[NF] Choices in web hosting

I didn’t have to pick out a server configuration, a data plan, a firewall, anti-virus - none of that crap that is just a pain in the ass to keep up with. In fact - I didn’t even have to decide if I wanted to run Windows or Linux — because I can make that decision for each domain I add. I am NOT bullshitting you! I “bought” one server. I created two domains. One runs LAMP and the other runs Windows Server. Really! I can create another domain and run Ruby on Rails. I can run a domain on Windows with MySQL or MSSQL. I can run Linux with Ruby on Rails, or Linux with PHP/MySQL, etc. One box. One price. One login. One thing to manage. Very sweet! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - BTW, Mosso is a Rackspace company. -- Ed Leafe ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

I had a very bad experience with Mosso last year. A web hosting company I'm affiliated with moved dozens of their clients onto Mosso , only to find email service falling apart and little support available. This lasted weeks. Clients who aren't getting their email in a timely manner (like, 48 hours late) can be a very unpleasant crowd to deal wtih. There are a lot of hosting companies that offer pretty slick instant setup. The trick is whether they can maintain those services through the daily challenges of outages, router troubles, DDOSes and so forth. Every hosting company goes through phases. I hope Mosso's gotten over their growing pains. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

I think they were separate at one point, but they are certainly a part of Rackspace now. > I had a very bad experience with Mosso last year.

I don't know much about the business model of Mosso, but I do know that it does compete in a different space as Rackspace in general, which focuses on customer support for IT outsourced services. Mosso requires a higher level of expertise of its customers than Rackspace, and thus is much less expensive. -- Ed Leafe ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Please keep us updated on how it works out for you, as their feature set was excellent, but they were not (yet) up to the level of service they needed. If it has gone back under the Rackspace fold, it's possible they've resolved those issues, which would be great to hear. We need more high-quality options for hosting! -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
