Hurricane Electric Is The Only Global Backbone With Hosting
May 25, 2009
I need to host a service that has to have best possible speed anywhere in the world.
I am unable to find anything comparable to Hurricane Electric.
They own 15+ transit nodes in America, 4 in europe, 1 in asia
And they provide dedicated hosting.
I am looking for the alternatives because HE's service is very rudimentary, they just provide servers and you're on your own.
Especially, there's no KVM-over-ip, to reinstall or upgrade you have to pay them $200 every time.
But the connection rates, network uptime are best you ever get.
So there's not possible to get both: level 1 connection and great dedicated hosting service?
There are either backbone providers or service providers.
Is Hurricane Electric the only one who does both?

thinking about Colo at Hurricane Electric but some people have told me that it's inferior bandwidth. I have heard that in the past HE has had problems. But is that still true today?
Using it for web hosting, spam filtering and the critical one is that I'm running a personal Asterisk server for my telephone system. That's where latency might be an issue.

Here's what I asked a sales rep:
Quote:
It would be a slam-dunk to go with HE if the limit was 2.5 AMPS- so I have to ask one more time: is is 2.5 or 2 AMPS that I am limited to? Reason I ask is that in a 4/6 email you said:
> >>

> >>> Thanks checking it out. I think Dell can only spec it out configured
> >>> fully loaded. 600Watts So it looks like your server will not be fully

> >>
But everything else you have said and I have read says 2 AMPS."
And here's the response:
Quote:

Thanks,
Then I’m ready to sign-up, if we can amend the contract to state the
following (changes in bold):
“7U customers are provided with one metered outlet with a limit of 2 amps.
If customer exceeds 2.5 amps, customer will be allocated a full cabinet,
asked to move their equipment to the cabinet, and the full cabinet rate of
$600/month will be added to the monthly bill for the remainder of the term."
Let me know if that’s acceptable and I’ll amend the copy I have, sign it and fax it back to you.
To which I receive the response:

Would YOU sign this contract? I've only heard good things about Hurricane Electric on this board, but I hate having to trust someone who probably works on commission.

I am just wondering if the Global financial crisis has any negative impacts on hosting providers and IT sector? Do the crisis consequences lead to hosting sales decrease? How does the World hosting industry experience financial crisis? How can hosting business owners comment the current situation in the World?

I heard datafeedfile was upgrading their T1 to a T3 in their office about this time. But, they are located in Huston, Tx where Ike was at last week.
Anyone know if their servers are alive or if Ike washed them clean?

Looking for quick, easy global load balancing solution. This is actually for a temporary situation (we need to move to a new DC and need to make this seamless as possible). Linux solution preferred if possible. What can we use to get this achieved?
How exactly does it work? does it need VPN between locations or is client redirected to a different IP somehow?
We would consider dedicated hardware solutions provided that we can get 2 pieces for under $2,000 total (ebay i guess).

We 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?

It seems the more places we can put servers, the more places boss-man wants them
We're setting up an external network to test back into our network from geographically/carrier diverse locations. We've got about 15 hosts up, but most are in the states, one in london, one in amsterdam, one in frankfurt and one in hong kong.
The current wish list of locations includes -
- Japan
- S. Korea
- Australia (holy cow bw is expensive in sydney! is anyone charging less than $500 per Mb?)
- Paris, France (we have one quote in, but it is pretty pricy)
- Italy
- Spain
- Sweden
I'm doing research and have submitted rfq's to companies in most of these locations, but was hoping for personal recommendations of hosts you have used.

Is anyone here running GFS? The responsibility of managing a small cluster of them is about to fall into my lap, and the only documentation I can find is on Wikipedia, which is troubling. I've got the man pages, but I was hoping for more of a document outlining how it works.
Why would lock_dlm2 or gfs_scand take up close to 100% CPU with minimal traffic on the machine, for example? What do those do? How can I tune it to not do that?
I'm not so much looking for specific answers here about tuning, but am more curious about where I should be looking for documentation. I find it hard to believe that there is none?

I've recently upgraded from Shared hosting to a VPS. I'm currently getting my new VPS setup before migrating my site over. On my shared server, both the global and local safe_mode directives were reported as off by php_infO(). On ym new server, the global is reported as off, but local is reported as on.
On my old server, the PHP was version 4.4.9 running as a CGI. On my new server, PHP 5.1.6 is running as an Apache 2.0 Handler.
I have already set safe_mode to off in my global php.ini file (hence why global is reported by off). However, I have no local php.ini files, htaccess files, or php directive settings in place, so I cannot figure out why local is set to on!
I've tried editing httpd.conf to include "php_admin_flag safe_mode Off", though I'm not certain I put it in the right place. There is only one website on this server.
With the CGI php on my old server, I was able to create a local php.ini file to overwrite global directives, but that seems to have no effect with the Apache Handler on my new server.

I'm not sure how much people use InternetHealthReport.com, but Global Crossing consistently has the worst packet loss - [url]
I'm not sure what the cause is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's because they are a primary peer for Hurricane Electric and other budget carries who don't have much other Tier 1 peers (i.e. Xeex).
Any comments from current Global Crossing customers?

Thought this might be of interest to folks on WHT. We put together a solution using Nginx ( Engine-X ) to do Global Server Load Balancing. This solution lets you do GSLB without having to fork over $26k per site to F5 or Foundry.
Thought it would be of interest to both end-users as well as dedicated hosting providers who might want to make it into a service (eg. sell a dedicated host in Europe and the US as a group, with the solution pre-installed).
The entire project, including relavent configs is available for download in the latest ( issue 6 ) FREE issue of o3 magazine (o3magazine.com)

Arbor Networks, Merit Network and U. Michigan to present a 2 year study of global internet traffic at NANOG 47. Sounds like it should be interesting to hear. Anyone going?
From the one page brief:
Arbor
"Evolution of the Internet Core: Over the last five years, Internet traffic has migrated away from the traditional Internet core of 10 to 12 Tier-1 international transit providers. Today, the majority of Internet traffic by volume flows directly between large content providers, datacenter / CDNs and consumer networks. Consequently, most Tier-1 networks have evolved their business models away from IP wholesale transit to focus on broader cloud / enterprise services, content hosting and VPNs."

is there a way to set global php values settings for all Domains in Plesk 12. In the older version of Plesk I can do it by linux in /etc/php.ini and restart the apache and all Domains will be load this configuration. But from Plesk 11 the settings are not loading from /etc/php.ini, only by the own php.ini file.How can I do it for all domains?
