have thousands(!) of daily users. To start I will only need like 50megs storage and 2gigs bandwidth and lots(a whole lot) of cgi use(needs to be fast). This could easily grow to 250megs storage and 10gig transfer in 6 months. I'm looking for feedback from people with first hand experience like this and what hosts they recommend. I'm currently looking at http://www.telaserv.net/ as a possibility. thanks for any and all feedback.

To tell you the truth... I neva heard of them before. But it nice if you try them out and tell us about them.

Look in to this host list, they are all genuine host.

It looks like none of Teleserv's plans offer more than 5GB bandwidth -- only half of the bandwidth you expect to reach in 6 months.

I talked to a sales person there and they are getting new servers that give the capability for seamless transfer between plans and would be happpy to start out small and grow to a custom plan with dedicated servers. I feel that would give me personalized service that I wouldn't just be an another account number. They seem to sound very reliable and able to help me.

Actually you may not have heard of this host, but he's a member of the forum. This is felix220's project. Although I don't host with him, I do see that he posts lots of helpful messages and I actually also exchage emails with him about hosting and domains, etc. He's quite intelligent and humorous. If it meets your needs, then I'd give them a shot! Maybe you can contact him/them about what you need and work something out.

Side Note: I don't know why he doesn't use his signature to list his site, but I suppose that's his choice.

revensonjr:

Hostrocket.com has an economy package just nice for you, and their service is highly recommended by members of this forum, do a search on hostrocket.com in this forum to find out.

So... is anyone gonna say "Go with Teleserv, I have had very good experience with them!"

Well, due to the fact that felix220 does not have his company listed in his signature, i wonder if he/they have clients on this board? Other than checking out his posts (http://www.webhostlink.com/search.php?query=&forumchoice=-1&booleanand=yes&searchin=all&searchdate=-1&searchuser=felix220&searchdateline=&exactname=yes&action=dosearch&getdaily=&pagenum=)...

I'll have to have a talk with him, he really seems like a nice guy. Never advertises his company, but there's no reason for him not to have a signature. Pity.

See, I stay away for a day or so and I end up in the ****

I guess I will put a signature after this post, but I don't like advertising in this environment.

I have already had the pleasure of exchanging several emails with the author of this post so I can't see much point in saying anything else here.

Thanks for the kind words Chicken, :blush:

(PS: my bank is suspicious about making the draft payable to anyone with a name like yours Chicken, so what do I do? :wavey: )

Fellow webmasters ... Up the top of this thread I've noticed someone enquiring about Telaserv hosting. I my self am a Telaserv customer and have nothing but good things to say about their services.
Their customer support is the best I have ever seen on the Internet (be it hosting or any other type of company) ...
My website is delijesever.com (and soon delijesever.net - free web sites and space) which by the way David (one of the techs) is working on. Be it your site or any other issue on the NET they are there to help.
Also, they have suggested in the first place AND taken care of all the contracts with third party companies that deal with ME (even though that is not Telaserv's job).
Before I submit, I'd like to mention that even though my payment was late A MONTH, my website was not in danger of being shut down at any point, and that matters as it is an EMAIL SERVICE) ... Not that I am encouraging people to send late payments :) .
My website is a soccer clubs fan website which provides free services with that attractive address :) ... it is as I said delijesever.com and that is WITHOUT THE R :) ... Not server but sever (which means north) ... Anyways, that would be all for now, and simply said:
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TELASERV!

revensonjr, you should look into vBulletin (http://www.vbulletin.com) before you commit to UBB. It's a lot less resource intensive.

See if S-p-a-c-e-c-h-i-c-k-e-n works any better *wink*

Seriously, I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. Be well.

Thank you Chicken, duhhhh....I thought when it said 'Space' it meant the space bar.....

(I must admit this is a shameless attempt to claw nearer to post #100.)

I have now included a hastily devised and temporary signature, Chicken. I just hope it works out, because in MY version of the CDS, the S actually oversees the D of C's, if you get my meaning...:eek:

Telaserv is a first class company with first class customer service. I highly recommend them.

Do you have a website URL?

Pardon me if I'm wrong, I just have this funny feeling why suddenly there are new members with no website URL pop up identifying themselves as telaserv loyal/happy customers ?

I provided my web site URL within my reply.
Seems as if some of you are sceptical :) Email their support and see the quality of their replies ... you'll like it :)

By the way, can any of you visit my website and tell me if it looks good and is at a satisfactory standard :) Also please give me some tips on how to make it even batter (one little line can make a site looks waaaaayyy better)!

Fong, you are pardoned.

I can assure you I am not manufacturing *fictitious* clients for the benefit of the author of this thread, or anyone else.

Even if I was of a mind to do such a stupid thing, I doubt I'd risk it around here with all the highly observant and diligent members, such as you, just waiting to pounce on any false statements or other unbusinesslike activity.

Keep up the good work! ;)



Ah, Fong I just realised why you are so diligent.

"...Our state of the art facility located in Baltimore, Maryland ensure highest safety measure to every server we have that will never turns you down..."

I found this claim on your home page.

You must have recently purchased Alabanza and are determined to rid the hosting community of all the charlatans and providers of inadequate, bad quality services

Well I was an Alabanza reseller and about to leave for good, but now that you have acquired their NOC, I shall reconsider.

Thanks.

felix220:

Again, my sincerest apology ;) I've almost forgotten you're among the list of good hosts..and I hate to say this, kunal's post asking for URLs has coz me a bit of confusion... :D (just kidding)

vedran --> My message wasnt for you :) I saq your page. My message was for MBNapier

vedran:

There are a team of helpful reviewers in the Website Reviews and Critics (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=10) ready to help you improve your website, feel free to request. :)

[Edited by fweikeong on 01-17-2001 at 04:13 AM]

vedran --> delijesever.com is the website you host with teraserver right?

How come it shows up hosted somewhere else? Which is the website you host with teraserver?

Well, the only statement I would make here is I am only a reseller and I don't own Alabanza.

I trusted the moderators of this forum and highly value their recommendations and comments.

Thank You.

First, thank you for the link on site improvement!
My site is hosted with telaserv, believe me I know who hosts it hehehe :) ...

Well, just thought I'd add this. Felix is a great guy. He has been really helpful around the board. And I think you should be fine if you go with him :)

Thanks kunal....

Just in case anybody thinks that I threatened to inflict any violence upon your good self to illicit your suddenly changed attitude, I didn't.

Here is a URL with the records of delijesever.com, with excerpts below...(sorry vedran, I didn't ask you)

So, kunal, where did you get your info that vedran wasn't with us?? Or maybe you're right and vedran and I are both mistaken about our commercial relationship!

And as for poor MBNapier, who IS a customer with 5 domains on our servers, he probably wasn't aware that he had to be subjected to a grilling when he kindly posted his brief comment.

I think this post should close now please, before I lose any more.




[Edited by felix220 on 01-17-2001 at 07:19 AM]

Felix, when I did a tracert of the domain name, it dint come even close to where teraserver is hosted.

All we wonted to know was, which domains he had hosted with you. It had a simple reply to it. How many domains he had dint matter. You for all should have known, that there have been many newbie posts, causing problems on the board. I dint associate you with the company, cause to tell you the truth, I dint know it was your project until some one told me. If just asking one question hurt so much, Im sorry.

I got the names confused. I did a tracert on teraserver instead of telaserv. I guess I mis-read. If you guys think this is a lame excuse, you can check my previous posts and I said teraserver everwhere. If you guys had read my post, you would have realised. Anyways, Im sorry about the confusion.

Cool, I'm extra touchy because I've just stopped smoking after 24 years, so I apologise; and you're right to check on suspect issues, only maybe you could just ask discreetly BEFORE you employ the sledge hammer of innuendo... :)

According to my bills, I have a server at Catalog.com as well as others, and this is who issued the IP that vedran's domain points to. There have been a couple of PTR issues regarding previous 'users' of certain IP's, (which is being fixed BTW) but beyond that I don't know what could show up that would indicate that he was hosted elsewhere, like you said.

I'll be happy to address the matter if it's something I have yet to come across...


[bit added in edit, for good luck]
BTW, we also have telaserver.com (with an *L*) which is different again from telaserv.com. Just in case you are further confused in your investigations.

[Edited by felix220 on 01-17-2001 at 08:52 AM]

At one time, Kunal's title was, "The Confused Moderator" you know. No further comment :)

Yes, very confused. I'm going to have a little chat soon..

Being new around here I tend to lurk and learn. I neglected to post my URL's because there really isn't anything of interest there at the moment (currently rebuilding all new pages). But if you would like to take a look:

http://www.zyklon.com
http://www.anamosity.net

Sorry,
Marty

It really doesnt matter what your pages contain. Its more of a case of knowing you host with them. Nothing else. :)
