We are looking for co-location in all big cities of Canada. To start with we are looking for Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary. The space required is 1U to 2U. Monthly bandwidth consumption will be around 5MB or slightly more. The Gateway will be connected with PRI's coming from telco. We'll take care of Telco.

We have a need for a 1/4 or 1/2 rack of space somewhere in the Lower Mainland of BC, ideally in Vancouver but will consider other locations. Needs are pretty basic: 10-20RU of space, 1 20A power circuit, a single 100Mbps network drop, ~200GB of transfer.

I'm about at my end of dealing with Toronto providers but before we pull the plug on our T.O location, I figured I'd request a couple more recommendations.www.servertag.com - Used them in the past and had some issues with downtime / response times. Would rather not use them again.www.upscalehost.com - Amazing Toronto host but they're killing us by charging 95th percentile.
We're after a standard dedicated box (not celeron) with 1500-2000GB monthly limit.
Know of a company? Maybe a neighbour with a rack in 151?
I'm a very small home-based start-up business that currently is having huge amounts of trouble with a webhost here in Vancouver. This webhost has been named recently on WHT as one to avoid. I never had a problem with them the whole 2 years that I only had a poster uploaded to this host. But as soon as I uploaded my first version of my site to this host, the problems came fast and furious. First it was not being able to log into the webmail to view any emails (which it should be known, I had only some test emails from my website forms). Then as of August 27, my site disappeared. I opened tickets. They closed them, saying problem solved. Problem was obviously not solved as I couldn't log onto Plesk, nor was my website visible to the world!
I didn't realize that website hosting was an unscrupulous business. Sigh. I've learned the hard way. I had paid a year in advance (in fact, think I was double billed to boot!). My .ca domain remains there currently as I search for a new webhost. I am loathe to mention the company although I'm sure a few can guess as I would like to recoup my domain as I have currently paid for advertising pointing to my website. All phone calls went unheeded (call centres in the US and elsewhere, even though these trained monkeys are told to say Vancouver).
Anyway, I have been lurking and reading and have been doing my due diligence; however, most reputable companies seem to be located back East. I have noted from all your posts that it would be better to have the data centre nearby.
I would like to support Canada; and in particular, Vancouver. Uptime and having a visible site is paramount to me...as is REAL technical support. I am not web-hosting savvy and I do not want to be taken advantage of again. I am interested in a shared web-hosting plan (I don't have any e-commerce or streaming video or any special needs...at the moment. My site isn't huge, but I can't check how much bandwidth or anything that I used because I can't log on...pretty minimal though).
I created my site from a Windows platform. Does this mean I need a Windows shared hosting plan?
Can anyone out there recommend a reputable HONEST Vancouver-based, Vancouver data centred webhost with very good technical support and excellent uptime?
How far is the max that you would setup servers (half rack) in a DC?
I'm in Ottawa, and from what I've found in my research, the closest DCs with reasonable prices are in Montreal, which is a ~2 hour drive. Is that too far to sucessfully run a hosting business?
Also, does anyone know of DCs that are closer?
we are currently in the process of promoting our datacenter room in the west island of Montreal (+/- 1500 sqft) currently at 30% occupation.
We mainly target small companies who look for sub 50$/month colocation space in Montreal. Of course this will not include large amount of bandwidth but i would like to have your opinion on our current promotion.
1 U Colocation space
Remote Reboot (APC)
IPs on request (up to 16 Ips if justified)
100 Mbits port on cisco switched network
50 GB monthly bandwidth
49$ per month CDN or 39$ per month USD
No contract or install fees

What do you guys suggest as the best facility in Toronto, Ontario ? How is 151 front street ? How about Level 3 Toronto or Peer 1 Toronto ? I am really looking for a prime data center in Toronto.

I am aware of:Infinity,SpireTech,EasyStreet,Opus Interactive,ViaWest,iLand in that area.
1. Can anyone colo'd with these companies verify quality/satisfaction?
2. Please suggest other providers if I am missing them?
Any idea who owns this data center that Scratch is offering space in?
www.scratchtelecom.com
It is very close to one of my people so it would be convenient. Does Scratch actually own this facility?
We based in Canada. Do we have to pay taxes duties when sending a server out to US for colocation?
colo in Montreal even though prices appear to be much higher than pretty much anywhere else.
I just got offered 450$ for half cab ( 15A ) and 250$ per mbps, 3 mbps commit for 12 months.
Provider is pretty big and tier 2 network.
Say I have my own office to start building out my own "mini" data center.
If I wanted a lot of bandwidth for the most reasonable cost, how do one go about buying bandwidth from various providers? What is Metro-Ethernet vs. say a DS3? I know there is Fractional DS3 (6 to 45mb/s) and then Ethernet services up to GigE. I'd rather not mess with BGP right now either.
If I am looking at 15-20mb/Sec of bandwidth, what would be a good route to go? My budget is about $1500/month for bandwidth and IP Addresses (I need 2 Full Class-C IP Spaces). I also want to be able to turn up speed as needed without a lot of hassle.
Is this a reasonable budget? And where would be a good place to start? Just call up like Level 3 or am I too small potatoes to even deal with?

I took a package out with them about two months ago and have been hosting my site top100links.info on it for about a month and half without any problems.
Then on Thursday my site went down and stayed down until last night which is pretty shocking. I emailed them about four times and they still haven't got back to me, which i'm pretty annoyed about.
Has anyone else encountered similar problems?
Should I move my site to someone more reputable or stick it out and hope that it was a one off?Chris

to block a city from accessing a site. Is this really possible? I have a client who insists they have seen it done, but I cannot find a way to find IP address ranges from just a certain city (I don't even think that exists?)
On the other hand, how does Google Analytics and other places know which cities visitors are coming from? So in that regard I guess maybe it is possible?

We need people with Peer1 as a backbone and where we can (with a planned schedule that we can arrange with you) go in frequently to do maintenance on the server.
We need this in both Vancouver and New York.
We'd just get collocation directly from Peer1 in those parts but it's too costly.
Anyone know of where to go?
If not, anyone know of any companies there that peer with Peer1 in that area whose colo is cheaper?
I was wondering if there is any good but not pricey colo in Toronto that I could use a ATX tower for server.
Also, includes 1000 in 1000 out and CPanel....

I went in, not expecting much, but i can say they exceeded my expectations and that I am pleased with them.
They are definitely not as fancy and over the top impressive as q9. But i do think they offer alot of value without many sacrifices.
