Elitehosts - Review 3 months




Posted by redihot.com, 12-20-2005, 12:52 PM
Dear Wht's, Elitehosts have been great over the past 3 months since I made the move. I have had very little down time, monitored by siteuptime since november, 99.893% uptime, although it is only checked every 30 minutes. The server load has actually lowered since I have joined, now only 0.29, across two pentium 4 2.8ghz cpus, the memory load is good, now 44.9%. When I have any small problems or items that I cannot fix myself or do when contacting elitehosts they have been very fast in response and useful. Small requests are sorted fast, like my custom dns pages and setting up my site builder system. If you are looking for a reseller I advise you go with elite hosts, they are great, and very friendly. Hope that Helps you all. Redihot.com

Great review. What was the server load when you joined them? Roman

When I first joined elitehosts I commented on thier low cpu usuage, quoting 0.58 as their current level, this has been significatly reduced.

Hi, Just to comment on the slightly lower than normal uptime, the server that this customer is on had 2 very high usage customers on it which were causing sporadic times when accesses to websites would time out. We identified those customers and removed them from the server around a week+ ago. Regards,

Good review. Always nice to hear something good about a host instead of all the bad we normally hear.

What bad? I noticed the free IPOD, that is definitely a good way to promote your services. Great review, sounds like this hosting company is onto something!

yeah, freebies like Ipod definetly sounds a good way to promote your services at the starting of the year. Btw Nice review redihot.com, hope you stay long with them.

The memory usage in cPanel is not a very accurate statisitic to use. CPanel combines the physical memory with the swap partition to come up with a percent usage.

It should also be noted that high memory usage on a server is not a bad thing - Linux uses the RAM memory to cache slower harddrive data and databases etc and therefore a system running for a long period of time will easily have its memory full because it is efficiently caching information.

MaB- when you removed those trouble makers (or so i assume), were they abusing the system? If they didn't use their a lotted space, bw- what other reasons would you use to remove them? Were they removed permanently or to another server? Just curious...

Well, I can't speak to the specifics due to privacy concerns, but we'd never terminate an account for using more space than allowed. We'd only remove an account if: 1) They violated our TOS/AUP (ie sending spam, hacking, etc) in which case we terminate the accounts right away 2) Their account was using so many system resources that it was causing a disruption of service to other customers on the server or that it was causing the system load to raise more than 1 or 2 (which is not fair for a $19.95/month account). In this case, depending on how severely it is affecting other customers, the account owner is giving some time to move their account to a more dedicated environment I hope that the above answers your question.

Thankx, it did. I just didn't want to see that you removed someone's account without giving them choices ie. move to another provider etc...
