This weekend I had to move some of my PhpBB3 instances off Mweb uncapped and back onto my old Host4Africa space. It seems there is a huge performance problem on Mweb side. If you submit more than one request to the server you get a 500 error.

Even static HTML sites fails to load because there servers are up to ....

Anyone else experiencing this?

Maybe somebody applied the throttle to the hosting by accident...
 
That won't surprise me. Ever since I moved some of my domains there I have had nothing but trouble. They have no idea what they are doing!!! Once I moved all my domains back to H4A I am cancelling my uncapped hosting. Mweb hosting really is a pile of steaming cloudy turd-nuggets.
 
Hi there,

As far as my previous experience MWEB don't use CPanel on their servers and when i hosted with them a long time ago (2/3 years ago) i had almost the exact same issues you are having now.

We are using CPanel, It is an amazing control panel for hosting!

Warm Regards

Dunno, its was the alleged free uncapped hosting that you get with your uncapped ADSL but the douchenozzles forgot to mention it was only free for a limited time.

I am trying to cancel it now but they do not respond to my cancellation requests.
 
Ah, yes then it's one of those "managed shared" environments.

I tend to shy away from my internet provider giving me email and hosting, same way I don't eat a steak at a fish and chips shop and expect it to be any good
 
If you are serious about your website you will simply go for a dedicated server. Not even VPS. Irrelevant of costs. If costs are an issue, you should just forget about a website.

First problem with any hosting company is that all of them will cramp as many websites as they can onto their shared servers. This often leads to massive performance issues and other technical difficulties as well. These are the main source of income for almost all webhosting companies. The more websites they can through onto a server, the bigger their income.

The second problem with VPS servers are almost the same. Here you get the more heavy-load websites who share a server. You are almost guaranteed to find the same problems as with shared hosting, no matter what hosting companies tell you. Again, the more websites they can cramp onto the server, the better their income.

The best option is your own server. Yes, it cost a lot of money, but at least you have all resources to yourself. You manage anything related to your server and you do not have any other websites causing problems.

However, the majority of people in the world do not have the money to afford dedicated servers, so ending up with 10,000 other websites on a small server is inevitable.
 
I have had no problems with Host4Africa and their virtual hosting in the past decade that I have used them. I moved my sites back there cause Mweb is totally crap. I am still trying to cancel my Mweb hosting with no success.
 
Yeah just filled in the cancellation request. I made sure to ask that only HOSTING is cancelled and not ADSL.

Will see if they get this right.

The amount of "idiot" in that sentence is staggering...
 
Getting cancelled at the end of the month.

Still sticking with their ADSL cause it is the best.
