Cloudflare is not a new service however I thought it about time I did a review. A free package is offered so it can be used for any website you have. So what does it do and what are the benefits?

Well the first thing is that it put's your site into a CDN (Content Delivery Network). This means that your static files such as CSS, images and the like will be cached on servers within the CDN a ...

Since we started a common question is where we get the money from to run the service, why do we bother and how long will it last? Well time to do an article I have been in hosting for a lot of years, more than 10 in total. Our site and old domain was my first ever venture into hosting, it seemed that if I could offer it for free and everyone appeared happy then charging for it would be easy.

No we do not offer unlimited hosting, but many ask us why not. Is it really that hard to understand that it does not exist? Unlimited simply by it's definition means never ending, infinite even. Every server has 1 or more hard drive, some have more, they all have limits. There are 2 camps that ask for unlimited hosting.

The first is the uneducated hoster who has simply seen the term and thinks its the way to go but really does not understand how much space or bandwidth they actually need. The second is the hostile hoster who wants to use your service as a mini megaupload site. Kim Dot Com I am not and never will be, although the money would be a welcome gift.

We have been using it for many years but the time has come to kick it out Nobody is using it and the bottom line is that we are paying money out for something people are telling me they have no interest in by not using it. The annual subscription is due tomorrow and I am not renewing it. As you may have seen we are trialling Trendy Site Builder. Have a look for it in your cPanel and give it a go. This is not available to VPS members, get your own licence, it's only $6 a month. ...

Sometimes I actually wonder where all the trust has gone over the years I have just had an email from one of our customers (Stevo) asking if we have paid for the vbulletin software. Um, yes we have, fee2host does not mean we obtain everything free or nulled oe downloaded from the Pirate Bay. We are above reproach

On a serious note though, we have paid $285 for the publishing suite licence. An extravagant purchase indeed however the long term benefits ...

We have chosen OpenVZ as the package to bring your VPS to life Now OpenVZ does a get a really bad rep out there in the paid world never mind free. Overselling of ram and a complete mis-understadning of Privvmpages (burst ram) mean it does get a hard time. That said most hosts will still use it as its got an extremely low overhead And to be honest it just does the job well.

We have looked at Xen Server however we felt it really did not meet the mark in terms of what we are doing here. ...

After 4 weeks of testing by some of our longest serving members the VPS package is ready to launch. We are throwing in Solusvm with each VPS so that you can install your own OS template from the list of many we currently have on the server.

We have decided to setup raid 0 in the server rather than raid 1, we are not willing as always to take any responsibility for your backups and the vps should be not getting used in the production environment. We are providing this service for educational and learning purposes. If you end up loossing vital data due to a drive failure we cant help, backup, backup, backup.

softaculous has now been installed on our US server and is immediately available for use within cPanel. As mentioned in a previous article we are not yet installing trendy site builder until we see what feedback we get from users on the UK server. From the tests I have carried out it does appear extremely good however whether it warrants us paying for an annual licence remains to be seen. So don't forget to give us some feedback if you use it. ...
