AX-Hosting Closed

[timROGERS]

Dear Client
CESSATION OF SERVICE
This email is to advise all clients that ax-hosting. com will no longer be providing hosting services after 1 March 2006. All clients will therefore need to find an alternative hosting service for their site. Clients with active sites who paid an annual hosting fee will recieve a refund for the unexpired portion of their fee.

Clients should, where necessary, request changes to nameservers by email and any client wishing to transfer their Domain name to an account in their own name should do so as soon as possible.

We apologise for any incovenience this will cause but will endeavour to assist as best we can in the transfer of sites.
ax-hosting.com

Oh yey, lets play move 20+ databases and 3GB's of files >.>

Thank you the site for other people they will need another Hosting site when Ax Closes down.

[Tomm]

I want to change to a 'real' host not a reseller.... Guess ill have to get looking.

[Rix]

hugotonhosting.com

i work there:)

[timROGERS]

Same here Tom, it's best to go with a true host with their own servers, but it's difficult when none of the big ones have cPanel. I would go with Sygon if they had there own server.

[xxMATTGxx]

HostingZoom.com - Im with them. Its a Usa site but they let UK users join.

[Tomm]

http://www.bluehost.com/tell_me_more.html - They look good :) Just make sure you sign up for 1 or 2 years or it becomes expensive.

[Coding4Newbs]

At the end of the day tim, servers are expensive, who craes if sygon hosting is noty a server joes gonna renew it, For example ax hosting they got servers but they still closed down and let many customers down

I know what you mean but more Pro Hosting sites have there own server. And servers only go down when the host wants to. Sometimes with resellers they go dont quite alot.

Sygon, sygon-hosting is more likely to shut down that a host with dedicated servers...

And theres another reason thanks Tom ;D

[Coding4Newbs]

And theres another reason thanks Tom ;D

Xmat do you think this is a competition?, True tom, i dunno if i save up some cash i might buy a server, depending though ;) or ill make my pc and make it a supped up server :)

[timROGERS]

Before they close, a few days before, I'm going to totally abuse there server. Think,


<?php mail([email protected], haha, pwned \n pwned); ?>

a couple of hundred times </3

If you dare overload the server before I have transfered I am not going to be a happy bunny :(

[timROGERS]

I'll do it on a few days before :P It'll only crash the mail server :P

[Nick.]

thank god it's closing. It was terrible hosting. My site had around 6 problems with it. One was very strange, some people saw the old version of the site, some people saw the new one.....man, now thats a good reason to switch hosts.

[Anderman]

I've allways hated AX, Even though i've never been hosted by them properly
I use http://www.crisphosting.net Good packages and pretty good uptime

Thats because you probably had a meta tag which said to cache the page.

You do realise whats going to be on my christmas list this year . . .

Just a quick idea.

If I bough 2 x 512GB hard drives, installed either apache or abyss, would people actually consider buying. The downtime would be low, as I have back-up power supplies which have previously been used for server and database back-up.
Could I actually get CPanel and WHM for this, and would I get extra charges from my Inernet Prvider?

id consider buying but i think you should do 1gb packages aswell

[timROGERS]

Sounds good but if you buy a server and keep it where you live, a cPanel license is £1000. It'd be better to rent a dedicated server for £20 a month ;)

[KCMac]

Shame. AX did good hosting. www.crisphosting.net - There the company i use

[Tomm]

Problem! Normal home internet connections have a upstream of 256kbps. So unless you plan all your users to be useing a 256kpbs or less internet connect you aint going to get very far... Bascily its not impossible to have your own server but its more pratical and easyer to rent one from a hosting company with a 50/100mbps upstream.

[Anderman]

would I get extra charges from my Inernet Prvider?
Haha,
You actually think your internet connection would be able to handle a web server?

[awelsh]

I recommend www.sharpehosting.com (http://www.sharpehosting.com) or www.harkonnenhosting.co.uk (http://www.harkonnenhosting.co.uk) I host with harkonnen the both sites have cpanel and full php support and harkonnenhosting are giving my hosting for free.:eusa_danc

[KCMac]

OR www.oneandone.co.uk - I use them to host my schools site <3

Yep they are good and reliable but there prices are a bit too high.

[Anderman]

But at least you know you would never have any downtime
And im sure they wouldnt just close at a minutes notice...

[JoeComins]

Haha,

No, I didnt think that, bu I know for a fact that other peple use their hard drive and use their web hsting off it, And how do yu find out your upstream?

Im ust interested, so dont flame me

[JoeComins]

[sock]

Your altenative could be lava-hosting thats good...

[timROGERS]

Lava = Reseller = Rubbish

[Anderman]

[Dan Williamson]

True

No. They were servers.

[Anderman]

Ok
- And wy do you do this? Its really annoying. Why not put it in your signture and save 4 characters each post.

[Mentor]

Oh yey, lets play move 20+ databases and 3GB's of files >.>
I know what you mean, Danm there crapy new owner ship, plus my primary db uses colum names that kill the db, as the backup files dont add the coma things which makes it even harder :(

Im still looking for a new host so any sugettsions of cheep but decnet hosts would be appeaated, i need to find on by the start of feb so i have time to move everything before march :D
