View 0 RepliesWe have a special application need colo space in the Washington DC area, it need 1/4 rack space, it has limited bandwidth requirements (1Mb), 5A power, 3 static IPs.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWith all the high power servers/blade servers, the 40A (@ 110V) power limit is way too small. I am wondering if there is any colo space targeted for high density application, e.g. with 10 KW/cab limit for 60A @ 208V power drops. Does anybody know of such high density colocation space? East coast is preferred.

Anyone has experience with Peer1 colocation? We're just looking to co-locate a few servers.
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?
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.
I need colo in FL, preferably in the Tampa area
The server I want to colo is a Poweredge T300.
The specs I need are:
10-15 IP's
2 TB bandwidth
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 may be interested in colocation in the san jose area and am looking for a few different providers to compare.
I'm looking for the following specs:
Full 42U Cabinent
100MBPS Unmetered
40AMPS of power.
My budget is around $2000/month.
Here are my requirements:
A. Space: 1/2 a secured cabinet
B. Location : Bay area
C. Power: 8 amps
D. B/w: 1 Mbps
I got quotes from
A. www.bayarea.net for 1 cabinet with 20 amps $699
B. www.he.net for 1 cabinet with 15 amps $600
C. www.svcolo.com/ for 1 cabinet with 15 amps $695
I am wondering who can give me 1/2 a secured cabinet for around $300 to $400
we would start to offer colocation in our rack but i would know if there any system that will limit the customer access only on the 1U or 2U posistion where the server is located inside the rack, so nobody can touch other servers
View 12 Replies View RelatedRecently i visited a Colo locally where i was given a strange pricing structure which i m confused about.
Half Rack
15 Amps
XXX Bandwidth
$600
Full Rack
20 Amps
XXX Bandwidth
$1500
Now here's the confusion when i fill up half rack it only comes to 6 to 7 servers, anything above that i m being charged per server which is $100. So here i feel i m paying just for power left aside rack and bandwidth. So purchasing 2 half racks seems more efficient.
P.S bandwidth is same on each server by the GB and not mbps or gbps.
I am shopping around for colocation options in Philly, preferable at 401 N. broad because that would be extremely convenient for me. I have read everything on this forum about Philadelphia colocation. I am having a hard time finding 1/2 rack or less. I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions or other advice. Ideally I would like to have keys to the partial rack, but I know that’s asking a lot. I have contacted several companies. Here is a breakdown:
Called Broadview / ATX. The lady that answered had no idea what I was talking about when I asked for info on "colocation". She transferred me to someone’s voicemail. I called back a few days later and finally got through to a salesperson. He seemed annoyed that I was even bothering him with less than a rack, but told me that they have 1/2 racks for $475 (with 2 year agreement) plus $120/month for 1.5/megabits.
Called Switch & Data and left a voicemail. Never heard back. I am assuming they don’t do partial rack.
Called Cross Connect Solutions. Talked to a guy but he explained they don’t do partial racks and that a full rack is "around $1000 / month" depending on bandwidth, etc.. He then gave me the name of a guy from philpop.com, and said he could probably help me.
Called the guy from philpop.com, he said he would "see what he could do"?
I talked to Matt from razorservers, that’s a definite possibility.
I looked at burst.net prices and that’s also a possibility.
Emailed quonix.com to get prices.
Any VPS providers who use a Tampa Bay area datacenter to house their servers/VPS nodes?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat 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?

Can anyone recommend a colo for 1u in Seattle area? Looking to spend < $100/month for 3mbits of bandwidth.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAny suggestions / positive experiences? The 1st preference would be Maryland side (all way up to Frederick) but the whole area is definitely of interest.

I want to create a "Client" only area that a user will have to supply a User-id and Password to gain access to and to ALL of the web pages within it. If a user does not have a User-id and Password, I want them to be able to Register for one, and if they are a "Client", then I will Activate their access.
My question is: Can someone recommend either a Free or low cost script that will allow me to do this. I would want the script to have an "Admin" function to Activate a user request, Cancel a Users access. I would also want a "User" function that would allow the user to change some of the registration data (Password, Email). I would prefer that the script is PHP.
Im trying to install an ssl purchased from godaddy for my client area using whm on my dedicated box

but keep getting an error:

well its a dedicated box and i do have a dedicated ip of course
I'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.
A client wants to FTP some files to my server but I don't want him to see/have access to all the other stuff on the server. Is there a way that I can 'corden-off' an area for him to FTP stuff to? A password protected area perhaps?

the problem is that the computer on network 192.168.0.0 cannot reach the computer at network 10.0.0.0.
This is how the connection suppose to look like:

USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes

We're currently with Rackspace with three dedicated boxes from them that we got several years ago. Rackspace has been a relativly good service for us up until last year.
Basically, the people before me were content with letting the servers sit there as they were loaded up more and more with virtual domains, more spam trap e-mail accounts and so on. Anyone who's been fourth in line will know the feeling.
Anyway, now that I am here, there are a lot of things that I'm finding we're paying Rackspace for that I could manage better on my own "if".
So, to cut costs, improve performance (we're still paying a premium price for machines that I've begun retiring from desktop usage) and generally give the webmaster more toys to tinker with, we've been discussing colocation of our own machines.
I've spoken to a LOT of people, having submitted Colotraq requests, googled, lurked on this forum (I've been a member for years, several times, actually) and discussed with friends and colleagues over IRC.
That said, I'm not finding a lot of "good options". Perhaps I'm a little biased, I've found a single host with just about everything I want, but due to a directive from my CEO, we can't use them.
Here I'll plug someone. One of the most attentive people I've ever met has been Dallas Kincaid of Xecu.net in Frederick MD. This man jumped through hoops to provide me information about his services, offered darn good rates and is generally a great person to deal with. The problem with using them is that one of our direct competitors, someone we've just ended years of litigation with, colocates with Xecu.net and I was barred from pursuing them as an option.
Anyway, here's what I require.
We currently run RHEL 2.1 AS, which needs being replaced, but as is the case in corporate settings, this has to be done gradually, without disturbing the delicate customers. On that system we've also got a slew of proprietary application that we're not willing to replace out right, but we plan to phase out over time in favor of Free Software offerings (some written in house).
I plan on running some kind of virtualization (not certain which yet, as there are pros for each) to keep these legacy systems in place while migrating our clients over as possible. Because I'm not sure what our needs in a year might be, we may deploy more VM's on the same physical machines.
A coloprovider with reasonable and abundant IP address policy and a TOS that allows virtual servers is a MUST.
One of our requirements is that the facility is in the general DC/Dulles area so that I may get to the server from my home or from work easily.
We also plan to utilize a dedicated firewall, a dedicated spam filtering appliance and a storage server. I have no problem paying for unused space if the price is reasonable, so colo providers selling 1/4 and 1/2 racks are fine even though we won't use it all.
Rackspace doesn't monitor 95th percentile bandwidth, so I'm not sure what I'd need if 95th percentile was used. However, the average monthly (combined) volume from our servers now is between 280 and 375 GB.
Does anybody here have experience with a provider they KNOW would meet my needs, so that I can compare pricing? If you've got kudos or horror stories, I'd like to hear those as well. I'm willing to overlook a reasonable price difference for good service, follow through or expertise.
As the title says, I need a VPS host in San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose area. Here's the catch though, the ARIN/WHOIS record for the host server absolutely must reflect that location due to the nature of our application.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been looking to colo a couple servers (total of 3U and 10mbit commit) in the San Jose/San Francisco area and calling around I'm getting quotes of around $1500. These quotes seem ridiculous to me--in pretty much every other market I am used to paying a little over a tenth of that--but sales guys just stand firm and say they are impacted.
Where can I find shared colo for reasonable prices in the San Jose/San Francisco area?
I don't think my requirements are really that out there--I need a mix of level3 and something else other than cogent.
I currently have CentOS running as webserver at my work, but anyone know how to connect to SAN from Centos? . I have x-windows on CentOS. I can connect to that SAN from my windows server '192.168.10.5' just fine and i pretty sure that SAN has NFS turn on.
