TuguHost Web hosting review
I bought a vps account from TuguHost on their Blackfriday deals. I saw this proposal as WHT, Lowendtalk and so decided to give it a try. I like Bill are guaranteed at least 512 MB of RAM, so I can run the control panel as Kloxo (my plan was to try the VirtualMin). I went for a basic plan with OpenVZ/SOLUSVM Panel. Equal share CPU. 25 GB of disk space. 250 GB bandwidth. 1 IP Address With the discount code I bought this through an annual payment of $ 20. It's cheap to even not managed vps , but not the cheapest. These days most average vps has at least 1 GB of RAM, so it can be put as a low-end range. But it's a decent configuration which is enough to run a vps without problems. I searched the Blackfriday deals cheap web hosting and I wanted to see if I can get a cheap vps or two at a time. I did a search on Google TuguHost reviews , but couldn't find one. Tuguhost WHT promo theme says they are Indonesia Web hosting company, which was founded in the year 2012. So it is quite a new Web hosting company. New does not mean bad at all even thought I'm usually careful about new companies. They have contact information in their Whois information, which is great. I don't like the company that pays them the location and contact details. You can find all contact details TuguHost there in Whois.TuguHost TOS looks OK, and I told them the representative WHT that legal adult things in order, although the TOS says "legal adult content is allowed, however it may not be the focus of your Web site.". So it is better to open a ticket and find out more about this if you plan to spend a fully adult or pornographic Web sites. it took me 12:0 am to obtain details of the vps. I waited for almost 48 hours, and then contact support and asked about. "then" email account details even though I'm 100% sure that I didn't get it before. I had to keep Checking your Inbox and spam from time to time. Anyway, I opened a ticket immediately after 12:0 am, and also this Blackfriday weekend, so I think it's fine.TuguHost Support has been very good. Better than I expected, because I got to almost all replys in the ticket within the hour and most of them within 30 minutes. This is not what costonly managed vps $ 20, so I wasn't expecting much. I hope that support will remain like this. no downtime or any problems since then. However, it is only 2 days since I got a vps so it is too early to say more. But I'm happy with how things went with my vps at TuguHost so far. Will do another review in a month or so uptime and support, as well as speed.

FriHost - Best Free Web Hosting Service
FriHost.com is my favorite free web hosting service. I believe they are the best free web hosting service in market today. I joined them in early 2006 and I had join bunch of free hosting sites same time. Most of those sites were Post2Host type sites just like FriHost but none of these sites last more than couple of years. You have to stay active in their forum to keep your free hosting account. You get points for each post you made and you can earn put to 5 points per post. Points counted on length of your post so basically on number of characters your post has and can earn upto 50 points per day. You only need 1 point per day to keep your free web hosting account active so You can even get this done in one day ! It's big forum so there are plenty of topics and boards to post.
When I first joined I received 250 MB space and 10 GB bandwidth But Now you get lot more than that ! FriHost offer 1500 MB of disk space, 35 GB of traffic, A free sub-domain, Unlimited addon domains and sub-domains, Php, perl, python, cgi, ssi and other scripting languages, Unlimited MySQL databases, Ftp access, Unlimited email accounts, cPanel or DirectAdmin control panel. It just like a normal shared web hosting account. You won't see big difference.
You get support from forum and this is better and faster than a usual ticket system. You get answers from both staff and other members so you don't need to wait long for a response. Uptime is very good too I haven't noticed any long down-times for years now. There was a week long down time several years back due to DDOS attack but nothing after that. They use several VPS not just one server so not everyone experience downtime if something happens. I'm in a service which uses Direct Admin panel. first I was not happy but now I'm used to it and like it.
The biggest reason why I like FriHost is their reliability. They have a plan how to make an income. They use forum advertisements as well as paid hosting to cover costs and keep the service running. They don't offer crazy amounts of resources so their free web hosting plans are realistic and practical. They have good set of rules and good group of staff members to keep things running smoothly. So basically they do run their free web hosting service just like a paid shared hosting service. This is have Frihost has been around for 8 years in this highly competitive web hosting market. So again I can say they are the best free web hosting service in the block today.
DDOS attack
DDOS attacks occur around often these days. I noticed Most goal-Forum BlackHatWorld. They appear to be now working some kind of DDOS protection system. DDOS attacks are one of the largest Web hosting related headache, webmaster. Typically, goals are online gaming sites, financial services firms and payments, but anyone who hates your site can make a DDOS attack on your site, having spent less than $ 200.
Find a good DDoS protection and mitigate network even more difficult. Usually too expensive. because you need qualified anti DDoS technicians who can respond in real time to the evolving DDoS attack characteristics to overcome any denial of service.
Softaculous is Great
Softaculous is a script auto installer like Fantastico which you can find hosting control panels like cPanel, Plesk, H-Sphere, DirectAdmin and InterWorx. It's a open source software but they do have a paid version too. It's script library known to have more than 300 scripts and they are adding more and more. The free version has over 50 applications and the pro version have more than 280 scripts. Many Cheap Web Hosting providers Softaculous free version since it's free and has most of commonly used scripts like Wordpress, Joomla, free forum scripts etc. Why pay a month free for Fantastico when Softaculous offers this great free version !I never had been a fan of Auto Installers. Always setup and configure my Wordpress blogs manually. Even forum scripts. This why you learn a lot about these scripts and how those behave. It makes life lot easy when it comes to trouble shooting. Few days ago I tested Softaculous in one of my VPS and I'm really impressed. Installation process is just 1-2 clicks. It's easy and fast. What took my attention is there are few great features like automatic script update option and also Automatic backup feature which make a cron job for taking backups every day, week or month. It makes life lot easy for someone who want to take backups but hate to mess with cron jobs.This is really good way to install web scripts easy and fast. Something every cheap web hosting provider should offer in their control panels. If you want to become the cheapest web hosting provider in Block then this is one method to cut your costs. I have just done a Google search for Softaculous vs Fantastico and also in few web hosting related forums. Seems Fantastico is dying if not already dead. Over 80% of web hosting providers say Softaculous is great, hands down. Cheaper, more updates, more scripts, less out of date scripts, even paid scripts (WHMCS, etc) and provide better support than Fanfastico has ever provided.

Hostgator Downtime ?
Seems people complaining more and more about down-times at Hostgator. This is know of supirsing because Many believe Hostgator is the best shared hosting provider (maybe not anymore). Even I used to tell anyone who ask me about a cheap web hosting provider for an active forum or site I would recommend Hostgator or Godaddy. Because both can handle sites which other shared hosting providers might not able to handle. Also Both have great uptime record. I don't use these 2 anymore since I have moved my sites to several VPS providers who are super great but I really had nothing to complain when I used shared hosting packages at Godaddy and Hostgator. I seldom had to contact customer support and never about uptime. Sites were always up I don't remember having downtimes at all while I was using (2 years).I have noticed a thread where many complain about downtimes and quality of Hostgator hosting at Warriorforum. Not those who have no idea what they are doing but those who are serious about their sites because they do earn money and a downtime can be a serious disaster for a big web site. Some believe all these has starting happeing after the Hostgator company has take over by Endurance International Group. I really don't know this has anything to do it recent problems. Sometimes people just tell these stuff.According to the Hostgator Facebook page ( Here ) they are experiencing data center problems and had even an outage yesterday. Also that they were upgrading equipment. as to the Facebook page
Services should virtually all be returning to normal. This upgrade clearly did not go as planned (we realize this is an understatement), and it truly should have been transparent and seamless. We realize that apologies do not properly compensate for unexpected issues like this, however we want to thank everyone that commented to us with understanding and positive messages while we worked to resolve this. Your understanding is appreciated.Hope things will workout for Hostgator users. Nobody like to see down-times specially when you are paying money not to have down-times and headaches. But sometimes things happen which can't be controlled. Whatever it is Hostgator must be doing their best to sort out the mess. They have a good reputation in web hosting business and I don't think they want it to be trash it.
