I'm looking at Hosting4USA. I like the space/bandwidth they give me, and all the nice scripting/database options... what do you guys know about them? I couldn't find any mention of them when I searched the board...

I was looking around too and based on your post, I looked into them. There are a few opinions on them here, mostly very good:

ps: The one review that says it didn't find an address to post to didn't go to "contact" right on the top banner. There is a contact form.

This link refers to robowebite reviews. I don't see anywhere it says anything about hosting4usa.com. Did I miss something?

They both have 4's in their name. :D I just noticed the same thing. Maybe it's a typo on the part of the poster.

You're not missing anything. I made a mistake. Guess too many windows open at once, but I still like their plan and will probably sign up with Hosting4USA. Sorry for the hassle...

Well, here's some more news: I joined up; they were real prompt in answering my presales questions. I sent two support forms one and two days ago. Silence. The only good part is that the total investment was $15.

Are you able to publish your website?

Well, that's the problem. I won't set it to point to the new IP until the whole thing is up and running and the way the panel is set up, I can't publish to it until it's pointing there. I wanted an IP to publish to... So, the web is still in it's old location.
And, still no answer.

Uptime from findmyhosting:

Some downtime this year, but I if this data have some similarity with user account uptime is fine to me. Few hours of downtime per month is not very critical to me.

From hosting4usa page


“Connectivity
OC-48 Yipes data backbone. Servers nationwide.”

I do not know if “Yipes” is good or bad.

Another thing from hosting4usa page:

“We do not allow more than 50 customers per server”

Is 50 customers good or bad number ?

Maybe they assume that not all customers use all resources.

“We do not allow more than 50 customers per server”

Is 50 customers good or bad number ?


That's a pretty arbitrary number.
The number of clients per server depends on usage and server load.

If there are 50 customers who all bought packages with 2 gigs of space and 20 gig of bandwidth then the server is overloaded. If they all have 500 mb and 2 gigs then you could put many more than 50 accounts.
