As I was saying in a previous blog, on top of my IT job I also run a 2 men webdesign company Bonvoyage Airlines<\/a> . For our hosting needs I have been relying on a british company called Webfusion<\/a> and their reseller account. It is pricey but it is local and allow you to host has many websites has you want for a fixed price, provided you respect the bandwith limit. It would be possible for me to have my own server at work since we have several fixed IP on a leased line and I already host my personnal website on a Win2KPro machine here but the potential cost of hacking attacks or breakdown easily outweight the \u00a355 I pay every month. To put it an other way, if something goes wrong I just send them an email and 2 or 3 hours later it is fixed.<\/p>\n

The idyllic portrait lastest for nearly 3 years but problems started to happen since, I think, Pipex and Webfusion merged. My server now regularly goes down and the email service sometimes doesn’t work. Webfusion has got a support page where you are supposed to read informations about System Status<\/a> but my issues never appeared here which let me think that this page is only the top of the iceberg and is symptomatic of wider issues.<\/p>\n

The marriage has now been consummed and it is time for me to find an other option. With its unified Control Panel, the reseller option is a very nice one and I would like to find a similar hosting account. Registerfly seems to offer one but the interface is dreadfull and they ripped off one of my friend by charging him several times a month for his hosting which he managed to cancel after considering a legal challenge. Don’t tell me about MediaTemple, it is only for Mac people and if you don’t know it yet, I am definitely not one. Arghhhh…. I just checked their website just for the sake of it and it looks like their prices are now very competitive. It is also possible to try them for one month. I might give it a go then . The only small print seems that they charge $15 per domain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
