Best Place To Rent A Quarter Rack

May 16, 2007

Who can you all recommend for renting out a quarter rack? Up until now, we've simply leased our servers, but we're ready to buy the things and ship 'em off. We have 4 servers we would like to rack - Two dual xeon 2.8's with 2gb ram, and two P4 3.6's with 2gb ram. I'm looking for US racking (but other locations, if you can highly recommend them, are fine). I'm looking for about 2TB Monthly Transfer per server - so about 8TB on a reasonably fast and reliable network.

Good Place To Get A 1/4 Rack? [UK]

Mar 5, 2008

where about I can get a decent 1/4 rack for a couple server's I'll be using and selling. I was thinking BlueSquare or Savvis. Blue square would be decent, although I don't see a price scheme on there website.

Poundhost, who are in the BSQ have been the most "attractive" to me. The rack is £260/month although It has a few thing's I would need more of and not sure if they offer it.

1) I will need atleast 50 IP Adress's

2) I want 20,000GB transfer on the rack, so each server get's 2000gb.

I was wondering also these question's:

1) Do I have to go to the datacenter personally, or can I send the server's down with a courier?

2) Is there a way on a rack, to limit each server to a set ammount of bandwith?

I'm asking these question's as I've never had a rack before, nor colocation, It's usually been dedicated. I've been looking to get atleast 50% of them quad core server's and hope they would sell like hotcakes.

High Density Rack/colocation (~10 KW/rack)

Dec 6, 2007

With all the high power servers/blade servers, the 40A (@ 110V) power limit is way too small. I am wondering if there is any colo space targeted for high density application, e.g. with 10 KW/cab limit for 60A @ 208V power drops. Does anybody know of such high density colocation space? East coast is preferred.

Dedicated Server For Rent

May 25, 2008

I have a high end 8 core server with SAS drives and 10mbit burstable premium bandwidth that I am no longer using. However, I have locked myself in an agreement that I cannot get out of for another 13 months. As an individual, am I allowed to offer the server to others on these boards as a dedicated server?

Why Colocate When You Can Just Rent A Server

Jun 5, 2008

colocate because you have sites the size of myspace or because you offer dedicated server hosting yourselves? Because if I have the choice of renting a high end server at ThePlanet for $200 per month, or pay $300 a month for only bandwidth and just to have my server sit there in their facility, I rather rent. Plus I read a few posts in this forum where you guys say that you spend hours in the colocate. Does your server require that much maintenance or what are you doing?

UK Dedicated Server Options - Rent Or Buy?

Jul 28, 2008

Have been snooping on these forums for a while and doing my research but now I need some advice. Hope you can help...

I currently have a dedicated server with 1&1 hosted in Germany and running 15-20 small company/friend websites. Whilst I have been reasonably happy with 1&1 (mainly down to their dashboard and reboot/restore/serial console functionality and prices), it's time for an upgrade. I am also looking to move back to the UK in order to get a UK based IP and slightly reduced latency, I understand I will have to pay a little more for the luxury!

I'm looking at a dedicated server with the following specs:

- Single Dual/Quad Core Processor
- Min 2GB RAM
- Min 2 x 160GB HDD + Hardware RAID 1
- 2TB data/month should be OK
- CentOS 5 (other *nix?)
- Plesk (cPanel?)
- 10GB NAS Backup
- Remote Reboot Port

Budget is around £100/month. At the moment it's between UK2, WebFusion, UK Servers, Poundhost, RapidSwitch and 34sp. I need to get quotes from DediPower, UK Fast & UK Dedicated...

The other main option is to buy a reasonably-specced Dell PowerEdge R200 (or equivalent?) and colo it. A machine with Quad Core Intel Xeon X3320, 2.5GHz, 2x3MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB, 2GB RAM, 2 x 250GB HDD, RAID 1 would cost about £700. Add colo from RapidSwitch and a Plesk license and the total is around the same as the best dedi offer.

Would welcome your thoughts on the benefits and pit-falls of renting vs. buying and recommendations for each based on my preferences. At the moment I'm swaying towards the buy and colo option as costs in year two will me much lower and I can resell/upgrade the hardware, but perhaps I'm missing something...

How Do You Delete The Script / Important Database Data If You No Longer Rent A Server

Apr 24, 2009

I would like to know how to delete the script/important database data on a server in case of no longer rent it.

I will cancel a server in the coming month, but there are some critical password hardcode in my script. I am afraid it's not safe if only use a command liked "rm"

However, it's seem that it's not possible for me to format the HDD or run a fill zero software.

How To Place Ads At Top Of All Pages

May 22, 2008

I want to provide hosting with ads at the top of all pages but I don't want to deal with those "free hosting" scripts. I can set up the accounts manually, as it's a small and focused group I would be providing it to. I understand there is a simple way to place ads at the top of all the web pages on the server. Anyone know about this, can clue me in on how it's done?

I'm running CentOS with cPanel/WHM.

Where is the best place to purchase servers & other hardware in the UK?

Also I know very little in Linux, enough to do certain tasks although I usually have Cpanel loaded to do 90% of tasks.

Is it easy enough to load a server from scratch? also are there any places where you can get pre-setup / configured distro images?

or Can servers be purchased from anywhere already pre-setup / configured? with a linux distro?

we use 1/2 rack and only about 2mb/s bandwidth.... we currently host near NYC, but find that we never go to the datacenter anyway, so why pay for the convenience?

BlackLotus.net It's Place For Scammers

Unfortunately they don't answer abuse reports.

Moreover, if you'll contact them about hosting for ChildPorn,HYIP or similar BLACK content they'll redirects you to sister site blccgold.com for the BLACK hosting services, just ask them.

Www.geekrack.net Is The WORST PLACE EVER

Mar 1, 2008

On Feb 21 I ordered a dedicated server with geekrack.com So when i got my server, i had asked them to have it portioned a specific way, but it was not set up like that So, when i asked them to have it reportioned and reimaged to the way I asked to have it set up, they tried to charge me $30.00. I told them that it was a unfair charge, so they did the good thing and dropped the charge for it. I submited that ticket on Feb 24, and the owner told me that this will be taken care of by the next morning. So, i gave it 24 hours, more time than they said, and it still was not done. I called them and they assured me that they were working on this issue. I gave it another 48 Hours, and still nothing was done. I found out that they were a reseller through burst.net, so i called burst.net to see if they had a ticket for this to be done, and the support tech I talked to told me that a ticket had not even been submitted! So when i spoke with the owner of geekrack.net, she got all grumpy with me and said she was going to yell at burst.net because they were not supposed to release any information. I told her that i would want my money back because their service says that it comes with 24/7 support. Now i was not even getting support, unless you call support saying, "ok we will do this" and not doing nothing. The owner is still refusing to give me a refund, so I have filed a chargeback with paypal, as much as I hate to do that, i beleive it is the only way i will get my money back. So in closing, DO NOT BUY FROM GEEKRACK.NET UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SCREWED!

Where Is The Best Place To Put 300 Permanent Redirects

Is Google A Good Place To Host?

Aug 27, 2008

I have agreed to rework my boss's storage rental facility website which means I will basically be starting over.

He's always trying to pinch pennies and suggested Google might be a good place to host the site.

From what I can tell, it looks like once you have your domain you pay $10 to host with Google them but it looks like a subdomain setting. For instance, my boss currently has a website called toeholdings.com and he's hosting with google. When I type in the toeholdings.com it redirects to http://partnerpage.google.com/toeholdings.com

If he's trying to get more traffic to this new website, won't that bury him since it appears to be a subdomain? I'm not completely sure what Google is doing here. It looks like beta version.

Does anyone know if their system includes website templates and software to help you build a site?

Alternative Host To Use In Place Of Site 5

Jul 1, 2008

Does anybody know of any other hosts that have the multi site function that site 5 has? This allows you to add multiple domains under one account without having to use domain pointers. They are pretty close to loosing me as a customer with the current control panel debacle they have going on. So I was curious to see if any other host out there offers the same thing.
