That is as cheap as you'll get. If the reviews look acceptable, I suggest you go with it.

I read some bad reveiws about them just a couple days ago. Their costs seem way too low. I would try a company like site5

What is the point of good support with bad uptime?

Looking through our uptime logs we have achieve 99.9% on all server except the server donkey. This is because we had a hardware issue which we describe having a failed raid array during the intial setup. Therefore that was expected. However with over 30 or so servers with 99.9% uptime shows something differ compare what you are saying. What server are you on by the way?
Posted by Luxus, 08-21-2005, 11:01 PM
I am on Panda server.
Posted by Profuse-Will, 08-21-2005, 11:05 PM
Hi Luxus, According to hybodus monitoring service it states it is at 99.99% uptime. There are occurances where panda has been rebooted. This is probably our oldest server which is about 1 years old or so. If you wish you can request your account to be move to a higher end server where we now utilize raid 1 please do so by emailing us at support.

OK, thanks. I will submit the request now.

steer clear from gazzin. while they do have great customer service (as in responsive), their server uptimes are HORRIBLE. and they use these in-house stat checkers which are WILDLY inaccurate. i've been with them for 4 months, was moved from monkey to desertlion. monkey's uptime is in the 99.5% range, desertlion in the past month is 98.2%. their mysql goes down 2-3 times daily, their loads go up to 700 due to misuse of their servers. and they claim on their website they make no excuses cause they have no downtime, but you get tons of downtime, and loads of excuses. they'll tell you they've resolved the problem, they've moved some adult websites to another server. and literally 15 mins later mysql goes down, apache goes down, your site is down for 2 minutes. i lost two clients while hosting with them. if you want a nice starter package and uptime isn't important, go for gazzin. if you want reliable hosting, steer clear. my new webhost i'm paying about the same price on, uptime for the past two weeks is 100%, their server hasn't even been rebooted. you can get good hosting for cheap, "you get what you pay for" in my opinion is a myth. however, in the case of gazzin, it is very real... stay clear!! PM me for info on my new host. (gazzin cronies can now respond showing 99.99% uptime on their hopeless in-house uptime monitors, and say oh we've load balanced our servers now or installed this and that or done something. but bottom line is, i've got a 1-minute interval monitoring service on desertlion and monkey, and both are showing some quite horrible uptimes. ) and all their servers except desertlion do not have 99.9% uptime as someone above said. a 5 minute browse through the members section of the forum will show numerous complaints on numerous servers, showing downtimes for 30 mins, and even more for servers like desertlion (for e.g. desertlion had 5 hours of intermittent service on sunday 7th of august, giving an uptime for the day of 80 something %. i'll create a new thread on this topic too, important for this to be out there!

Hi, I took a look at desertlion's uptime and it remains to be at 99.98% uptime in intvervals of 2 minutes monitoring. We do not do an in housed monitoring system rather we have it outsourced at hybodus.com where they are located on the east coast. We have another in house monitoring system which we monitor as well however statistics is almost the same. Finally the issue on desertlion is due to load spikes that occurs at 4-8am PST which we are still investigating. During the peak hour traffic such as 9am-5pm such spikes does not occur. We have change many crontab and kept a close eye on the server. Not only that but we have develop monitoring scripts on all our servers in regards to load where we are actively monitoring at 24/7 intervals. We are not jam packing our servers. With a dual xeon 3.0 2 gb ram and 200 gb serial ata raid 1. The OS is running in 64bit mode where the current load is less than 1.00. However, during 5am PST you can say a spike occurs going up to 300.00 or more. Therefore, we are still investigating what is happening. Finally to chamelion's statement I really do apologize if we put you through any trouble. But we are not here on a one term basis or a fly by company. We have been operating gazzin.com for over 1 year with over 1000+ reseller and over 23000+ domains currently being hosted globally. Although your experience may have been not up to par others may have differ as we have over 35 servers currently in our server cluster.

Hello, I don't understand other people that complain here about their problems with gazzin, with those costs they are suitable for starter bussines or personal websites, let's be resonable with those costs they are not targeting comercial sites so if you want to run a bussines try paying at least 25$/month and then this forum will be more free from downtime reports and other issues regarding Gazzin. They are great in their segment of webmarket wich they are targeting, i have been with gazzin for 1 year now hosting some small sites, some of them database driven and for hosting commercial sites i pay 25$ with other hosting company which is suitble for this segment of webmarket . Gazzin had some downtimes, some of them verry short caused by mysql and long ones because of dns problems or hardware anyway if you want to skip a meal i suggest you give those money to gazzin and than own a hosting account that you can only bennefit from it Happy hosting.
