2It has been a year since I wrote my 3 weeks review on GPLHost, and I am still with them despite some uptime issues back in June. My site hosted on GPLHost’s VPS has grown in popularity over the last year and the performance has been fine over the last 3-4 months. Now the VPS [...]
VPSLink Xen VPS 2 Weeks Review
This review is a follow up from my previous blog entry. Long story short — I have been a customer of VPSLink for 17 months and have been using their OpenVZ VPS to host various projects.

SliceHost 12 Months Mini-Review
How do you know that a web hosting company is good? You do a Google Search, landed on an initial impression review written almost 12 months ago, search around the site for any hint of negative comments on that hosting company and find none, and 12 months later the site is still hosted there.

LxAdmin Host-InA-Box Review Part 1

This post is a continuation from my previous post, searching for an affordable VPS on the East coast Australia. At the end I was choosing between two offerings — GPLHost‘s Xen package 4 in Sydney, or DarkStarX‘s VDS package in Perth. Although DarkStarX is cheaper, but (1) it’s on OpenVZ with only 128Mb guaranteed (2) [...]
Jumba Web Hosting 6 Month Review
Last time I wrote about Jumba was almost 6 months ago, and one of my websites is still hosting with them. I think it would be good if I can post some updates on their service. Overall, they still provide good Australian shared hosting with excellent value, however there have been quite a few issues [...]
SliceHost – Initial Impression Review
Oh no! Why do I need another VPS for? Anyway, I have just signed up with SliceHost earlier this week, getting a 256Mb “Slice” of Xen-powered VPS, running Gentoo Linux on their dual dual-core Opteron servers. So far so good, and here’s my initial impression.
Why I Host with Unixshell#
1After the decision that I need a Xen-based virtual private server, it came down to a journey of finding the right provider. What I need is simple —
