It looks like the bandwidth of the web hosting service I subscribed goes too narrow; more frequently day after day.
Sometimes I've to wait more than half a minute to download 15 MB only.
Ok, it's a cheap hosting option, but It wasn't working this way during the first months I used it.
I'm pretty sure it isn't due to traffic related to my website; ...not common visitors traffic, at least. ...I'll probably add a counter
It could be most likely useless if my suspicions are well-grounded, but I've been considering something like a mirror host.
Doing some search here I've found

Does anyone have suggestions about?

Re: web hosting
Quite possible the machine is infected, many inexpensive hosts simply install a current image of whatever their linux distro is atm and things are rarely updated.
What kind of bandwidth needs do you have and what do you use the site for? There are probably several people here that have boxes that can host a smaller site, or if your needs are enough what your workload is would make a difference between what I'd recommend.

Re: web hosting
My current host offers lot of solutions, from simple 19 euros/year 1GB hosting with domain registration and PHP facilities, to dedicated servers, or even phisical host of server machines in proper environment.
This doen't rule out the hypotesis of infected OS on their cheap servers, but my suspicions were about different things.
At now, the content of my website could cause the movement of strong powers against.
Staying to what I can see, it's plenty of zombi machines around. It looks like the majority of people here massively use e-mule and torrent apps. They open firewall ports and don't care about viruses unless the machine crashes. They don't have the knowledge or the time to deal with this kind of issues nor the money to pay a technician to solve things that appears them like a minor issue.
My suspicions were about attacks to the site; the slowdown is hours related. In the same periods of the day I can download at full ISP bandwidht from other sites...
About the bandwidht needed for my site... I don't know how to exactly quantify. The website content are PDF files: up to 16MB size (pages from scanner), pics: even high resolution versions, video clips: up to 300MB file size ( I have to re-encode them; 4Mb/s is too heavy for fast consulting)
The traffic shouldn't be huge, considering the video version I loaded on Youtube had 160 views in a month, with a maximum peak of 20 views in a day. It should be even less for the website, considering lot of Youtube visitors were looking for videos recorded INSIDE the place I'm talking about in the clip.

Re: web hosting
So then the other question is what region you prefer your hosting to be in?
I'm familiar with larger hosting facilities in .de, .be & .uk only really, since I'm West Coast US, but most hosting companies get at least some mention by users at webhostingtalk.com, though it sounds like you don't need your own VM or dedicated box by any means, you're probably going to wind up under a reseller selling portions of their hosting wherever you go.
As for the rest, I agree with your summary of your hosting place's offerings. Very typical for a hosting company...

At now simple hosting suit good; I could need database facilities soon.
About transfer rate... I realize I've given wrong data; 15MB in a minute would still be pretty good. Actually I've to wait several minutes for that, sometimes.
Re: web hosting
Well I would offer to host you for a small fee but my server is in LA so that might not be ideal for speeds still (atlantic speeds often cap to 150Kb/s) though you can give downloading this mix on my personal kief.net site a go and see how you fare.
There's a massive hosting center in .de that handles huge portions of Eu's hosting. Most of the people I know in eu that do IT & related work have at least a few of their servers there. The box I rent is from innohosting who also has a UK side (and so might work) but I chose them for reasons aside from just cost and would say they can be more expensive than the market average (though I've not had a problem in 4 years so I'm happy with what I chose.) I'll ask my friends for some hosting plans at that .de datacenter too when I get a chance, unless someone posts back here first.

Re: web hosting
Just checked the link. The download speed was close around 400kB/s using a download manager. 477MB have been downloaded in 19' and 43''. It's good considering my ISP average here.
Without dowload manager Firefox 3.6.8 on Xp sp3 completed the download in almost 1 hour and 20 mins; the average speed was widely oscillating around 124 kB/s. All this was between 9.00 and 10.40 PM local time (UTC+1, daylight saving).
My compliments for the music! I still listened at the first 15 mins only... Want you tell me more about?
About hosting:
Very kind of you; the idea of sharing hosting space could be an interesting solution; I'm considering your offer;
Maybe in this specific case -being the content of the website written in italian language- the partner should accept to share his hosting subscription having almost unknown content beside. Not everyone would agree that...

Re: web hosting
Valis thank you very much. I realize I was in extreme need of music with such a lot of variations, after a summer of Shakira and similar, reiterated several times a day, coming in from the beachCochise wrote:...My compliments for the music!

Re: web hosting
Oh thanks! Sorry I missed the earlier post. That was a studio mix that blends a healthy dose of Ableton, Serato (vinyl mixing), Traktor (desktop mixing with midi controllers), outboard synths and a bit of Scope+Bidule...I need to get back into doing mixes again! Been a rather hectic year so far...
On that note, Coldcut's 1995 JDJ mix is a good benchmark for how I like my mixes (varied) but I'm not quite the turntablist they are/were. There's ONE day left to download this mix if anyone is interested (trade an email address for it): http://www.ninjatunexx.com/
If you happen to miss this response Cochise and are interested I can probably send u this on the side, but I probably don't want to farm it out to all of the Z just out of respect to the Ninjas...

There are considerable rhythmic solutions, special FXs and more, in Science Session. I'm wondering about some piano parts...valis wrote:Oh thanks! Sorry I missed the earlier post.

I often think I should try something of that kind; one of the hindrances is: I don't feel exactly at my ease with loops and sounds databases; even with the music genres I use to work on, it ends up by trying to create sounds and drums parts from scratch, since it looks like harder to me to find something that suits the aim good enough. The databases I've checked till now are too poor, or too wide...
Doing everything from scratch, alone, is quite restrictive though, even for very skilled people... and I'm not.
From any point of view is kind of assembly programming vs object oriented languages with libraries...
I downloaded Coldcut's, I'm checking it...
Back to the topic, I'm not experiencing extreme troubles with my host any longer; at now download speed without management is below 50 KB/s during not critic hours. For now I just optimized the content reducing in size the bigger files (now I'm no longer sure about print quality for some PDF document, though).
I've some bad joke from my ISP instead in these days; from time to time no ADSL sync...
