Hi, I found you listed on the Xoops site. A few people said that this site does support xoops well while another said No. Is there anyone actively running xoops on this service?

If so, please let me know:

1) Your feedback of the overall performance
2) Number of modules you use
3) Number of users on your site
4) Are you using one of the forums and if so, how many people are active at one time.

I have several small but growing xoops sites (50 or fewer users) and my current provider can't handle them. SQL servers are overloaded so that it takes up to 3 minutes to move from page to page through the site. When I send a request I receive the answer that the servers are shared and they can't really do anything about it.

I hate going through server/hosting changes so I want to make sure that I'm choosing one that can handle my requests as I grow.

Thank you!
Kim

If your site is poorly optimized, and has many people on at one time, it could be a potential cause for suspension if your site uses more than your allocated CPU usage, but a 50 user total xoops install shouldn't cause much fuss, the servers are dual core AMD's with 4GB of ram if i'm not mistaken.

Kim,

I set up several Xoops sites here before going dedicated. None of them had forums or many visitors in a day, so I can't speak to your issues specifically, but the sites ran fine.

There are several people from xoops.org that host here, and I haven't heard them complain about the performance (that I can remember).

Failure is not an option. It comes standard with all Microsoft products.

Thank you all for your feedback. I have signed up with Surpass and we'll give it a try.

Once my site grows and I add things like forums, I don't mind moving to a dedicated server. In fact, one of the things I like about Surpass is that the option for a dedicated is there.

My current xoops sites have fewer than 50 members each. No forums and rarely more than 2 people browsing at a time. I don't think this should pose a problem for any web host. But in the past it was and it wasn't because of me it was because the host was running system backups on the database servers during the day.

I look forward to outgrowing my servers and moving on to dedicates.

Thank you all. I'll see you on the forums.
