View 1 Repliesi am about to sign up for equinix's colocation service in LA. I am just curious if anyone else is paying similarly outrageous cross connect fees.. they are charging $300 for ethernet, and $200 for DS3.

My rep explained it's for the connection from my cabinet to their switch. Is this a typical charge for colocation? I thought cross connect is for connecting from their facility to 3rd party providers.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have two RedHat EL 4 boxes linked via a cross-connect. One is a web server (10.0.0.3) and one is a mySQL server (10.0.0.2), the interface between them is eth1 on both machines and a second interface eth0 connects to the internet.
I want to use the web server to send queries to the database server via eth1, 10.0.0.2:3306 in this case. If I send a database query via eth1 there is a delay of about 10-20 seconds before the result comes back. If I send the same query to the database server but use it's main IP instead of the internal IP so that the query is being sent to it over the internet (xx.xx.xx.xx:3306), the result comes back instantly.
Similarly, if I send a query from any remote server the result is instant.
Why should there be such a huge delay when sending a query directly through the cross-connect?
The routing table ( ip route show ) for the web server is:
xx.xx.xx.xx/xx dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src xx.xxx.xx.xx
10.0.0.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.0.3
default via xx.xx.xx.xx dev eth0
and the routing table on the database server is:
xx.xx.xx.xx/xx dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src xx.xx.xx.xx
10.0.0.0/8 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.0.2
default via xx.xx.xx.xx dev eth0
I have ifcfg-eth1 on both boxes:
DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
IPADDR=10.0.0.3 / 10.0.0.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
Both boxes can ping each other and transfer files using wget without any apparant problems or delays.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this 10-20 second delay when sending queries through the cross-connect?
How much is your rack fees per month for your servers?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI might end up colocating at a datacenter which serves as a POP for cogent, however the setup fee is $1,000 for this (they already have their own fiber in their building).
Have you ever gotten the setup fee waived before or any tips on negotiating these kinds of things. I don't know if its upto the sales guy to make the call or not.
I have a dedicated server currently hosted over by Aplus.NET
I have a 3000 GB Monthly Transfer limit and we have been going over this limit for the past few months. This has resulted in a large sum of overage fees.
I am looking to go to another hosting company that is just as good as Aplus.NET, if not better... with a better traffic rate. A friend told me about Choopa.com and I wanted to know how good of a company they were. What are some other top reliable hosting companies with premium servers and that specialize in unmetered bandwidth?
I have a facility that offers racks and bandwidth (expensive), however the same facility is a POP for Cogent as well, who after I contacted informed me that I can buy bandwidth from them directly and just have the racks with said facility.
Now, besides my servers, do I need to own anything in order for me to mix my 100MB uplink from my Rack provider and Cogent?
I am assuming that with Cogentco I will be able to get IPs more easily and thru them, so if I renew my contract I don't have to migrate class C no matter what datacenter I host (as long as I have cogent in the mix, correct?)
BTW; is it usual to get charged anything for BGP or cross-connect, what do you pay?
On IIS6 many of thesite are under cross scripting attack I tried by remove the the code but it affects again after some time I reset the ftp password and passowrd is a combination of complex alpna numeric character.I have cheked the permission it is ok.
How you guys fight with cross dcripting attack.

That's the wordpress .htaccess
What makes me wonder is if we delete RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f, it won't work.
As if there is a recursion. However, there can't be a recursion given the [L] thing right?
I would like to make a cgi cross platforms. Some servers are running Ubuntu server, 32 bit others are running Centos 64 bit and so one. How do i make a cgi script that run well at least for Linux based operating systems such as Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat and so one ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two VPS's, VPS1 has one vbulletin community. VPS2 has about 10 cpanel accounts, mostly email, a blog site, etc. Both VPS's well under 10 gig in size not including any backups stored on the VPS.
For the more important VPS, VPS1, I am packaging the cpanel account (50mb) and SCPing it to VPS2.
I am also running pckgacct on the cpanel accounts on VPS2 (about 2 gig total, 1 tar.gz is 1.5gb, three others around 250mb, others smaller) and storing them on VPS2.
I then have WS_FTP scheduled to download the cpanel tar.gz files each night to a local machine.
I also have WHM setup to do daily incremental backups, but am not moving any of these offsite.
So, it seems I have three options:
Keep doing what I am doing.
Keep moving VPS1 tar.gz files to VPS2, but also start moving VPS2 tar.gz files to VPS1.
Start moving tar.gz files (or raw files with rsync) to offsite storage.
I'm curious on some feedback about the three options. These are personal sites, I am not reselling any sites/packages.
It seems like from a data security standpoint (email and stuff), the more 'locations' introduced into the loop, the less security there will be. Does anyone get concerned about moving their email and other data to offsite storage services?
As I said, I have a technical solution currently working, but I am wondering about the theory/data protection aspects of the various options for going forward.
I'm trying to set up a login script on twenty subdomains that will be checked on another subdomain. I've found this example for different domains and figure it should be simple enough to utilise but my ereg is crappy

Just wondering what problems a listing here will cause for emails
[url]and it is Level 3.
rejected emails to some or all other networks?
This is for a Data Center's IP ranges, they have advised the cause was 2 of their customers with 6 servers which all contained multiple IP classes on each server caused this and are saying to wait 7 days before the listings will clear.
I do not believe they will pay the express removal, not sure if they even knew about the listing until it was pointed out to them.
Details from site..
What means listed at UCEPROTECT-Level 3?
GAME OVER. We and our users have seen enough spam and heared all possible excusions why some lazy providers think to be not responsible for what their customers are doing.
We are not just another blacklist. We really know better. Massive spam is always a problem tolerated by the provider.
Your abuser / user ratio is exorbitant high. We expect some minimum standards from soneone claiming to be a professional provider.
Due to the facts that you do not reach our standards, we and many of our users have chosen to no longer allow smtp-traffic from all your IP's and ranges. See above what we are willig to tolerate as a maximum by an provider of your size.
In todays Internet it is no longer acceptable to sit down and wait for abuse to happen.
If you want to become an accepted provider with a good reputation, you will have to install preventive measures.
Click here to see what you can do to prevent spam coming from your ranges.
If you think it is not your job to prevent your IP's flooding the world with spams, we hope that you and your users will enjoy your Intranet.
How can our total ip-space be removed from UCEPROTECT-Level 3?
You can not expect to get a free ride because you are the provider. Our standard removal procedures are also valid for you.
After you have fixed the problems, the UCEPROTECT-Level 3 listing will be removed automatically and free of charge as soon as the causal Level 1 listings will expire.
Every IP listed at Level 1 expires 7 days after we have seen the last abusive action coming from it.
If you don't want your users to be affected up till the free expiration, you can optionally Expressdelist, which is charged a total of 250 EURO per ASN.
That is a huge discount compared to our charges for Level 2 or even Level 1 expressdelistings.
It is necessary that problems are fixed in first place, otherwise your complete IP-space might end up in Level 3 again within a short timeframe
Does anyone have any experience in this DC, or are there any resellers who could help me out? We have equipment all over the US, but want something close to our offices for a more robust testing environment. We're only 30 minutes from NYC, but it's a huge hassle and we already have other equipment there.
I've done searches for other DCs in the area, but they don't turn up too much. I'm open to anything in western CT or Westchester county. The only quote I've gotten so far was ridiculous.
Does Level3 charge the same price per rack at every one of their datacenters, or is it dependent on the location? For example, how much would a rack in the Houston datacenter cost compared to the Dallas datacenter? Please no sales people contact me I am just asking to do some research.
View 8 Replies View RelatedDoes Level3 have a monthly minimum of some sort? I currently own a dialup internet service provider, buy through a dialup reseller that mainly uses the Level3 managed modem service, and would like to deal with them directly if possible. I am also interested in their collocation services and ip connections in the future.

Anyways ; from The register:
Quote:
The vulnerability in cPanel is triggered by luring a user to a malicious website while logged in to the program, which is one of the most widely used web-hosting applications.
The attack is able to trick cPanel into carrying out sensitive commands by making it appear as if they came from the victim.
"If you logged in as root and you hit my website or you hit any website I control, I can do anything I want," Bailey said. "I can reset your root password, I can upgrade software, I can modify any setting I want. That's scary and that's bad."
Even more troubling, Bailey continued, was the reply he got when he notified cPanel officials of the bug. "The response I got from cPanel was we can't fix this because it's a feature. Apparently, they're worried it's going to break integration with third party billing software, so they can't fix this."
if anyone have experience with remote MySQL server setup
I have 2 servers in the same datacenter, 1 serve as web server, and 1 serve as mysql server.
would my remote MySQL server slows down my site load if it's not connected through cross cable? it's on the same datacenter though
We have following rule in httpd-vhosts.conf and it was working all ok.
All of sudden we have found on one day that it stopped working and we did some configuration tweak with this rule but none of them worked.
During troubleshooting, last change was disabling mod_security and after that it started working again. However, next day we had again enabled mod_security to get issue replicated but found it working all ok.
Any clue for such behaviour of Apache ? Why all of sudden following working rule may get stopped working and then starts working again ?

Am I the only one seeing how pathetic LEVEL3 has been lately?
My route from the Gulf Coast to ATL then to Dallas has been up and down up and down with LEVEL3's network. I swear that every time the wind blows their routers are having issues........
GNAX has a killer deal on bandwidth, a mix of L3 & nLayer. How good of a network is that?
Level3 & nLayer @ $8 Per/Mbps with no minimum commit
Cogent & Telia & PCCWBTN & nLayer @ $15 Per/Mbps with no minimum commit
How much more premium is the Cogent, Telia, PCCWBTN, & Nlayer compared to just L3 & nLayer?
We are switching from a reseller that blends several carriers to Level3, to reduce our b/w costs (by a factor of 3x). We are driving upwards of 300Mbps currently.
Is Level3 reliable enough in terms of uptime to be our *only* carrier?
We are running a real-time always-on service with long-lived TCP connections, so frequent disconnections would be problematic. A single downtime of a couple of minutes per month would not be too bad on the other hand.
Switching our stuff to Level3 is a lot of work as it is.
Getting a second provider for the failover, which involves setting up a CISCO edge router with BGP, getting an AS number from ARIN, will make this task too big at this point. Is L3 reliable enough on its own to spare this hassle of a second ISP?
Has anyone had issues with Level3 honoring their discard community recently (3556:9999)? We had to null 2 IPs earlier in the week. The first one they didn't pick up the route when advertised via BGP (or if they did, it took hours). We ended up having to call and get them to filter it manually. The second IP we were able to null route fine using BGP. Now we have another IP being attacked and it looks like Level3 isn't going to pick up the route and discard traffic.
View 12 Replies View RelatedWe currently take transit from Level3 and Tiscali in addition to peering at LINX in the UK. We reaching capacity on our 100Mbps connection to Level3 which we take through a Reseller. I plan to keep our Tiscali transit as we receive great routes to Europe.
I have received quotes for increasing our Level3 to 1Gbps with 100 Mbps CDR and also switching to Global Crossing direct which are I think are fairly competitive at ~ £12 per Mbps?
Does any one have direct experience with either of these two providers in the UK and can recommend who has the best support/routes etc? Additionally I see a number of other UK providers are using Telia and NTT. Having had no experience with Telia or NTT I am unsure if they are in the same league as Global Crossing and Level3. Also are there any other Tier 1's we should be looking at?
dedicated server at sentris.com
They offer level3, NTT Verio, and PCCW backbones. I can choose which backbone I want my traffic to go over.
They offer twice as much traffic if I go with PCCW, so it must be the worst provider.
Im thinking of running a gameserver, so I want the lowest latency possible, which provider should I go with?
I am colo shopping in Phoenix. I have already been in contact with Jeff at Atjeu and iLand (at Level3)....
Are there other shared rack colo providers in the Phoenix or Tucson area? Probably will start with 3-5amp draw and 2-3mbit. Are there other DC's I should be looking at? I don't thing I'd be a spec on the radar at Limelight.
We've been considering getting a cabinet at Level3 in Tampa and the last pricing we got was November 2006. Yesterday I spoke with the rep I'd been dealing with to place the order, and was told that Level3 raised their prices substantially as of January 1st.
The quote we got 2 months ago is now a full 30% higher.
Can anyone confirm whether Level3 really did take a fat increase, or am I being hustled?
Has anyone else seen issues with Level3 in Atlanta and Dallas?
I've been having problems with them all week long.
either located in L3 facility or L3 connection.
looking for:
2-4GB memory
2x 160gb drives
3-4TB monthly bandwidth
dual xeon cpus or quad
preferable around $200-$250/mo.
am i asking for too much? everyone seems to only offer 1 or 2TB bandwidth but i'm hovering right around 1.5TB a month at my current location so i need a bit more for growth.
i run a non-profit gaming website and our budget is somewhat tight. we've been in a speakeasy datacenter for over 7 years and the only reason we're moving is because we outgrew the small server we were blessed with for so many years.
