Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : 10 add on domains, Fantastico, True 99.99% Uptime, High Bandwidth

[websiteideas]

Those are the features I'm interested in. Who is offering such a plan for less than $20 per month?

Disk Space is not important. 1 GB would be more than enough. And, 5 GBs of transfer is more then enough.

However, a constant high speed connection so that webpages load fast all the time is very important.

Maybe you can put some numbers to the connection speed.... ?

[laydee]

Frozen Midnight maybe? :/

[IndigoHosts]

Do you have any particular type of hosting in mind (windows or Linux) and what additional features would you need?

If you could let the board know more about your exact requirements/preferences, we may be able to offer more suggestions. :-)

Windows? Linux? Any Control Panel of preference?

.... sounds like your looking for a shared cluster solution (which, unfortunately, at present anyways, isn't really possible under cPanel - but is under H-Sphere ).

The OP mentions Fantastico, which, AFAIK, is only available under cPanel.

???? How did you came to that conclusion?

Well, 99.99% uptime is rather hard to achieve on a single server architecture.

Also in a clustered server, because what it does change is that you have different services in different servers, if your httpd goes down, it doesn't matter if your email or mysql server is up.

BTW, 0.01% is like 525.6 Seconds down a year, about 8 minutes, which is possible.

You're right

[BF-Gary]

Your budget is more in line for a 99.9% uptime. If you need a 99.99% you will need to rethink your budget.

Absolutely agreed.

Consistent 99.99% uptime is difficult enough to achieve for one of the many points of failure (server, power, network, DNS, etc.). It is not at all trivial to achieve that level of uptime for all of them. Add them all together and the costs become exponentially higher.

You should ask yourself if you really need "less than 5 minutes downtime a month" (many major banks have more downtime than that) or do you simply want to be reimbursed for any downtime over 99.x%?

With "regular" shared hosting, it would take a lot of luck to end up on a server that will have that kind of uptime for a whole year.

The only host I know that is 99.9% uptime is GoDaddy. Except they don't offer Fantastico (or cPanel)..
