How it Works

If your web site, databases, email, FTP, SSH or webmail is unusable as a result of a failure in our systems and for reasons other than previously announced scheduled maintenance, coding or configuration errors on your part, we’ll credit your next invoice with 1 day hosting free for each 1 hour (or fraction thereof) of service interruption; up to 10% of your next pre-paid hosting renewal fee. We begin assessing credit from the time you open a support ticket to report the problem. That’s all there is to it – no arguments, no hassle, no pages of fine print – DreamHost’s 100% Uptime Guarantee – it just doesn’t get any better than that! So… sign up today!

Another possibility is RackSpace, another more reputable host. Even Amazon, Facebook Twitter and Gmail do not promise 100% uptime/availability. At most 99.99%. It's just the way it is. Maybe can moderate your expectation a little.

Not came across any systems in the world offers 100% uptime. Not even HP NonStop or Stratus FT

Well the way I read the 100% guaranteed, it should be interpreted as 0% + 10% refund. So i say it's a good win-win huh

But you are right, a reasonable expectation is what it really matters. Want really good uptime, invest in BCP. Nothing else matters.

Yah. I just quoted DreamHost word-for-word since that's what it promises, but whether it can deliver on its promise I do not know. It's common for tech vendors to be big cannon fairies and over-promise and under-deliver anyway.

It is for his company, a fairly large law firm. Simply to put, if any disaster happen, they just want to find some one to account for or to sue them.

In that case you should go for bigger companies like internap. But it will not be cheap.

Smaller firms the most will waive or refund you only. Should be in the terms and agreement upfront.

It's getting harder and harder to survive in this sector.

Hi all,

yeah no time to maintain for me. I'm thinking of letting go my webservers and rackspace at low cost, if anyone is keen...

Hello everyone.

Would like to find out if there is any cheap (and hopefully reliable) domain registrar to recommend? I have been using Vodien for the past few years but I find S$20 is a little bit high for a domain name since godaddy is offering S$2.53 for the first year for transfer domains. Are there any other registrars or should I just go with godaddy?

I am not sure if this is the place to ask but I couldn't find another thread talking about domains.

local web hosts vs US hosts

Hi experts

I am starting a Singapore website. I already have an account with a US web host which has been satisfying so far with the level of service. Now my question is, should i continue with this US host or choose a local host such as Vodien? Their SLA are similar but I note that local hosts are more expensive. There must be a catch which i am not getting. Are local hosts better for local websites in terms of SEO or speed?

Thanks!

Add in CDN. No difference between Singapore and US host.

SLA, cheap and good and hosting

I have been reading with interest about SLA, cheap and good and local vs oversea hosting

SLA/Cheap and good
please lah, so what if it is 99.999 or 99.9? What in terms of SLA are you looking for? You pay for what you get. Even Ebay website crash. If your url is under DDOS attack, no SLA will help you.

In my opinion, ask yourself what do you want your web site to do? determined how long an outage you are willing to forgo.
a. if you url is to an information website, then decide for yourself realistically, how many customers you really lose because of it
b. if your url is for trading, then you cannot have it cheap and good. it is your lifeline. You might want to have two different sites, just in case one go down.
c. 99% of the case, most of the owners of url are there to provide information only. Only 1% are for trade.
d. i read earlier someone mentioned about law firm wanting hosting. LOL, if their objective is to sue hosting company, then their objective is wrong. Alot of things could go wrong
a. DDOS attack
b. submarine cable broken
c. power failure
d. some idiot drove a digger and accidentally cut the power supply into the hosting site.

I have visited a Tier 4 data centre and even they cannot guarantee the above.

Local and overseas hosting
This is easy to answer. Who are your target market. Are they local customers or foreign customers? If it is local customers, then why not used local hosting companies? If you want to host it say in USA, there could be latency issues. Are you happy with that.

you cannot compare Singapore hosting and US based hosting. US companies are huge compared to the Singapore ones.

Hello people,

has everybody tried Singapore Secure Hosting | Web Hosting before? Their plans seem quite reasonable.

Hello people,

has everybody tried Singapore Secure Hosting | Web Hosting before? Their plans seem quite reasonable.

Is this your website? anyone can come up with that kind of hosting company nowadays and the price isn't exactly cheap for shared hosting... in fact it is way over priced.

not to mentioned their support timing:

Monday-Friday: 9am to 6pm
Saturday-Sunday: 10am to 6pm

a proper web hosting company should be available 24/7 and no local phone number to contact.

I should say stay away.
