Colocation Recommendation For Bay Area
Mar 25, 2008
my company is looking for a colo provider in the Bay Area. We have done some research and the final choice comes down to these 2 companies: internap and ethr.net.
Price wise, Internap is slightly more expensive on the bandwidth, setup cost and cabinet rental.
Could anyone provide some recommendation based on personal experience? Our service is live video streaming, therefore we are looking for good network with low latency and with a bandwidth of 100mbps.

where to find the best prices on 5u rack space, 5Mbps bandwidth, and 5amps power in Fremont or San Jose?
Another question, I'm using a small desktop switch which can fit behind one of my 14 inch deep 1u server. Would colos allow this of would I need to pay for another U for the switch?

We are currently hosting a cabinet of servers in our office, looking at adding about another 3/4 of a cabinet worth of servers in a next couple of months. The office is in the Boston area, and we currently are using Verizon for both the loop and bandwidth.
While this is working fairly well, we are starting to look at colo options. We would like to stay in the Boston area, but do not have much experience with the local options.
We have two main questions:
1) What data centers are considered good in Boston?
2) Is it worthwhile to consider resellers once you exceed a full cabinet?

I have a colocated server with cpanel right now.
The cPanel license on my server just expired and I don't feel like paying for another month as there's 3-4 sites on that box that are still active.
I pay $80 a month for the colo with cpanel
So my questions are
1) What do you recommend (reseller vs vps) and who do I go with
2) How do I get my 4 sites off to the new cpanel with an expired license?
If anyone can help that'd be great. Looking to move within 48 hours

I've been reading a lot on this forum lately for a good VPS solution for me, but I've not been too lucky. Perhaps I am just too lazy to read all the posts.
At any rate, I've been with Alpha Red for about a year now and I feel I need to get something new (been having some problems with my mail server and speed, and since it isn't managed, I don't want to worry about fixing it myself). Thus, I am looking for a good VPS solution.
My needs aren't critical, most personal/business type sites, with some client hosting (clients can get very demanding traffic, however, as they will commonly get featured on Digg or YouTube). Because of the clients, I feel I need something clustered with redundancy. I tried out Mosso and just couldn't stomache the simplicity and lack of control.
Disk space would be around 10GB or higher, bandwidth around 500GB or higher (1TB would look amazing to me), and managed is really a plus. However, my budget is only around $150/mo (currently paying $139 for a very slow dedicated server).
I've been tempted to try MediaTemple, but recently looked at Zone.net's clustered VPS, and KnownHost.

opinion about what E-mail would be the best as a autoresponder and email campaign program. Something that can be configured to forward emails to different addresses from different recipients, automatic responces and scheduled email campaigns, all that kind of things. I would prefer an open source solution but if not any I would pay for that.
how to extract the text from an incoming email (through a script maybe) and input to another ougoing email?

I plan to host 20-40 domains that will include ~20 blogs total and roughly 20 SQL DB's. I anticipate 5-10 GB traffic / month.
With these requirements, can I realistically make use of a shared hosting plan (like HostGator's)? They claim unlimited domains, though I'm not sure how far I can really take this.
Update: shame on me: GB's, not TB's

I'm planning to operate my own dedicated server and bad news is I'm not much of a technical person. A friend recommends that I can use free Webmin as a front end (control panel) rather than paying for others. Do you think Webmin is suitable for newbie on this front?

I am planning to get 2 uplinks for a cluster of servers. So, there will be 2 different
IP subnets and 2 different uplinks. I want the switch:
1. To be able to switch providers when any one of them is down
2. To be able to load balance the traffic (optional)
Also, I prefer to use Cisco.

What webhosting/domain/server company has the best customer area - ie. the best control panel, billing interface, integration with 3rd party scripts and control panels etc etc.
I think Mediatemple has done a good job, mosso's is excellent and I like what softlayer has done with their server management interface...
Anyone else?

Something less then US$ 150 for the start and an option to move to a full blown (4 Cores, 4GB) dedicated server later would be optimal.
Requirements:
1000 GB Transfer
10 GB Disk
1024 GB Memory
Plesk Panel
There will also be download links to copyright protected material but this are only links, there is no copyright infringement on the server itself which is absolutely legal at least in Europe.

I have been hosting with automatedvps.com for a few months now.
I heartly recomend them.
They host windows 2003/2008 and centOS.
I use windows 2008 which is faster then windows 2003.
They have the best deal I found at the time and since.
Support is friendly, avilable by email and phone. I'm very pleased with it, for instance upon my request they reinstalled the OS at no extra charge.
CPU, memory and internet all work fast.

I wanted to recommend and give a review of my service with Steadfast. Before I went with steadfast I read WHT almost everyday, looking at different hosts. Steadfast has exceeded my expectations by far.
I have a basic shared account but the speed and service make me feel like it is a dedicated account. My site is still in construction so I wont give the address but I have never experience any lag in loading or it ever being offline.
Whenever I submit a ticket, simply because I have a question, I have never waited more than a few minutes. It is genius. I think that Steadfast's business plan is to have the best equipment and software with the best service and reliability so that their customers stay and say good things about them. Sounds like a plan to me.
One of the things that I like the most is that Karl, owner and operator, actually knows what he is talking about is always happy to help.
I had never paid for hosting before or had a domain name and thought that the control panel and learning curve of hosting was gonna be hard but it is well organized and everything runs so perfectly that I almost never need to log into the control panel.
A+++
(I would put the link to steadfast but the board says I don't have enough posts to link websites. Never heard of such a thing.)

I have a couple of things I could use some help with. I'm currently using shared hosting and have completely outgrown it. I need to move to a fully managed dedicated server.
The first thing I need some help with is figuring out what hardware configuration (in general) is going to be needed for the type of sites I'm managing and the next is getting feedback on a good hosting company.
Here's a quick description of the domains that I'm managing:
1. One domain is run with e107, Coppermine and Simple Machines Forum. It will have 1000+ potential paid subscription members. The gallery will have 30,000+ images.
2. Second domain will be running PhpProbid auction software. It will hopefully have similar stats as stampwants dot com. They are a specialized site (mine is going to be more general) but their numbers are what we are shooting for with our new site.
3. Third domain will be the same configuration as #1 but will be on a much smaller scale with free membership.
4. Fourth domain will only be running a Serendipity blog.
5. Fifth domain will be a ZenCart ecommerce site. Fairly small, maybe 500 items listed at a time.
6. Another 8 domains are very simplistic, small sites with just a few pages of basic html.
When shopping managed server hosting it's obvious that there are many different levels of server configurations. What I'm not familiar with is which hardware components are going to influence the performance for the types of sites that I'm working with. The biggest 'in my face' issue currently on my shared hosting plan is that domain #1 above is having consistent php memory errors even when the .htaccess file is set at 64m. I only have a very small portion of the data loaded. The server can't handle just the programs!
The second issue is going to be much more difficult. Trying to find a company that actually delivers what they say they do. I've spent days searching online for reviews, recommendations and customers' actual experiences. I've come to the conclusion that picking hosting is worse than trying to buy a used car!

I am very interested in getting in the web hosting business and have been investigating a lot in the internet. My question is what would be the recommended hardware to start, taking in consideration the costs.
What processor?
How many cores 1,2 4...?
How many RAM?
I was thinking 2 250 GB SATA drives in RAID 1.

I'm planning on buying my first server. For processor I'll be using either an Opteron or Xeon.
Which motherboard would you suggest I get?
I saw ASUS motherboard for Opteron, but was told that ASUS board is not good enough for a server, what do you think?

I've searched quite a bit for myself now, but I have yet to find a place that offers what I need. Most of the servers seem way too overpowered for my needs, but the lower-end server offerings I've found don't have the necessary space and/or bw.
What I'm looking for is something along these lines:
I basically only need to run Apache/Lighthttpd, PHP and MySQL, along with a custom program that would only use 1-2% cpu at its peak and not more than 1mb memory. The web server part would probably not serve more than 10-20 simultaneous visits at its peak.
CPU and memory requirements are therefore very small for me. However, I need 10gb space at the very least, along with ~200gb bw.
I would preferably like the server to be located in Europe, or have very good connectivity to Europe, as I need as low pings as possible.
Unmanaged and no control panel needed.
