Regarding upgrading service

[shangyi]

Hello,

I'm one of the users using the free hosting under cossacks server, and lately its experiencing a lot of downtime. And i would like to ask if i upgrade the service, can i get lesser downtime or it will just be adding like extra bandwidth and more databases etc.

Thanks

paid hosting is guaranteed 99% uptime and from what I've heard, it easily meets this mark.

If you are talking about paying for the “double everything” deal, this will not improve or worsen your up/down time, you are basically doing a one time payment for more resources. For a 99% uptime, follow garrettroyce advice. Here is the link https://clients.x10hosting.com/cart.php

I purchased the $20 Development Package and it’s great.

Oh, good call. After re-reading the post, I think shangyi was referring to the double everything. The development package does sound really good. I think I might do that while I'm working on my site and eventually transfer to paid.

thanks for the replies above.

so if i wanted from free to paid, all the data will be transferred over to the paid server automatically or i have to start from scratch again?

It should be transferred, as far as I know.

I believe there is an area that you specify free hosting account details during the order process, this is where you will put your details so the data can be copied over.

Yeah, that sounds right. Either that or there's a spot for comments and you can put it there. I thought I remember hearing you need to put in a ticket for the transfer, but I could be wrong on that.

I think I'll upgrade today, if you end up doing the development package after me, I'll reply and let you know.

I kept my free account separate, so I can’t help with the transfer of files issue. And yes, you can have your free account PLUS all the paid accounts you want and can afford.

Here's your choices:

The product/service you have chosen requires a domain name so please enter your domain name selection from below.
I want x10Hosting to register a new domain for me.
I want to transfer my domain to x10Hosting
I will update my nameservers on an existing domain Or I will register a new domain.
I want to use a free subdomain.

so then i have to choose the 'I want to transfer my domain to x10Hosting' and type in my free subdomain from x10hosting (e.g maplefrenzy.x10hosting.com)?

Yeah I think so. It also gives you the choice later on to either create a new cpanel or use the old one.

And there's a comments section too, so you can explain it better if you wish.
