if you want to form blacklist, pls include versatilenetworks, simply the who's who in the hall of shame.

i've actually used about 10-15 hosting throughout these years. another bad one is probably jv-hosting.net (but not a malaysian hosting)

thus far, serverfreak is the most reliable. the worse downtime i experienced was with jv-hosting (24 hrs), versatilenetwork (20 hrs), qualityhosting (16 hrs) and pixcle.com (14 hrs). various reasons like server overload by AWstats, or "network card needed to be replaced"

ermm, how come mogutou is cheaper lor? serverfreak offers 500MB, 10GB bandwidth for RM60 per year. mogutou's 500MB, 10GB is RM90/yr.

Hi all.

Just wanna share my experience so far. I have just came onto the world of internet and registered my sites in 2 different servers. I have 4 sites by the way. one is in mogutou, the other 3 is in giz technology.

Here are 2 screenshots of the time taken to connect by ftp to the respective servers from the initial "connecting to.. " until "directory listing successful".

famouschris.com is hosted in mogutou, losu.org is hosted in giz.

Here's the difference.

19 seconds - famouschris
1 second - losu

Of course I can still upload and download and navigate through the directories in famouschris, but it will take more time. I was hoping the slowness is a fixable problem so that i may increase productivity.

I would seriously recommend Giz Tech. The website might look a bit funny but my experience with Giz has been spectacular. Customer support is just great.

For your information, the reason why there is a major difference in the connecting speed is because famouschris.com is on a US server:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

While losu.org is on a SG server:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

It is best for you to inform the hosting provider upon signing up about your web site's targetted audience. If you are expecting lots of international visitors, a US server is the best. Else, go for regional servers like SG or MY servers.

Thus, you can't really compare Mogo & Giz by the speed test, as you're comparing apples to oranges now.

Thanks.

His own I guess. He advertised his "services" here,just look back at the posts,his was cheap at rm25. I was interested.

He said he'd let me use a test account for 2 days. I'd have no control or ftp, only that I can download a file or something to test its speed/bandwidth.
Yea so okay, I waited,and waited and waited...he went offline. So like the next week,he came back on, I asked him if remembers anything? He said something like "I dont deal with you". So okay, I ignored him after that lol...
Then yesterday came this msg xD So here we are.

Well, not to provoke quarrel, but the guy added me to his MSN last year and tried to sell his hosting services to me. Funny that he is trying to advertise his services to a hosting company, and I wasn't really treated in the politely manner when I declined to take up his offer.

I also same the same thing that happen to Michael. He added me last year, and it seems he wanted to buy hosting from me. Then he request to help in to install forum. I said you subscribe first, then he scolded me "stupid" and "idiot".

Anyone heard of Reseller Zoom. It is a very reliable hosting site with a lot of good feedbacks. You can check their Uptime Record by a third party site. Reseller Zoom Reviews.com. The review site is owned by themselves but the reviews are linked from WebHosting Talk.com. One more, Hosting Zoom is the parent company for Reseller Zoom.

What I wanted is a cheap, reliable host. However, most of the hosts out there charge out of my budget. I bumped into this reseller site and and if I buy a reseller pack, which is quite cheap and SHARE it with others, all of us can get a cheap and reliable host.

Space/BW/Price
I aim for Budget Reseller Plan One which gives 4 GB space, 60GB bw and only costs USD 6.95 per month. If there's 2 person willing to host with me, 3 of us can get around 1333 MB (1GB+) and 20GB of bw at around RM8 per month. You can go to the site and check for yourself, I don't earn anything.

You can customise the space & bw you need if you need more/less.

There's a overselling feature but I will not oversell. I will let you know how many people are sharing the host. I don't think we will host more than 3-4 persons, but it depends on the space/bw they need.

Feautures
You can check the features here. I am going for the cheapest budget plan.

Payment
You can bank in to my Ambank/ Public Bank account and I will bank in to the host via Paypal.

Can I trust you?
I don't think I can gain enough trust from you now because I seldom do trade here. You can tell me what you need and I will register first and set up the account for you then, you can pay me. Please be serious and don't tell me you don't need the account after I registered.

I am hosting my site and forum too, so worry not, I will not disappear suddenly.

PM me if you have and inquiries. Serious and interested people only.

Hi,
To find out more information about ResellerZoom, you can check out:
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php?searchid=1986634

In my opinion, they are reliable, but only limited to the Failover Plan. I've a friend who is hosting under them, and he moved on to the Failover from Budget because the Budget servers are highly crowded and not really reliable.

Thanks and hope that helps!
