U can check out this thread for my hosting plan required

Thanks in advance

This is just me personal opinion, but I don't see anything in that thread that looks to be sustainable business growth, much less if they're offering Java support as well.

Given your budget, just go for the cheapest one there. One may turn out better than the others, but it's very hard to judge from a economic point of view. I haven't heard anything good or bad about any host offering you a plan there.

If you're really looking for JSP/Servlets, then rise your budget, in, more or less $30-$40 for that kind of features, but, if JSP/Servlets its just an optional, and you don't really need it, that's another history.

Hi,

thanks for the reply. Java support was optional and not a necessity. Please suggest th best one

thanks

All the three companies you mentioned are good and their rates are also economical. You may go anyone of them who you feel they give good support.

Hi,

i contacted weblinenet.com . They said they had ds-3 connectivity to their backbone. While sprhosting has oc-12 connectivity.

which one is better. please suggest

Askids

T-3/DS-3 is 28 T-1/DS-1 circuits or 672 (i think) 64Kbps/DS-0 circuits.

OC-12/OC-12C on the other hand is equal to 12 T-3/DS-3 circuits.

Do your maths and you'll know the answer :)

Pipe size dosn't matter! Even if your host said they had an OC-192, your sites would not be any faster. Ask the host, who provides their bandwidth. The providers are what makes the difference in speed, not pipe size. (Well most of the time...:) )

So I could get a cable connection through a good provider and it would be better than OC-192.. sweet..

Hello,

Among the hosting providers you have listed, DigitalHost.net is well known to me.

I've heard good comments about their customer service. Also very reliable in technical support.

PS: They've been business for a year, so I believe you can trust them.

Okay, let me elaborate;

Let's say a provider has an OC-3, (or what ever it may be). Still with me? Okay good. Now lets say that pipe is fully saturated (It's pushing the full 155mbps). That's not good, it's going to be dropping packets to hell.

Conversley, let's say a provider had a T1. But if it's not fully lit, then it will be much faster than the OC-3 becuase it has the room to push all of your traffic thru it.

Speed also depends on who the provider is. It all depends on who the provider peers with.

Now you're talking about hosting off of your cable connection. Not going to work because cable is not nearly reliable enough.

OC-192?! Doesn't matter?! <faint> That's like 192 DS-3 circuits, or a 10 GBPS line! Only an insane person would turn down a oc-192 pipe from a not-so-good provider, as compared to a ds-0 (a bit exaggarated :D) from verizon ;)

Dude.. I was joking.. ahahhaa

Yeah but why would you need an OC-192, if your only pushing a few mbps of traffic. I must also agree that an OC-192 would be great, but who the hell would ever need one? (Unless of course you're a national sized ISP with nation-wide backbones) An OC-192 can push 10GBPS! I'd like to see the average webhost push that much...:cartman:

Yeah, I could kind of tell, but I can get kinda over-sensitive over things like these...:cool:

Whether you need it or not is a seperate issue -- Thing is, if you can get an OC-192, why not?

I'm just thinking.. one oc-192 pipe for a noc can probably serve for 10 generations to come, without any problems whatsoever. unless of course someone breaks it, heh :D

This is O/T but sanjiv I love your signature. Thats awesome

sorry guys,

I think we are going out my topic. Just suggest me which is better

weblinenet.com

or

sprhosting.com


Thanks

Askids

Askids, I would be careful with both sites. I don't know how you came across, but anyone offering bandwidth at that low of a price, there may be something fishy. Best of luck and you are doing a great thing by doing your HW. =-)
