-------------------------

Most servers are a minimum of P4 2.4 GHz with 512MB RAM running Red Hat 8.0 located at the Burst/Nocster datacenter.

If you would like to test server speed, here are 3 test files hosted on my ThrillHost.com account:
Rebate! Rebate!

coppermine-1.1.0.zip pichosting software (see what it looks like here)
mac_ox_x.zip coppermine Mac OS X theme (as seen here)

I have been with ThrillHost for almost 2 months and so far I have nothing but praise for them. Server speeds are always fast, uptime has been great, support has been responsive and best of all their prices cannot be beat.

Please don't take my word for it though, you should always research a web host before signing up. I would recommend searching the WebHostingTalk.com forums for ThrillHost ThrillHost.com or posts by Matt

Here are some other web hosts I posted towards the end of this thread

That server is hosted by Idologic.com which hosts my local web hosting venture and personal web sites. Basically anything critical I only trust on Idologic's servers.

I went with them because of their fast servers, nightly back ups, data center (Global Compass in Atlanta, Georgia), SSH access, cPanel bluetrix and best of all fanatical 24/7 tech support.

ThrillHost.com is a true bargain, I paid $10/mo for 3GB/30GB resellers account. They will host HostForFree.net which will offer free web hosting to AT'ers starting 10/1 which will also host fox302.com pichosting.

If you want THE BEST of everything ... look no further than clook.net, just take a look at their:

• Server Specs (Dual Intel XEON, 1GB DDR RAM, 73GB SCSI 10k RPM with 80GB IDE backup)
• Uptime/Load stats
• Network Info
• Their knowledge base, forums and 24/7 tech support

Disclaimer: I do not work for or have financial gain in ANY of the web hosts listed above, the only web host I work for is HostForFree.net which is under development.

Determine that for yourself. There is no perfect for everyone since each has something unique to offer.

Sign up and give it a try. You have nothing to lose since they have a 30 day money back guarantee.

i got in on this one thanks to RossMAN... he's really one of a kind. Thanks man!

 

[iwearnosox]

How are these guys compared to dathorn?

I'm weary. I want to believe... I guess I'll plunk $10 down and check it out.

Make sure you try to check your local download speeds with each provider. I made the switch from two of the major ones. One has a 70 kb/s thoroughput, while the other has about 4-5 times that amount. My friends report the same results and we live in a range of ~225 miles apart from each other (So. Cal).

Sounds like junk bandwidth to me, which I guess is required given these prices. Would be nice to know about peering arrangements, etc, of the various low priced providers.

I signed up with them during the last sale, and have been quite happy. There was a problem over the weekend (root partition filled up) that was fixed within a couple of hours. In addition, the speed has been much, much faster than my Dixiesys account was. Of course I'm leery due to the price, but if the need should arise, I'll just find another provider and move on. For my needs, it's a very minor inconvenience.

dathorn.com is more established and costs a little more. You really can't go wrong with either. BTW dathorn is now accepting new customers.

Thanks for the post. bump since deal ends today.

Not really junk bandwidth. I think they are in the same datacenter. I guess it has to do with your network connection, where you are, what hops it takes etc. I tried it from work (corporate LAN, not same as Cox Cable, I assume), and it was the same. Over 700k for Dathorn and 100k for the host I switched to. That's huge!

 

[Gnurb]

I'm currently at dathorn, and I'm going to sign up with thrillhost instead. recently dathorn disabled the use of the mailman mailing list, and i've been on their #23 server which was down for about a week due to ddos attacks.

Thanks rossman!

 

[kermalou]

switching from dathorn also.....

 

[kermalou]

now, anybody here actually using them?

 

[dquan97]

I'm staying with dathorn...no problems with them so far.

You're welcome and I hope it flys well also.

Just to be on the safe side, I would send an email to sales@thrillhost.com and cc: support@thrillhost.com

A snapshot of the machine I'm on for those of you interested. It's about the same as dathorn. Poor choice for a server hard drive, imho.

Yes, I've planted my demon scripts and am currently wading through your directories. What's with all the porn?

 

[Rat007]

just saw this on there page:

Update!:
9/22/2003, 3 PM CT: Due to the larger than projected response to our cPanel Reseller offer, we are temporarily delaying additional orders until we bring additional servers online. If you have already placed your order, your account will be setup. We are not willing to compromise the stability and performance of our servers by overloading them.

We will update this page as soon as everything is in place to continue this offer. If you would like to be placed on a "waiting" list to be notified as soon as this special sale resumes, please send an email to special@thrillhost.com and reference this special.

Thanks

Haha like I'd store pr0n on a web server

Hopefully in the next few weeks it will be full of a few gigs of pics from Entity's pichosting site (which is offline indefinitely).

 

[iwearnosox]

Actually let me do some simple math here- with 45gb available (on this box at least) that would break down to 15 accounts maximum per box. Not that they couldn't add another drive if they wanted to load up on accounts.

Anyhoo here's a snapshot of my dathorn server for comparison. Note the significantly higher memory, a big plus:
