Hosting

My hosting experience. I like to try out new hosting company and experience different host. I used different kind of hosting before like share hosting, vps, dedicated server and cloud service. I use to resell hosting to some of the friend but stop after 6 month , when the business start making some profit, because i feel that what i have put in is not really worth the return.

Currently Using

  • Webfaction
  • Webbynode

Planning

  • Slicehost
  • Linode

Server and Web Hosting History

  • Start hosted by WK personal hosting
  • Getting a server from mcpaa.com ( already not longer in biz ) , WK is my server administrator and teach me lots of server skill
  • Due to the performance and i would like to have better speed, i move my server back to singapore, hosted by a guy call Wesley ( yeah i like personal small company)
  • Due to some issue, move to another new host Wee Cheong, Xssist, i get a great server and spending $200 SGD on server when i don’t really have much customer
  • Due to cost issue,downgrade to VPS, still with Wee Cheong
  • Due to some issue again, i move to oversea host and only using reseller account, one of the host that provide good support, A Small Orange
  • Quiting from hosting industry
  • Due to speed & performance issue, i move out from A Small Orange and start to try out different host, include some special share hosting & vps.
  • Using Media Temple as backup storage for few month, going to stop wasting like that.
