iWeb You A Merry Christmas -- Santa comes to Montreal
Fri, 21 Dec 2007 21:31:00 -0400
iWeb Group Inc. (TSX-V: IWB) posted its 2007 fiscal results (ended Sept 30th) just in time for the Christmas party.
How did iWeb do?
- Revenue was $9.8 million, an increase of 71% over 2006.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $2.8 million, 29% vs. 25% in 2006
- Gross profit margin was 57%, compared to 54%.
- Revenue improvement was driven solely by organic sales growth.
- 80% of revenue from dedicated hosting, shared and colo 10% ea.
What is in Eric Chouinard's (iWeb, President and CEO) Christmas stocking? Exactly what was at the top of his list, $4.1 million (net proceeds of a recent public offering) to build out the firm's 3rd data center in Montreal, should hold another 850 cabinets.
Above the iWeb water cooler the note stated "Le parti de Noël programme comme planifié."
"The Christmas party is scheduled as planned."
And in passing I also wish all the WHIR folk, the readers and all of your families a merry and safe Christmas - Tom

How to Migrate Your Linux Website to Another Hosting CompanyWed, 07 May 2008 12:48:34 GMT
A complete migration involves transferring the site data itself, meaning all the HTML and possibly PHP and MySQL files and CGI programs. You also need to modify the Domain Name System (DNS) information for the site and for the routing of the site email. DNS holds information that translates IP addresses to human-readable domain names. For Web site migration, the two important DNS records are the address (A) record, which tells the browser the IP address of the Web server, and the mail exchange (MX) record, which tells mail servers how to route the email.
Anyway, if you have used Godaddy domain registration service or hosting products, you may have noticed the difficulty in to the final destination in checkout process. I’ve noticed some problems too. Here’s a pretty detailed criticism of GoDaddy’s 16-step checkout process which may be “brainless marketing at its finest.” A great article on the sheer stupidity of the GoDaddy checkout process. They truly are the 16 gates of hell. The author asks, “Why would a company do this to its customers?”
Currently, hostican hosting had upgraded their hosting plan to over 2000GB storage space for their most basic shared hosting plan. 10 months ago, hostican hosting is only offering 200GB storage space, and its now grown to over 2000GB storage. That is 10 times the storage space. This doesn’t effect the hosting services quality, and indeed you can view the previous month

Server MonitoringThu, 05 Jan 2006 00:00:00 EST
Monitoring is a very important part of the web hosting business. We are not talking about monitoring log files or so. What we are talking about is monitoring services and uptime and what to do with the information.

web hosting resellers Items For Viewing
I've been with
hostgator since around August of 2004. I signed up with a
reseller account to use as hosting for both myself and clients. My problems
began about a year ago with them, sometime in February or March of 2005 when one
of my sites was getting too much traffic. Now, I'm no fool. I understand that
shared hosting oversells and anyone who uses too many resources, even if still
within their quota, gets kicked off. What really shocked me, though, was no
warning. Not even emailing me after they had done it. Nothing, nada. I found out
by a member of the site that was suspended, someone I didn't even know, tracking
down my phone number and calling me.
I went to a dedicated server after that, but I kept my
hostgator account for the
sites that were already hosted on it - about three client sites, as well as this
site right here.
Two days ago I come to post a blog and hmm, I get the suspended page. That's
weird. I check my email - no notices there. I log into their billing system -
nope, account not past due. What the heck? So I go to their online support chat
and ask them what's going on. I'm informed that I haven't paid my invoice. What
invoice? I have no invoice. I check my bank and I see that I in fact have not
paid them since January. But man, I could've swore I put it on automatic pay.
And hey, if there's no invoice, how can I pay anyway?! Isn't this a problem on
their end? They tell me I need to email sales.
Okay... so I email sales. 12 hours later, they email me back and inform me I
have an invoice, charging me all the way back to October. Uhhh? I KNOW I paid in
January, I have it in my bank statement. I check their billing system, and they
don't even have a backlog of that payment. Something really funky is going on
now. Their system is screwed up, but no matter who I talk to (and oh, I've
talked to everyone) nobody seems to know what's going on. Sales doesn't talk to
support, online support doesn't talk to phone support, so who the hell knows.
Strangely enough, while on the phone with a support guy who informed me I just
need to pay the invoice and then dispute it afterwards, I received an email from
a different support person that my account had been reactivated, and thank you
for the payment. Whaaat? Uh, whatever. At this point I'm just going to take what
I can get and run. Now I at least have backups of all my sites and am moving
them.
It's just astounding how bad a service this has been. I even posted on their
forums about it, in their "Customer Review" section, and it gets MOVED to
another section because I can't post a bad customer review simply because I
haven't paid. HELLO. I WANT TO PAY, JUST NOT MORE THAN I OWE. I NEED AN INVOICE.
Other problems I've had? Well, let's see. About a week ago my sites reverted
back a day and I could get no explanation on why. I had JUST looked at my access
logs the day before, happy about a new site that was already getting hits, and
the next day - logs are back to a day before. Weird. I contact online support
(bad idea, since it's always horrible support) and they have no idea. I guess I
imagined things?
UPDATE 4-20-07: Well, they finally just simply decided to take their bogus bonus
from my credit card that was filed with them, despite the fact that it's
incorrect, I didn't approve of the payment, or anything else. I've never seen
such bad service, support in my life. I can't even be bothered to dispute it
it's just so amazingly horrible.
UPDATE 10-18-07: I'm still with them, why? I don't know - so lazy when it comes
to my own websites. Anyway, so a couple days ago I notice my "main" reseller
account, the site is completely missing. Email is no longer working. I log into
Cpanel to see that it appears my whole site has disappeared. Cute!

web hosting resellers have always fascinated me. This is the initiative I needed in getting this article written on web hosting resellers, to let this fascination fascinate others. #
