Does anyone know any information about the following datacenter is Dallas Texas:
2323 Bryan St
2020 Live Oak
We are getting a circuit to one of these two locations, and would like to find a bandwidth provider on-net that can offer us IP transit. We are in need of mainly incoming bandwidth only, and would like to do some trading if possible. A hosting provider would be an ideal match as they should have excess incoming bandwidth to spare.
I am expanding my server to more locations and one of my server would be in dallas, TX. Now I need a great data center that can give me 300-500 GB per month and my budget is 50-100 per month. Anyone knows a good deal in dallas?
Does anyone know any North Dallas (Richardson/Plano/Garland) datacenters? I found sunguard but looking for more to compare. I've heard of an AT&T datacenter but can't get anyone on the phone.
With my New York location settling in, I'm now looking for a new host to Co-Locate with in Texas.
We host game servers, so I'm looking for premium bandwith. We currently host with softlayer, and I couldn't be happier, but we really need to cut the costs of renting hardware.
I know that Texas has numerous options for co-location, but before I search through hundreds of sites, I thought I would ask here first.
I'm trying to build a list of 5-10 hosts so I can send off for quotes.
Anyways, here are the details of what I need, any assistance is always appreciated.
I got an email from Futurehosting saying that they were going to migrate all of their VPSes from the current DataCenter in Dallas to a new DC in Dallas.
Does anyone know if there are providers left in Dallas that provide single server colocation solutions? If so, who are they and what can I expect in terms of pricing?
I am used to reselling shared and dedicated servers, but I've leased them for long, I could have paid for them by now. Some of my clients have their own systems too. They tend to request Dallas.
For those of you in Texas, do you have to pay sales tax on bandwidth if you buy it directly from a bandwidth provider (e.g. Cogent, AboveNet, Global Crossing, etc.)?
From my understanding, the sales tax rate is 8.25% on bandwidth bought directly from a bandwidth provider in all the big cities in Texas?
Used ThePlanet for ages and well not to impressed with them in the past 6 months. Not reading tickets fully is a big issue or not following instructions. Response times to tickets absolutely unacceptable with some being 3-4 hours others ranging in the days and most requiring calls to get responses. It really seems like they're more focused on their dedicated server market.
So any suggestions on quality providers for people in need of a few cabs and 45mbit or so and want actual decent response times and knowledgeable staff who read tickets fully?
Some applications are of the ping sensitive nature while others are just your normal web, mail, misc services. So things like cisco guards available and friendly with regards to fixing bad routes would be nice.
I've heard people suggest Colo4Dallas but are there any other suggestions?
I am currently with The Planet with the following configuration - Dual Xeon 2.4 - SCSI, 1 GB RAM, 73 GB 10K RPM SCSI/SAS HDD. But it lag spikes when I run a Counter Strike server on it, I don't know if it's there network or something wrong with the hardware.
I had a Pentium 4 2.8 ghz from Calhost and it never lagged, and keep in mind this is a Dual Xeon. I have been trying to figure out the problem, but no luck yet. My question is - what other companies in Texas sell dedicated servers?
Does anyone know what could be causing the lag spikes? Or had a similar incident with The Planet. I don't know if it's there network.
Are there any FutureHosting customers out there (Dallas Datacenter) who wouldn't mind PM'ing me their domains to test SMTP response time tomorrow? I have a server with them that is showing intermittent SMTP timeouts and response time spikes close to 20 seconds and I am trying to figure out if it is something on my node or the network.
I don't need anything special other than a domain name -- I won't be pushing email through the server just need to know how quickly the SMTP service provides a welcome message and responds to a HELO command. I will share any reports I produce with you.
The spikes are just occuring during business hours and support is having difficult tracking down the issue.
Ive recently been getting blips on my private lan with SL and have been unable to get it resolved.
Everything from firewall configs (despite its not being changed in 6 months) to the fibre being dirty and switch flapping has been blamed so being in this position and going in circles for 24 hours means I'm considering alternatives.
The issue would be so bad but the issue is on the 16 core box used for the DB and it uses the iSCSI which means the data is enjoying itself getting corrupted. It wouldnt be so bad if after I'm told its fixed, repair the DB it happens all over again.
So bascially this is what I need elsewhere
1x 4 Core Harpertown 4GB and 500GB in Raid 10 1x 4 Core Clovertown 4GB and 250GB in Raid 5 3x 4 Core Clovertown 4GB and single disk 1x Opteron Dual Core 2GB and single disk 1x 15 Core Tigerton 16GB and 250GB in Raid 10 or iSCSI
Bandwidth around 10TB a month
Id need a private lan and really I would rather a 1GB port on the private side.
To get away from the problems im having I would also rather a dedicated switch as to avoid the kind of issues im having now
We are in need of a colo in the Dallas area. Need a 42u rack, 3-5Mbps connection, 20A of A/B power, carrier neutral!, access by customer and escorted vendors, and most important - Type 2 SAS 70 certification!
Can anyone comment on how their experience has been with the Qwest network in the Texas region? It seems by looking at their network map that they have many directly links to other cities coming out of Houston which is a surprise to me as everything seems to come from Dallas on other networks.
Can anyone comment on pricing? What can you get a FE or GE commit from Qwest for?
My desired specs are 512MB-1GB RAM, smallest HDD possible, and 1 IP. CPU usage will be pretty low. IRC has allowed and it needs to be a datacenter in Texas. The datacenter can't be ThePlanet. DDoS protection is a huge plus.
We are about to launch our UK location with UK2.net and we are wondering what are your thoughts on UK2.nets 3 Data Centers in London ? What one would you go with consider we do need the one with the best network.
so say you have a web site that's uses PHP and MySQL and then your visitors are mostly from Asia and some from the US.
You get a server from a Singaporean datacenter for the Asian traffic and you also get a server in the US for the US and nearby countries traffic.
Both servers will use the same domain. It's just that it will automatically redirect you to the datacenter which is nearer to you so if your from Asia then you will be redirected to the Singapore datacenter otherwise to the US datacenter.
I have partners down in Dallas, Tx. that are deciding on whether or not they want to go with "ThePlanet" datacenter. But, we just want to know before purchasing any or keeping any servers there that the datacenter is fully equipped with 24/7 monitoring, fire safety, flood safety, backup generators, etc. We're thinking of leasing 2 servers there, and we just need to know some details before going on. Now, I know there's all that information on the website and I've done alot of research on them, but I want to know from WHT's first-hand experience of ThePlanet is any good.
So, if you've used ThePlanet datacenters, can you please help me out. I'm highly suggesting ThePlanet as one of the datacenters I might use. Because it's located in Dallas, TX. it would be alot easier to co-locate the server, or check up on it once and a while or sort out any problems, etc.
Please leave a message of your first-hand experience with this datacenter.
