[McGrath DFS]

Hi guys,


I am looking for a good php/mysql/nuke host.


Requires to fast, dependable, great tech support (phone and website) Nuke compatiable and allows me good control.

Enough bandwidth/storage to support a site such as yours.

Not looking for cheap or free but I want quailty for the dollar

That post was for the DFHQ staff.

Thats why it was in that forum.

I needed your advice/experience on how much bandwidth I needed.

You moved it but wouldnt answer it?

Why didnt you answer it?

Hey bud, how much bandwith and what kinda stuff are you looking for?

Good control as in dedicated? Or just a control panel to setup email/subdomains/mysql etc.

Whats your budget?

[McGrath DFS]

Panther thanks for taking the time to reply

How much bandwidth would I need for a site like yours?

30gb a month enough?

I would like to have a resource site simular to yours, tools, maps, fourms, updates ect.

As far as control, Yes I want to be able to have access to MYSQL/PHPMYADMIN, ftp and anonymous ftp, create pop3 e-mail accounts the ability to create subdomains would be nice but not required. Determine which file is my default document and not just index or default

Budget is what it takes to do it right with out over buying what is needed for a good fast dependable host.

My current site(s) I have been hosting here at home on cable but http://dfseals.com which is our squads site is getting busy over a 1000 hits aday and hogging the bandwidth we need for game hosting lol.

I hooked up on a deal I am trying out for 30 days (paid a year in advance) it offers;

PHP, MYSQL/PHPMYADMIN (3db), 30gb bandwidth, 500mb storage, 300 e-mails, SSL, shopping carts , stats ect.

So far they have been very professional and prompt.

You guys have one of the most professional DF sites out there and that is why I am interested in your opinon.


THanks again bro

This site uses about 150 to 200 gigs of bandwith / month and about 2 gigs of space. But that also includes squad forums and the popularity of the site. I would say start small, 500 megs with 30gb of bandwith is a great place to start. You can always upgrade when needed.

If you have found a host with a good price and they offer what you need + the support then give them a try. And always try to go for the host that offers a money back quarrentee. Otherwise you could end up paying for some bullcrap host for a few months.

Here are some hosts:

www.eryxma.com
www.liquidweb.com
www.hostrocket.com

Our current host is www.rackshack.net . Completly unmanaged so they don't offer any support.

Cause thats not my area of expertise. Sorry, I didn't want to tell you wrong facts. I don't know how much bandwidth we use or anything lol. Thats Panthers job.

What is a 'quarrentee' ?

[McGrath DFS]

Just a typo bro. Should have been "guarentee" or however it is spelled.
