to rock, not to roll ! http://www.ebonk.org/blog secangkir kesadaran menjelang revolusi Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:07:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 en hourly 1 ebonkhttp://feedburner.google.com Mencoba Hosting IIXIndo http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ebonk/~3/n_Skmy9QMrM/ http://www.ebonk.org/blog/archives/2009/06/23/mencoba-hosting-iixindo/#comments Tue, 23 Jun 2009 09:55:24 +0000 ebonk http://www.ebonk.org/blog/?p=422 Sudah dua hari ini, situs pulsa.web.id saya pindahkan ke IIXIndo.com. Saya akan trial selama 1 bulan, jadi ambil layanan IIX 1000, quota 1GB diskspace dan 20GB bandwidth, perbulannya Rp 45.000. Sejauh ini untuk koneksi dari lokal cukup puas, dengan beberapa catatan:

  1. Waktu pertama kali pakai Cpanel (18 Juni 2009) untuk restore database ke sana, sempat down. Sudah saya kirim tiket, ternyata sempat down selama hampir 24 jam. Tiket baru dibalas kemarin, jadi selama 4 hari tiket tidak ada balasan dari supportnya.
  2. PostgreSQL sudah tersedia, tapi belum dicoba untuk aplikasi sederhana.
  3. Upgrade Wordpress dan upgrade plugin di Wordpress kena timeout terus. Sepertinya kena RTO terus. Selalu muncul pesan error “Connect failed()” terus. Sepertinya ini penyakit di kebanyakan hosting di IIX, bandiwth internasionalnya seuprit.

Berikut pesan errornya:

Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.zip
Download failed.: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 534312 bytes received
Installation Failed

Saya akan diskusikan dengan IIXIndo.com apakah problem ini ada jalan keluarnya atau tidak. Kalau ada jalan keluarnya, hostingnya nyaman, saya akan lanjutkan hosting di sana. Kalau nggak, ya cari hosting lagi yang lebih reliable.

Harga nomor sekian, yang penting servernya kuat, bandwidth ngga pelit, dan ngga cengeng. Untuk percobaannya saya pakai domain delphipascal.com dan pulsa.web.id. Keduanya menggunakan WordPress. delphipascal.com masih baru, belum ada konten. pulsa.web.id sudah jalan dan trafficnya sudah ramai. Sebetulnya saya udah puas dengan tempat hosting ebonk.org, tapi sayang Mas Eko belum mau nambah account lagi :)

Pada saat tulisan ini saya buat, pulsa.web.id masih menggunakan jasa hosting Qwords pakai layanan Standard IIX untuk percobaan saja. Pindah dari MWN sekitar 3 bulan yang lalu. Di Qwords, memang rada mendingan sih. Sudah tidak ada lagi kasus RTO dari Google, jarang down, kecuali maintenance. Sayangnya di WordPress sering kejadian “MySQL server has gone away”, upload/download via FTP sering putus di tengah jalan, upgrade plugin WordPress macet-macet dan tidak bisa upgrade WordPress langsung dari dashboard.

Saya tanya, ini limitasi dari paket hosting atau limitasinya dari server Anda? Dijawab, itu masalah di WordPres 2.8 dan disarankan upgrade via Fantastico. Weleh, ebonk.org saja bisa upgrade langsung dari dashboard dan lancar kok. Pernah mengadu via tiket support soal problem di FTP,  katanya problem di koneksi ISP. Walah, ini sih jawaban khas MWN! Padahal ping, traceroute lancar. Facebook, YouTube, dan ebonk.org kuenceeng abeees. Kalau sama aja dengan MWN, wah udah deh, nggak mau! Kan sama saja itu mendesak ganti ISP atau ganti hosting? Ya pilih ganti hosting lah!

MySQL server has gone away.
Get a better hosting partner!

Connection timeout.
Get a better hosting partner!

Wordpress plugin upgrade failed.
Get a better hosting partner!

So, i can say:
Get a better hosting partner!
Period!

Ada rekomendasi hosting di IIX yang enak? Kalau ada PostgreSQL lebih disukai :)

“I have three treasures which I hold and keep. The first is mercy for from mercy comes courage. The second is frugality from which comes generosity to others. The third is humility for from it comes leadership.”

Caine: “Strange treasures. How shall I hold them and keep them? In memory?”

Master Po : “. . . No. . . not in memory but in your deeds.”
