Hostgator Web Hosting Review

I have (not for much longer) a Hostgator reseller account.  I've now transitioned the last of 30+ sites away from them.  Reasons? They were purchased by a large conglomerate, moved datacenters and ever since the performance has been abysmal.  Night and day since the changes.  Need more proof? This is the response time graph for the last site I moved away from Hostgator.  Can you guess where on the graph it occurred?

Switching Windows 8 from AHCI to ATA/IDE or reverse

I was having Intel Rapid Storage Technology RST issues with a newly installed drive...did not need performance so switched BIOS to RAID auto/ ATA to eliminate the Intel RAID controller usage

• Run msconfig (right click far left bottom corner of desktop then left click run, type msconfig).
• Click boot tab, mark safe boot, restart, change to AHCI in BIOS, boot, Windows boots in safe mode.
• Run msconfig again, boot tab unmark safe boot, restart PC.

ok - after scouring the developer boards I found this courtesy of ForestMountain (http://bugs.owncloud.org/thebuggenie/owncloud/issues/oc-755):

"I have found that you can change this

Linux (Fedora 16): /home/<username>/.local/share/data/ownCloud/folders/ownCloud

Windows7: c:\users\<username>\App Data\Local\ownCloud\folders\ownCloud

Edit the ownCloud file with a normal texteditor. Writing targetPath=/ will reflect the localpath"

delete large number of files quickly

windows 7 webdav

Connecting Windows 7 to a WebDAV location requires the user to change a simple setting in the Windows Registry. For example, when connecting an ownCloud WebDAV, it simply isn't as straight forward as using a Linux box

The first thing that you need to do is locate your ownCloud or other WebDAV location. The WebDAV location in ownCloud is found by clicking the gear icon on the lower-left of the page and then Personal. Keep that address handy. Next, open up the Windows Registry with the Run command  - Windows + R then type in regedit.

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\BasicAuthLevel

Change the BasicAuthLevel from 1 to 2. Close the Registry and open up the Services window (Windows + R thenservices.msc). Navigate to the WebClient service and Restart.

Next, open up Windows Explorer (not the web browser) and Map Network Drive. Input the WebDAV address and Login with different credentials. When the dialog pops up, enter your username and password for the WebDAV location. You're done!
