have set up a server at burst.net.But burst.net said they will not transfer my data from Dreamhost.com to my new server.I think it's a bad idea to download all my data from dreamhost to my computer and then upload them to the new server.So,is there any easier way to transfer the data from Dreamhost.com to my new server at burst.net?
It seems dreamhost has no SSH and cPanel,but my server has both of them.I heard that I can use the get/mget command to do that,

I am new to VPS and am trying to get my head around it. What I am trying to figure out now are the pros and cons of Guaranteed and Burstable memory.
Assuming everything else is equal, and both options are in the budget, and that there is a requirement (at least at times) for more than 768mb of RAM, which option is better:
1152mb Guaranteed (SLM)
or
768mb Guaranteed / Burstable to 2048mb
Obviously, a big factor would be whether or not their is RAM available to burst to, and as I understand it, that is completely dependant on the server, other VPS's running, number of VPS's, etc.
However, what I am trying to figure out is which approach is typically better. If for the same money you can get 768mb w/2048mb burst or 1152mb SLM w/no burst which is the best option.
If my current requirements are important, then I listed them in a thread titled: "If I go with VPS would vB performance suffer greatly if I add multiple sites to VPS?"
I can't truely link to it, because I have less than five posts, but here is a quote of that thread, so you can hit the button in the quote to go there:

We operate a small point of presence in Atlanta, GA out of the 56 Marietta building. Its a network POP for us, with a few small customers there.
We're interested in finding a company or individual who we can contact to handle remote hands services such as hard drive installs, racking servers, attaching KVMs, nothing major.
Right now we work with TelX. Needless to say, they are extremely overpriced, and under qualified to do the job.

Does anyone have a good contact or contractor that they can recommend in the vicinity of Equinix Ashburn? Preferably someone who's done work in the facility before. We're in DC4 - which is building E I believe.
While Equinix has great staff, sometimes I just need simple things like servers unpacked and racked - things that I'd prefer not to pay $200/hr. for.

Some information about my forum:
I run a VBulletin forum with - 575,614 post, 14,369 members and 2.9 million page views per month. On average there are 300 - 400 people on the site.
The server right now is a Linux CentOS VPS with 1.1 gigs of memory. The hosting provider keeps telling me that I need a dedicated server.
Question # 1 - In your opinion - do you think its time for a dedicated server?
The server I am looking at has these stats:
E8300
2 GB RAM
250GB HD
cPanel
Management
The price I was given is pretty good. So the offer is going to be hard to pass up.
Question # 2 - Has anyone here used Future Hosting for their dedicated server solution?

Came home to find two email from GeekRack concerning a shared server issue. I found that a bit odd, as I have a dedicated, rather than shared, account with them.
Then found my dedicated server was down. Been waiting about five hours for a response to my reboot request ticket but, nothing yet, so I'm going to bed.
Curious as to whether anyone else has problems with them or Burst today?
The web can be such fun at times.

I am just colocating servers and managing them myself, and renting services off of them. In the future I would like to start offering dedicated servers as well. I am wondering if many companies do this, or if its more of a general practice to just setup as a reseller? The worst part that comes to mind is thinking of how to do billing for the bandwidth per month. With my setup I would only be offering flat bandwidth packages (like 2TB a month) but even so, I cant think of anyway to automate it so WHMCS knows if they went over, if so, how much, etc.

On Feb 21 I ordered a dedicated server with geekrack.com So when i got my server, i had asked them to have it portioned a specific way, but it was not set up like that So, when i asked them to have it reportioned and reimaged to the way I asked to have it set up, they tried to charge me $30.00. I told them that it was a unfair charge, so they did the good thing and dropped the charge for it. I submited that ticket on Feb 24, and the owner told me that this will be taken care of by the next morning. So, i gave it 24 hours, more time than they said, and it still was not done. I called them and they assured me that they were working on this issue. I gave it another 48 Hours, and still nothing was done. I found out that they were a reseller through burst.net, so i called burst.net to see if they had a ticket for this to be done, and the support tech I talked to told me that a ticket had not even been submitted! So when i spoke with the owner of geekrack.net, she got all grumpy with me and said she was going to yell at burst.net because they were not supposed to release any information. I told her that i would want my money back because their service says that it comes with 24/7 support. Now i was not even getting support, unless you call support saying, "ok we will do this" and not doing nothing. The owner is still refusing to give me a refund, so I have filed a chargeback with paypal, as much as I hate to do that, i beleive it is the only way i will get my money back. So in closing, DO NOT BUY FROM GEEKRACK.NET UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SCREWED!

It has came to my attention AGAIN that geekrack servers are down. This time, I caught it JUST as they were going down. I was thinking more about this when it happened the other day [url] and on their site it says 100%, as shown in a picture below. This is totally lying to customers, as their servers were JUST DOWN the other day. Well, as soon as I was done taking a screen shot of this, I clicked on the 100% uptime link, and then tried going back to geekrack.net, and IT HAPPENED AGAIN! Their servers are DOWN AGAIN! Geekrack is VERY unstable! They need to either pay someone to manage their servers for them or they need to get lost!

I recently bought a small company from somebody i knew, the server they had was with GeekRack. So we moved everything over to our name and everything was fine for the first week or so, i then ordered a new server from them so i could run shoutcast from however they installed the wrong OS and refused to refund us or pay for the reload fee. So i quickly cancelled that server.
After that issue things started going downhill, nobody would answer our tickets about moving the server away from them so we could get it from our reseller account with BurstNet. As soon as we mentioned we were moving they just basically terminated all contact with us. They failed to mention two different abuse tickets to us which ended with the data centre disconnecting the server on two separate occasions, both times the server was down for more than 2 days. The server was also going down every night and when we asked them to take a look they never answered.
We finally got the server moved away from GeekRack and now the server is running fine and have had no problems. So this is just a word of warning to anybody that is considering GeekRack as there provider.

I have purchased a server from Geekrack
After 8 days! and tons of tickets sent with very long delays between replies i have actually received my server.
i have done that because of the low price they give for a dual core
i have paid for my second month on sunday.
when i wake up to see my server is off.
i check and see it was shut down with no notice.
i contact Shequieta the admin and she confirms that she shut me down after as she says:
"We sent you a email stating that someone was spamming from this server. You didnt reply so the server was suspended until you would deal with this matter"
now ofcourse no email was received nor sent
here is another example after purchasing the server :
" posted On: 02 Mar 2008 04:48 AM
We will give you your details as soon as possible we are dealing with a slight mail problem meaning you did not get your email..
"
this is 7dayS! after ordering
and now they tell me i need to pay 50$ for server restore!
"In order to resotre the server we would have to bill you $50 for the re-activation that is being levied to our account by the DC"
this is an outrage! i have no money left after paying for this month this week the shut me down with no notice and want even more money! i cant afford paying this ammount after already paying 80$ for ipanel for this exact server.

I use shared web hosting service to get my website online. I'm wondering how many people use dedicated servers or virtual private servers instead and pay from $20 to several hundreds of dollars? Will I face any big problem with shared web hosting package which makes me choose dedicated servers?

Currently, I am using 1 VPS, and pay $30/mo.
Now, I want more resource. Should I buy another VPS ($30/mo)? Or buy a dedicated server(<=$60/mo)?
I understand that the 3rd choice is 1 upgraded VPS($60/mo). But I do NOT think it's better than 2 small VPS($30/mo).
which one is better? For now, I do NOT want to pay more than $60/mo.

My lease with LayeredTech is about to renew, so I am looking for better deals, and I found several $23 $24 $30 dedicated offers here. How are those servers/network/dc comparing to layeredtech?
I have not been looking for 2 years, because I was in other business. Badly needing a update on server industry now.
I thought utility bills are up, inflation is high, so it is a shock to see the price of dedicated servers are falling.

Does anyone know of a dedicated servers in USA/Canada that allow IRCd, and the price is UNDER $70/mo.
A server that has atleast 1GHz of processing power is good, such as a (Dual) P3 or a Celeron, or anything better.
It needs atleast 512MB of ram, and atleast 10GB IDE/SCSI (SCSI preferred, not needed) HDD.
And with atleast 1TB+ bandwidth.
Netdirekt has a $50 server which is what I need, though its in Germany, I prefer a USA/Canada server.

Currently I run my forum with a host that is having too much downtime for my liking. I run a new forum on vBulletin with 210 + members with 1-5 new members. My main requirements are PHP5, MySQL5 and OpenSSL. What would your suggestions be for a host / server specification? Unfortunately as I am not using any advertising so my monthly budget is rather low ($50). We currently have a dedicated server with a 2.4ghz processor and 512mb ram but I would be more than happy to move to a vps if it would be more reliable.

Intel Quad-Core Xeon 2.50GHz
2x250gb
2gb
100mbit
10TB bandwidth
$280
That price is pretty competitive, especially for 10tb dedicated bandwidth.
I was wondering if anyone has any servers with them? What's it been like?
Would be interesting to know since their main business line is just shared hosting.

Need somewhere that has servers with over 4gb of ram (that should be everywhere these days, but you never know). Need CentOS 64bit offered. Anywhere in the UK is fine. 100mb port. At least 1500gb of bandwith. Fairly cheap bandwidth.
I know thats a pretty loose description i know, but does anyone have any suggestions?

We’ve been asked to offer a technical proposal for a new established TV station, and the IT manager of the station has a long list of requirements, we covered it all, only one issues lift as we never done it before:
They want about 20-100 GB server for hosting and they want to have a mirror server, incase the 1st server was down, so it would redirect the visitors to the mirror server, I'm thinking of getting them a dedicated or semi-dedicated server, but how do you do the mirror issue.
Some one said to get two dedicated servers, but::
1. How we make it that when one is down, it automatically directed to the other, I believe there is software’s for that, so were do we install this software: the original server or the mirror server.
2. Should they be from two different companies and to different countries?
3. The web site will be with CMS and DB, how do you make sure that the mirror server have all the new data that was updated in the 1st server’s DB, do they have like shared DB or something, and how..
Any other information, links, or suggested hosting sites for reliable dedicated server (with big bandwidth) would be greatly appreciated.. thanx
P.S. We use PHP/ MySql technology.

In these past many years I have used 7 major data centers which provide collocation and dedicated servers.
Out of these 7 provides, what would make a client impressed?
One is off course the level of reliability, the network must be up without anyone bothering it.
Second is the level of security, when someone is bothering it, their team must be extremely responsive to provide help to restore service back to normal, it doesn't matter if there is an additional fee for it, availability is crucial.
Third would be the response time, which is critical, because this gets personal. When a client needs an "urgent" help, if the provider successfully responded the urgency in a timely manner, it will build an great sense of trust.
It's like you as the provider is storing up "trust funds" into your clients. If you keep doing this, when something bad happens, you will have enough trust funds deposited into your client's faith, so they will eventually understand the situation.
From these many years of using many major provider, I can only experience an amazing level of service from one single provider, which are always dependable and are able to respond to my inquiries within minutes, not hours.
A client expect a reply in minutes when they are leasing a dedicated server or even collocating their servers with a provider.
So far, only one seems to be able to provide such an excellent service.
This is not a rating about a particular provider, but I would like to give an input to dedicated server providers on what's important when it comes to building a good client relationship.
Willing to do an extra mile help would definitely a big plus which I also experience with the same provider.
Lastly, I would like to leave my total satisfaction review for the one provider which surpasses my expectation being their client. The one and only provider which I personally experienced an outstanding level of service is ThePlanet.
With their pricing, the level of service I received as a client is outstanding.

I am currently using hostmonster.com and I've noticed that my service is starting to go downhill. The site is taking longer to load and I've read that in some cases they will terminate your account without notifications.
I am a photographer and my website will be growing in the future. I am looking for a site that I can host my high res images and maybe video streaming for my wedding events. Should I go with a semi-dedicated server?
What are some cheap reputable semi-dedicated hosting companies?
