Does anyone have any recommendations for co-location in Philadelphia, Conshohocken, or South Jersey?
I need to co-locate a 2U Windows 2003 Server machine running SQL. Good managed services would be nice. Customer access to facilities a must.
Posted a thread in the dedicated section but am considering colo too.
Would colo if it was near me, and instead of the 4 sites (as described in my dedicated thread) I'd push 2 high profile sites on it.
I have several Quad/8-12GB/Multi-port GB racks ready to go currently used for QA.
For me at the moment I'm stuck in the wierd place of requirements. COLO will eventually have to be done, just maybe not to that point yet.
Looking for some reasonable pricing on NJ/Philadelphia colocation. Obviously NYC would be a viable selection as well however I'm located in South Jersey (roughly 3 miles outside Philadelphia). Traveling to NYC is not really something I'd want to do.
Therefore I prefer Philadelphia or NJ (south, central or north).
I need a provide that has a decent BGP mix of bandwidth.
Space Needed: 1U/2U.
Bandwidth: 1-2 Mbps on 100 Mbps port (95%)
Price: Affordable/Reasonable.
I want to deliver the server in person. Must be a respectable place and in business for sometime along with a company that can be trusted. I would prefer a company that owns the datacenter, although will consider others who just have colo-space in a large facility.
I'm currently considering DedicatedNow as I like their bandwidth mix and pricing is A+. Plus they are in NJ. Providers feel free to PM me on WHT.
Is there any (trustworthy) collocation in Philadelphia OR Delaware? Maybe ones the would allow me to stop by the data center.
Also, has anyone used K2Colocation? They have a 95 USD one time setup fee and 99 every month per 1U...and they give you this
* 1 X 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Port
* 1 X Remote Rebootable PDU Power Outlet per Device
* 100 GB Data Transfer per Month (addtional bandwidth options available)
* 1 Hour of FREE scheduled escort per month
Any suggestions for a reliable colocation provider in PHL (full rack, 1 gig drop)?
Need one with TRUE 24/7 (onsite) support and a solid/several years proven network. Cant be waiting 2 hours for a reboot.
Familiar with 401 nbroad street but can be anywhere in central PHL....
I am shopping around for colocation options in Philly, preferable at 401 N. broad because that would be extremely convenient for me. I have read everything on this forum about Philadelphia colocation. I am having a hard time finding 1/2 rack or less. I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions or other advice. Ideally I would like to have keys to the partial rack, but I know that’s asking a lot. I have contacted several companies. Here is a breakdown:
Called Broadview / ATX. The lady that answered had no idea what I was talking about when I asked for info on "colocation". She transferred me to someone’s voicemail. I called back a few days later and finally got through to a salesperson. He seemed annoyed that I was even bothering him with less than a rack, but told me that they have 1/2 racks for $475 (with 2 year agreement) plus $120/month for 1.5/megabits.
Called Switch & Data and left a voicemail. Never heard back. I am assuming they don’t do partial rack.
Called Cross Connect Solutions. Talked to a guy but he explained they don’t do partial racks and that a full rack is "around $1000 / month" depending on bandwidth, etc.. He then gave me the name of a guy from philpop.com, and said he could probably help me.
Called the guy from philpop.com, he said he would "see what he could do"?
I talked to Matt from razorservers, that’s a definite possibility.
I looked at burst.net prices and that’s also a possibility.
Emailed quonix.com to get prices.
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??????
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 need to move a file from a xen vps to main node /root directory.
How can do it?
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 have seen a number of threads that specify location (mostly US) as a critereon for VPS selection. I am based in India and looks like there are vew VPS providers here and most of the VPS providers are located in the US (some in the UK as well).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'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.)
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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 was wondering about these questions for a co-location server to make it easy
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?
i have 3 server with SoftLayer.
is it economical to get colocated for 3 server?
if yes how can i buy the servers?
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
where the location of the error log is.
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?
im planning to setup a loadbalencer system soon and im wanting to redirect users based on their location, im wondering if anyone knows how best to do this (servers will be hosting streaming media and load balancer will be la linux based server

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)?

We currently have two vps's one in chicago and one in dallas. We have our primary in chicago because we figured fewer hops=faster load times for website. is this really true?
right now we get pings around 35-60ms to chicago and 60-170ms to dallas. does this major difference really amount to anything?
