    www.xeran.com

    http://www.xeran.com looks like the best site I have ever seen for good hosting

    PHP
    MySQL
    Perl
    Unlimited Pop Email Boxes
    Unlimited bandwidth
    300mb space
    C++ < unlisted feature
    mailing list <unlisted feature
    custom 404 pages <unlisted
    web based shell accnt <unlisted

    etc etc
    go here for details



    Ok, the commercial is over,
    I have heard some bad stories about this place,
    the support is great(talked to them), etc. but I heard that they are really slow.
    they say they have a direct connection to dual OC48's, and that should be frigin fast!!
    but I have talked to 2 people, one personally hosted there, and the other has created websites that were hosted there, they both said it was slow...

    do you have any info on this place?
    Thanks,
    Dennis

        Looking at their site, it appears as if by "Unlimited Bandwidth", they really mean "un-monitored bandwidth". In other words, they won't track your domain's bandwidth usage until you start using too much of it; then they "will make recommendations for other packages that suit your needs in order to avoid interruption".

        Surfing around their site it also seemed pretty slow.

              Wow thanks!!!


              although $35 was a little more than I wished to spend, but that that is a VERY good deal for $35 a month, I think I might just have to go with that!!


              Thanks A LOT!!

                FORGET Xeran

                1. Too slow, yes, that's strange with uunet,
                but reality is reality. I think they have
                overcrowded 400mhz servers, probably
                that's one of the reasons for slow sites

                2. OC48? haha, what a lie

                3. Huge amount of downtime and they
                happily accept it, I was hosted there and
                one day I received an e-mail from a tech
                saying "sorry, your server has been down
                for 7 hours - kernel panic, we are sorry.
                Have a good day" ------- no comments.

                4. They don't provide mailing lists
                5. They don't provide Telnet/shell access
                6. They don't provide PHP4
                7. They don't provide subdomains
                (well, yes, they provide them, $19 each!
                and when you sign-up, 0 free subdomains!)
                8. xeran control panel sux like hell
                9. web-based shell? haha, that's not true
                (I was hosted there)
                10. tech support replies are SLOOOOOOOOOW
                (8+ hours)

                I don't like to trash other people but
                those xeran guys are sleeping all day and
                need a big horn to wake up.

                  well, they said they supported PHP4.... if that is not true, wouldn't that be false advertising?

                    Well, I think you should check out http://www.ultraspeedusa.com/ - you get 100Mb space, 8Gb bandwidth, PHP4.03pl1 and Zend Optimizer, 10 subdomains etc, for $16.95 a month... Excellent host - use it myself. Fast, and good support...

                    Another one to check out is http://www.hostrocket.com - you get 200 Mb, 10 Gb bandwidth, unlimited POP3, subdomains etc, for $9.95 a month !!! And it is not your average cheap hosting - these guys are good...

                        That is just too cheap. I *bet* that if you use anywhere near 55gb bandwidth, they will kick you off. I have heard of many hosting companys that have done this. They offer the extra bandwidth on the basis that they think you won't use all of it. (So you need to be careful with hosts like that. You ALWAYS get what you pay for at the end of the day)

                          That is always the case, pay peanuts and get monkies. For anyone in the UK, I'd recommend www.positive-internet.com, they're a tad more expensive than other people, but the service, speed and uptime is second to none.
