HowBits Website Slow Down - Fixed

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

After the last few days of howbits being slow, I finally decided to move the website completely off of Hostmonster and host the entire website on HostGator. I have been putting the move off because of time and a hopefulness that Hostmonster improves.

When loading up a website, anything over 5 seconds loading time is not acceptable, let alone a loading time over 10 to 20 seconds. So it was time to switch to a faster web host that has better stability.

On Wednesday night from 7pm to 4am, I was moving the website to Hostgator and testing to make sure there were no problems. Now with howbits on a new host, the website is much more responsive and loads up quicker then ever.

If anyone experiences any problems, please let me know.

MMhosting - HostGator - Hostmonster Short Review

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

After 18 months of using three web hosts I have decided to write short reviews about each one. This is not meant to be a long drawn out review and does not include every detail of the web hosting service, such as a list of features or exact connection speeds.

These are the three web hosts I use extensively..

MMhosting.com
Hostgator.com
Hostmonster.com

*A special note about Virtual Web hosting - Your Primary domain name that you use when setting up your account is the only domain that can have a Private SSL Certificate. The addon domains will need to use a Shared SSL Certificate.

So if you plan on hosting an e-commerce website, make it the primary domain. Mmhosting and Hostgator can move domains from addon to primary if needed, but once moved, your websites with an Absolute path will break until you update them with the new Absolute path.

Review Time

I would like to start this article with the 2 best web host in my opinion. Hostgator and MMhosting, they have been awesome web host. From customer support to server reliability and speed. Both companies have been great to work with, and I have no problems with websites going down as a result of the web host. (The one time my websites went down, was my own doing. I crashed my own databases.) (more…)
