View 6 RepliesDoes anyone have any recommendations of vendors who sell fully configured supermicro systems (rack mount) in the central america area?
They will also need to be able to deal with overseas customers since we live outside america but we wish to have the systems shipped to our colo host.
i have some server at a data center but it dont provide any remote reboot port and any BW monitoring and etc..
i have to run my own monitoring system,and i need a bit more info for this.
which software is required for this and which hardware base i need?
Knownhost has Servers in Texas and in California. You get double the bandwidth (with no price increase) if you take the California servers.
I live in Vancouver Canada which is on the west coast above California. So when I ping/traceroute Texas vs. California, the California servers do better for me sitting at my desktop.
My question is this...
What is better for people who will be hitting my pages? If most of my visitors will be scattered throughout the U.S. is it a lot better to have my pages hosted centrally in Texas, or is there only going to be marginal difference.
Would you take double the bandwidth on the west coast or would you prefer your servers located centrally in the U.S.?
I am really not sure if the location is effecting to speed. I am chooing a provider for colo'ing few servers. I know each region has very good providers (in both services and network, from reviews on WHT), but
- from the west coast to central, the latency difference is around 30 - 40ms
- from the central to the east coast, the latency difference is around 30ms
so, if I go with a provider in west coast, it really saves me 60-70ms latency from my area. However, someone likes gnax in east coast using Route Science, that's advertised to help to get the better routes.
I dont see any in west coast using RS or FCP. So, should I go
- with a "normal" provider (I mean network without RS or FCP equipments) in west coast,
- or with a provider with RS/FCP in any place?
Is the location really effecting to performance?
Do you know American Linux and/or Windows VPS Providers?
** Please note, dont list US Providers.
Please list any company you know.
I`ll try my best to do so too.Hope to list all providers here.
colo a mid-tower server in Central/ Eastern Iowa or Southeast Minnesota.

I would like to start a web page in Southern America so I can advertise I guess on there "domain" or host country( I'm not even sure if that is what it is called.) I basically want to have a Southern American web site where they can find it in there directory or if it were googled in South America they could find it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMost 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?
We've been investigating software and appliances that would allow us a central, web based login to manage access and users to all the servers with IPMI cards. Does anyone use anything other than appliances from avocent or raritan?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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 am currently renting a dedicated server in North America with the following specs:
Processor : INTEL Core2Duo E6400
Memory : 2048MB RAM Standard
Bandwidth : 10Mbps Unmetered Bandwidth
Control Panel :PLESK 8.3
I would like something similar, but in the UK (or near by), and closely priced to what I pay now.
For the complete package above, I pay $250/month.
Does anyone know of a great service across the ocean which has similar services, for a great price? I don't need the full 10mbit line, a 5mbit line would suit my needs. I would prefer Plesk, and at least 2048MB of ram. The processor should be comparative.
My website is 100% Vbulletin, and is quite large in size (hence the server requirements).
Is it possible to use a Central MailServer Proxy (eg. Dovecot Director/Proxy or Nginx). We have many Plesk Server. All with Postfix and Dovecot.... On each Server is a SSL Cert for MailService but we want ONE Host... mail.example.com with one SSL Cert.
How is it possible to Sync the User from all Hosts with a MailProxy? Only so customers can be transferred from server to server.

I'm the proprietor of a high-bandwidth site, and obviously, it's important to me to get the cheapest bandwidth possible. I've looked around, and it seems like European web hosts provide cheaper prices than North American hosts.
However, most of my users are in North America. Will a server in Europe be able to deliver the full available bandwidth to users in the US? If not, how much of it should I expect?

Anyone have recommendations / references for Mexico / Latin America wireless ISPs and coverage areas?

Is there a "premium" for colocation space in cabinets which are taller than 42U? I'm putting some cabinets into a datacenter cage, which I will lease to 3rd parties as colocation cabinets, and there is plenty of height below the ceiling (about 290 cm). I could put in 42U cabinets, but I could go taller, up to about 48U.
The cabinets will have about 10 kW delivered to them (8 kW usable per cabinet), but the UPS is sized for an average load of 5 kW per cabinet. Cabinet depth is 1200 mm. There will be cable tray 10 cm above the cabinet.
If you were going to colo 5 kW of equipment (average) per cabinet, would 48U cabinets have value to you over 42U high cabinets?
I found a couple of phrases mentioning them here on WHT, both praising and negative. Can't make up my mind.

I've looked into the Rapid switch data centre in Berkshire, aswell as Blue square in Maidenhead.
I'm with is looking to colo 2 x 1RU servers in the US, so looking for suitable colo facilities.
We definitely want to buy, own and manage the servers ourselves, so we're after colo & bandwidth, not server rental.
As we're new to colo in the US, any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Servers will be 2 x quad core CPU, 8GB RAM, 2 x SAS HDDs, 1 x PSU, so we'll obviously need a facility able to provide the required power at a reasonable cost.
We'll need 4 network points, 2 for each server (1 Internet, 1 LOM).
Bandwidth wise, we're expecting to start with low demand, but grow steadily over the next two to three years.
Ideally we're after flat rate bandwidth in the order of 512Kbps - 2 Mbps, aggregated across the network points, with no excess usage charges.
95th percentile billing is also an option, but less preferred - we'd much rather know we have a fixed monthly OpEx, instead of the unpleasant surprise of a large excess bandwidth bill!
We're happy to look at other bandwidth options, so long as they provide a fixed monthly cost, and let us scale at a reasonable price, as we need it.
We'll like a /28 of IP space - 8-10 usable, but may be able to get away with a /29 if it's the make or break decision.
I am looking to colo a 1U server in a DC in North Carolina. I would need a 10Mbit line un-metered or a metered 100mbit.
I could negotiate on the bandwidth if its not possible in NC .
I have been researching for a while and the DCs here are very very expensive so far...
I've recently acquired a 1U rack mount server from eBay. I believe it kicks some butt...and now I am thinking about looking for a colocation provider to host it for me.
It's for my own websites, not web hosting or storage. I don't need any sophisticated control panel, as I've pretty much made my own. I only need enough IP addresses to have my own name servers and one for all of my websites (I don't need each site to have a unique IP). I don't need any management help as I can manage my own servers. A simple data center control panel with the ability to hard reboot my server would be nice.
However, if the provider charges anything above $70-$80, I can just rent a dedicated server for around the same price. I know the dedicated server would not have the same features and hardware as my server, but if I'm providing the server, why should I be charged the same amount as if they were providing me with a server?
I'm trying to figure out my whole DNS situation now that I switched over to colocation. I have 2 servers, one hosts multiple sites and the other is just a backup.
I'm not sure what to do with DNS hosting. I could either host my DNS on both the servers (ns1,ns2 main server ns3,ns4 backup server). Does this mean if the main server goes down (ns1,ns2) it'll start using ns2,ns3? If so, can I just have ns2,ns3 point to my backup server IPs and traffic will just resume on the backup of the main server goes down?
If I go with a service like DNSMadeEasy.com, can I just point my main domain's name servers to ns1.dnsmadeeasy.com, ns2, ns3, etc.. and then point all my other domain's name servers back to my main domain OR would I have to point all my individual domains to dnsmadeeasy's name servers?
I have several servers on datacenters.
I was wondering, I always did, that is would be so much nicer to own the hardware. I looked for colocation prices in the past but the prices where allot higher then to rent from a datacenter.
Is this really so?
Is best to buy the hardware and send it to a colocation service or to rent a specific harware.
The colocation prices are normally per Mbit, that means there is not montly GB limits, you can go as fast a the switch allows?
How can you test if you are really getting the speed, any guarantee.
Also what happens if a hard disk fails? Do you have to buy one on overnight and send it to the datacenter? They will charge you for installation i suppose.
We are looking for reviews of colocation companies offering quarter racks at BlueSquare, or another data centre in the south of England. We are based in Dorset and as far as we can tell the nearest data centres are in Bournemouth (not open yet), Southampton (don't know too much about those) and Maidenhead (BlueSquare, where we currently colocate a couple of 1U servers).
Companies we have been considering are connexions4london, a1isp and netrino but we are a bit short on information about their reputations. Reliability is the single most important thing to us, we are not necessarily looking for the cheapest, but for somebody with a good history of service level.
Can anybody tell us about their experiences with any of these companies? I heard about some trouble with Netrino last year but nothing recent, and also a that a1isp use netrino, can anybody confirm or deny that? We have also spoken extensively with connexions4london but we would have to sign up for at least a year - which we would be happy to do if we knew their service was great.
I have a few questions which I'd like answered if possible.
Firstly, I understand 1U is the space in the rank etc etc -- my question is, does one server usually fill up one 1U?
What is meant by premium bandwidth? is that a type of bandwidth charge? is there any other types?
What is meant by 5mbps?
could anyone explain to me what colocation is?
