  2) how many inodes per acc?
  Thanks

    Hey xtanda,

    To answer you questions in order

    1) We can't give you an exact estimate of accounts per server as its based on hardware performance and SSD space available. Although we use CloudLinux to ensure all accounts receive the performance their website needs and don't oversell our SSD space :)

    2) All Accounts receive 300000 inodes with an I/O of 30MB/s

    Thanks,

      I have one more question.

      How long do you plan to run before realising you have to oversell to make money?

      It seems like you have had 3 very discounted sales since you started and well… You are surely running at a loss at the moment?

      If you're covering the cost of a dedicated server in Australia and a cloudlinux licence and multiple salaries. Not to mention, offering unlimited bandwidth - if you're actually on an unlimited bw service it's like an extra 160/month for unmetered 100mbit.

        Hi brendantay,

        Obviously, we cannot go to in depth in how we operate as a business. But the plans we have advertised are very limited and do not offer a lot of disk space and are perfect for small business Australian websites. So we can afford to run a few promos here and there.

        Moving forward with a local Australian company (discussed below) for our next node prices will be slightly increased to cover operational costs but we believe the service price/performance aspect will be even stronger. You can find our updated pricing here: https://portal.downunderhost.com/cart.php?gid=3

        Thanks,

  Any comments on service standards, especially when something goes wrong? I've been with Zuver for years, but they've recently jacked up their prices on entry level hosting, so it might be time for a switch.
  Also, am I correct in thinking this renews at $25/month?

    Hi newdad,

    We have recently published our status page which gives users live information on whether a service is up or down https://status.downunderhost.com/

    We are currently a team of 2 and ticket time is roughly 1-4 hours depending on the time of day. With our services growing, of course, ticket times will be a lot shorter

    Our current shared hosting platform is located at OVH Australia which offers a 99.95% guaranteed uptime with all their dedicated servers. Our next node will be deployed at Intergrid (https://Intergrid.com.au) which should hopefully strengthen our service even more with their 100% SLA.

    The current plan is recurring for the life of the service.

    Hope this sheds a bit of light

    Thanks,

  Any comments from current customers on how good this would be for running a VPN? I'm not familiar with cloud services for VPN but I'm thinking of setting one up as a weekend project

  • 

    MarketingDylightful @ Down Under Host on 05/02/2019 - 21:27

    Hey bpop99,

    Our shared hosting platform is intended for users that wish you run their own website. Therefore a VPN will not work on our platform.

    If you are looking for a VPN, I highly recommend purchasing a VPS (Virtual Private Server) and using the following VPN configuration script (https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install)

    Hope this helps,

  Hi DUH,

  For the uninitiated… if one wanted to create a relatively simple but responsive online portfolio, is there a suitable App included in Softaculous, or better to use WordPress on your servers?

  I assume when you mention the following, you mean a service that constantly uploads and downloads files for storage e.g. Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.

  Prohibited Material and Activities
  The following material and activities is prohibited on all Down Under Host services:

  • Image or File hosting

  Thanks!

    Hi Master Bates,

    Softaculous offers a wide range of installable apps to choose from you can see the full list here: https://www.softaculous.com/software/

    Personally, WordPress works great and has lots of different options available. Try: https://themeforest.net/category/wordpress if you are looking for a good WordPress framework.

    Alternatively, we can install and activate WordPress for you for an additional fee.

    Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Thanks,

  You might want to get your help and faq pages loaded, not much there for newbies eg my son who bought a service (12 year old). Check out Zuver and their parent Ventra to see what some providers have , lots of help stuff to get people up and running.

  We bought a domain and some cheapy hosting so he do his own website … we'll see how it all goes.
