  8. Unable to import or create schedules

    in Support Forum

    Posted

    Hi there.

    Today I tried to upload the first batch of routes for my VA (again after some updates). The only difference between how they were when I first uploaded them (when it worked) and now is the fact I added about 50 routes. So I checked the "delete all schedules" box as I uploaded them since I was replacing them all but this time when I clicked on Airline Schedules there were none to be seen. I then noticed all my airports from my airport database were gone as well and I couldn't upload those either. I had my COO test it as well and he couldnt get them either.

    Anyone have any clue how to fix this issue?

    Thanks!

  9. Virtual Airlines Needed is Web Hosting or Server Hosting?

    My point is: No virtual airline NEEDS anything more than a Shared Host(At worst, a reseller account) from a Reliable hosting company such as GoDaddy, BlueHost & A2Hosting. On top of that, unless you're really interested in spending more than $40-60/month, you should stick to shared hosting.

    Promotional Pricing or not...That's what the topic creator would pay if he chooses to go with Shared Hosting. Assuming he would sign up for a yearly plan.

    Perhaps you and I are differing on the reasoning behind our argument. I am not suggesting the possibility of a VPS because I think a VA needs the power. I am suggesting it because of the practicality of running multiple services on it. Either way a good VPS can be just as affordable as shared hosting if configured properly. I know this because I do it myself.

    At least you got an unbiased opinion from someone who DOESN'T run a 'hosting' company. *Cough* *Cough*

    So we are using all caps now? I am not sure why you are attacking me for giving my opinion, and quite frankly I think more than enough has been said to give the OP an idea of what they need. In terms of the hosting companies you just listed, their non-promotional prices for their cheapest shared hosting are as follows

    BlueHost: $7.99/m

    Godaddy: $7.99/m

    A2Hosting: $9.99/m

    Which btw are quite realistic prices considering they run expensive hardware, provide 24/7 support, and have plenty of included features. I didn't say these guys were kiddie hosts. I was referring to some of the companies we see popping up offering $0.99 /m shared hosting run off of a vps or what have you.

    Redundancy is something you mention, which is a big consideration. While you are valid in saying it is best to separate your services, servers such as a VPS from Linode is far more reliable in terms of uptime than you will get from most shared hosts, simply because of the higher vulnerability of a shared environment.

    Which circumstances are you talking about?

    I haven't really looked at that Linode box thing, but I can pretty much tell you won't be getting cPanel, which unless you know how to work with SSH - You're gonna need. Not to mention these are not "Real" private servers - And won't even perform close to the real thing.

    Also, $7 for a shared host is exaggerating. You can find a lot of the plans you need for as little as $3-5/month. Same for team speak, you can get what you need for less than $5.

    Bottom line, if your budget is less than $40 a month...Go Shared.

    As I stated, "for people that know what they are doing with a server". This would imply they have no need for cPanel. Perhaps you are getting VPS confused with a private cloud? As you said, you haven't really looked into companies like Linode, but from personal experience I have gotten far better performance from Linode than I have on many traditional VPS servers.

    You are right, it is rather easy to find shared hosting suitable for most VA websites for $3-5, however I am not including unregistered, kiddie host companies that don't know half of what they are doing. If you look at some of the more respectable companies, you are looking at around the $7 mark.

    I can't think of a single virtual airline that would need anything more than Shared Hosting...Some can run just fine on free hosts. Although the appeal of having a "Dedicated Server" looks nice, and sounds great - It's very much useless to a virtual airline and a waste of your funds.

    I know a client of mine used GoDaddy's shared hosting, and he managed to get 50k+ unique visitors in a month without a single bump on the road.

    For Teamspeak, just rent one out from another host. Don't waste your time+money setting one up in a VPS/Dedicated.

    I have to respectfully disagree in some circumstances. For people that know what they are doing with a server, a VPS can often be the cheaper option when choosing to run a web server and teamspeak etc. Of course, there will be pleanty of shared plans that can outperform a "cheap" vps, however I would much rather spend $10/m on a Linode box and throw my website and Teamspeak on there rather than pay $7 for shared hosting and another $5 - $10 for a Teamspeak where I have little to no control.

  17. FlightAware Schedule Pull

    in Paid Services

    Posted

    Hey guys,

    I am back after maybe about a year is it now? Anyways I still offer my schedule pull services. I am uploading an example. Basically, my system pulls flight data from a specified airline from flightaware, and puts it in a csv file for import into phpVMS. Pricing is negotiable, but my minimum fee is $5 per pull to cover my costs. Drop me a PM or email me at chase.morgan@kipplex.com and I will get you going. :) Cheers
