multi-platform hosting...anyone?




Posted by scoutnetworker, 02-09-2007, 12:45 PM
Hi there Firstly, may i say hello all! Long time reader, first time writer! Anyway... Was wondering if any of you lovely people out there could help me? I am interested in a multi-platform reseller hosting package, and preferably one you guys would recommend not just a list of who can do it...! I am looking to setup a small hosting project as a sideline to my freelance web development (and university studies, ..Decided to pack in the IT rat race after 10years and go eco-hippie instead... well that last all of 2 years!!!). Anyway as I said i am looking a multi-platform package because i currently have a few websites that need hosting but they need various platforms (windows [asp/.net], Linux[php,cgi] and coldfusion). I also need: Linux AND windows ASP/.NET, PHP and Coldfusion MSSQL/MySQL db hosting Decent amount of HD space (5GB+ for starters) Decent amount of bandwidth (60GB+ for starters) Decent and Reliable 24/7 email AND telephone support, Web based Admin (don't mind which) Min 2 IP addresses SSL Option And would like (but not essential): Media Streaming Sharepoint Custom Component Installation eBilling system Stats package SSL Reseller Think that covers the basics! Any help will be much appreciated! But honest recommendation preferred! Thanks Alan Ps Sorry for the very long (winded) message! :-)

Hi scoutnetworker, welcome to WHT! Any H-Sphere host that does reselling can provide you with what your looking for. You can find a list on PSofts website here: http://www.psoft.net/resellers.php or look around here for H-Sphere resellers. Last edited by anon-e-mouse; 02-09-2007 at 08:14 PM.

Glad to help! I'm sure you'll get some personal reviews shortly. In the mean time you can do a search here for H-Sphere resellers and come up with a few, then research them. Last edited by anon-e-mouse; 02-09-2007 at 08:13 PM.

Any idea of a monthly budget that you'd like to keep under? Your ideal host will vary based on your budget. Last edited by anon-e-mouse; 02-09-2007 at 08:13 PM.

Hi Shaw Networks, To be honest my initial monthly budget to kept under really is $60, but as it grows obviously this will increase! cheers Alan

If you look at your list, and look at the platforms that support it, you can actually do all of what you want on a Windows host. But not the other way around. Go for a bigger host if sharepoint is a big deal for you.

hi plumsauce thank for the reply, will have a think about that! but would still like to hear about multi-platform host. regarding sharepoint - not a major issue, but i have made a few custom sharepoint apps in the past for old clients so was it is something im still want to consider! - know any good "bigger" host with sharepoint offerings? cheers Alan
