BurstNET or FDCServers for unmetered bandwidth?
I'm talking about the 100mbit shared bandwidth, who would you reccomend for this fdc or burstnet?
Also do you have any other solutions for cheap bandwidth as I'm trying to open a file hosting website like rapidshare and I'm looking for the cheapest bandwidth.
dedicated server for my PHP/MySQL browser game. I've been working with CentOS 5/cPanel on my current server and I have no reason to change as it works very nicely. However I can only push 1500tb traffic per month with my current server and ideally I want to be able to push up to 5000-6000tb. Does anyone know of any reliable hosts with good uptime that provide high bandwidth packages such as FDCservers 100mbit Unmetered servers. I recently requested a custom quote from FDC but they never got back to me, would you recommend them?

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
Its a video and picture sharing website for India.
In the first 1-2 months, I will need around 250GB storage and 2TB bandwidth per month. After that, I will need much more. I have no idea how much I bandwidth may need. So I may go to a 50Mbps unmetered bandwidth; to limit my bandwidth cost.
My budget is around $400 per month. I want to have server(s) in west coast as it will be closer to India.
I have narrowed down to FDCServers and AlphaRed; as they both offer unmetered bandwidth for cheap. I will start with metered bandwidth and then go to unmetered bandwidth when my bandwidth demands exceeds.
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?
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?
i want to know any datacenter that offer 10 Mb or 100Mb port unmetered cogent bandwidth.
Do you know any?
It is for an image hosting file service.
What are the advantages and disadvantages to buy unmetered or fixed bandwidth dedicated?
For burstnet unmetered does it guarantee to have some good bandwidth or it can be very very slow at peak times?
I can find about the same price almost 2TB/month or 10mbps unmetered.
i finally ordered my first dedicated server -previously i had a vps. I ordered at theplanet.com an unmetered 10 mbps - dedicated server but i am now confused, about how much bandwidth 10 mbps really represent?
10 mbps = 3.300 gigas?
20 mbps = means how many gigas?
and the 100 mbps = means how many gigas?
I have a alexa 12.000 site with adult videos that is getting more and more traffic, thats why i decided to get unmetered but stupidly i thought 10 mbps was a lot of more than only 3.3 teras : ( so 20 and 100 mbps means how many gigas?
I am going to pay at ThePlanet for this 10 mbps unmetered connection $200 plus $ 109 for the server pentium 4 512 ram.
i need unmetered bandwidth about 100mbps (may need to upgrade) where do you recommend

Has anyone been trying hosting with Exmasters.com?
I am hosting a few websites with my host, powweb.com (shared hosting). Now I am thinking to go for an adult xxx website, and my host is not ready to host an adult website with them, and thus, I am looking for a new host now.
Things are:
1. I have very little knowledge about server management, as till now my shared host was doing everything, so I may need a host who offers a completely managed hosting, including backups, security, etc (just as a shared host would do).
2. I need a host that allows extreme adult contents.
3. The site will be a new one, but I am planning to go for offline marketing and hoping that I will get a good amount of visitors. Also the site will offer online movies. Taking these things into consideration, I am thinking that I may need a host that offers unmetered bandwidth.
I would like to get some tips from you guys, and if any of you know a good host, thanks for letting me know as well.
Looking for a dedicated unmetered server to stream movies and audio for over 500 visitors a day. Anybody knows any place that is good?
Also, what kind of hardware specifications would be OK for me - in terms of speed and memory? And would we be OK with a 10mbit port or 100?
Would I survive on a dedicated server with a shared bandwidth?
Im running my own file host, and in the past few days its just blown up in traffic. I current have "Intel Core2Quad Q9650" package from Limetone. 3ghz Quad, 8GB Ram, 1TB HD, 10TB BW.
I need something that has either unmetered or 30TB+ bandwidth. It should be on 100mbps lines too.
The closest thing I have found are FDCnetworks
Any other companies like FDC with 100mbit shared unmetered bandwidth?
I need a shared 100mbit unmetered bandwidth server like FDC.
But i am looking for a better company that offers management aswell.
My price range is $200/month where FDC fits in.
I used Burstnet dedicated service for more than 2 months & would like to post a review here:
Initially I ordered a server before two months from Burstnet, Burstnet (Nocster) took more than a week to setup. After waiting for a week I got the server. Never received remote reboot port , though they billed me for it every month.
Initially it was working fine. After 7 days approx , my server was inaccessible , I added a support ticket to reboots & got reply that my server was suspended due to lack of reply of the abuse warnings they sent me , while I had got an abuse alert before a day informing me about spam mails somebody sent from a vps, I had already replied to the alert that I suspended the vps of spam mail user & had also got email from Burst saying: " Thank you for taking the time to contact the BurstNET Abuse Dept.
BurstNET in no way condones any spam related........"
it was confirmed that they had received my reply for abuse alert. I informed them this in ticket, they replied they did not receive any reply from me. I provided them email headers & it was clearly showing that the mail was delivered to burst, later they said that the mail was delivered but was not reached to their support desk & they reactivated my server. There was 5 - 6 hrs down time , while there was no fault from me.
See the screen shots below: ....
Just to let you know about fdcservers.net, they were great and i've payed for my VPS about three hours ago and i'm managing the server right now. I would like to thank their personnel for this quickly setup!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI had no problems with FDC and they were great at getting my server up with no charge for remote hands when needed. Since then it has been a different story though, atleast in the last month or so.
First off, I was put on their pure PCCW network thinking that problems with their Cogent network and such wouldn't effect me but it seems everytime they are DDOSed and everytime they have downtime with any network it drops packets for me as well which is pretty often on some occasions.
Second off, I had another server shipped there recently and it arrived damaged. They told me it was the power supply acting up so I ordered a new one and had it sent to them. They installed it quickly but still notified me that the hard drives weren't all recognized. I found it to be that one of the hard drives was bad, after removing that drive from the system I asked them to reinstall the OS which they did but they told me they still had problems booting it up with the SATA controller. I said to them to make sure that the SATA controller was enabled with AHCI which is needed for CentOS. They kept telling me how the server was bad and they needed to send it back.
I received this server earlier this week to find that the SATA controller was disabled in the BIOS and as soon as I enabled it, it booted up just fine. So that was a waste of 2 weeks and $30.00 they charged me to ship it back.
Also the power supply that was replaced (which was still under full warranty, worth >$50) they told me was unavailable because it had been "recycled". It only states that they own the property after 30 days of it being in their possession which I brought to their attention but they have yet to respond to me since I asked for them to credit me $50 or provide me with a 500W power supply.
If a support staff member is so incompetent that he cannot see if an SATA controller is disabled, how is he competent enough to work on servers?
I suggest future people looking into FDC to avoid making the decision, if you have trouble with your servers they are not on your side, nor care about what happens to you.
This whole ordeal cost me $70 total in shipping, atleast $50 in a power supply, and lost me business for atleast 2 weeks and they don't even have the courtesy to respond to me about it.
on fdcservers . net, their colo server option #2 is amazing. It almost seems too good too be true. Could you tell me any possible down sides to chosing this colo service?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm really fed up with fdcservers.net VPS. The node I'm on is very unstable recently and it went online and offline very often, most of the time it went offline. I've checked my memory usage and the max I've seen is 240mb and my plan with them is 512mb. So i emailed their staff about it and she told me I had overused "dgramrcvbuf" and asked me to kill some processes. I don't have mysql and php running on my site, I use this VPS to host some swf and jpg file to my other site. Everytime I checked my memory and CPU load in WHM and it always shows green and CPU is below 0.4 most of the time. But when I run top command in SSH the memory goes up and down like roller coaster for the node where I've been told there's 4 VPS sharing the memory. So today I decided to take my apache offline for few hours and still experienced the same problem, the VPS still went offline most of the time. I hardly use my VPS and the amount I'm paying is not worth it at all. Anyone know what really cause VPS to be down besides running out of memory?

Anyone had experience with fdcservers.net?
I'm basically just going to copy/paste the message I posted on their forums that will likely never see the light of day... But before I do, I would like to say the following...
We have been clients of FDCservers for over 2 years and have had nothing but good experiences with them up until...
"Ok, I'll try to remain as cool and collect as I possibly can, but I have to air my concerns here since our issues are NOT being resolved via support tickets...
We currently leased a new server 2 months ago in August, replacing our old server. Ever since we've gotten this new server we have had nothing but problems.
The problems are the same each and every time, and yet nothing is getting done to actually resolve them...
In a nuttshell, merely days after leasing this new server, we had an HDD fail. It was replaced a day or so later. Then a few days later, another HDD fails. Replaced 2 days later or so.
Then again, HDD failure. Now not only do we have to wait another 2 days for it to be replaced (seems you guys don't keep an on location stock?), but we also have to reload the OS due to the failure.
Finally get the server back online, losing a small amount of data in the process (so far); and AGAIN we have an HDD failure. And again, and again, and again...
I have been very patient with your support staff up until this point, but the amount of money we have lost over the last 2 months is making me look for a different provider.
The issues we are having point to hardware related issues, more than likely a bad onboard disk controller. But the solution has always been to simply replace the failed HDD with a new one, oh and one time you swapped the sata cable to another port.
Now, I'm fully aware that you do not offer an SLA, which is fine.. but we are still paying for a service and yet we are not getting what we're paying for at this point, which is really saddening because we've had nothing but good things to say about your company for 2 years now. But this latest run of events is quickly changing my opinion, and simply because your tech support doesn't seem to actually want to resolve problems the right way.
And now I'm told my server has been completely replaced, but not after a claim that one of my disks started "smoldering", one of them is corrupt and one is lost (as in physically misplaced). Not only that but this "new" server had a whole 2 hours of uptime before it crashed. I have to ask what the hell happened to you guys? You were the first company I recommended when someone asked about a good dedi server company, yet now I'm sitting here with ALL my data seemingly gone (we're talking several hundred GB's of data btw, not something that can be easily replaced by backups) and a "new" server that is already having stability issues!
I really hate to say this, but you guys do not hesitate to turn off a server if a payment is 3 days or so late, so why do you hesitate so much to give us a server that actually works properly?
Or server is ID# ####. Please address our issues once and for all (You can see the ticket history) so we can go back to being happy customers like we have been for the last 2 years..."
So my question is... what in the hell happened to these guys? I remember the one time we had a hardware issue (dead mobo on our old server), it was replaced and we were back online in under an hour. But now I dunno wtf is going on except that we are constantly losing money thanks to this newfound incompetence...
I am looking to colocate with FDC in Denver and wanted to know if anyone had any opinions about their Denver colocation.

I have a VPS with FDCServers.net - I like it a lot. Now for the last two days, the VPS keeps getting hacked. I Have no idea how it even started. I first noticed Friday during the day at school. I sat during school and fixed it. They had installed SubSeven. Today, about 5 mins ago it was re-hacked. SubSeven again.
Now, I have firewalls on the server, after 5 attempts you are banned from the vps for 15 mins. ect..
This is my personal vps and I can't figure out how its happening, I use it for things like tunneling and such storing files ect.. Nobody ever is on it. I don't even host files on it. I have cPanel installed for the hell of it, it is always updated ect..
I am planning to buy server from FDC server for my new hosting company. Can anyone provide me true suggestion on them:
-How are they?
-How is their network?
-How is their hardware quality?
-How is there support?

I've been considering some local Colos over the past few months. I've seen FDCservers located out of Chicago, they are actually only 1 block down the street from my office, which is nice. Their prices are amazing. We are looking to colo 1U Servers.
here is a snipit I found on the ads forum.
INTERNAP PROMO
NO minimum commit
Month to month term
%100 dedicated INTERNAP bandwidth $12/Mbit !!!
Server Space (electric included)
1U server - $39/month
So according to this I can get a 10MB InterNap Colo for $159/mo.
Anyone care to share their experience with this company?
I currently rent a server at FDCServers and I'm planning on coloing there. Has anyone tried out thier colo serivce?
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have tried this service with their Virtual Dedicated Server #3 offer for two months, the connection was not impressive... And I was surprised especially by the support, each time that you have a software problem you have to pay 25-50$ to have it resolved, they work free only for material difficulties.
One day all is working and the day after your websites are no more offline, if you have access to the server (even if you have not touched to the server and that the sites are still not running after a restart), it is considered as a software complication and you have to pay... it happens 1-2 time by month.
Very disappointing and it is not well specified on their website that the support is not free.
