View 5 RepliesI am currently researching into colocation hosting for a 1u rack server. i am looking for a cheapish host that can give me something around 10mbit line and idk how much bandwidth i need yet, but probably something over 300gig. Its to host counter strike source servers.
View 9 Replies View RelatedJust wondering if anyone can offer any thoughts on this. I'm currently in the process of setting up an Exchange frontend server which will (hopefully) be connected to two different connectivity providers.
On the two NIC's we have for example:
ISP1 - 1.1.1.1/24 with gateway 1.1.1.2
ISP2 - 2.2.2.1/24 with gateway 2.2.2.2
My assumption was that when a connection to the internet is required, providing the metric is set correctly, it would route from the NIC connected to ISP1. However if a connection came in from ISP2, it would note the interface that the connection came in on and reply on that interface (SMTP traffic), however I'm told this isn't right.
I have a small network at my colo provider.

I want to setup static routes on my servers so that my colo provider won't bill me for traffic among my servers.
I use FreeBSD 6 on my servers. I read the FreeBSD handbook on this and it looks like i should do this:
route add -net 0.0.0/24 0.0.0.3
where 0.0.0/24 is the C class I have from my provider and 0.0.0.3 is the IP address of my server (one of them/any of them).
However, this route appears to already exist as i get this error when running that route command:
route: writing to routing socket: File exists
add net 0.0.0: gateway 0.0.0.3: route already in table
Do I need to use a non-routeable ip block (eg 192.168.x.x) for this? Can I use "real"/routeable ips? Does FreeBSD take care of this for me automatically?
Sometimes in the Dedicated Hosting Offers section you see people ping the providers IP and can discover other companies they go through, or if they are a reseller. Im wondering how I can go about finding out this information as well?

I'm interested in getting a VPS (nothing too much - probably at least 5-10GB space / 30GB bandwidth) for a forum I run based in Australia. My budget is probably around $40/month. BTW I'm after managed.
My main issue is that I would like it to be a decent speed for Australia (specifically Melbourne). Where should a datacenter be located for Australia?
I'm moving to Australia in a few months, and I'm thinking of hosting a few of my sites down there.
What's the best place to buy domains and hosting in Australia? Should I buy it seperate or from the same company?
I have used VPSland.com before and was very happy with everything except bandwidth speed. If i ping the server, I get around 198 to 220ms response. VPS is hosted in USA, and I live in Auckland, New Zealand. www.vpsland.com
I am planning on starting my own personal business, which is going to be relatively small to start of with... I wanted to purchase a VPS to host my website as well as host few other websites for clients if required. I will be running typo3 content management system with mysql database. I wanted the response time to be better than VPSland.com.
The companies I have explored in NZ are 3 times more expensive than VPSland. I wanted a server which has around 300mb ram or so. Would prefer Windows 2003, if not Linux.
Please recommend me which VPS provider I should go with? I suppose it should be based in Australia or New Zealand as the traffic will be national mostly. or even USA or UK or any other country which provides good response time for NZ visitors and has competitive prices?
My budget is around $20 - 30 US max
if there are any data centers in Australia...
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was wondering what people in Australia use with regards to Dedicated Server companies. Do you go local in Australia or are overseas companies just as good?
If local what do you guys use? If overseas, where do you get the fastest bandwidth to Australia, etc.
I've just purchased 6 domain names.
3 x .com
2 x .info
1 x .net
The sites will be viewed mostly by an American audience. I've already decided that the hosting package should be a VPS as this fits my budget.
My question is whether I should host these domains in the States or my location, in Australia? My concerns are:
- If I host in Australia, will the States experience a lag in site loading
- Prices in Australia seem to be cheaper
- If hosted in Australia will it have a negative effect on how the site is ranked on American search engines such as google.com
i just wrote a nice little page on the best location in the US for a VPS server for my Australian and New Zealand customers,

I have a VPS located in LA, USA.
For over a week now I have had the following network issues:
- browser timing out (for me and visitors to my site)
- ftp connection issues
The server load is low so it's not server related.
Traceroute TO the server appears fine.
Traceroute FROM the server to users IP's appears to have issues over the SingTel/Optus network.
My webhost says it's an issue for SingTel/Optus.
SingTel/Optus Engineer say:
"Our testings point to a problem either within Cogent's network or on a peering link between Cogent and Singtel in LA.
I'd suggest that the owner of the domain (me!) approach his hosting provider and have them escalate to Cogent. We can't escalate to Cogent as we have no peering with them."
So I've been the meat in the sandwich for over a week with no sign of a fix.
My options appear to be to either move the VPS away from the webhost and host it locally (Australia) or to somehow wait for someone to step up and take responsiblity and get this resolved.
My heart says wait as it's not *my* responsibility but it's costing me financially and professionally.

new Colo provider in Seattle to replace the one that we currently have. My company runs game servers.
I'm looking for an affordable location that can provide the best support possible for the price. Typically the only thing that we need is someone to reboot a server periodically, so if someone offers remote reboots that would be ideal. I'd like to start out with a single 1U server to make sure that we like the location and network before expanding. We'd use about 5 Mbit/sec per server approximately.

I am trying to find out if one of our old company servers is still with them (was in their cabinet), and if a backup could be retrieved for a fee.

The site to the left, is network 10.0.0.0/24 which runs a linux server as the router for the network.
The site to the right, is network 10.1.0.0/24 which runs a windows 2003 server as the router for the network.
Now, my problem is, the clients behind the windows 2003 server can ping any machine on the first network because i setup a static route to route all traffic to 10.0.0.0/24 over the vpn interface.

It seems that from the morning the servers in seattle dc of softlayer are not responding from all locations. According to softlayer noone else has reporting this issue yet, however yet from our monitoring system this has been occuring for the past two hours.
Few clients around the world also reported this, however apparently for other few this is working. Is anyone else having the same issue?
I'm trying to find decent dedicated server providers in Seattle that run peer1 or internap - I've seen a couple good providers in Seattle however the tracert's don't seem to agree with a few locations.
I know of SPRY, Softlayer and then UbiquityServer which seemed really good minus their carrier (my tracert's go to san jose then seattle (I'm in Canada) along with a few other people on the west coast.

I want to colo a 1U server, would like a 100mbit port, and 1.5TB of transfer or 2mbit (95th percentile)
My budget is $75/month.
I do not need much bandwidth usage, may be just couple G a month.
want the CPU is good.
If you have a server that is not used and willing to give me a better price since I use little bandwidth.
We are looking to install hardware barriers for caged spaces.
We were hoping not to use cyclone fencing.
