RC Locations

[bowe]

Since 90% of my clients are hosting in the caribbean , Florida is the closet data center to my clients, less hops and better response time. Please not that its important that you keep this data center

I have no problem with Florida going as I have not had any good experiences with that DC. I do have sites in IL that are smoking fast. It would be a mistake to pull that DC out.

I am onboard with the majority in here, leave the DC's as they are.

Back in Spetember you took away the ability to modify DNS within RC. It was a shot in the foot when we were told that this would be repaired within weeks. It has now been months and still not operational. I would say that you need to concentrate on getting what you have solid before venturing on and doing all of this other stuff.

I love the structure that H9 is built. I like having the ability to transfer a site if I don't like the performance of where it is. I have been on my final legs with you guys and quite honestly am ready to pack my bags and head for higher ground. Probably go back to my own servers.

Thats my input...

Once I selected HostNine reseller account, I decided to move a large number of sites there due to fact that you had 10 different physical locations. For SEO purposes, I have hubs of 9 or 10 websites, and each website MUST be on a different Class-C IP Address.

You are missing a huge marketing opportunity by not advertising and maintaining this feature. Many people pay $5/month for a website on SEOHosting.com or WebSEOHost.

Ben,

I too do not want all my eggs in one basket.... your multiple data centers has been the major part of my features and benefits for some three years now to my clients. Keep at least 10 separate data centers would be my suggestion. Those of us that use your RC Locations benefit from this service.

I purchased this hosting to get 11 different locations. That is what is advertised all over the sales pages and that is the reason I chose this hosting.

But we don't get 11! Right now there are only 8 listed and one of them is full.

And they continue to advertise 11 locations!

I am extremely unhappy with this.

I too say 100% do *not* centralize the locations.

I don't much care that the servers are 2 or 4 times faster as long as they met minimum specs.

I said it before and I'll say it again I don't care much either about a lot of bells and whistles in RC. I agree with a previous post that the primary thing Host 9 should be doing is 'Qualifing' who you use on the backend and have an internal game plan, documented and practiced to insure minimum reboots, downtown, met backup needs and restores quickly, etc. along with the staff continuing to communication better than just emailing a link to a late, recently posted forum link that tells me a node/server is down going through an fsck. I already know it's down. It's frustrating and just leaves me hanging, feeling totally vunerable with no useful information what so ever to tell our customers.

I have to say though, until this node 58 ordeal I think I've noticed, over the last couple weeks, a lot of less down time and reboots. I'm not sure why that is but 'Thank you' and whatever the reason keep doing that a lot...

Again, my top 2 desires as a customer of Host 9 are...

1) Reliable consistent uptime with good backup and polite, useful communication from staff if something goes wrong...
2) Diversification of nodes/locations to host on...
3).....
4)....
19) Bells and whistles in RC

Thanks for listening...

This thread is almost 2 years old - why are you guys bringing this up after so long?

We will continue to add more locations not to worry.

One we will be adding for sure is Seattle through Softlayer. We may continue to add additional countries such as China.

As for the US we have most of it covered throughout different locations on the EAST, Central, and West coasts.

Rather than get rid of data centers, why not simply look for alternate data centers in the regions which can provide the quality you are looking for? Isn't this what your SLA's are for? I'm okay with getting rid of the data centers, only if those data centers are not providing the quality of service that you expect.
