i’m not sure about u. i’m moving away from exabytes after this hosting year is over.
too many downtime for me with exabytes. almost everyday at least one time will be down.
i have already moved my domain name on to another local company. u can always try shinjiru
it is cheaper than exabytes without coupon too

mattsofi,
Glad to know my blog is still OK in loading speed. But I am aware that there are times when the speed is so slow you would like to close it and stay from it. That’s why sometimes I have the urge to move to another hosting provider.

Anyway, moving is not an easy task…

Neo,

So far I think it is ok. Our internal broadband routing internal to Malaysia also some time have problem. Slow corporate network make it worse.

Some company only has 1Mb or 2Mb for the everybody to use. My previous company in Tech Park Bukit Jalil has that problem, despite the fact that Bukit Jalil is actually on international backbone.

So many factors. I don’t want to under estimate local company but I do support local when ever I can. Somehow, I also have a very high expectation.

I am on godaddy. So far the speed and service is good but off course more expensive. I have 7 domain on one virtual server. Only use 450GB) under utilised.

Its your choice but consider many factors. About 70% of my readers are internationals.
Yours maybe different.

my 2 cents.

Do you think my blog is slow in loading? or fast? or reasonably fast considering the server is in the US?

Lots of thing count.

Uptime - 99.9% ???
Speed - how many account per server ?
Bandwidth per month?
Access / Control Panel / Telnet ?
Email / FTP
Sub domain - how easy to control the DNS ?
And many more.

You need all these to be pro and the top one is the utmost important where Malaysian hosting failed to deliver. 99.5% may be.

International speed is due to TM nuts and not the distance.

my 2 cents.

Don’t waste your money. Even with the coupon discount the Semi-D plan is still expensive. You may as well host with DataKL and pay only RM130 per year.
