I'm almost certain MediaTemple has all that. If you don't care about a fancy

vendors tend to quote the raw drive capacity as thats what costs money,

ummmnot quite.

4 x 300GB in raid 1+0 = 600GB
2 x 500GB in raid 1   = 500GB

So, 500-600 GB.

If you want serious control over the machine and are willing to pay a bit
more for a dedicated server, take a look at ServerBeach.  They offer several
operating systems, including CentOS, and give you control over the box to
the point that you can even re-image the disk remotely if you truly screw
something up.  If you do something nasty to it and cause it to lock up, you
can still remotely reboot.  Hardware RAID-1 is available.

You get out-of-the-box CentOS and are allowed to install pretty well
anything you like, including virtual machines on top.  If you need reverse
DNS lookups you can request whatever response you'd like for the IP
address(es) you have.  Just be aware that what you get is simply a complete
machine fully exposed to the Internet, and you're responsible for your own
iptables firewalling, etc.  Their support staff is friendly and responsive,
but they expect you to be your own geek.

For DNS service I use Nettica because they are relatively inexpensive and
give you control over all of the records.  I use GoDaddy strictly as a
registrar, and have been very happy with the service, but I don't consider
them a serious hosting provider because there's not enough control.

I have used several of the free hosting and DNS services out there, but when
it comes down to the crunch, you get what you pay for (CentOS is a great
exception!)

BTW, I have no connection with these companies, I just happen to like their
services.  A lot.

And, on their connectivity. My sites are on shared servers in two
different OLM   DCs, in CT. Multiple providers for connectivity. A day
or two ago, there was some problem/error caused by AT&T and
*everything* was offline, in the Stratford, CT DC, for 45 minutes or
an hour. Despite the best laid plans OLM has made and their redundant
connectivity, the DC was offline. Also, look at their emergency power.
The other DC is in an area that lost power a week or so ago and it's
nice that their emergency generators and UPS can keep things up and
running, as was the case. The kind of DC the server is in can make a
lot of difference. Look at the information about the DC your server
will be in and who is there, if there's a disaster at Midnight or 1
A.M., as happened in the Stratford DC a day or two ago...   I know OLM
does everything possible, to try to keep disasters from happening. Be
sure the DC you select does the same! Infrastructure is costly and
important.


I know on http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ one can find someone or a
company to "Manage" a Dedicated server or VPS, but as with any
"Managed" service, the OP and his company should completely understand
what their "Management" does or does not include. I suspect it will
cost more, for a "Fully Managed" dedicated or vps from the provider,
than buying the services separately, but not sure about that.

Good review criteria, I like it. There is not an service credit on the planet
that would make things right, but there is insurance and the insurance rates
factor in what does the provider promise / provide / history

As it is not justifiable to have a dedicated sysadmin for one box, when you can
pay for a shared sysadmin.

For what my client would need, I coud admin the box very well, but I would have
to bill him for it.

As such, "the web designer" has chimed in as said, you would not have these

So you need 1-2 TB.

I'll see what I can do.
We don't run a local mirror, yet, anyway.

Hi Jason,


Could I suggest Hivelocity.net?  I just started working here recently, 
and I can tell you that we offer all the above. Im not to sure if anyone 
on the list will have an opinion on the either way, and I cant give an 
unbiased one, but believe you would be satisfied with our cust service 
as well.  Im just a lowly tech, not a sales person either, so take that 
for what its worth.  HTH.

I think people are pushing the VPS service because people who are interested
in administering the OS are likely to want the provider to handle the
hardware and network, but let them handle the Linux stuff.  this is 
where the responsibility is split on a VPS.

And it is a very clean and clear line, which I like.  I am responsible for 
the [virtual] hardware and network, you are responsible for the Linux bits.
Very clear.  when you are down, you know who is responsible.  

(I am a vps provider, but I am not what you want.  I do have
a SLA on the hardware/network, but I don't even have a login account
on your VPS.   I like it.  I get to play with the bits I like. )  

another note:  I would focus less on SLA and more on how often they are
down (and how open they are about downtime.  Hiding downtime is a very
bad sign.)  Does a free month really make up for any significant amount of 
downtime?   

If you want that line to be between your code and whatever language/framework 
you wrote your app in, you need to get specialized hosting for that 
language/app.  

You are probably going to pay more for this than for more 'generic' hosting
or even than for VPS hosting, but if you aren't good at or don't like being a
SysAdmin, well, it's probably worth it.  

Personally, I think you should ask on a mailing list for whatever your
webapp is written in.  I know there are several hosting companies who
specialize in doing what you want for ruby on rails, and thousands who
specialize in doing this for PHP.

We mostly do real iron (managed).
VPS is only something that came up recently because real iron got too  
fast for single projects.
We also do Solaris zones and also VM-VI, of course.

The entire centos infrastructure is built from donated hardware and

You mean for the CentOS project?

Hm. Haven't though about that. I assumed, CentOS had enough of

But I could certainly ask.

I am renting a full root access vm from a friend of mine..gives me 
everything except the sla.  If you want the sla you are going to be

I don't know if they have everything you look for, but I have all of
my personal web sites hosted at http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=10785129

They are cheap and have multiple levels of packages to support a lot

Are we talking about PHP or similar?  In that case, you probably don't 
need root access.  I wouldn't really call that "installing software".  I 
reserve that term for stuff that typically lives under /usr or /opt.

If we're talking about anything that needs to be compiled and can't run 
from either /home or cgi-bin, I think we're back to root access or fully 
managed hosting.

Better get one.  VM technology is only going to become more pervasive. 
If you think you don't have any use for VMs, you're probably wrong. :) 
There's nowhere I use computers that I don't use VMs, now.

> Not willing to take responsibility, but willing to pay for it.

How much?  Fully managed hosting usually starts well North of $100 a month.

I thought about that, but assumed that since GoDaddy hosting was 
attractive to him in the first place, he's probably not looking for your 
sort of services.  But maybe this thread is his change of heart.  In 
that case, there are lots of managed hosting companies, and yeah, 
they're expensive.  Humans want to be paid enough to house themselves 
and eat, for some reason.

Exactly. We will only need to push our "web application" and pull our logs.

We can use rsync over ssh, scp, or subversion over ssh/https to do our push and
pulls. No need for more ... (insert 640k jokes)

I think you do not understand: he wants a managed VPS/manged root server.

Actually, my employer does provide those, but they are no bargains.

But you do want to install software.  It's possible to install some 
kinds of software without root access, but you're cutting yourself off 
from a huge world of software that doesn't allow this.

You can maybe install some simple CGI programs, and you'll have to build 
everything from source, because you can't change the RPM DB, you can't 
make servers listen on ports < 1024, you'll have to reconfigure/rebuild 
anything that wants to put config files in /etc  I don't see why 
you'd shackle yourself like that.  You don't get "yum install thingy" 
without root access.

Everyone's pushing you to one of the VPS providers because that's what 
all the cool kids are doing now that VM technology is commoditized.

And on that note, we use VPSLink.  Their parent company, Spry, offers 
VPSes with more hand-holding, at a higher price.  You can get VPSes from 
either with various flavors of CentOS on them.

And I can warn you off of WebIntellects.  Not bad people, but I left

On a more serious note, I was thinking while reading the list the 
morning what a great statement it makes for the dedication of the guys 
who make CentOS work and for their product, that there are questions 
about providers, software choices and general banter only 2 days after 
the release of several hundred megabytes of updated software being 
glommed by hundreds of thousands of users.  Thanks!

I'm in France (Europe), and I'm using a cheap dedicated server by OVH. 
Support is forum only, so that's how they keep the cost down. Reasonably 
fast machine, 250 GB harddisk, full root access, CentOS base install 
(several Linux distros on offer, with CentOS, Slackware and Debian in 
the "expert" selection), ssh access... and from there on, you do 
anything you like on this machine. Bandwidth is a real 100 Mbps, and the 
whole thing costs only around 25 euros a month. Looks pretty much 
unbeatable.

cheers,

Niki Kovacs

PS: I'm running a database server for eleven small public libraries on 
it... plus my private webradio to fill some extra unused bandwidth:

We have a shared account with godaddy, and they told us that there is a known
issue with connectivity (actually it was server load of 2x # of cpus) and we
could not be relocated to another server, and if we wanted expidited response we
would have to pay 150$/hour.

You can check out 000Webhost (www.000webhost.com)

I don't know if they have everything you need, but they do provide SSH
access with their Premium (paid) service ($4.84 a month). I've signed up for
their free hosting and it works well, I can't vouch for their paid service.

One that my brother and I have used for a long time is 34SP (www.34sp.com).
They started in the United States but moved to England, but have great
service. They specifically mention rsynch in their business plan, but
there's no specific mention of ssh -- so you would have to ask. (Again, our
needs are more of the hobbyist type.)

We had some issue with GoDaddy, can't remember exactly what it was now (I
think they wanted more control), so we went with Dotster via ZoneEdit (
www.ZoneEdit.com). ZoneEdit is a nice tool -- gives you more control over
your domain name -- and free for small "hobbyist" web builders.

I strongly agree with  Karanbir that it would be preferable to be on a
Server with CentOS. Both of my sites are on Shared servers at OLM. You
can also look on   and get a lot of
information in the forums. At least one person on this list has a
Dedicated server at OLM and is happy with it. As I write this, I can't
remember his name.

I have used godaddy for hosting my e-commerce site for years.  You probably
need to go with one of their shared servers or dedicated servers.  You won't

I'm currently using linode.
I have CentOS running in a xen there.

My site is small low traffic, I can't vouch for how well it works in 
high traffic sites, but it is really nice to have full control.

You probably will have some updating to do - the only CentOS image 
available when I signed up was 5.0 but it yum updates no problem.

I've been very happy with http://www.bluehost.com
They offer ssh, rsync, SSL, and seem to have a compiler installed.  Very
responsive service.  I've been using them for 15 months without a
single complaint of problem.

I have no affiliation with this company - just a client.

Not sure about https - but I think so.  Email support includes
IMAP, POP and web via squirrel mail.

godaddy is a registrar, not a hosting service.they pretend to be the 
latter, but seriously...


i'd be looking for someone providing either VPS or dedicated servers.  
you get root, you get to configure.  lots and lots of choices.
