WEB HOSTING COMPANY TO RECOMMEND!

[localITguy]

any good one to intro?

is my price for 2yr $160 , 2GB with unlimited bandwidth is know as EX?

there is no such thing has unlimited bandwidth or disk space its just to lure you.

never go with SG Hosts, because they chop carrot. unless u rich

go with US Based, much cheaper.

crocweb is not bad, can try

eh... can intro?

I need one long term one
i did not change because i with this guy for more than 10yr.. so just pay for it to be host
but recently i start to look into it as i notice there many more space outside.

well he offer me 5gb for $200 for 2 year.
hw u think?

some tips here, never pre-pay for web hosting especially for 2 yrs plan and there no such thing as unlimited bandwidth... marketing gimmick.

Vodien quite costly...

$10/mt

I used Hostgator for a long time... and I recommended to everyone. Recently they locked my server, saying that I use too much resources - when I obviously did not, and I can't get it back.

I used Bluehost, the basic optimized wordpress plan, and it's still super slow. Their Cpanel logs me out every step of the way. It's constantly down. I highly don't recommend it.

I'm using Vodien now. so far so good. Good luck finding a web host that suits you.

Don't use QOXY

Been with QOXY (qoxy.com) for over a year now. The down time is higher than can be tolerated even for a casual user like me. For business users, please look elsewhere.

Sometimes, the server may be up but the speed is unbearably slow.

been with exabyte.sg, not good experience overall. and they charge much higher renewal fee on your domain name and they make you pay for 2 years renewal instead of allowing choice. I did not even get the domain name from them, merely transfered to them. don't go with them.

Hello experts, just wanna ask if there any recommended host?

Just a wordpress site, with a subdomain for a forum (probably bbPress). Expecting local users.

I just migrated a web site to bluehost. However, i didn't migrate the email cause they scared the downtime will be too much. Anyone have experience what's the expected downtime for migrated from singtel?

Also any chance to retain the singnet email? lol.... i know it's sounds impossible.. but..singtel pricing is damn high.

get your own domain, assign an email hosting, convert your SingNet domain to dial up plan, perform forwarding to your new domain. slowly change your services and after a year or 2, you can opt to terminate your SingNet plan

I gotten the domain.
Re directed the A Addresss

But if I terminate for them the Singnet email will be gone right?

I have used SG Host before and currently using Hostgator.

Support from SG host is quite good, they are very responsive, but their server does get blocked as spam mail if you setup email with them.

Hostgator support can be quite slow, not good if you have a hot issue. Otherwise, everything is OK.

For domain name registration, SG host provides the domain name registration for free with the hosting plan. With Hostgator, I registered my domain name with namecheap.com.

Don't understand what you have written. Who did you buy your new domain name from? Do you have a new email hosting service, who is hosting your email service?

Sory for any erm confusion.

It's actually same domain (ABC.sg). But i did a "A Address" forwarding for the website.

Now i wanna do the email migration but due to their fear of disruption to service. I'm thinking of doing "Split domain routing" such that those on Singnet will continue their usage while new user will send and receive email on Bluehost.

However, i'm insanely confused by the steps of split domain routing. So sorry about it, quite now to this.. Don't really have any experience for this "split domain"

 

[davidktw]

hhaha sorry.. i wasn't thinking this morning..let me repharse ah.


Currently let say my friend company is ABC and they are on...Singnet with

1 website (abc.sg) - Singnet (moved to bluehost)
1 Singnet email (singnet.sg) - singnet
3 ABC email. (abc.sg) - singnet

I did a "A address forwarding" to bluehost so i can do wordpress hosting.

Domain is still under singnet's name. If i migrate the domain/ email hosting over to bluehost, they scared the disruption will cause them to miss some business email. And i' not really sure how long is the disruption since i never migrated for Singnet. What's the estimated disruption ah?

I believe when you mention SingNet hosting, this is a commercial service, not referring to the consumer service.

Website access is via A record, Mail access is via MX record.

From the description above, your website is using bluehost, but both your singnet.sg and abc.sg domains email services are using SingNet email services. You will need to dump your emails from one account to another account. There could be some emails coming in while doing so, but that should be just a small number which can be manually copy over using an email client. You will then need to setup a forwarding rule in your singnet.sg email account to copy all all incoming mails to abs.sg email account.

Then for a year or 2, retain the singnet.sg email account until all your services or clients are aware of the new abc.sg email address.

Hmm i guess i will do a subdomain first.

I informed singtel to update their MX record to mail.admin.abc.com.sg they tell me cannot lol.

I only need to inform singtel right, do i need to do anything on my side? Bluehost say don't need but wanna double confirm

Any good sg webhost to recommend?

Currently on Hostgator but (1) emails to Yahoo get blocked and support doesn't care, (2) poor load-balancing during certain hours of the day, (3) claimed I was using 'excessive resources' when I was just editing a fresh clean Wordpress installation with zero visitors.

Wanted to go with Hostwithlove but unfortunately they stopped offering sg hosting. Currently looking at SkyNetHosting, Siteground, Vodien and Exabytes.

Need a webhost that doesn't try to pull the 'resources' crap to force you to upgrade.
