Colocating With Cogent

Sep 3, 2007

Is colocating with Cogent practical decision.

They offer 10 or 100 Mbps connection

Requires a year contract for full rack.

Question is how does their service, network and bandwidth do compared to other DC/providers?

For those who use (or have used) their colocation service, what kind of feedback can you give?

We are considering colocating with them.

Understanding The Colocating Model

Jul 4, 2007

trying to understand the colocation business model (for webhosting).

Am I right in assuming that following business model:

1. Rent a portion (or full) rack from datacenter, e.g. calpop.com
2. Buy servers and get them shipped to datacenter
3. For unmanaged servers, typically most support will be limited to reboots, reinstall of OS/control panel, and server hardware issues - correct?
4. Provide basic support, or sign-up with companies like bobcare.com to provide support to clients who order server

One-time cost (for 1-3 years): Cost of dedicated server hardware
Ongoing monthly costs: rack rental + outsourced support (optional)

...plus marketing costs....

Please let me know if I missed something or overlooked details...
