Web Hosting Survey

cd34 · 2008-05-22, 08:02 AM

I'd like to ask each of you, especially those that don't host with us, to take this brief, ten minute survey. Most of the time when we develop new hosting products or platforms, we do it because we see things that need to be fixed, however, we've designed something we think might be a marketable new service.

The survey is anonymous, so, please only take the survey once. Feel free to pass the url on to friends if you would like. We're not collecting email addresses, names or any other personal information and aren't going to try to sell you anything at the end of the survey. This is merely a method to collect unbiased opinions to make sure we're headed in the right direction.

Thank you for your time.

Some questions were over my head, but did my best

Cleo · 2008-05-22, 09:27 AM

I took the server survey.

Did I win a lifetime of free hosting?

Since its anonymous, it would be really hard to reward prizes. I debated whether to ask for information as there were certain people I was really curious to know their answer to two of the questions.

I have to admit though, some of the answers are surprising. It'll be interesting once there are 50 or so surveys completed if the early trends continue. Its like my own little electoral battle.

Survey taken.

LeRoy · 2008-05-22, 10:23 AM

I took the survey too. Colo-cation has been great and thanks for the wonderful service. A big thanks to Brian also. He has helped us a few times with moving sites from Godaddy to Colo seamlessly.

If it is the question I think it is, based on the survey responses, you are in the overwhelming majority.

That isn't an unexpected result -- even I was unsure when I wrote the question.

It must be the question that made me think of the title of that horror movie, Cloverfield.

As many of you know, I've been with far too many hosts. I change hosts around twice per year and I still had no clue about that particular question.

Not really - mine is the one that says "Hi Sparky!" but I'm guessing you already knew that

buttster · 2008-05-22, 10:56 AM

Survey completed

Cleo · 2008-05-22, 10:58 AM

I was a bit surprised at the backup question.
Mirrored RAID is great for no down time unless you get data corruption like if you get hacked so I would want Mirrored RAID and versioned backups.

(I do nightly versioned backups to my Mac mini using a combo of rsync and Time Machine so I don't really worry about this.)

bluebrit · 2008-05-22, 03:24 PM

Survey Done.

I use colo and the service provided is great. I don't think there has ever been a time when you haven't had the right answer for any of the crazy questions I may have asked

I may be looking for a light duty host in the future.

Here is what I put in the comment section, "The issue I have with VPS and Dedicated is that it has to be managed and affordable. The reason I don't have those types of accounts is due to the fact that I have no desire to do any maintenance or technical support on my own. My job is to build porn sites."

Twiceshy · 2008-05-23, 10:08 PM

survey taken , Happy hosting

Fonz · 2008-05-25, 06:51 AM

10 minutes? It took me 3 days to complete this survey thingy

Ms Naughty · 2008-05-26, 07:55 PM

I did it but I my answers may not be entirely correct. This has made me realise how little I know about hosting. I just put the sites up there and hope there's no downtime. Maybe I need to give hosting a bit more thought.

cd34 · 2008-05-26, 08:29 PM

There aren't any wrong answers.

Though, I was surprised that almost 15% of the respondents don't know if their host does backups.

Ms Naughty · 2008-05-26, 10:33 PM

Some of the answers I gave were only about one host and I have four. So that's why they might not be accurate. And also... I was feeling a bit vague and devil may care when I did the survey LOL
