HostMonster Web Hosting Package

Well, it’s not just me recommending Hostmonster. Check out this recent positive feedback by a Hostmonster customer named Jordan Ancel, owner of the TinkerStreet Creative Group, LLC from Los Angeles, CA.

Excellent Value, Excellent Service

"Over the last few years, I have tried a few of the top ten webhosting companies for various clients, and I have found that HOSTMONSTER has provided the best customer service, uptime and features overall. Now they offer unlimited domain hosting, and I have migrated all of my numerous accounts to Hostmonster. They are reliable and their customer service is top-notch. "

I hope this strengthen your faith with Hostmonster services. In case you haven’t check out their latest hosting promotion, it’s wise to do so quickly as the $150 marketing credit offer could be expiring any soon. To learn more about Hostmonster deal, click here.

Here’s how Hostmonster’s server status looks like today:

The results?

Everything looks good and I remain positive on Hostmonster server performance – after all, I’m hosting websites on Hostmonster itself and I found no problem in maintaining and accessing my websites, why shouldn’t I like Hostmonster?

The disk storage issue with Hostmonster servers

There were some minor worries about Hostmonster’s disk storage being overloaded during June, but things had improved much in September.

Referring to the figure besides, you’ll see all the hardware are in healthy level.

Well that’s all for the moment, I’ll be updating you on the server’s situation in future.

Seems like it’s not only me who’re reviewing HostMonster via running a website on the web host. HostmonsterReview.org is doing the samething in the sametime. Well, it’s definitely useful to have another voice on HostMonster reviews. In fact you’re very much recommended to search around the Internet before making any purchase decision.

As for your reference, this is what mentioned about HostMonster’s server uptime recently at HostmonsterReview.org:

For the month of april 2008, the hostmonster uptime recorded as 99.93% over the Internet. Which is above the service uptime guarantee of 99.9%. There are some problem/downtime at early of the month, but quickly solved and there is no downtime for the rest of the month.

Hostmonster server speed test and response time was recorded as 0.243 second. A very fast response server.. means the server is not crowded and with low server load. This also indicates a good quality hosting servers.

An image speaks a thousand words, the statement of the blogpost are also shown in graphical:

So hey, what do you think? Sounds like a positive sign for Hostmonster? You bet!

Parking your domain at HostMonster is simple.

First, set the nameserver for the domain you wish to park to:

Primary: ns1.hostmonster.com
Secondary: ns2.hostmonster.com

Following next, wait for the domain to be reolved to HostMonster’s server. Normally the process will be done within a day but the official time for the trasnfer is 48 hours.

After the Internet Service Providers had completely pickup on the DNS changes, login to your HostMonster control panel and go to “Parked Domains”. Select the domain you wish to park (if you have many hosted on the account) and park the domain onto your main domain.

A quick check on HostMonster server status today:

Server load =2.4/8.0 cpus, all servers (including mail and database servers) are up, only 20% memory is used… everything seems fine.

Except I’m seeing one single ‘yellow light’ at the disk storage – Disk /dev/sdd1 (/home1). From the numbers it shows that 87% of the disk space is used in this section. Nothing much to worry, but it’s showing that the disk space is loaded up fast.

Could this be as a result of HostMonster getting more and more popular? Will HostMonster upgrades it’s disk capacity soon? Is this just a sudden ‘usage-spike’ that occurs temporarily? Hmmm… Well, I don’t have any answer for all these; but I am sure I will be observing the situation closely. Let’s see how things go for the next few days.

Anyway, one thing for sure is that all my web maintenance operations work just fine at HostMonster. Everything’s as smooth as usual and I have no worries on hosting with HostMonster at all.

After all, they have been giving me such a good experience so far – why should I be bothered about such tiny thing (the 87% disk usage)?
