Does anyone know of decent data centers in or around the Orlando, Florida area (possibly as far east as Tampa...) that allows 24/7 walk-in access and doesn't charge a fortune? I'm looking for a really small amount of bandwidth but I'll need around-the-clock access to the machine.

We are starting to bring a few servers in-house rather than leasing them. We decided to do it ourselves for our email server and a few others. We are starting with a 15mbps commit on fiber (via ethernet hand off), and don't plan to exceed 20-30 any time soon, but if we did we need remove for expansion on equipment.
What Router/Router Series would you guys recommand for a small budget friendly project, but more importantly something that is very stable? I'm pretty tech savvy, however easy to configure and maintain will be high up on the list....
Also what switch brand/series would you recommend that are cost effective and can handle a decent load?
recommend me a reliable and cost-effective switch.
I need it to be able to do the basics and limit port speeds that aren't standard like 20Mbps or 30Mbps.
Please recommend me switches in all price ranges,
Can anyone recommend a good case/enclosure for a sata raid array? I would like to build an array using 500 GB SATA Harddrives. Will the server need much processing power and ram if I am going to use a decent hardware raid card? What card would you recommend? Are there any premade sata arrays that allow you to just pop in your own harddrives and don't cost thousands of dollars?
Also, can anyone recommend a enclosure if you had a server that had build in raid with 8 sata ports, but only two harddrive bays and wanted to use the entire 8 ports?
Which is the best and cost effective service for daily dedicated server backups?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe are a small Dutch company that has a few dedicated servers in the Rotterdam datacenter. At the moment we have a VPS in the US we use as secondary DNS and backup of main site.
Because we actually own quite some servers we were thinking about the posibility to co-locate one of our own servers in the US.
We only use HP Proliant servers with iLO so we could allways manage a server remotely.
What we need is.
1. Datacenter in Orlando or Miami
2. Possibility for "hands on support" like to change a HDD or to upgrade memory (for only 1 server).
3. 1U of space and around 500GB of monthly datatransfer (we currently use only 200GB).
4. Internal cPanel license!
5. A good connection to Europe and preferably alos South America (Aruba, Curacao, Venezuela).
Anyone know of a reputable Data Center Located in FL?

If your wondering why we are leaving, it is because of their none stop recurring network routing issues.
What we need:
FLORIDA BASED SERVER
Good support 24/7
unamanged
STABLE network.
2000GB per month per machine minimum
100mbps port or 1gb port
single dual core
2Gb ram
80GB HDD is plenty.
Budget 200 max per machine, which should be plenty for a basic machine like this one.
I searched google and wht and came up with not a lot of satisfying results.
What I have so far:
Hostdime (seems a bit pricey but the offers on the web side are managed servers, not sure about their network and support?)
Sagonet (thats where hivelocity.net colocate, I am not sure I want to risk having the same problems. )
colo4jax.com (Good price barely any reviews)
acceleratebiz.com (no reviews?, upgrade very very expensive)

Some of you may have read my previous posts about a dual server configuration I am currently working with. I run a high traffic forum which has up to 2-3k of people online at once. I was wondering if it could be effective to setup MySQL Replication of certain tables which are read very frequently and then modifying the script to grab data from the slave server rather than the master? For say viewing threads, forums etc. Information which isn't updated literally every second.
A few questions...
-Will this place a lot of load on the master having to write the data to the slave as well? As in would the load I save on SELECT queries be used on writing to the slave anyway?
-Could this actually be effective?
i've got a server that averages 3-4 TB a month. it is starting to max out the limits on the servers capacity and i want to setup another server on a different network that can help load balance, and if one of the servers are down for any reason the other server would take on all the load while the other server is down.
what is the best solution for this?
I've few servers which just transffered to another data center. After switfed, my sites having the problem to be access in some area. So I thought the propagation hasn't work fully. However, yesterday my technical team found that there's actually an error at the broadcast ip(entered wrongly). So we immediately change to the correct ip.
Can we get the broadcast ip work immediately cause my sites having trouble to be displayed.
We're currently testing Postini after checking with Message Labs, etc and it seemed that Postini was the most highly recommended out of all of them. We shall see, as there does seem to be ALOT that get past their filters with spam level filtering set at their most sensative level.
However, what could I do for accounts with Hosting Firms. We have a couple on Pair, and while they use SA, their filters doesn't seem to be really effective at all. Users can come in over the weekend, and have 5 valid emails out of 200 junk......
BTW, has anyone used any of the spam appliances out there lately.
We tested them about 1.5 years back and none were really effective
Anyone can tell us (from experience) a good hosting company for dedicated servers?
The most important thing for us right now is to stop a DDoS application type attack which seems to be taking place from DC++ peer to peer clients.
I have 5 desktop boxes that I need placed in a co-lo.
With minimum transfer requirements month to month, what is a ball park figure on costs?
I am betting it will take up a half rack.
I am just looking for a rough estimate, like 200 a month ot 2,000 a month?
My current hosting company - hostmysite.com - offers two Windows (IIS) hosting plans, that are almost identical except that one supports ASP.NET and the other only supports old-fashioned ASP, but not ASP.NET. The former is $20/month and the latter is $12/month.
Why would adding support for .NET increase the price by 67%? I run IIS on my network here and it's not obvious to me why .NET per-se increases cost, server loads, etc, by anything like that.
RAM: 256
Space: 10GB
BW: 100-150GB

how much this will cost?
I have developed a forum. I don't want it to be dependent on any commercial interest, so I want to at least look into how much it will cost to set up and become my own host.
an education is what I need to decide.
I am a neophyte to the hosting/forum world
One of my clients just asked me if $4.50 per GB of transfer is a lot (as they just found out that's what their web host is charging them). I told them yes, because that seems ridiculously high to me, but I'd like to give them a ballpark figure for what that should cost. I can't find any hosts that charge per GB of transfer though. Any ideas what that should cost?

Anyone done something similar with good (or bad) results? Thing of using this for hosting web sites primarily as well as some storage for mail server and some databases. Servers running raid 1 and using MS iscsi initiator. Have a vlan setup just for iscsi traffic in my 48 port gigabit switch.
Are the TOE cards better to have or is the MS Initiator good enough. Plan on using the second NIC on the servers solely for ISCSI transfer.

In these conditions how much difference can lighttpd can do as compared to apache for keeping my 600 MB Ram VPS host constant.
I run a small cluster (5+) of servers and would like to move them behind a dedicated switch with my own dedicated bandwidth. I expect my bandwidth usage to be around 20 Mbps, measured at 95 percentile (greater of incoming or outgoing bandwidth). I have been quoted a price by my supplier but finding it rather high I wanted to ask users here what should be an average/reasonable cost for 1 mbps, assuming the servers are managed, the bandwidth is multi-tiered and the service is good.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy company rents machines and hosts our sites world wide. Lately we've seen a nice deal from MyDediServer here on WHT and rented out a QuadCore at a nice price.
We hoped that the "you get what you pay for" don't happen here but we were WAY wrong.
We started this weeks discovering the server is down. No access, no pings no SSH.
As there is no remote boot option I open an urgent ticket to support asking them to reboot the machine immediatly. After 2 hours of "we are on it" replies I chatted with their support only to be told "Admins will reboot it soon".
All and all it took them 12 (!!!) hours to reboot my machine and to top that when I've asked why it was down at the first place they ignored my questions (I've asked via ticket, email and support chat - all 3 ignored me).
I did claim it's either a DC, Network or machine problem yet they claim it is not.
Machine messages log is clean and no shutdown was issued.
Anyway Today (2 days after) I got a newspaper article made about my site ($$$) and when I came online to see traffic I was shocked to find out that the machine is down and off the grid yet again (!).
A support ticket was opened again two hours ago and a reboot is yet to be seen.
My feedback - keep clear - don't use them and avoid them even if they hand out free 8-core machines (!). They seem to be a one man (if at all) show with no to low customer orientation and a non-existing to low-existing support.
My guess is that they have a "chat operator" in India while the DC control does only US prime time support hence when I ask for a reboot it won't happen till the DC guys wake up in the US which sucks.
I try to avoid trash talk as I hate that but these guys are the worst I've ever used (and I rented out at dozens of companies).
KEEP CLEAR!
My users frequently tell me that my website is slow, but it doesn't seem to be so, for me. Are there objective tools and criteria to test its speed (response time, max transfer etc)?
Also, I'm currently paying $1 for GB of transfer. How much does it usually costs?
Since my hosting company sets php_safe off, I'm considering changing it.Can you guys recommend me a hosting plan that has:
- ssh with vi etc: this is important
- A FAST server
- Norway-based (to enjoy .torrents without being bothered) or US Based (to enjoy "fair use", which seems to be exclusive to the USA)
- 1-3GB of space
- LOTS of transfer. I don't consume many gigabytes yet, but someday I will.
- Some kind of hacking protection. I'm damn scared of my website suffering a vampire attack and having to pay for the raeped bandwidth.
Does anyone here use Gigenet Proxyshield that protects your server from DDOS attacks? They don't list the price on their website here:

So i'm guessing it's probably expensive. Anyone know how much it costs?
Also, on their order form it asks you for an "ATTACK SIZE". What does this mean and what would you write?
