Well, This is my short review again. This time I will review DMEHosting, First month it was run smoothly until  I decide to moving all my sites into DMEHosting, the problem coming next month after I pay my billing for 3 months (usually I billed per month to make sure they give me the best service as they promise in their promotion). DMEHosting started complaint to me ,they say I used to much CPU resource on their budget VPS (this package sucks) and I decide to change apache into lighttpd. Neither the problem was not done yet they keep contact me and said I used to much resource I contact them back and asking to them are this VPS not isolated to affected their other client.

Their answer is really make me recommended to all of you to don’t ever try to use DMEHosting service. How can this VPS not isolated to other? this mean it’s not VPS but only shared. I complain back and they sorry for can’t isolated my account to affect the other. This is maybe the stupid company ever I faced, how they can claim it was VPS if it not isolated, True?

I know this might only their billing strategy to make me upgrade my package, and right they offer me cheap dedicated server but I’m really not interesting. Why? All of my sites only a small sites and not grown really bigger so I’m not really need this dedicated server, hostmonster can handle all my sites  and sure I recommended to all of you to used hostmonster. I decide to leave DMEHosting and let people know my experience with them.

This problem make me lost traffic. This all you must know don’t ever have downtime for your website/blog or you will lose traffic and maybe index. This happen to me but I hope it will fixed soon because my sites are back and running again if not I will contact google. Take a look on this traffic data from one fo my site’s…

You can see in this data I lost around 60-70% traffic affected by this downtime from DMEHosting (around 12 hours) This issue should be and option for you before you choose an hosting company go for hostmonster/hostgator I guarantee you will sattisfied with their hosting service, other? try at your own risk!

Have a good day everyone :)

Choosing your web server programs might needed when you need to use maximum resource on your server. This happen to me around 2-4 days ago when there is contact from abuse department hosting about my vps reached it’s maximum specification. I frustrated because they gonna kick me out or they might charge me more if I can’t lower usage resource. After looking at the problem I was found out there is someone using (maybe bug) to use my server as spam email, I deleted that email account, the spam gone and memory going down a little, but the vps resource usage keep high and started annoyed me.

After looking more deeply at the problem this is actually caused by apache webserver, it’s takes to much memory resource and once people remote it I used to many resource, BAM! all my sites down. Thanks god finally I found the solution for this problem. I convert my Apache into Lighttpd to lower the memory usage, you bet… it working like a flash! :D

It’s very simple to convert from Apache to Lighttpd you can done it in just minutes just follow the installation document, the problem you guy’s will faced is only one, rewrite rules because it totally different with apache. This is might be the hardest part of this installation but once you pass it you will love lighttpd more than apache! don’t you? look at this images you will love it!

What you need to know about lighttpd rewrite rules? it’s simple look at this:

url.rewrite-once = ( “<regex>” => “<relative-uri>” )

OR

url.rewrite-repeat = ( “<regex>” => “<relative-uri>” )

Just write this rules on your configuration files, for more clearly documentation you can read it from here. Lighttpd standard configuration are faster than apache (already test it), anyway if you like to tune up/optimize it for better result you can look the documentation in here. Just follow it, I didn’t try it yet because I like the standard configuration but maybe next time when needed.

Good Score:

  • Faster.
  • Clean.
  • Low resource consumption.

Bad Score:

  • Hard to follow rewrite rules.
  • To much manual configuration.

I’m not try google sitemap generator beta yet, but I’m sure will be there no problem at all. Go try lighttpd if you want to make your website/blog faster. Have a nice day :)

5 days ago I ordered 3 years hosting from justhost.com after reading people review in some top 10 shared web hosting review and experienced it myself here is my short review about JustHost… really short :D

JustHost VS HostMonster

Price shows the quality?? not really… both offer mostly unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth and service, but you have to know.. HostMonster have better CPU and management. JustHost can’t handle this blog traffic, in just 2 days they email me and warned this blog take to much resource and overloading on their server, HostMonster run this blog around 10 month and they never complain *lol* how they can host my another bigger site… I request refund today he he he…

Costumer support are average, HostMonster and JustHost CS reply in average around 30 minutes. How about price? hmm.. After calculating it again… actually HostMonster are better in price but mostly people don’t know what the catch from cheap hosting. To much upgrade needed in JustHost and when you calculate it in total HostMonster cheaper than JustHost.

CPU Score : 7 JustHost – 9 HostMonster

Price Score : 7.5 JustHost – 8 HostMonster

Costumer Support : 8 JustHost – 8 HostMonster

The winner is HostMonster, try it yourself !!

If you only have small sites with low traffic JustHost actually the best options for now, using this coupon code when you order 50OFF you will get 50% discount in 2-3 years payment terms (around $2.95 or $2.50 monthly), remember only small websites can run on there if you’re have bigger sites go used hostmonster or hostgator (someday I will review this gator) if they can’t handle you then going for VPS/Dedicated, many VPS this day offer good service with low price, I wouldn’t tell you but I already know some he he.. Of course it’s cheap because it’s unmanaged but if you know to manage it then why not going for VPS!?!?

I’m sick of this days shared hosting restriction *lol*
