I checked them out, don't really understand why they are so expensive though. I mean this is more than 10x the average price of seemingly similar hosting so what makes this so special? I'm not advocating their "sites" option, I'm bringing up the cloud servers option. You basically get root access to a 256MB RAM "shard" for about $15 per month. If you're only hosting static web pages and maybe some PHP, this is the best price for the most control. However, if you don't want to mess with setting up a node, and configuring it, I completely understand. There are cheaper, turn key options. EDIT: Looks like they upped it to 512MB RAM. http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/public/servers/pricingIf you ever plan on running multiple nodes for redundancy, this is one of the best cloud options.

It's the cloud man.
Kinda like double rainbows
This. Seriously, the brand, the uptime, the scalability, the free-asshole, the support team. What's your budget? Dedicated? How many pageviews you get a day? <10k? 10k<x<50k?

you know last year hostgator offered to buy out BTCWebHost.com - no joke. We ended up declining the offer but it was a big surprise - that we got that kind of attention.

You own a hosting company and have problems hosting a website? Yes your right you dont get it.BTCWebHost.com BitcoinWebHost.com BitcoinWebHosting.com BitcoinVPS.com I own all of these and they point to the same web hosting service which I also own, its a really neat service where you can signup and get instant account activation paid with Bitcoin. This is all through WHMCS and a reseller hosting account through neosurge. See Cpanel Licenses are EXTREMELY expensive and it makes absolutely no sense to get a dedicated server, and setup a complete hosting setup from scratch and spend thousands of dollars on licenses and thousands of hours on development when I can just buy a hosting reseller account through an outfit like neosurge and sell automated setup cpanel hosting accounts for bitcoins and have very low monthly hosting fees. BTCWebhost was the first dedicated Bitcoin web hosting service and is still #1 in Bitcoin accepting web hosting services. It was neosurge who screwed up the billing and caused the false suspension - think of them as my hosting companies uplink. I am not going to be moving the whole web hosting company - I already pre-paid for a year and most of my customers are pretty happy, its just btcfpga.com and bitcoinasic.com that I will be moving to a new web host. See most web sites are not under a microscope 24 hours a day 7 days a week. There are plenty of web sites that if they go down for a few hours no one even notices, but in the Bitcoin world things are a little different, people are watching every second of every day so you have to be vigilant with those types of sites. I host 100s of other websites and I am sure none of them even noticed the 6 hour outage - it was in the middle of the night and on a sunday. Its really no big deal for a regular website - shit happens. with that being said I am still moving btcfpga.com and bitcoinasic.com - I was planning to all along to coincide with the launch of our new website - but this last little incident has motivated me to make it happen sooner.

So you own a webhosting company and are unable to spawn up a vps somewhere, installing ubuntu, php-fpm, mysqld, nginx and moving a 100MB website there in less than half an hour? Ok, maybe it's me being strange, i do it with the same ease as having breakfast.

its not being unable at all, its about time and about a lot of other things which I really don't feel like explaining to you.
I am capable of changing the breaks and the oil in my car but It's much easier to go to the dealership and pay them to do it - as well as a nice wash and detail.
I am running a business which will gross over half a million dollars this year, all while having to handle customer service and the logistics of managing engineers, designers and developers all over the world.
The web hosting company was basically just a hobby, BTCFPGA/BitcoinASIC has outgrown BTCWebhost and its time to move on to bigger and better things.

I don't need you to set something up for me, please drop it. LOL. I suggested you Rackspace Sites and you complained for the pricing, this is "big money" and you can't afford a tiny 150$ month on a GREAT service? Ok, fine. You are told that you can get the same performances with a VPS, even with free setup from me, and you define VPSs crappy, with my trying to make you lose time. I asked you pageviews and budget above, did you reply? And you ask for suggestions? What's wrong? I currently run websites that peaks at around 100 php/requests/second, so i know what i'm sayng. Good luck having someone on a 5400rpm green drive host your "big money" website. BTW, i've just decided to cancel my order with you. Good luck everyone here. So you own a webhosting company and are unable to spawn up a vps somewhere, installing ubuntu, php-fpm, mysqld, nginx and moving a 100MB website there in less than half an hour?
