on a .eu hosting company with good routing/peering around europe. I have customers all over europe but still wanna save money and centralize to one hosting company.
I am looking for a gigabit uplink but nessesarily i dont need flatrate traffic since we only hit peaks a few times a day..
What are your thoughts on companies providing this kind of service at a fair price?
Are there any sites that allow you to compare hosts / backbones in terms of peering?
Example:
Verio (NY) has peering agreements with:
Peer1
AT&T
etc, etc etc
Level3 (LDN) has peering agreements with:
NTL
BT
Demon
My colo is charging about $80/Mbit, they use InterNAP. Is that reasonable? This is in west coast/california.
That brings me to my other question, how do you know whats a good network? How is hurricane electric compared to InterNAP?
fixedorbit.com shows HE on the top 10 list and shows a lot of peering. I don't see InterNAP on that list at all! Does that mean thats it not as good?
The more peering, the better? (I guess we assume that the network provider isn't over selling and isn't cramming a lot of customers into a single port etc...)
How does peering work from the business angle? Say company X has bought a Gb port at an exchange, and wants to peer with other folks peering there. What are the folks typically going to expect from X before they'll peer with it? What are the
characteristics of X that would make folks willing/unwilling to peer? I've no idea what the relative importance of things would becontent (desirable, undesirable) WAN Network. (Does one have to have one?) technical cluefulnessBrand Qualities of the potential peer. It's hard to figure out the realpolitik of it all just by understanding the tech (BGP, etc.) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peering .
Are there any co-location companies in California (preferably northern) that have a peering agreement directly with Comcast?
Not sure if it's peering or transit I should be asking about. Basically I'm trying to get the best path I can afford to Comcast customers in California.
I have a client who needs a very special configuration. We are trying to find a data center or server provider in Switzerland who can only broadcast there ip in Switzerland only. So any attack or anyone trying to access that ip outside Switzerland will not get even close to it...

Why is this? Is it simply not worth their effort to setup the peering connections because most traffic will be hosted outside the region anyways?
I just read this on their forums.Softlayer is pleased to announce that we have turned up a private 10G peer with Comcast in Dallas. This will bring our total capacity in Dallas to 70Gs.
Dallas, TX (dal01) - 70Gs
Verio - 20G (2x 10G)
Level3 - 10G
Savvis - 10G
Global Crossing - 10G
Internap - 10G
Comcast - 10G private peering Which other providers have this?
i have moved my hosting to a new provider and i was wondering what is the quickest way to upload my 500MB files to the new server? Is there anyway i can speed this up like have a dedicated uplink port to my server, or via VPN or something, cos at the moment i have an upload speed of around 10KB/s,

View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there a webhost fast enough for providing large files (2.5GB +, going up to 10GB + larger) on my website to users worldwide?
At the moment my website is hosted in the UK and it seems to deliver download speeds of around 650kbps if only one person is downloading at a time. I have tried other web hosts, and their download speeds are never advertised, but have turned out to be even less in practise (e.g. 150kbps)
As I'm hosting large files (e.g. 1GB - 2.5GB - 8.5GB or more) on my website, I need something with unlimited speed. i.e. so that the download speed is limited only by the end user's connection.
Is there anything like this out there? I realise the files are very large in size, but I'd rather keep the process electronic than mail out hundreds of DVDs all the time.
I have recently closed my Linux Developer account with fasthosts due to intermittant latency problems, and rubbish support query turn around, always over 48hours if replied to at all (most of my support queries were never answered unless I actually phoned in about them!)
So is mine an isolated incident or are others out there having the same problem?
I'm probably going to buy a dedicated server at leaseweb.com but I wanted to know from peopl who have experiences if they have fast servers?

The pages need to be opened fast. The target audience is located in Istanbul/Turkey, therefore I think the EU-based companies will be better for my requirements.

I run lighttpd as my webserver, and 5.2.1 worked perfectly. I upgraded to 5.2.4 but when I checked my version, it said "cli". I ran the exact same configure command that I did with 5.2.1, but for some reason it says "cli". I then just ran this config:
'./configure' '--enable-fastcgi' '--enable-discard-path' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect'
And got this error:

I need to provide an 8gb file download (split into 1gb parts) that will be downloaded by 80+ people worldwide, simultaneously. I'm talking for example, they will be each downloading at 1.2megabytes per second each (this is the average speed of their home connections), simultaneously.
What are the specs or things I should be looking out for in a website hosting provider?
One service I'm looking at is advertised as 0.5Mbps in bandwidth and 100Mbps in transit, for £40 a month. The service I'm looking at is sensical.net's colo business service (http://www.sensical.net/). What does this mean and is it fast enough? What is the difference between these two figures - 0.5Mbps bandwidth and 100Mbps transit?
I'm in the process of switching my host provider and Im leaning towards Surpass Hosting.
I've already contacted them for a few question and their support seems expectational as they respond my tickets thoroughly in less then 20 minutes.
Just a few questions to those that do use surpass or have used them. How fast are their servers for PHP like Wordpress and Invision Power Board and are are your sites stable (always fast, or are they slow at times and then fast) with them.
The server I have running has LAMP and some other related services running. It's on a 100Mbit shared port. Whenever the server has been running for 30-90mins, the pings start to become very high (+2000ms). Problem exists with ftp, ssh, http etc, and restarting named, httpd, mysqld doesn't affect anything. The only thing that gets the pings back down and the speeds up again is to reboot the system, which takes about a minute. The MRTG graphs show that there isn't any significant traffic which cause the pings go down, in fact, the traffic goes close to 0 when the pings start sky rocketing. CPU load is < 0.1 and memory usage low as well.

I have a site that is currently hosted in Australia and loads relatively quickly there , but it is very slow in Uk and France.
Eli kindly set up a trial at blurstorm but I am unhapy with the way it loads in australia which is its primary audience.
how to get my speeds up with the site? ATM there is a 2.8 mb swf file that loads in about 5 sec in aus but about 20 in europe.
Blurstorm is faster in europe(france)but unacceptably slow in Aus.
Is blurstorm considered fast servers on their reseller plans? Or do I need to upgrade my expenditure to get what I want?
