WPEngine hosting
-
I see WPEngine now has a discount as pro member perk. I'm looking a superfast host for a wordpress site. Has anyone used WPEngine? or have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm doing some consulting for WP Engine now (helping with SEO and general marketing), and I can definitely say I recommend them. As to how fast they are, do a speed test here: http://speed.wpengine.com/
You can even mirror your site at WP Engine over their 14-day trial, and run the speed test on your .wpengine.com site vs. your current site to see if it really works well. Their support people are generally helpful in helping you tweak/optimize your site, as well.
About the only negative I would say with WP Engine is that they really don't support anything outside of WordPress. But if you have a main site or even a blog that's all WordPress, and it gets a fair amount of traffic, they are definitely worth a look!

Thanks serge! Yes. I'd love to see your graphs.. I've just been looking at vps.net
-
It perfomed much much better when i loaded it. Having 50-60 visitors at the same time bluehost loadtime graph was bouncing 3-5 s load time. vps 500ms-1s.
website is light and showing 98% in google speed tool. I can even show the graphs if you are interested

Hi Sergie, thanks for the reply.. how much quicker were vps.net than bluehost? I use bluehost now.
-
I was looking for the same several days ago. Then i did an experiment, my old bluehost + several other cloud hostings. My office walls are all in graphs, on Monday everybody thought that I'm crazy.
Vps.net cloud hosting performed the best, and I liked customer service.

Impact of Medium blog hosted on my subdomain
I am using the Medium blogging platform to blog, but it is pointed to my site and appears at blog.mysite.com. Since the content is hosted on Medium and pointed to my subdomain via an A Record / CNAME / etc... 1. Will my domain get credit for backlinks to the blog content? 2. If Medium changes in the future and no longer points to my subdomain, will I lose all of the backlinks I've built up?

Do 301s still work after hosting is discontinued?
I am in the process of phasing out a website that has been acquired by another company. Its web pages are being 301 redirected to their counterparts on the website of the company that has acquired them. How long should I maintain the hosting of the phased out website? Technically, do 301s still work after the hosting has been discontinued? Thanks, Caro

Is there a reason why a host would be reluctant to give up Cpanel access info?
Granted, a strange question here... My client lost her cpanel login credentials, or never bothered to get them (she didn't even know she had a hosting account). Apparently she has a friend who is hosting her website for her, free of charge. I need to get into the cpanel, but they are being extremely difficult. The client asked them and they didn't want to give it to her either. Still trying, but is there any reason why they would be so difficult? How does it benefit them? It can't be because they're afraid of losing her account because she isn't paying them anything. Totally confused by this. Any ideas?

Moving site between hosts over short time scale
Hi Does anyone know if moving your website between hosts & server location 3 times in a relatively short time frame (say 2 months) can have a negative impact from an seo perspective ? Cheers

What hosting companies do you use & do you use dedicated servers
I am hoping the community of semoz will help me in deciding what hosting company i should use as there are hundreds of them. I have asked previously about dedicated servers but was shocked to have only received one responce. Recently i have been having nothing but problems with my hosting company so now i am trying to find a UK hosting company that can offer a dedicated server. I would be grateful if people could let me know what companies they use for their sites and if they use managed hosting companies.

Multiple domains on the same hosting
Hello, I have around 80 sites (different domains) which are on the same host. Everytime I look up the IP of these domains, it gives me the same IP. The sites are interlinked, all linking to the main domain. My question is: Does the off site link building have effect on the 80 sites?
