Cabinet Co-location (How Does It Work)
Aug 11, 2007If I colo a full cabinet with anyone like colo4dallas, calpop or any other random host:
Does it mean they give me a cabinet I can put my servers in
OR
Do I have to bring my own Cabinet?

Apache :: IP Restriction For Location Doesn't Work
Oct 11, 2012I had a problem that ip restrictions inside location didn't work. Config :
Code:
<Location /jkstatus>
JkMount status
Require ip 127.0.0.1
Require ip my_remote_netowrk_1/29
Require ip my_remote_netowrk_2/29
[Code] .....
In that case all IPs were allowed - just propted for login and password.
When i removed login/password part from location, IP restriction has start to work.
Code:
<Location /jkstatus>
JkMount status
Require ip 127.0.0.1
Require ip my_remote_netowrk_1/29
Require ip my_remote_netowrk_2/29
[Code] ....
What is wrong ? I would like to restrict access to this location for some IPs only and secure this area by password as well - even for allowed IPs.
1/2 Cabinet Or Full Cabinet
Jun 29, 2007Just wanted to get some opinions. I assume you are trying to colo, and you will fill 1/2 rack in 1 year. I have two options:
1. Get 1/2 rack, 20amps first and get another one when full.
2. Get full rack, 20amps and add 20amps later.
The first one will save $250/mo. The second one will give you redundancy and privately your rack/cabinet.
Should Location Of Host = Location Of Targeted Visitors?
Sep 19, 2008Just 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??????
Does IP Address Location = Server Location
Nov 6, 2009I 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?

Aug 16, 2007Lets assume I have the following equipment Hardware Firewall, Switch, 1U KVMoIP, 1U server and a 0U APC Switchable Power strip.
So there is 1 FastE ethernet drop.
Code:
FastE

Firewall

Switch -> KVMoIP
-> APC
-> Server
Of course, then
KVMoIP
||
Server
My question is, which comes first after the FastE drop, firewall then switch or vice-versa?
Cabinet At PAIX
Apr 23, 2007providers who might have a cabinet available at PAIX?
We just got a great deal on a Gig circuit to PAIX, but the carrier doesn't have space available.
We'll probably to putting in a 6506 - so at least half a cabinet, most likely a full one.
We don't need bandwidth, just a cabinet and power.
Getting A Cogent Connection To A Cabinet

I know their pricing 100Mbps for $1,000 which is pretty crazy deal. And if I would go on their contract would it save me a setup fee?
What Should I Expect To Pay For Half Cabinet
Jul 20, 2009I currently use a half cabinet and think I'm paying way too much. I pay $1,000/month for half rack (10 meg bandwidth) 20 amps power, etc. Service and connectivity has been great (Ashburn, VA data center) but I think it's just over priced.
What should I pay for half cab, 20 amps, 5-10 MEG bandwidth, 20 amps?
On that note, what if I was to go for a full cabinet solution, same power and bandwidth, what is ultimately the expected price for a reputable colo provider?
23-inch Cabinet Choices
Jun 25, 2008I use APC Netshelter cabinets now; I have a need for some cabinets with 23-inch wide rails, capable of holding telco muxes, rectifiers, batteries, etc. Any suggestions on cabinet?
Something that would blend in with APC Netshelters (black, bowed/curved door on cold aisle) would be nice. I know I've seen a cabinet very similar to Netshelter delivered from NetApp, but with a grey/off-black color, and 1-piece door on the hot aisle. If APC is just sourcing their cabinets from some manufacturer who takes engineering requests, it would be great to find out who makes them.
Choosing A Switch For Cabinet.
Mar 1, 2007I'm planning to move my co-located server to a cabinet soon. We are adding dedicated web & database servers to take the load off of the main box. I will get one GigE drop in this cabinet, so obviously I need a switch.
No routing is needed on my end, so my guess is that the regular GigE switch would do just fine. But I have few concerns about my setup.
All of my servers have dual GigE port. My plan is to connect one to the internet, and another to a local private lan for SMB, database, SNMP, and such. Jumbo frame is enabled on a private lan.
Is there any 16-port switch that allows me to assign 8 ports into one virtual switch (1500-byte frame) and another 8 into another virtual switch (9000-byte frame) ?
On the internet side, I expect to be pushing around 300-400mbps, a bit higher on the private lan. I need a very stable switch that won't choke or crash at this rate.
I'd also like to be able to limit throughput on each port, and probably do port/ip filtering on this switch instead of iptables on each box. (Am I asking too much for a switch?)
Ganging Up On Cabinet Colocation
Aug 25, 2007When looking at the 1U's, I have to search really long and hard trying to find a half-decent host. A lot of companies skimp on something when offering colo, and makes for a bad day when that particular service is needed.
On the other hand, I see a lot of colocation offers for great deals on Cabinets and half Cabinets. High, premium bandwidth, PLENTY of amps, top of the line support, etc. It would be tempting to go for these, except I only have a single unit server.
I was going to give up on finding a good colo, then I got an idea. What if I got together a few other people, we all pitched in for our slice of a cabinet, and bring the price well within reasonable limits for those of us with low demands?
Would it be too difficult to do something like this? If you run across this topic and are looking for colo, would you be willing to give this a shot?

Nov 1, 2007I'm about to move 31 machines into a 42U full cabinet
Previously I was on an uncapped bandwidth provider but we had a lot of problems with them so I decided to find a new provider who charges bandwidth by mbps
I do not have mrtg installed or managed switches, but I may start with 10mbps.
But I'm just curious, what takes a full cabinet with more than 30 machines does the total bandwidth takes you.
Perhaps any colo provider here don't mind to share their stats.
Opinions On This Cabinet Style's Ability To Cool
Mar 29, 2007What do you think about this cabinet style's ability to cool say 18-20 1U core 2 duo servers? [see attached jpeg.]
its got a fan in the ceiling of it. I have read that ceiling fans don't do much and its the front to back cooling that really makes a difference. Is this true?
If you don't like this type of cab, which type do you like?
1-2 Cabinet Colo In San Francisco Bay Area (East Bay, Too)
Nov 20, 2007I'm currently colocated in 365 Main in San Francisco.
Due to power limitations there I need a new place with 1-2 cabinets, about 25Amps and 1-2mbps committed.
I'm looking for a long-term, reliable, 24x7 NOC, with no surprises. If my servers are down, I'm out of business, so uptime (power+network) is the most important factor.
I will summarize the recommendations I get and post them back here.

Co Location.
Sep 11, 2007what 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.
Co-Location
Apr 8, 2007I 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.

How Important Is Location
Oct 11, 2009I 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.

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.
