Hello people of ThreadsDev. I'm just posting to inform you that my hosting company is offering a discount of 10% off all hosting packages. We also support UBB.threads.<br /><br />To find out more, you can visit www.vertexhost.com<br /><br />We offer various plans to suit almost any type of website, whether it is a small personal site or a large online business. <br /><br />To receive the discount, when ordering use this coupon code: THREADSDEV<br /><br />If you have any other questions regarding our services don't hesitate to ask or visit the support forums on the site or email our support. Just looking to give a little something back to the ThreadsDev community for all of the great help and hacks <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Admins, if this breaks any rules or isn't allowed please feel free to edit or remove the message. From the people I've talked to I have gathered a small promotion was OK, but if not I completely understand <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Discounts are good. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I like discounts. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

How long is this offer good for?

I think it is still on. We moved longhaircareforum.com to Vertexhost at the beginning of April and we did get the 10% discount. So far we never had any complains neither from the bandwidth nor from the web server response, and I believe that board is one of the busiest ones on the server with 1000 unique visitors and some thousands of page requests per day.<br /><br />Just contact them via email. They responded to mine within 10 minutes or so.

Yes, the discount is always on... as long as I'm a member of threadsdev <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> But please do contact us if you have any questions <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Jeremy, <br />I've got a client looking for a good server for his threads and some deep integrated stuff I'm going to be doing.<br /><br />Are you Unix?

Yep, RedHat 7.3, latest MySQL, etc <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Do they have a dedicated server package?

No advertised dedicated server package, but could work out a custom plan if needed. The dedicated plans won't be advertised until the end of May, but dedicated solutions are always an option for existing clients who need to upgrade, and for special requests.

Jeremy also hosts my site at Vertexhost. Mine however is probably the least server intensive site there is, with about 1-2 visitors a day <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> The customer support is EXCELLENT!

I'm currently with Communitech.NET, and all hell has been going on so far this year. They were bought out by Interland and are currently closing down their NOC in KC and moving everything to Interland in Atlanta. My site is now as sloooooow as mud. Word from the grapvine is that Interland is going down, so I'm looking for a new host. <br /><br />I'm currently FTPing down all of my files and will backup and download my MySQL.<br /><br />I noticed you have webmail access which is a great plus. I have been using Everyone.net and am not happy with having to go through a 3rd party. Would visitors to my website be able to sign-up for and use e-mail accounts? What are the details on that?<br /><br />I will probably be looking at the Executive package. I currently use 189.81MB and have used 0.35GB of bandwidth this month, so you won't have to worry about me hogging it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> In addition to the drumlines.org domain, I also have drumlines.com and drumlines.net pointing to my site. These are defined as "Parked Domains", right? And by addon domains, do these mean I can have 2 other URLs that point to a sub-folder on my site?<br /><br />That's all I have for now. Now sell me on choosing VertexHost! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Parked domains are used for domains that you own to forward someone to another domain. So if someone went to drumlines.net, they would automaticaly forward to drumlines.com. Addon domains, as you said, be a completely different domain or site if you want, and is created as a subfolder within your main account. This domain uses storage/transfer of your main account, but works well if someone needs a small personal site and can't see paying extra to host it.<br /><br />The webmail interface is designed for accessing POP email accounts via the web when you are away, or if you choose not to use a program. You have two webmail options to choose from.<br /><br />Horde - http://www.horde.org/<br />NeoMail - http://neomail.sourceforge.net/<br /><br />These are preinstalled for you. But, they aren't designed to be a mail solution where you can have anyone create new accounts and such, each account has to be created via the control panel. If you are looking for a system like that, I would suggest taking a look at http://www.hivemail.com (I think there is even a hack floating around to integrate it with threads) And for a free version of something similar, you may want to check out squirrelmail.<br /><br />If you have any other questions though just let me know. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

From JoshPet: <br />[]Most shared hosting accounts either don't have access to the mysqldump command, or are in safe mode, or time out.[/] <br /> <br />Since you are UBBThreads friendly, I will have access to everything in MySQL that I will need, correct? I'm asking this so that I know I'll be able to transfer my database without a hitch. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

More specifically the database backup command from the admin menu? I've worked on alot of sites... and most sites it doesn't work. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for chiming in Josh. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Also, I don't have access to cronjobs with my current host. Will I have access to it with you?

I'm asking this so that I know I'll be able to transfer my database without a hitch. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> [/]<br /><br />Correct, I don't run in safe mode, so the threads backup/restore should work fine. If not, you have full access to phpMyAdmin, which gives you complete control over your database and you can backup and import sql files as you need to with that.

Oops, just saw your last reply.<br /><br />Yes, in the control panel you have access to setting up cronjobs, and the interface is very easy to use I might add <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have faith in Jeremy.<br /><br />I think Nikos uses him....

Nikos does, as well as a few others here <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif" alt="" />

Another good thing apart from the cron jobs is that you have a daily backup of your whole site which I take advantage of once a week. Not that the contents will change - the database is what matters... <br /><br />I am working on creating some sort of cron job which will dump the database on a daily basis somewhere and then an automated process on my box at home will FTP and pick the file up (zipped of course).

Well, I signed up with ya earlier this morning. I went with a lower package though. Sorry. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Let's hope for a long and happy business relationship. :crosses fingers: <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

There is nothing to be sorry about <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And you should be happy with your decision as everyone else has been thus far. Looking forward to serving yet another threads user <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well, I signed up at about 3AM eastern time this morning. When should I get my IP and stuff? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The welcome email with your login information and other info was emailed the moment your account was created. It is all automated. But, I see that your primary email is @drumlines.org, which the email is created AFTER the account is, so the email gets dumped on our server since it looks like the domain is already stored locally.<br /><br />I will forward all emails to your secondary address. Sorry about that. I need to rework the script to send the email just before creating the account to eliminate this problem that has come up a few times. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well I still get all my e-mail at drumlines.org until I change my name server entries, but okay. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[]AKD96 said:<br />Well I still get all my e-mail at drumlines.org until I change my name server entries, but okay. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> [/]<br /><br />That is correct.. but at the server level drumlines.org has an entry in the httpd.conf file (among many places) so exim, the mail server first assumes the domain is hosted locally, and just shoots the mail through the internal system. But you should have received your welcome email at your secondary address as well. <br /><br />If you have any further problems please contact []support@vertexhost.com[/]<br /><br />Thanks!

That's groovy. The secondary is my work e-mail, so I'll read it tomorrow. Thanks! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[shameless plug]<br /><br />I've moved everything over to Jeremy's server and my site is WAY faster than what it was before. I had some problems with importing my MySQL tables, which was not their fault, and I was helped through it. Great support already! Kudos to vertexhost.com so far! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />[/shameless plug]

Good to hear! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I have clients ask me to recommend hosts from time to time. Good to know. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Here's what some of my members have been saying: <br /> <br />"Yeah Josh, Rock Out with your Out!" <br /> <br />"WOW! Holy faster site, Batman! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif" alt="" />" <br /> <br />"wooo! its about time, woohoo...no more sql errors (yet) !" <br /> <br />"Dude, this site is fast as crap man. I love it. Good job, Webby!" <br /> <br />Oops, you don't have the spoiler hack installed here. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

"Yeah Josh, Rock Out with your ???? Out!" <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /><br />Where have I heard that before? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /><br />"Dude, this site is fast as crap man."<br />Now there's a corporate slogan for your webpage Jeremy. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><br />

[]JoshPet said:<br />"Dude, this site is fast as crap man."<br />Now there's a corporate slogan for your webpage Jeremy. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><br /> [/]<br /><br />Hahaha<br /><br />I should add that to my testimonials, lol

I'm adding that other one to mine. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /><br />LOL <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

Ah yes. Website visitors say the cutest things. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Here are some more:<br /><br />"well, everyone has already said it, but I know you wont mind the praise...very fast site...great job Josh."<br /><br />"I'm jumpin on the bandwagon ppl! Great job man! It's workin great on these crappy comps I got to work with right now. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />"

Hey AKD96 - <br /><br />I used to have my site Motorsports Lounge on Communitech.NET thru a reseller (BGNRacing.com), along with many of his other sites. But, it really did go to crap when they got bought out.<br /><br />Jeremy - Right now my two threads sites (GL and ML) are on Hosting4Less.com. I have had my probs with them in the past and they arent always available for customer service issues, but it is going good for now. If things start having issues, I will give you a hollar. Right now my threads sites arent trafficked much (about 600 uniques / 10K pageviews daily), but I am working on that, and who knows if my current host can keep up with it.<br /><br /> <br />AKD96 - I might have to sign up at your site sometime. "Stix" has been my nick for about 15 years ... I am a drummer myself ... or should I say was. I do not play anymore, but back in jr and sr high I was in concert band, marching band and pep band. Since then I have had a few kits and just played with friends and such ... nothing pro. Currently I have a Roland V-Custom electric kit, but it is stored. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

"This one time... at band camp...."<br /><br />LOL Sorry I couldn't resist. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

JoshPet: <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Stix: Feel free to join! We'd love to have ya!

This is for us on vertexhost for April<br /><br />Hits per Hour 8,321 (Avg) 21,091 (Max)<br />Hits per Day 199,718 (Avg) 278,567 (Max)<br />Files per Day 86,993 (Avg) 121,280 (Max)<br />Pages per Day 3,110 (Avg) 4,188 (Max)<br />Visits per Day 946 (Avg) 1,125 (Max)<br />KBytes per Day 453,729 (Avg) 638,735 (Max)<br /><br />We are very pleased with the service.<br />

Hey Jeremy (or anybody who could help me <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ), I just had a quick question - <br /> <br />I'm new to the whole purchasing webspace/domain thing; getting REALLY tired of free webhosts. I finally found a domain that I could go with (using vertexhost btw hehe), and I'm looking at purchasing the starter package for now (I don't have my own UBB.threads software yet <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> , just want some space for a personal webspace). I chose to do for a full year @ $6.95/month and the total came to ~$83, but said due on 2004/11/08. Now, I would pay $6.95/month until then, correct? ~$83 is just what it would add up to by next year? Or do I pay in full on this date next year?? <br /> <br />Thanks for the clarification! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It means you pay in full, but if you take a look at the total price of 83.xx it equals 6.95/month (if it was paid monthly). Basically, you just save 12 dollars if you prepay for a full year.<br /><br />12 x 7.95 = 95.40<br />12 x 6.95 = 83.40<br /><br />But to get the discount, the whole year is paid for up front. That's all <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Just a way to break it down so people see the discount for prepaying a year.<br /><br />Hope that helps!

Dokie okie! Thanks! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Jeremy<br />I am looking at going dedicated server or a more advanced package than whats on your front page ad. <br /><br />Can you give me details on pricing for a bigger site 700mg right now and 36 gig of transfer. I know your threads friendly and this interest me since I use fp2003 along with the threads stuff.<br /><br />BTW I like that picture <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey smiles,<br /><br />How tight is your schedule? The reason I ask is because I currently don't have dedicated or semi-dedicated packages quite ready to roll out yet. I'm in the process of a whole billing and ordering system overhaul, and once complete will hopefully have some dedicated servers ready to get rolling.<br /><br />The problem is with the holidays and end of the year wrap-up for buget and tax purposes, I'm guessing they will not be ready until after Jan 1. <br /><br />But, if you need something immediately, I can point you to a few places that can give you some really good prices on servers with awesome support that I have worked with in the past. Just let me know <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

not urgent but would like to weigh my options and share with my members. My host bill basically got doubled after the first of the year without the added features. Keep me informed and I will try give you my business <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />ON a time frame I would think after the new year and before the end of feb would be enough time and I could budget accordingly.

Yes Jeremy when you do add the dedicated let us know I am sure alot of us will give ya a look or two <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

How goes the server front?
