When I ran out of space and bandwidth at my last host, I went host shopping and it was a pretty challenging because not only did I need a lot of space and a lot of bandwidth, but I wanted a great price, high quality support, and... I even wanted a host that would accept my UBB.classic. No easy task. I basically made a list of my requirements and my price limit, posted it at WebHostingTalk.com forums, and evaluated the responses. The XEOS plan actually provided more than I had asked for. Long story short, I've been with them for several weeks now, and am extremely pleased. Support has been great.

This is the deal I got...

As I said, provided you pay yearly, this is a nice $20 per month, $240 per year.

Please contact [email protected] for more details, as this is a custom package, and is a realistic offer you'll not come across too often.

I'm currently hosted by xeosdd and am NOT happy. From late january to now, my site has been hit with ALOT of unexpected delays. Meaning that i would never know when it was offline. When it goes offline, it can go for 2 days sometimes. (I use about 15 GB of my 30 GB limit usually) Since my site is in sql i bearly use any resources.

The story from their messages is that some user on the shared host is using this java client or something that is sucking the resources, making the rest of the hostees go down. They promised it would be over in mid febuary. Still it happens. If they are going to continue letting users affect the rest of us, argh...

Although they are promising to give users march free, this continued downtime is unacceptable.

When it goes down for more than a day just about every week, does that mean 17.52 hours downtime daily instead of monthly or yearly?

Nice on the bandwidth, but the space is nothing too special. With the majority of hosts out there, HostNuke as my example, give you more space than that...

For example, HostNuke , for $19.95, will give you 700MB of space with all of the features that you have listed above. It'd be quite simple to "haggle" extra bandwidth. As your deal showed it just looks like they gave you more bandwidth for less space...

With HostNuke I've been using them or about 18 months now, I've not had any problems with them. They run every feature I would want plus they have support for SyBase. I was down for like 20 minutes once which was the longest downtime I've ever had.

With my plan I have unlimited users, although I only have 4 added wink ... They also offer Telnet (not on the machine I'm on however since its an un needed risk to be running a telnet daemon when one has SSH access).

You can see my quotes here .

I wish Hostboard would fit in to one of these plans. I exceed almost every plan I see in one way or another and if there is a plan the price is through the roof.

Their Enterprise VPS looks like the ticket. Will have to talk to them and see if they will work with me in keeping my entire structure intact as well as software.

Even though CC recommended them which means alot has anyone else delt with them?

Thanx CC smile

yes sorry for the confusion wink

VPS are usually a nice solution since you are more free to run big resource using apps (UBB) now I know you have a set limit that can be upgraded so you should check with them if the available solutions are powerfull enough.
