Boston Co-Location
Jun 5, 2007
Co-Location / Dedicated hosting but it wouldn't work out as I didn't live close enough. Well I'm moving into boston (Wentworth) for college so now I'm looking at renting a Dedicated Server or a Co-Location spot and was wondering if anyone on here worked in boston at a data center or had any to recommend. I'm also looking to get sometype of internship / job at one as that's the field im studying at Wentworth.

Is there any datacenters near Boston that sell colocation? I'm looking around for places, and I would like to get a server in Boston if possible.

Just a question about hosting your site in the same country where your main targeted visitors is located. It is my belief that I should host my sites in the same country where I the targeted visitors are. Am I correct in saying this??
So..
US Focus Site should be hosted in the US
Canadian Focus Site should be hosted in Canada
And UK Focus Site would be hosted in the UK??????

We are currently hosting a cabinet of servers in our office, looking at adding about another 3/4 of a cabinet worth of servers in a next couple of months. The office is in the Boston area, and we currently are using Verizon for both the loop and bandwidth.
While this is working fairly well, we are starting to look at colo options. We would like to stay in the Boston area, but do not have much experience with the local options.
We have two main questions:
1) What data centers are considered good in Boston?
2) Is it worthwhile to consider resellers once you exceed a full cabinet?

Can anyone recommend a good colo facility in Boston area? A top blend of bandwidth providers are key.

I live in New England, Cambridge, Mass. I looked through many colocation offers and companies here in Boston but compared to NY/NJ area, where i have 1/2 colo, prices here are "insane" (hign). Paying 90$ for 1mbps compared to 13-17$ in NY/NJ is too high.
So i searched for other options here in my area. 1-2-3 hour drive from me and found
[url]
I did try to contact them by email only yet, just to check if they are legit. No reply so far, after 7 days. I emailed 4 times from diff emails.
Will call them next week or so. I just think i need to give them time to celebrate Halloween and get drunk so they can do their job properly the rest of the year.. ))
Did anybody hear anything about them? I did try the search box but it gives nothing back. I also tried google but no info about prices so far as well.
Anybody from Boston there to offer something good?
Here is what i get in NJ:
1/2 (23U) rack, power included, 10mbps (95%), IP: 2x C classes + 32 IP. I pay 775$ for that.

I'm considering moving into the Marley Group data center at One Summer Street in downtown Boston. I'm looking for customer reviews. Their sales response has been terrible. They take forever to respond. I've heard that their operations response is very good.

I have a VPS and when I signed up I was told by the provider that the server was based in a UK datacentre. However, I've just done a search on the IP address for my VPS and it comes up as 'The IP address is assigned to France'.
Does this mean the server's actually located in France?

I am leaving waveform.net and am currently looking for a 1u colo around Boston.
The server is for email and a few personal websites. I don't have the exact bandwidth requirement because 1. no actual bandwidth usage was stated in my monthly invoice, and 2. my server is down right now, so I can't extract any bandwidth data from it. My guesstimate is less than 50GB per month. I should have a better estimate when I get the server back from them. May be I should post this after that but I would like to give myself a head start in checking out the possibilities. (Server has been down for 2 weeks now and I really want it back up a.s.a.p)
The requirements are very simple:
1. Around Boston (or within reasonable driving distance).
2. Easy access to the server (need not be 24/7, only need to do this if there is hardware issue).
3. If possible, serial console access.
4. And (of course) reasonable pricing.
Currently, I am inclined towards netriplex, but am open to other suggestions.
For this kind of "small fly" colo, is it advisible to give quotecolo a try?

what does it mean?
right now i am under the impression, i can buy a server from dell or so for say $1200 - $3000, and then pay like 20 - 50 to have them placed at a datacenter with a dedicated internet line and all that?
if that is true, can i take my equipment at home (making sure there the right size box, obviously im guessing , dc's do not take full towers to be placed), and send them out?
I am thinking that this way, I can load linux, or whatever OS on it, install whatever extensions I need, do whatever, and have a dedicated server to my self for less then 50$ /month.
What happens when it fails? do they send it back to you? i would like that, since I can recover my files and stuff.
People dont do this because:
1) parts are not warrantied
2) its too costly and time consuming to load them with control panels and security software/hardware.

I have some idea of what it is, I make contract with a data center and have my server located on their place.
What I need to know about is, how does all of the fees work, and what does some of this stuff means?
- 1u vs. Full rack vs. cabinet vs. tower
- BGP network
- what is Bandwidth billed on port speed or on 95th percentile.
- Tier 1 and Tier 2, and the Level 3 label
- Amp Needed
- Installation (Is this the process of connecting the server with wires and power, or is
this also software installation?)
- What other costs are there?
Thank you anyone who can help. If you have an article with this kind of info, I be happy.
I will try to find this info on my own, but I might not find everything I need to know so I am also asking it from here.
Regards,
Hsb.

I'm interested in experiences and recommendations for colocation companies in areas outside the US, namely:
South America/Central America
Eastern Europe/Russia
China/Japan
Australia
Middle East/Israel
Canada
I'm sure there are only a few of you with experience here, so I'm very interested in what your experiences were/are.

I live in Turkey. I'm gonna buy a reseller package from Hostgator which is located in Texas. I will mostly make websites in English language for business(affiliate websites) but I decided to make 2 websites in Turkish language for a hobby of mine. Should I buy hosting from a company in Europe or can I still go with Hostgator? I really like Hostgator's package but how much disadvantage would there be in terms of speed? Would people be able to tell by speed whether the server is close or not? Is there a way to test it? All my friends' computers have a speed around 100kb download per second.

We have two servers, one in our office, and the other in a colocation. There is a site-to-site VPN connection between them. I want to add the server in the office as a network place/drive to the server in the colocation, but I can't get it to work. I tried putting the local ip of the server in the office, didnt work.
Then I tried OFFICESERVERNAMESHARENAME and that didnt work either.
Office Server Local IP: 192.168.0.202
Colocation Local IP: 192.168.1.2

A quick question:
Does it matter where my Host is located?
Personally, I live in Scandinavia so would buying a hosting from a company located in the US (all across the Atlantic) in any way affect my site?

I've noticed that several VPS providers note the actual location of the servers.
Does the location really matter?

Anyone know of a listing of hosting companies based on the location of their offices? I don’t care where their servers are but I would like to know that I am dealing with a company that is local. (By the way, I live in the northern part of Virginia and I consider metro DC and all of Virginia to be local.)

I have a local server named as 'EPBX' which monitors the working of the telephone system and makes their log entries. Recently its HDD partition got crashed due to which it was formatted and had re-installed Windows server 2003 after which I am facing some problems as given below:
- The IP address assigned to this server is 192.168.100.2. I am able to ping the IP but unable to take the console of the software from some other local PC.
- Also when I try to trace the IP using the tracert command first it resolves to the ISP's router and then to the server. But the router is not at all asigned a local IP. I have assigned a global IP to it. (Screen shot of the same has been attached)
- It would be very difficult for me to change the IP address

i.What is the best Os in your opinion, preferably an open source=lower expenses and licensing
ii.What should you look for when looking for a provider e.g power/bandwidth and how would go about doing that? Can these providers give international coverage?
iii.What is your best estimet of cost it would take to build a 3U rack server with firewall..switches the whole lot?
iv.Do you find that your servers are extremely noisy?
v.What is your recommened network topography works best with these servers e.g start, ring,bus etc?

With my New York location settling in, I'm now looking for a new host to Co-Locate with in Texas.
We host game servers, so I'm looking for premium bandwith. We currently host with softlayer, and I couldn't be happier, but we really need to cut the costs of renting hardware.
I know that Texas has numerous options for co-location, but before I search through hundreds of sites, I thought I would ask here first.
I'm trying to build a list of 5-10 hosts so I can send off for quotes.
Anyways, here are the details of what I need, any assistance is always appreciated.
Looking for:
2U (2 x 1U servers)
2-3 Amps Per Server
6mbps
Ideal Price: $150/month - $300/month
I figure this is a safe price range in Texas

It's in the same directory with access_log
I think it's /usr or /etc something
How to use a find command to find files containing the letter log anyway?

I have never tried co-location before, I was looking at the 10U co-location with a 10Mbit/s unmetered port [url]
What I wanted to know was if anyone has had experience with LiquidWeb in general and more important with their co-location facilities?
I'm in the U.K. - what couriers do you guys use to ship your server(s), I assume it can be quite costly?
Does anybody have any other recommendations for co-location providers? I'm also looking at co-location in the U.K. but with more expensive bandwidth etc I'm thinking its best off hosting my servers in the USA as I do with most of my dedicated.
Another question - where do you buy your hardware/servers from (looking at places in the UK)?

I am in the process of finding a host for my website (as I am not very happy with the current one).
My statistics shows that most of my visitors are from Europe and Asia and not much from US.
My question is, should I think of a host in Europe or Asia?
does it actually make a lot of difference where is your host located ?
