LugHost hosting -- Service shutting down (page 11)

[YayFun]

I'm seeing the host you have chose has an average download speed of 1MB/s and upload speed of 217kB/s. I also talked to their support, which is really slow. I feel like I'm chatting with AT&T. According to support they give you a burstable 100mbps line, which does not guarantee that speed at all all the time.

I suggest looking into http://www.nfoservers.com/ (one of the best I have used) or https://www.digitalocean.com/ (also a good one if you want cloud). I've been with both of them and never have a problem. If you think you will get attacked a lot like ephis hosting then NFOServers might be your best bet, they won't perma null you. They will null you for 24 hours though if the attack is bigger than their nodes can handle, which I believe is about 20gbps. But in most cases the attacks stop at the node before it reaches your server.

Edit: I should add I get gigabit speeds on NFO and DO.

i guess it's good for some people. personally, i'll probably keep waiting for a more professional service. i hate using consoles to run things.

[0]8 vCPUs. MyHosting does not specify what kind of processor is used. This should not make any tangible difference - odds are the processor is better than the one in your computer.

this is one of the reasons i doubt this. i went on their site and i couldn't find anything related to network speed (probably the main reason why people use blockland hosting services), are there speed specs available?

fetched 106MB in 3s

where are you getting that from

[Lugnut]

Anyone can buy a VPS and setup a filezilla server.  There is literally no need to go through Lugnut to get those things.  This isn't even a 'quick and dirty' service, because that would imply you are offering at least something unique.   Right now it's just buying something and selling it for more without changing it at all.  Such a revolutionary 'service'!

can you do it for $8 a month with enough resources for a blockland server..?

I didn't have any troubles with support, and installing packages on the server just now downloaded at ~27MBps. However, that isn't a perfectly accurate representation. I'll look into that thoroughly.
The biggest problem I ran into when choosing a service was how ridiculously expensive they were for way more resources than I needed. I don't need a 80GB SSD, I need lots of a ram, a great processor, and lots of bandwidth and speed - anything that wasn't a custom plan didn't offer that without a bunch of extra crap. Both of the services you mentioned are undoubtedly great services, but the price-point is very important to consider.

I'll look into those right now.

I'm concerned that's the burstable rate. I'll find a good speedtest with a nice large file to test long term speeds.

27Mbps is a bit below average residential connection (30Mbps if i recall).
why did you pick such a stuffty provider?

[Rub]

wget http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test - always a good one for testing.

[Zeblote]

Just downloading at 50mbps on my residential connection, ooop!

only 38 for me :C

Yes.

Yes.

Do show me where.

I feel like the first test had a bottleneck on the server side. I can't find the post by Badspot where he says how many network resources one client uses.

I'm consistently getting ~30MBps. (except for the 1GB one, but that one started slow and slowly ramped up. I'm not relying on it.)

firstly it's megabytes, so it's 8 times what you're making it out to be, and secondly, 20megabits per second is the high end for residential connections in most of the US... I don't have facts to back that claim up, however.

Yes.

please, do tell

For £6.60 a month I am currently running a VPS which has enough memory and CPU power to run around 4x15 player blockland dedicated servers with the download and upload speed of around 100mb/s.

I'm going to need more specifics than that, it's pretty hard to believe.

I've been using this over the past week or so http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261394024411?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
While it's not amazing it has been working pretty well for my own personal use. I'm actually not using FTP but instead transferring my files via remote desktop connection.
Darren spent a little extra money than I did and was able to get this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261394024937

yeah they aren't the best in the world but if you're using them for hosting yourself they're just fine.

[nerraD]

Also to add onto Danny's note, I downloaded the 100mb file within a second, I would record it but it's too much effort for something so little. The stability of this server is good so far, I am running a website on it which hosts all my images but also I am going to be opening one or two servers which will be my test bed for some upcoming servers I and Danny are possibly going to plan. I don't think that these servers are not affordable, as I who has only just touched a VPS today can easily use it without the knowledge of the huge Google.

Also to add, if you're looking to play with a VPS server, eBay is the best place to buy it from, the deals are really good and I hope that rather than someone making an actual hosting service, creating a control panel thing like McMyAdmin or Multicraft.
