We host a huge image host that is spread across 3 dual xeon machines on 100mb unmetered machines.
Each machine uses up about 12-15TB a month and we need more.
I've seen some sales lately with 8 core machines on 1gb unmetered ports.
We don't need management but we do need a SLA as we are going to put all of our "eggs" in one "basket".
My question is: can you guys recommend a cheap 1gb unmetered provider?
We will need a 8 core machine with 8gb ram and at least 2x1TB drives and we will use at least 80TB a month of bw (80% out going and 20% in going).
I tried OVH but seems they cap it at 100mbs average which isn't good enough.
Also looked at FDC but seems the prices are 3xtimes more then EU based machines.
I'm ok with EU/US machines as customers are from US and EU.
I currently have godaddy dedicated server and the 100mbps connection is shared with other servers, and I pay about $120 a month. I normally get an average of 30mbps out of it. Do you guys know of any cheap hosting companies that offer dedicated servers with a 1Gbps shared connection? And the main point I'm trying to get to is, do you guys know of any web hosts that would be faster than an average of 30mbps, even if they're only 100mbps shared connections? I'd really appreciate any potential hosts you guys can direct me to that are pretty fast.
I'm investigating "suspects" that could be used in a server access environment. My requirements are:
*24 or 48 10/100/1000 Mbps Ports *Atleast 2 x 1000Mbps uplinks (fiber preferred) *SNMP-enabled for remote bandwidth polling @ ports and uplinks *Simple Layer 3 allowing for per port rate limiting VLAN creation support would be a plus, but not required
The switch needs to be able to handle ~1000Mbps of constant usage
I would be open to using non-Cisco switches as well.
This is probably a dumb question, but I've been curious about something. While shopping around for either a cheap dedicated server (less than $75/mo) or a cheap colo for a 1u server, I have noticed that the cheap dedicated servers are often less than a cheap colo, which seems odd to me since with a colo you bring your own machine.
For example, Sago Networks has cheap dedicateds for $50, $59, $79 etc. yet their cheapest colo option is $99. For Sago's $50 dedicated you get 1000GB transfer and 2 IP's, and with their $99 colo you get only get 100 GB transfer and 1 IP.
And Sago is not unusual in this respect. I've priced other providers that fall into this category and they have similar differences.
So why is colo more expensive than dedicated for similar, if not lower, features?
I am trying to have vps because I have 130 websites in shared server.
My current reseller account has WHM/Cpanel, WHMReseller installed. - no ssh access
I think need VPS + Unmetered shared reseller(currently have one) for 2 reaseons. 1. backup/restore 2. Disk space
1. backup/restore ======================= I had a problem with hosting company, so I had to move all 130 websites in 12 hours without ssh access in both old/new server. (can you imagine?) New server admin helped me, but their response were so late, so I want to do it my self. Also, I need one more server that can immediately be switched if hosting company blowup everything. (hosting will be my life line)
2. Disk space ========================= All 130 websites are smaill size cloned websites (1mb~20mb) because I sell cloned websites with hosting. I have unmetered space/bandwidth reseller plan now, so I can provide 5bg-10gb space for each customer. (they use only 1-20mb though) If I have vps(15-30GB plan), I won't have enough space if, some clients really use 5GB space. So I may move clients who use big space to my unmetered shared reseller account.(currently have one) In other words, vps- many small sized websites unmetered - big sized websites (a few)
I may need only one vps, but it's too much overselling if I give 5GB to each client. (that's why I have to connect vps to my current hosting). Am I wrong?
I have no idea how to make this concept works.
I see many ebay sellers who sell unmetered hosting, and they have 2-5 datacenters and backup servers....etc.
Also, how can people generage a bunch of ips? Is it one of the function in vps?
Last question- Does it back up all sub-account if I do full backup reseller's cpanel?
I was looking at a VPS plan that offered unmetered bandwidth on a shared 100mbit/s port. I thought it was a bit suspicious because it was at a very low price--but would this be what it means?
100mbit/s converts to 0.125 megabytes per second = 7.5mb/min = 450mb/hour = 10,800mb/day ~ 334,800mb/month = 334.8gb/month
Would that mean that I would be getting less than 334.8gb of bandwidth a month, but it's just filtered through to make sure I don't go over?
if a site is getting around 50,000 unique visitors a month and using up 1TB of bandwith, what type of unmetered server should i get ? would 100mbps be right ? also if you could post them here with cost, i will check it out.
what kind of incoming and outgoing bandwidth should i be able to consume from FDC?
Im getting about 60KB down and 500KB up.
further since i havent been able to hold the number of radio slots I used to I feel like something is not right, i seem to get normal ping and traceroute but noticed that an mtr router displays some sort of odd results, am I reading this correctly?
seems like there is always a couple of hosts with a ton of packet loss. how can i tell if there is some kind of problem here? the server worked great for 6 mos and now it just seems like it never has come back .......
I've currently got around 10 dedicated servers for the MMORPG we run, 3 of which act as patch distribution servers / download servers.
The patch distribution servers are fairly low spec (Single CPU, 1-2GB RAM, 250GB HDD), but connect through a 100MB unmetered port - all of these are currently in the EU.
I'm now looking at a USA patch server, but not sure where to look. The only provider that springs to mind is FDC Servers but not sure how good they are these days. I don't mind if the provider is on the East or West coast (or even Central), but they must provide 100MBps unmetered (shared is fine).
Currently paying around $100-$200 for each other patch server, so would ask that $200-250 is the limit.
if anyone can suggest a couple reputable companies based in Canada, that offer a dedicated server with 100 mbps unmetered bandwidth. Budget is ideally around 1500.
(I posted a while back about 60TB/month, and got some great replies, that was a different project)
Someone mentioned corenetworks.net in one of the posts, so I went to look at them, then checking out the options, it got me thinking about this, what is the difference/what does it mean?
Unmetered Bandwidth Options vs. Metered Bandwidth Options?
Unmetered 3Mbps/month +$0.00
Metered 1,000GB/month +$0.00
So, are they saying that I can get 3Mbps 24/7 for an entire month for no extra, or 1,000GB total transer at? Mbps (I would assume 10Mbps or 100Mbps depending on the setting.)?
Ok, so I am trying to answer my own question...
Let me just ask it. What's the difference?
They have an Unmetered @ 10Mbps for $350.00/month, but come on... Is it "really" unmetered? (Just like those shared "unlimited transfer" type accounts, where they hack you off at the knees when you go past their invisible "unlimited" number.
What is the diference between metered and unmetered bandwidth. I was looking a one provider that I will not name and they have 1Mbps metered for $109 and then they offer 10Mbps unmetered for $139. To me unmetered sounds like a better deal. Is there something that I am not knowing or seeing between the two?
I got a question about shared unmetered bandwidth offerings. Currently we specialise in Dedicated Unmetered bandwidth offers but also offer metered.
we see an increase in demand for shared unmetered, with some minor guarantees of troughput. Much in the style of FDC servers. We are toying with the idea, to add a shared unmetered service thats overbooked 1/4 (100 mbit) or 1/6 (gigabit).
The questions.
1. Are these overbooking rates reasonable? it looks like other companies roughly have these overbooking factors.
2. What kind of hardware should be bundle with such an offer? obviously its the bargain hunter category (no pun intended) that we would try to appeal to. Would that mean generally lower end servers like ATOMs?
recently i got this 2 website for dedicate server both are given such a cheap price which i can afford but i dont know about this site i also search hear i dont find any bad information about this 2 servers. but one thing i saw unmeteredservers has 24/7/365 live chat help which i think more comfortable with me on other side burstnet gives same configuration in low rate but they dont have live chat support so i want to know which server is best
I'm currently doing close to a 25,000 daily unique average on my site and coming close to 12TB or monthly bandwidth transfer. With most DS Hosting services, I would usually be offered virtual rack solutions with multiple machines that would help raise my monthly limit but it would be greatly cost effective if I just stuck with one powerful server that offers unmetered bandwidth at a great price.
