PA/NY Colo Host: Galaxyvisions / Leonid Gudovich / Dirt On WebHostPlus
Apr 24, 2008I have been looking for a colo host in Philly/NY for a few months now and I keep ending up on what appears to be a wild goose chase. I was going to choose Galaxyvisions as I received a good quote from them and I can get to their datacenter in a reasonable amount of time, but then I saw that Leonid Gudovich, their 'director of sales and marketing', is the same guy who helped the people who ran WebHostPlus scam tons of companies and destroyed client services.
I am really at my wit's end and need to get this server deployed. It is a 2U hacked-together box, albeit with some pretty serious new (valuable) hardware. I don't plan to use too much bandwidth, probably not more than 500 GB a month, but I do need relatively fast transfer speeds (at least 10 mbit.) I use it as my own timeshare server, and host a couple of websites and maybe a game server or two.
Can anyone answer some of these questions? I have searched the forums for galaxyvisions and pa/ny hosting but no one seems to have provided much of a personal experience review besides pasting some URLs.Can I trust Galaxyvisions right now or do they have the same John/Mike Goldenberg and other scammers that are going to steal my server and bill me for years to come, and send collection agencies after me.
Does anyone know any hosting companies in PA/NY/NJ that satisfy the above criterion for $100-$150 a month? I will be a low-maintenance client, everything on my server is redundant (power supply, RAID arrays, etc), I just want them to plug it in and leave me alone!
This wild goose chase for colo hosts is really starting to get to me...

View 6 Replies View RelatedCaro.net Two Week Review
Oct 20, 2008I figured I'm obviously not the most important person here, but I also figured that a review is a review - and it's just as good coming from me.
Two weeks in, not a very long time yet. I've got the deal of a lifetime though.
Server:
Dell PowerEdge
860 1u Single Intel Xeon
3050 2.13GHz Dual Core (Conroe)
2GB DDR-2
250gb SATA
250gb SATA
Windows 2003 Standard
No Control Panel
Free Raid Options
2000 GB Bandwidth
Price; How much do you think they sold this for? I got the actual machine with CentOS for 109.00$ a month, then I upgraded to Windows 2003 Standard for the price of Windows Web Edition cause they are nice =). So 15$/mo for Windows 2003 Standard, which the original price was 25$/mo. Add that onto the crazy discount I'm getting off the original box and it's a great deal.
Support; They've helped me with everything I needed. I have the tech's email/MSN address, so even though I have an Unmanaged plan, they tend to help me out anyway, knowing I'm new to all of this. I haven't needed MUCH support so I can't go into to much detail, but so far everything I needed; they helped me with.
System; So far, I'm using my dedicated to host a few Half-Life: Counter-strike servers. My servers are constant at at least 23 players most of the time. So far, I have five, 32 slot servers. All have been running perfectly as long as I don't mess with them to much.
Usually depending on the mod, but the average FPS is 300 per server. If you're not a gaming fan, 300 FPS is borderline great, right above good. Once again, system runs five 32 slot Counter-strike 1.6 servers flawlessly.
Uptime; Can't really say much about this as I've only had them for 2 weeks, but I guess I might as well say, so far, no downtime .
Network; I'm surprised as some told me to avoid North Carolinas data center, but I'm happy I join with them. Along with the cheap prices, I got a beautiful network that hasn't disappointed me since I have joined them.
Price: 10/10
Support: 10/10 (Remember, I have an unmanaged plan, so anything would've really got me to say 10/10.)
System: 8/10 -- I requested Raid after the Sales Tech informed me it was free. They planned to do it on the same time as my Reformat to windows, but they had no raid cables =(.
Uptime: 10/10 -- Had them for two weeks, no downtime =D.
Network: 9/10 -- It could be better, but it's a lot better then I expected/was hoping for.
I honestly don't know what else to comment on. If you want me to comment on any other aspect of Caro.net please let me know and I will post a response. Thanks for reading. I plan on staying with Caro for as long as I possibly can.
Caro.net 1 Week Review
Aug 7, 2008Well almost 1 week, but since this forum has helped a lot with these kind of threads, I thought I would leave one for Caro as they amazed me.
I am of course in no way affiliated with them.
The story:
Friday 1 August 2008 almost noon time.
Saw this: [url]in the offers section which had an excellent offer on a dell xeon server for $109. Did some research about them here, all turned out good except for the crazy guy.
Added Mark (Later to become my sales agent with Caro). And asked him about his network and support times and hardware replacement policies. I was convinced and ordered a server.
Server was practically ordered Saturday also noon time.
I needed some special configurations for the server which were all done and the server was delivered after almost always staying in contact with support. Server was delivered on Sunday.
Apparently, these guys don't sleep. This is how it should be done. You pay for your server you get it.
Since then and I know the period is small to make any absolute judgments, but several things can be noted.
Support is always on call. Sunday or not. They just reply.
Connection is pretty darn good, no downtime no slow time no nothing. Just my website online just like I wanted to be.
Hence my grading chart for this very short startup period:
10/10 on delivery and deployment (including server hardware - it is a dell server worth almost 1k)
10/10 on the support
10/10 on connection
To me there is nothing that they could have done any better.
I would like to thank Caro and Mark Memmer for this pleasant experience. Very well appreciate and recommended.
