Actually there is - it just seems like noone here has much experience with it. I know that intervision has such a service. Never used it, and when I asked it was much more expensive than abroad. But it might be just what you need. -- Didi = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The main point for this application is to have an IP address hosted in Israel, latency is not an issue and I don't expect the server to require much resources (memory, cpu). We are already using ThePlanet for medium-sized servers for other functions (two dual quad core servers are our latest purchase, for about 1700$US a month) and they are pretty good. --Amos = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: OT:cheap and reliable web hosting anyone ?
Amos, Unless you're building something which requires small latency (such as video/audio streaming), I strongly suggest you should look for such a thing outside of Israel. I just took a simple server from theplanet (they are located at Texas), which costs me $89 a month: Celeron 2.4Ghz, 1GB RAM, 80GB Disk, 750GB transfer per month, Centos 5, and you can do whatever you want to do with it. Downloading speed is not bad to Israel: 200-400K per second. They have this 'sale' that you can upgrade either the RAM of your machine (I upgraded from 512MB to 1GB RAM), or double the disk capacity or the bandwidth limit for free.

I'm contemplating hosting some sort of an "appliance" on this server which should be automatically-rebuildable, nothing that can't be replaced. Anyway, it sounds from your reply (and lack of other replies) like there is no such a thing as "Israeli VPS provider". --Amos = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, > Is there any provider of VPS (Virtual Private Servers) based in Israel > (with Israeli-allocated IP's)? Make sure that whatever Israeli VPS provider is a really stable and is in the market for few years! I had to learn that the hard way: Someone at Bezeq int. recommended me a small company called "spine" to host my videos that I post on my blog. Everything worked pretty well (although their price was pretty high). Few months have passed and then I got an email from someone who read my blog and said that the videos are not playable. I tried to check for myself.. nope, not playable at all, so I tried to SSH the machine. no ssh. tried to call the spine guy, no answer. Just like that, all the videos and code that I hosted disappeared without giving me any notification or anything.

The one above has all the marks of being based in Arizona or Florida.

Re: OT:cheap and reliable web hosting anyone ?
Hi Erez, If it's only few static pages and reliable, then you can use Google page (http://pages.google.com). If you have a domain, you can use zoneedit.com to use webforwarding to those pages. hetz On 5/28/08, Erez D <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi > > i want to put up a minimal website > the web is very simple, mostly a few static pages > there should not be too much trafic, nor space taken > > however, i want it to respond fast to the small traffic it gets > and to leave security and backup issues to the hosting site > (so i do not put it on my pc) > it should of-course be reliable > > does anyone know a hosting service that matches this ? > the cheaper the better ;-) > as long as it is reliable ... > > > > cheers > erez. > -- Skepticism is the lazy person's default position. my blog (hebrew): http://benhamo.org = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If your stuff is static, it is enough to backup it just once. But it must be backed up nevertheless. --- Omer = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
OT:cheap and reliable web hosting anyone ?
hi i want to put up a minimal website the web is very simple, mostly a few static pages there should not be too much trafic, nor space taken however, i want it to respond fast to the small traffic it gets and to leave security and backup issues to the hosting site (so i do not put it on my pc) it should of-course be reliable does anyone know a hosting service that matches this ? the cheaper the better ;-) as long as it is reliable ... cheers erez.
