Phew - you do realise that when you google snarkpit there's a link to www.planetannihilation.com/snarkpit? I was afraid you'd moved over!

Hey Lep glad to see the site is back. I'm nearing completion of my hl2dm map and it will be great to get some playtesting and comments on it. This site and its users are the best.



I think you may want to reconsider globat.com, these reviews do not sound promising.
Many people complaining about billing problems, site downtime, email downtime, clueless tech support, one guy even says he got emailed the login and password of another customer's site...

For my personal site I'm using www.hostmysite.com

They are very fast and reliable and have excellent support.
The tradeoff is less bandwidth which is fine for me but probably not enough for this site.

Lunarpages.com gets good reviews, and is very affordable for there basic package (I'm currently with Lunar), but they only offer two package options, and the price of there high-end one is too costly for the space/bandwidth provided.

ipower.com has more package options than lunarpages, and still gets pretty good reviews. They are also a large-scale commercial host, so you don't have to worry about them suddenly disappearing one day. They have have scaled plans starting at $7.95 a month for a year commitment. They also offer a virtual dedicated server package for $19.95, which might be suitable even for running dm servers...maybe. I'm looking into this myself, this week.

Some people also like hostrocket.com

PS: Sorry for all the edits in the previous post...I pasted from JWPce to MS Word, then to here...which messed up the bbcode somehow. Had to edit a few times to get rid of the 'bugs'

If you go to this site:
http://whois.webhosting.info/

you can see how many domains are hosted on the same IP as your site

so if you type in snarkpit.com you will see there are 68 domains currently on the same IP as yours.

If you type in davidsmall.com (this is the first site I found that uses globat)
you will see there are 959 domains on the same IP. Seems to me they crowd as many sites onto the same server as possible.. thats how their rates are so low

My site IP has only my site on it, I can actually type the IP in to go to my site


Also here is a nice site for testing average ping to a site (it tests from multiple locations in north and south america)
http://www.hostpulse.com/hosting/networktools/pingresult.asp

for snarkpit.com the site reports average 292ms
and for my site at hostmysite.com it reports average 21ms

Globat sites dont reply to ping requests so you can't test them there but I did a tracert to davidsmall.com and before it timed out I was around 100ms (I'm in Ontario, Canada)

oktagone like you said is in australia,
hostmysite is in Newark Delaware
globat is in L.A. California



Anyway just wanted to give you some more info to consider.

Right, I've gone for Globat,

Thanks all but as you can see I've already chosen a new host, and will move within a week or so (giving enough time for people to realise we're back again)

A typical Paypal Donate button would suffice. Any excess goes to you for your hundreds of thousands of hours staring at your 15inch flatscreen coding this website. [addsig]
