Directadmin reseller: HostBRR or NameCrane?
nameserver
Member
in General
I have both directadmin shared hosting with both of the provider, few each, now looking to replace all of them with a single reseller package and both provider offer.
HostBRR do 24USD per year for 50GB
NameCrane do 22USD per year for 20GB and 20ish for three year
Storage sin't to consider as both are enough, just looking at the price hostbrr is better but I care more about quality of service, uptime, support, etc. I'm haven't experienced support from either provider so I don't know much.
Thanks.

depends what you want to host.
in short, both are good for particular use-case. I'll recommend both to try. Fran (from NC) and Philip (labze from HB) both are active, attentive, and helpful.
In the recent time namecrane is having some problem, I don't have much experience with Hostbrr regarding hosting but I got their 500GB storage DA panel for $7.77 yearly.
Yes, 1hr and 8 minutes today. Not a problem for me I don't use it for business.
Funny, right after I posted screenshot above my website went down, I hope fran didn't see my comment and deleted my DA account
My shared hosting from namecrane shows
AuthenticAMD AMD EPYC 9654 96-Core Processor 4792.8
and on the budget reseller hosting it says High Performance Ryzen CPUs, but i can't find anything about LVE Limits.
I've only heard their email service has gone slow...
I'm on their EU email server and never had any issue.
I use SG shared web hosting, been more than a year, it has not been 100% stable, I moved to namecrane as a refugee offer got 50% recurring discount, I can always upgrade/downgrade as well. Paying about $7.5 for 15GB yearly I think so, don't remember.
nope. you read half. its
AuthenticAMD AMD EPYC 9654 96-Core Processor 4792.79 2396.398 MHz
what you read was BOGOMpis: BogoMips (from bogus and MIPS) is an unscientific measurement of CPU speed made by the Linux kernel when it boots.
Oh my bad, never knew that. Thanks.
right. majority of hosts irrespective of brand who have SG servers are not stable 100% of time. Even i had one with MyW, and some non-LE hosts in SG and that location itself has problems. wondering how! when all hosts use different DC in SG and so the carriers.
yup not a big problem still NC has beefy nodes and ample CPU at spare, so not to worry much for hosting general sites. You can try crates, You can get much better power with 2 or 3 or 4 CPUs if you need something too roomy and wanna host tons of sites.
Downtime reasons are different each time, MyW was more stable than Namecrane I can confirm this, been waiting for SG shared hosting to get stable from long time, however all my VPS in SG had/have great uptime.
I recently got storage VPS from greencloud, no trouble with uptime however HDD performance is VERY bad, because it is HDD.
Can confirm namecrane SG is just shit. Goes down multiple times in a day.
same experience with namecrane. i get downtime notification almost every day plus simple page builder takes ages to load.
If I may ask, why are you switching from plain shared to reseller?
bad day to ask for a review, LOL!
My SG reseller with HostBrr has been stable compared to Namecrane (have a shared with them also).
HostBrr also had issues initially, but I think they did a couple of migrations, and for the past year or so have been extremely stable for me
IDK about reseller, but im using brr cpanel shared for a year and couple months in eu, and that thing is fast and super stable. Only time i did file a ticket was firewall issue when i got blocked, and was resolved in +/- half hour..
Are there any active offers for HostBrr shared hosting? I am interested in EU location.
So you have SG reseller from each provider and Brr is more stable?
How are the recent times?
@SmokyHosts is awesome. Highly recommend their DA Reseller. Best deel!
@SmokyHosts share a current promo pls

That's fair, thanks for the honest feedback.
I'm hoping its going to be a smoother ride
We were planning to schedule a maintenance to upgrade to Cloudlinux 9, but the node locked up, rebooted, and the upgrade started running automatically. That was the 1 hour one someone mentioned at the start of the thread.
Its looking a lot better though, not seeing the 'process count creep' we've been suffering from for a while.
Fingers crossed.

Want to use my custom nameserver, thats all. Want to setup websites for my company and my peronal ones and others separtely, as currently they are all just in one shared hosting account.
Also it's just cool to use my own domain as nameserver in my personal view.
No, i just went with the current price.
Last time I checked they seems to be running on OVH server with DDR3 memory, so not really good in terms of performance...
I think they’re undersold. No issues for me
Put your NameCrane site on Hetrix Tools and see the poor uptime. Moved away all but one site. This is Las Vegas.
Last 24 hours uptime: 92.5000% (92.5000%)
Last 7 days uptime: 97.7877% (97.7877%)
Last 30 days uptime: 99.1227% (99.1227%)
@advinservers
I am surprised, someone looking into shared hosting worry about a DDR3 or a DDR5 RAM!
because DDR5 RAM is fast and most LE hosts offer them. Why go for a slower one? same with SSD vs NVMe and a higher clock speed CPU of 5.0GHz vs lower. It doesnt matter its shared or vps or dedi.
where did you move? and how is the new home?
I bought two hosting plans from NameCrane and Hostbrr in SG to test their uptime using a wp website.
The downtime on NameCrane rate is a bit higher than on Hostbrr. Sometimes, when there was a short downtime of a few minutes, both providers showed that their services were running on their uptime pages, but the website was not accessible. Because of this, to check the real website downtime, you may need to buy a plan and test it yourself.
I monitored my website using HetrixTools. With Hostbrr, I feel that cPanel is more stable than DirectAdmin. My test website on a shared DirectAdmin plan had small outages of 2–3 minutes almost every day, and one big outage of 1 hour and 30 minutes yesterday. On the other hand, the cPanel plan performed better, with only a small one-minute downtime five days ago.
Overall, I am satisfied with my current cPanel reseller hosting that I bought during Black Friday.
