Everyone might have noticed in the past few weeks we’ve been having some nasty outages, as of late we’re still unable to track down what’s causing the actual outages, it could be a server or a co-location issue but we’re unsure which. One thing we’re considering is bringing the server back to the Caribbean so that we can monitor it directly. But considering how much cheaper it is hosting in the US we think we might try a different host first. So that idea got me hunting for reviews of different vps hosts and co-location sites that we might be able to use during our transfer/relocation.
As I know a fare few people that stop by NTN are webmasters I thought it would be a good idea to bring up a nice gem named WebHostingGeeks they basically have a large list of all types of webhosts and they have done some pretty good reviews to cover all the necessary bases to make it easy to make a informed decision. In the past I’ve been to several review sites but it seems to be difficult to find sites that review windows based solutions as if we do decide to bring it back to the Caribbean it’s gonna take 4-5 days to get here and setup so we can’t have all of our sites offline and a solid VPS would be great as a stopgap during the transfer while we fine tune the server.
A site like WebHostingGeeks is pretty helpful especially since ever webhost says their the best and have 0 downtime etc etc, which is all pretty much bull it’s nice to get a roundup from a third party. Even if your just looking for a host that will be a bit more environmentally friendly I mean they’ve even got a list of green web hosting companies.
Take this post in 2 ways, 1 that we’re planning a big move to improve stability as well as a tip for your hosting needs.
