i would like to know if you can suggest me a good datacenter to buy and colocate servers.
I need EU bandwidth, possibly Germany or Notherlands.
Do you have any suggestions?
I could only find 1 "big" provider on the offers section.
recommendations for colocation in Europe, preferably NL or DE based?
Basic requirement:
1-5U initially, option to expand into half and full rack over time.
Reasonably priced bandwidth.
Decent remote hands when needed.
A sensible AUP would also be a requirement. I prefer a host to give you an opportunity to address any issues (such as a compromised system, copyright protected content, or similar) *before* they actually pull the plug. From what I have seen, some hosts will disable your switch port(s) almost the moment they receive a complaint - which is not acceptable.
to expand somewhere in western Europe for our gaming services. Anybody know a good datacenter with good tier1 backbones (level3, internap...)

What datacenters are there and what about colo-providers?
I have a community web site with high traffic. The site is similar to facebook, meaning we send a notification for every action (new messages, poke, ....).
I was wondering what solution would you suggest for mail server? For now I have a powerful server with postfix that sends around 12000 emails per day (using the php mail function at every action).
Is there a better solution? Should i get another server and relay to 2 servers?
Is there any tools to check if the server is able to handle all emails or if I need another server.
I am "simply" looking to run a Joomla! community site with an estimated 250 - 500 and then eventually up to 1,000 users onine at one time. The main attraction will be the user forums and profiles. I don't plan on having any videos or anything like that, but I will install a mambot that will integrate Google Video, etc.
I am trying to pick a VPS provider and from what I have read so far, I have kind of narrowed it down to a few places:
Spry.com
vpslink.com
knownhost.com
mediatemple.net
From reading alot so far, I would imagine I would need at least 256-512MB of RAM. Plesk sounds like a good control panel since I won't be reselling any of the space. Webmin sounds too hands on, and I know a little bit, but not a lot. The backup option that comes with Spry.com sounds tempting, but VPSLink has attractive price points. Mediatemple.net also gives you 1TB of bandwidth, a very attractive option.

Based on todays equipement I know a person can spend Thousands on a good server, I'm looking to build my own and just want some advice on which way to go.
I'm thinking of just building the server pc in one case and the hard drive setup will be in a seperate case with the following:
3ware 9690SA-8E controller
Mass-Storage 8x by A-Tech Fabrication for a case
8 - SATA2 SEAGATE 1TB (7200rpm) 32MB on the controller as RAID
Can anyone give advice on what would be a good setup if you were running 1 single server for local businesses. I don't want to hear just pay for a provider as I've heard that one before now I'm looking to know what hardware setup you would run I like to play and learn. Even though sometimes the headache playing isn't as much fun as we sometimes may have hoped.
What are m/b and processor options for running a server?
What is min. amount of ram a person should run using linux and cpanel?
Should linux be on a max. amount of space for root and server files on a seperate mnt?

I recently moved my site from a shared hosting plan at $5 a month to a VPS at JaguarPC. I took advantage of one of the offers here at Web Host Talk. My setup has cPanel with 320MB of RAM. I have another site running the same software (Joomla, vBulletin) with cPanel and only 256MB of RAM at KnownHost.
I've had zero problems with Knownhost and the site is snappy. The site hosted at JaguarPC continues to have all kinds of problems. Running a number of sites, I don't always get to check in on my sites unless I know of a problem. I'm sorry I didn't pay more attention to this site, because it was having all types of PHP memory issues. When I first contacted JaguarPC, they said they boosted the memory in Apache. The issues remained, so I contacted them again. They recommended more RAM. Now, I checked on my KnownHost site and that's running on 256MB. I figured that maybe JaguarPC didn't allocate enough RAM when they set up the VPS. They confirmed 320MB. Not wanting to change hosts, I asked them to poke around a bit more, considering what I know about KnownHost and my success there.
I received this response:
have checked and you are running named service on your server. named caches dns data and this can also consume a lot of memory, sometimes over a 100 MB may be consumed by this service.
In addition to cPanel and named which are most memory consuming applications running on your server, there are other applications like apache web server and the php scripts running on the server also consume some memory.
It is highly recommended that you upgrade the RAM on your VPS significantly to avoid such problems which may cause disruption of service. You can find a list of RAM and other VPS addons in the following link.
Instead of helping me resolve the problem, they simply keep asking me to get more RAM.
For SEO purposes, I like to keep my sites on different hosts. Can anyone recommend a VPS?
I was certainly unaware that "named service" had such an impact on my VPS. If that's the case, is there any harm in not having this? SEO or otherwise?
I'm very interested in a dedicated server with the following specification:
Dual Core Xeon
4GB DDR2 RAM
2TB + 73GB SAS 15,000

I don't want it in .nl or .de (so please no leaseweb, grafix, ecatel, netdirekt, vectoral, etc)
where to buy server chassis in Europe?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a dedicated server for webhosting business. The server should have atleast 1Tb HD space and it should be in EU region. The best prices I've found so far are from hetzner.de. Can you recommed other ones?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm specifically looking for a server in the European area since I am from South Africa.
The reason being they will be more or less in the same timezone as I am and they also generally provide the fastest ping times (220ms to a server in Europe as opposed to 350ms to a server in USA).
I will be using the server as our own hosting space and hopefully be able to rent a monthly license for Parallels Plesk so that I may be able to resell hosting space - this is the primary reason for the dedicated server. I would like to know whether getting at least a quad core for this setup is essential or if I can get away with a dual core (in the case of hosting say 50 - 100 different websites).
So far I have been looking at keyweb.de which has a dual-core setup at 79euro installation fee and 49euro monthly fee. Their quad-core setup is 99euro installation and 59euro monthly. One drawback is it seems that they don't install Ubuntu linux (which is the OS i'm after). Another one is that their website isn't very intuitive - I cannot see whether it is possible to bundle Plesk with my order. I do however like the fact that they generally allow torrents.
actually I have my dedicated server with ThePlanet since many years ago, where I'm really happy, but due to recent spanish laws, I need to move everything to a european dedicated server as ThePlanet isn't certificated at the "Safe Harbor directive".
============
This is what I actually have:
2x1024 MB DDR 266 ECC
1 Dell 1600SC Dual Xeon MB DAT54AMB8C2
2 Intel P4 Xeon 2.8 GHz 533FSB (4x2.8)
2500Gb Bandwidth
Linux+Cpanel
============
What I'm looking for, is a serius company (no reseller company) with similar dedicated servers configurations. What I'm looking for is also a 1Gbps uplink connection. Bandwith is not so important, as my monthly bandwidth is only about 300Gb.
I've seen very fast (connection) servers in Netherland but don't know how serious they are.
OVH (apparently) looks also fine, but I've read very bad reviews about them.
I am currently finding a server which is located in the Europe side, preferably in Germany or Netherlands.
Server with 80gb of space, min of 512mb of ram and 1tb of transfer per mth. 100mbit connection.2 ip is enough.
Hope ircd can be run too.
Hope the price does not exceed 35 pounds. But willing to negotiate.
Can you recommand me a company or a private reseller for dedicated servers in eastern europe or russia?
Here are my requirements:
-1GHZ CPU
-512MB RAM
-10 GB hDD
-50mbit dedicated and unmetered connection with nearly all traffic to the EU and a ratio of 1:1
-good ping and speed to the EU
Hi, I am looking for a windows VPS provider. Ideally with servers in the USA. I am currently TRYING to register with cheapvps.co.uk, but until now I have been unsuccessful. I registered 9 days ago, and they have not yet been able to provision it yet at cheapvps. Every time I send a message asking about my server I get a reply from Paul or Russ with a one-liner like "I'll have someone look at it", "I've asked them to fix it" "It takes 24 hours" "etc", always one lines, not a single explanation.
I will give them some more time, cause honestly I hope they get to set up the server and give me the great service I have read so many people in this forum rave about, but right now I am starting to look for alternatives just in case cheapvps cannot handle my request (a standard config from the options they offer). As I said hopefully its just a perfect storm once in a lifetime type of situation which I unluckily had to go through....but I have not received any explanations yet...just one liners.
My online store is almost ready to publish and Im trying to work my head around this SSL thing.
So through reading on here Ive determined that only the cart or PII areas need to be secured, not the entire site.
My host provided a free SSL cert but I discovered that it is a domain verification SSL only and there is no "clickable seal" or business verification. Verification is important however Im not sure I need an EV cert (nor that I can afford it).
Im looking for business verification, clickable seal, 128/256, 2048bit, free reissue.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a SSL cert and what I might need? There was someone in the ads forum offering a GlobalSign OrganizationalSSL cert for $100yr. Does this seem like a good deal? There isnt a lot of feedback about GlobalSign on the net.
After being hit by a DDoS (managed to evade it for a while, but it's still painful due to downtimes) I'm looking for a DDoS-protected server somewhere in Europe. I don't care about the exact location, it just has to be outside Canada and the USA. I do not require a lot of traffic - using just about 1.5GBs per day, diskspace also is not an issue, so the main things is the DDoS protection, connection availability and the general level of service.
Searching through this forum, I've found the only possible option for a DDoS-protected being DataPipe (contacted and awaiting for a quote already). Have I missed something else? Are there any alternative good hosters with reliable networks and protection in the EU?
Does anyone have any recommendations for a company that could provide a reasonably priced, reliable, unmanaged server for me somewhere in western europe?
I'll need a reasonable amount of bandwidth, so this is a consideration.
I'm based in the UK, but willing to look at other, more digitally enlightened countries nearby (Norway, Finland, France, Germany, etc) to get a better price since servers are very expensive here.
The server be hosting a big AJAX application so latency is a consideration also.
My employer has decided to let me move thier sites to a new hosting company. I can finally get rid of 1and1.
I have just over 50 domains with about 25 that had sites. I was paying $30 a month for hosting on a shared Linux server for these sites. The sites are small and can be put on another shared plan.
One thing I do need is PHP to MS SQL. 1and1 did not support MS SQL from PHP. I also would like to pay no more than what I was paying. The only good thing I can say is that I have had 100% uptime with 1and1.
I am shopping for a new web host. I'm interested in finding one that has reasonable rates, can spend about $150/year. I want to be able to host DNN sites in addition to regular ASP.Net sites.

I am interested on VPS 200W.
The server was going down every week or so since Christmas when I bought it. I re-imaged it, still going down. 3 times in fact this week. The logs say nothing out of the ordinary. I'm sure it just has to be hardware fault, but thier customer support takes ages to answer, are useless, pass you around drom department to department, and are not allowed to make outgoing calls! I'm halfway through a 12 month contract I bet it even says the uptime is not guarenteed as it's my root server....
Anyway, can anyone recommend (yes I've googled but want something specific) a good company with a good record that do plesk, because I've got used to it! Or any suggestions how to ditch 1and1 or get them to change the actual server?
We have several different websites, and trying to spread them out to different datacenters and companies to find a good fit (after a fire at one datacenter had us down for days).
We first had HostGator (semi-dedicated account when they had those) and our main problem initially was them shutting the site down when it used too many resources and them putting up a contact billing message for our customers at the peak of an email campaign that sparked the high resource usage. After that heated frustration, we got on a dedicated account with them and haven't really had any/many problems since. So can't complain too much there other than wishing we got the dedicated first and for them to have used a more diplomatic way of transferring us to a higher account level when needed than the message most customers saw during the transition.
When The Planet had that fire that knocked servers down for days, we were effected with our HostGator server. Not that it's to be expected again, but wanted to get a different dedicated server for our other sites to have some options in case of disaster and having multiple servers/companies to move things around if needed.
So we then got a dedicated server with Lunarpages. I was not unhappy with their customer support response as they've been fairly prompt IMO (at least compared to some other comments I've read around since) but we seem to have never-ending troubles at first with SSL installation (self-install and then them installing) and then general domain DNS, resolving and configuration problems. We call them literally every day as it goes down every day (server up but site not resolving) and they get it back up and then it goes down again for whatever reasons yet to be determined apparently. Not sure if different techs doing something different each time, or server being hacked, or what. It's running essentially the same stuff I believe that's working on the other dedicated server but with different graphics mostly.
So the inability to get that figured out has us searching for a new dedicated server. Otherwise, I think we'd be happy there if it just stayed working. Here's what we have/require:
- Multiple domains each with own SSL certificate.
- php and mysql needed with highly-customized oscommerce scripts running on each domain that use a lot of queries and resources.
- cpanel or something similar preferred for admin.
- About 1000 visitors on each domain per day.
- Need some tech support for resolving problems when they come up or would just buy/manage server ourselves.
- Budgeted for a step above the low-end dedicated server level for many companies, but not over $300 a month looking at the market.
We are looking at a couple different hosting companies but haven't used any of them previously. Would still like to try another company for the other server before putting both on HostGator but having bad luck so far. We are considering:
- InMotion (advanced dedicated server account). I've communicated with sales/support and seem incredibly responsive as all comments I've read, but not a ton out there on them.
- Fused Network
- SteadFast Networks
- Gigenet
- LiquidWeb
Probably in that order from initial research, but hard to know what to believe sometimes. Sometimes you have to just find out for yourself, but hoping for suggestions in regards to the best bet to try next for our situation. Already have read some helpful information from others about some of the hosts previously here, but sometimes things change over time (as it seems like with Lunarpages then and now). Hopefully our experiences with HostGator (both positive and negative) and Lunarpages helps others out too.
I see that Peachy Dandy offers hosting for adult content. But I was also wondering if anyone has any other hosts that they would recommend.

Need a really high-quality channel of communication and operational support, etc. Perhaps for these tasks, you recommend other requirements to a server and placing the territory? Check your real council.
Also look in the direction of affordable rental server and utilization of services: Akamai Technologies. If someone has experience working with Akamai, I ask, share their views. Should I use it for such a project?
A lot of information has been revised to servers in Germany, UK and USA. But the single answer, yet to be found.
I am planning to make my hands dirty by buying couple of server which can host one server with hits upto 10000 hits per day and another one to host to have shared hosting.
Could you please give some guidance about the type of server that I need to buy and I also need a good colocation service in london area which can offer 100 MBPS with unlimited bandwidth. (May be I am stupid here in asking about the bandwidth).
