I am colo shopping in Phoenix. I have already been in contact with Jeff at Atjeu and iLand (at Level3)....
Are there other shared rack colo providers in the Phoenix or Tucson area? Probably will start with 3-5amp draw and 2-3mbit. Are there other DC's I should be looking at? I don't thing I'd be a spec on the radar at Limelight.
There doesn't seem to be a list of folks that resell Level3 anywhere, and doing a GIS doesn't really help, either.
I'm looking for a couple of names of some companies that offer dedicated servers in Level3 facilities? Preferably in the Northeast, but anywhere on the East Coast is probably fine, too.
I know Limestone and TMS are L3 resellers, but they aren't east coast...
Anyone have a cabinet at Level 3's 111 N. Canal Datacenter available?
I'm looking for a cabinet specifically in that colo space, so no responses about other colo please.
Their facility is maxed out hence the inquiry.
I'm considering moving my servers into Fremont II data center with HE. I have a small operation with about 7 servers, all fairly low powered. But I like the idea that it is staffed 24x7 because sometimes I screw up and lock myself out of my box and have to drive down there to fix my stupid mistakes.
I'm basically looking for 1/2 cab with 1/2 cab power (7.5 - 10 amps) - like to have up to 50mb bandwidth (currently running about 30 now). Need block of 64 IP addresses. So it's a little small to buy from HE directly.
I do web hosting email hosting and spam filtering. Nothing too controversial except occasionally the Electronic Frontier Foundation (eff.org) will ask me to host a site that other hosts were scared off by bogus legal threats. (powerpage.org is an example) So need someone who isn't scared off over a truly bogus threat.
So - I'm looking for information about HE resellers. I've seen ads for servertweak and EGIhosting and a few others and wondering about if they are any good or are there others that I should be considering. Or anything I should know about HE?
I'm especially interested if I can make a deal with someone to trade out spam filtering services for colo space. I have the best spam filtering on the planet.
Just wondering what problems a listing here will cause for emails
[url]and it is Level 3.
rejected emails to some or all other networks?
This is for a Data Center's IP ranges, they have advised the cause was 2 of their customers with 6 servers which all contained multiple IP classes on each server caused this and are saying to wait 7 days before the listings will clear.
I do not believe they will pay the express removal, not sure if they even knew about the listing until it was pointed out to them.

What means listed at UCEPROTECT-Level 3?
GAME OVER. We and our users have seen enough spam and heared all possible excusions why some lazy providers think to be not responsible for what their customers are doing.
We are not just another blacklist. We really know better. Massive spam is always a problem tolerated by the provider.
Your abuser / user ratio is exorbitant high. We expect some minimum standards from soneone claiming to be a professional provider.
Due to the facts that you do not reach our standards, we and many of our users have chosen to no longer allow smtp-traffic from all your IP's and ranges. See above what we are willig to tolerate as a maximum by an provider of your size.
In todays Internet it is no longer acceptable to sit down and wait for abuse to happen.
If you want to become an accepted provider with a good reputation, you will have to install preventive measures.
Click here to see what you can do to prevent spam coming from your ranges.
If you think it is not your job to prevent your IP's flooding the world with spams, we hope that you and your users will enjoy your Intranet.
How can our total ip-space be removed from UCEPROTECT-Level 3?
You can not expect to get a free ride because you are the provider. Our standard removal procedures are also valid for you.
After you have fixed the problems, the UCEPROTECT-Level 3 listing will be removed automatically and free of charge as soon as the causal Level 1 listings will expire.
Every IP listed at Level 1 expires 7 days after we have seen the last abusive action coming from it.
If you don't want your users to be affected up till the free expiration, you can optionally Expressdelist, which is charged a total of 250 EURO per ASN.
That is a huge discount compared to our charges for Level 2 or even Level 1 expressdelistings.
It is necessary that problems are fixed in first place, otherwise your complete IP-space might end up in Level 3 again within a short timeframe
Does anyone have any experience in this DC, or are there any resellers who could help me out? We have equipment all over the US, but want something close to our offices for a more robust testing environment. We're only 30 minutes from NYC, but it's a huge hassle and we already have other equipment there.
I've done searches for other DCs in the area, but they don't turn up too much. I'm open to anything in western CT or Westchester county. The only quote I've gotten so far was ridiculous.
Does Level3 charge the same price per rack at every one of their datacenters, or is it dependent on the location? For example, how much would a rack in the Houston datacenter cost compared to the Dallas datacenter? Please no sales people contact me I am just asking to do some research.
View 8 Replies View RelatedDoes Level3 have a monthly minimum of some sort? I currently own a dialup internet service provider, buy through a dialup reseller that mainly uses the Level3 managed modem service, and would like to deal with them directly if possible. I am also interested in their collocation services and ip connections in the future.
View 3 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?
Am I the only one seeing how pathetic LEVEL3 has been lately?
My route from the Gulf Coast to ATL then to Dallas has been up and down up and down with LEVEL3's network. I swear that every time the wind blows their routers are having issues........
GNAX has a killer deal on bandwidth, a mix of L3 & nLayer. How good of a network is that?
Level3 & nLayer @ $8 Per/Mbps with no minimum commit
Cogent & Telia & PCCWBTN & nLayer @ $15 Per/Mbps with no minimum commit
How much more premium is the Cogent, Telia, PCCWBTN, & Nlayer compared to just L3 & nLayer?
We are switching from a reseller that blends several carriers to Level3, to reduce our b/w costs (by a factor of 3x). We are driving upwards of 300Mbps currently.
Is Level3 reliable enough in terms of uptime to be our *only* carrier?
We are running a real-time always-on service with long-lived TCP connections, so frequent disconnections would be problematic. A single downtime of a couple of minutes per month would not be too bad on the other hand.
Switching our stuff to Level3 is a lot of work as it is.
Getting a second provider for the failover, which involves setting up a CISCO edge router with BGP, getting an AS number from ARIN, will make this task too big at this point. Is L3 reliable enough on its own to spare this hassle of a second ISP?
Has anyone had issues with Level3 honoring their discard community recently (3556:9999)? We had to null 2 IPs earlier in the week. The first one they didn't pick up the route when advertised via BGP (or if they did, it took hours). We ended up having to call and get them to filter it manually. The second IP we were able to null route fine using BGP. Now we have another IP being attacked and it looks like Level3 isn't going to pick up the route and discard traffic.
View 12 Replies View RelatedWe currently take transit from Level3 and Tiscali in addition to peering at LINX in the UK. We reaching capacity on our 100Mbps connection to Level3 which we take through a Reseller. I plan to keep our Tiscali transit as we receive great routes to Europe.
I have received quotes for increasing our Level3 to 1Gbps with 100 Mbps CDR and also switching to Global Crossing direct which are I think are fairly competitive at ~ £12 per Mbps?
Does any one have direct experience with either of these two providers in the UK and can recommend who has the best support/routes etc? Additionally I see a number of other UK providers are using Telia and NTT. Having had no experience with Telia or NTT I am unsure if they are in the same league as Global Crossing and Level3. Also are there any other Tier 1's we should be looking at?
dedicated server at sentris.com
They offer level3, NTT Verio, and PCCW backbones. I can choose which backbone I want my traffic to go over.
They offer twice as much traffic if I go with PCCW, so it must be the worst provider.
Im thinking of running a gameserver, so I want the lowest latency possible, which provider should I go with?
We've been considering getting a cabinet at Level3 in Tampa and the last pricing we got was November 2006. Yesterday I spoke with the rep I'd been dealing with to place the order, and was told that Level3 raised their prices substantially as of January 1st.
The quote we got 2 months ago is now a full 30% higher.
Can anyone confirm whether Level3 really did take a fat increase, or am I being hustled?
Has anyone else seen issues with Level3 in Atlanta and Dallas?
I've been having problems with them all week long.
either located in L3 facility or L3 connection.
looking for:
2-4GB memory
2x 160gb drives
3-4TB monthly bandwidth
dual xeon cpus or quad
preferable around $200-$250/mo.
am i asking for too much? everyone seems to only offer 1 or 2TB bandwidth but i'm hovering right around 1.5TB a month at my current location so i need a bit more for growth.
i run a non-profit gaming website and our budget is somewhat tight. we've been in a speakeasy datacenter for over 7 years and the only reason we're moving is because we outgrew the small server we were blessed with for so many years.

When a dedicated server reseller is looking for a new partner, what exactly are they looking for? Is price far and away the primary factor? Are there other features/offerings that a reseller is looking for? Are there things that would prevent you from reselling for someone if they didn't offer them?
Who are currently the best server providers to resell for and why?
Can anybody name some bandwidth/port resellers such as XtremeBandwidth was back in the day? I'm looking for someone who can get me multiple price quotes from various providers at an odd location.

any VPS resellers that are using VMWare ESXi as their platform for their hosting plans?

I have a dedicated business III linux root server (CentOS + Plesk) with 1and1.co.uk and have two domains purchased through them. What I want to do is set up resellers and then the resellers can point their own external domains to their reseller packages. To test the process, this is what I have done...
In the 123-reg.co.uk control panel (where I have my own list of domains), I change the nameservers from ns/ns2.123-reg.co.uk of example.com to ns59/ns60.1and1.co.uk and then proceed to set up web forwarding to my servers IP. Now, after setting up a reseller account through Plesk, I log in and click add the domain example.com. After waiting 24+ hours, when I type in example.com, I get the 'address not found' message through my browser. Clearly something is not set up right.
The only way I can host external domains is to use the domain control panel in the 1and1 screens to transfer an external domain to my root package - not an efficient way of setting up a reseller account.
Does anybody have any guideance on where I am going wrong? Do I need to set up my own nameserver for reseller clients to point their domains to?
just restored a server from an rsync backup. problem now is that i have a couple of hundred accounts all under root, when they're supposed to be resellers and sub accounts of resellers.
any idea if its just some file which contains all the mappings or do i need to go through all these hundreds of accounts and reassign them?
what changes we are supposed to do the server to provide our reseller their own custom nameservers? we do have management companies hired for issues but i really feel i should know this too.
