I use ASO for hosting and would recommend them to anyone! I have the "small orange" for 5.00 a month.
Got a tip for us?

Why not? Not trying to be argumentative, just wondering. I've got it set up- to refer to my 10.3.6 Server machine, which handles everything (right now it's load is light, just some php MySQL stuff, but it's been heavier before).
Oh...maybe upload speed? Help me out...
no-ip.com is just to give home systems on DHCP a "static" address. Sure, if you have the upload bandwidth on your home connection you *could* host your site off your own box, but that's not how 99% of people would do it. no-ip.com (and other dynamic DNS services) are not for "real" domain name registration.jestershinra said:
They have grown very quickly thanks to their great service, and happy customers like me spreading the word. Because of this growth they are having to re-structure. You can read exactly why they have stopped taking orders for this short time here.Hoef said:They are so great that they stopped adding customersHope they get it done soon:

I think its easier as you don't have to care for the maintenance of your hardware and you don't have to worry that it will go down (such as a black-out, or someone accidentally shutdown your comp) when you are not around.jestershinra said:
I personally do use no-ip.com but that's because I need to run some prototype server applications in java and it's really expensive to get vps for now. For my usual websites, I would use the hosting companies
I don't see why not (can't check my cPanel at the moment either, stupid work proxy!). Ask them. The ASO staff are VERY helpful.Hoef said:
Not true, I have 2 domains/sites hosted on the same space, without reseller accessdavecuse said:

How so? Do you have 2 completely different domains? Like http://davecuse.com/ and http://*************/ , or do you have subdomains setup like http://davecuserules.*************/ and http://davecuseisthecoolest.*************/ ?
I have 2 domain names, but they both point to the same thing.
2 totally different domains. You just add additional domians through "Addon Domains" in cPaneldavecuse said:
just noticed this thread and i have to say... A Small Orange hosting is by far the best out there. no limits! (multi-accounts, unlimited email, domains, and subdomains, e-commerce (shopping carts), reselling, forums/bbs/chat, etc. are all supplied through cPanel).
Everything runs on dual Xenon boxes in Houston Texas.
i also know a way of getting a discounted price if anyone cares to know, but please PM me and use me as a referal...
these guys are ****ing awesome!
peace.

I don't think its that simple. You have to configured your domain name to point to ASO name server and then ASO will configure it to your cpanel.edesignuk said:2 totally different domains. You just add additional domians through "Addon Domains" in cPanel
A lot of other hosting companies do offer all these unlimited stuff (together with cpanel), its just that ASO has a good customer support which is important.neut said:
As if ASO needed any more positive comments ... I've been a happy customer for several months now.
In actuality, the reason I went with them is because they allow unlimited addon domains on a $5/mo. account... it's great if one has to host several distinct sites that aren't bandwidth hungry (although 10GB is nothing to complain about!). And as others have mentioned, the support is very good (and very fast).

No, it is that simple. You register a domain where ever you like (I use godaddy.com). Set the name servers to ns1.asmallorange.com ns2.asmallorange.com (just as you would if it was for the first domain on your account). Then you just add that domain yourself in your own cPanel. ASO don't have to get involved at all.angelneo said:
UPDATE
I just contacted them I the said they are shooting for January as the date to which they will begin accepting to clients.
Hope that helps.

... just to clarify; A Small Orange has not stopped taking clients ... only the automated sitehas been shut down. if you need or want service; contact ASO directly through email and ask for the account you wish to purchase. referals also will also work through this process. many people are still singing up with ASO (like Hoef) and are experiecing great service.
don't forget to refer neut
D) or PM me to find out how to save more $$. peace.
Why don't we formalize this process, so we don't have squabbling on each and every ASO thread?
What do you think about approaching ASO and suggesting that instead of the referral bonus, as the MacRumors population on ASO grows a group discount process goes into effect? In effect spread the referral bonus bounty among everyone equally. Either it could simply be that for every person, the referral bonus is split among the MR ASO members, or a more usual discount:
0-10 MR ASO members 0% discount
10-25 10%
25-50 20%
50-100 30%
100-200 40%
201+ 50%
(these numbers are specious, and would have to be negotiated w/ ASO)
What say you?
