i'm interested in putting two servers (possibly scale up for more) in the South Bay (i.e. San Jose, Fremont, etc.) colocation facitity. Any suggestion on the providers would be greatly appreciated. and what to look for.
i only know Hurricane Electric (and Savvis?).
good colo provider..
I dont want to pay the earth though!
Any colo sites in this city?
View 4 Replies View RelatedNot that this is my case, but I would like to know what happens when a co-location provider goes belly up and does not have more service in the data center.
It is not the data-center itself, only the colo provider in that data-center.
What happens if the servers have a payed contract for a year with time left on the DC and what happens when the payment is made monthly.
moving to a new colo provider, at Equinix in Ashburn. We are looking to lease a full cabinet of space.
More than one quote we have received includes a charge for us to buy the PDUs. The pricing for the PDUs seems to be market-rate, and the PDUs seem to be good quality based on what I've read here (usually APC).
My question is: Is this now standard practice that the customer owns the PDUs? Our needs are not special in any way -- just 2 PDUs with 20-25 ports on each.
I don't mind paying for the PDUs, but my concern is the responsibility. I would prefer that we are not responsible for the PDUs. What if one of them fails? I guess we'd be down potentially for a few days while a new PDU is purchased. Meanwhile, if the PDU was not our responsiblity, the colo provider would probably have some spares on-hand and we'd be up and running in a matter of an hour or less.
One of the sites I run is a forum with a political component, and 4-5 times over the last week we've been seeing DoS attacks. They're not terribly sophisticated -- generally 1-3 compromised servers throwing packets my way -- but they're enough to clog my pipes and take my sites down.
What I'd like to do is put a new server up at a data center that's D(D)oS aware that can hopefully respond to these attacks automatically. My current provider has been giving solid support, but the best they can do is null route the affected IP, rather than filtering the incoming attack.
Can y'all name a few providers I should look into? Right now I'm just looking to move 1 box (or maybe a box and a firewall depending on the setup).
Most of my traffic is in South America (argentina). I need a VPS with lots of cheap (500GB-700GB) bandwidth available, plus maybe 1-2GB of RAM. Having a VPS as close to Argentina as possible might work well.
I think maybe VPS from Texas might work?
Does anyone have any recommendations for a VPS provider in the South Africa region?

I'm one of the Layeredtech "future refugees" looking for a new hosting. I have a AMD Athlon 3000+ 1GB RAM + 2 160GB HDD's and last week I started looking at LT specials to upgrade our server (1 website only, huge traffic). I'm glad that I got the "Price Hike" increase before :-)
After looking at all the posts in the forum about unmanaged providers I really like the prices and reputation of Hivelocity, but I'm not so sure about the speed of their network.
The website is in Spanish (I'm from Spain), and we got 50% of our visitors from Spain, 45% from South America and the rest from all over the world. I tried their download tests and they were slower than LT (from Spain), with the pings 20/30% higher and the traceroute has like 5 more hops.
Any experiences from European/South American customers of Hivelocity?
I run a UK based GSP which has been successful in dedicated server packages.
I'm looking to expand over to south Carolina / greenville / anywher near Clemson uni. Personal easy access to the machines is a must have.
Can anyone recommend some providers in these areas. I prefer the 'personal' service over the mass scale providers.
It has been a while since I have posted on WHT.
I'm consulting to a large company that would like to setup
servers in co-locations in the countries listed below.
Does anyone know of any reputable data centers located in the countries listed below?
Moscow
South Africa
Egypt
Dubai
We have a client looking for just 1u and 1Mbps in each location.
View 7 Replies View RelatedPlease give me the difference. Colo in carrier hotel, we can choose our preferred network provider, but should we do that if we cannot have our own tech in datacenter? How about the supporting service from carrier hotel? Just general question, cause I dont address exactly which facility.
And the second would be more expensive? Saying the same number of rack, amount of bandwidth... Who is providing IP addresses then?
i am considering moving over from a dedicated server to a VPS solution, but host files via a CDN provider.
Can people give me their experiences of CDN providers please.
In particular i am looking at:
The prices they are paying
The quality of their bandwidth
The speeds they are getting (average)
Is your provider a reseller of another
Am looking to make available a variety of files from PNG, PSD, Vector and ISO files. Some of the files are as big as 10GB in size. I know some providers only manage certain file types.

Anybody know a very good Xen VPS provider in the UK? All I can find (and I have look around a lot) is either a brand of VaServ or has a website is completely built with images and is just too stupid to be of a real hosting company.

For all my sites I used the first Ip until recently I tried to use the second ip for a particular site
Every thing went alright, I thought my site with second ip is working until yesterday I received a Call from India and the guy told me that he could not view my website because he got some thing like Network error DNS failed
I checked my site it was loading, I asked my provider and he says nothing is wrong and he can view my site
I checked
[url]
I got this Error
ERROR: Although you have at least 2 NS records, they both point to the same server, resulting in a single point of failure. You are required to have at least 2 nameservers per RFC 1035 section 2.2.
I talked with my provide but the response was this
''''''''''
This message will show up always when dnsstuff is able to detect that both nameserver names are pointing to the same physical system. This message doesn't affect connectivity and/or performance.

Do I have two IPS or One IP Is this a common practice? I do not want to feel suspisious of the host and those guys are nice and supportive
Is Xen really as good as claimed?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a VPS to host some personal sites.
Data is very important.
My budget is under 20 dollar per month. DirectAdmin is preferred. ( No lxadmin or webmin)
The VPS provider must be in business for more than 1 year.
Anybody know such a provider?
What is the best hosting provider? Host Gator?
View 24 Replies View RelatedI've been having a rough morning with my hosting.
They're claiming that the problem is with the upstream provider.
So I had a question for all you smarter than a 5th grader guys.
When there's a problem with the upstream provider, shouldn't all my IPs go down?
I have a /24 with hosted with these guys, but some IPs are up while others keep going up/down.
Does anyone have experience with a good IRC VPS provider? I want to run an couple of BNC's. Unmanaged is fine. My budget for this would be $20/month.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've been thinking about getting a dedicated server in the EU, as the UK is just to expensive to rent a dedicated server.
I've read reviews of the two hosts I found on the net (OVH and 1&1) and none were all that favourable. (Especially 1&1 heh)
anyone recommend some alternative EU providers? or perhaps any reasonable priced UK services?
Has anyone else here experienced terrible support responses.
Over a week ago I submitted a request to resubmit new CSR requests for 2 SSL certificates. I've ended up emailing 2 departments and trying to phone for a response.
When I phone the only response I've ever had is an answering message saying leave a message or email for a faster response!
The only email response I've ever had is a single reply saying I need to email a different department and a request has been forwarded to the correct department.
I aprreciate these are budget products but this is a dreadful support level and I'm seriously thinking I'll never purchase any of this company's products again, what if I purchase on a clients behalf, delays like this arent going to look good at all. I also appreciate its a seasonal period but come on, over a week!
I have a budget of around $400/m for a Dedicated Servers in LA. I Understand there are a lot of options but I was hoping you guys could point me in the correct direction for the best global connectivity. Im assuming since LA is so diverse in its x connects there should be one provider out there with outstanding bandwidth and a lot of connects to different providers.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have been researching the vps market for a month or so now and have started to compile a list of questions to put to vps providers who get short listed. I would love some contributions!
1) What is the cpu and how is cpu capacity distributed, by account number limits, by assigning a certain number of mhz, is the asisgned capcity burstable?
2) ram is usually clearly advertised but who scalable is it? Can you add just extra ram or do you need to upgrade to the next package. Is it burstable and with what constraints.
3) are there any limits for the number of processes (shared hosting providers may limit processes to only a few, 15 for instance before terminating them). This isnt advertsised but need to be answered for dynamic sites with high traffic.
4) Number of simaltanious connections, both from individual Ips to the sites/account or to pop3 accounts. If the pop3 account sim con is low its will be annoying when trying to donwlaod email from several of your sites at the same time....attempts after the X number will fail.
5) Will your account have assigned bandwidth or will you just be sharing whatever connection 10/100mbps with the other uses on the server. This isnt such a big deal as a lot of servers will be streched to output 100mbps of data. If the connection is a 10mbps one then its much more important.
6) if you're used to a certain type of control panel make sure they have it and at what possible extra cost.
7) Check their terms and conditions for liability regards lost data. I chose a hosting company beofre because of their superior back up system, turns out they didnt use it and I lost 5 weeks of data (about $4000 loss for me). Their t & C avioded libility for any losses inspite of the fact that they advertises the b/u facility as a special feature.
8) quiz them on "Monitoring" and "Management". Us hosting novices may see these as the same thing but hosting companies do not. Monitoring is knowing that something is wrong, management is doing something about it. Many vps providers advertise full management but wait to be asked to fix problems that could have been lossing you money for days till one of your kind users lets you know.
9) What is their infrastructure...power, location, connectivity redundency like (ie how many T1,2 or 3 do they have and is that enough).
10) Support. Is it in house or outsourced....the later is bad as they are usually given little power to do anything and you have to wait longer for an inhouse guy to get off his lazy boy.
11) Do they limit the number of emails per period (ie like 500 per hour). This wont affect some but for those of us who have large memberships to send newsletters to this is a non starter.
I am currently on shared hosting (i will not mention who with) however since I have been with them my site has been down about 4 times. The good thing is my site hadnt launched it was just a placeholder page so nothing critical.
Due to the above issues, I think i might want to get a VPS, it is essential there is no downtime, its a new site and I dont want our reputation to suffer due to downtime.
One of my client is ask me what is the difference between an INDIAN hosting provider
