I am working on finding a colo provider in Los Angeles that can meet these requirements:
* Full Cabinet
* 2x20A 220v Power
* Bandwidth either 1Gbps full burstable or 1Gbps dedicated (with plans to move up to 2-3Gbps within a year)
* Available ASAP
The sites that it will be hosting are sales and informational for a consumer product that sporadically gets news or magazine coverage which massively spikes its traffic. These times are when a good chunk of the revenue comes in but we do not necessarily know when they are coming. Does anyone know if having a full burstable line will cover this sort of eventuality or should we grab the entire dedicated line just to ensure we have it waiting? We would be providing all of our own firewalls and equipment, we just need the bandwidth, preferably without having to deal with a router on our side.
Price isn't the biggest consideration; reliability, stability, security, and performance are.
As an additional question, we are looking at a Catalyst 4507R-E switch for the core of our network, with redundant supervisors (for the purposes of ensuring we have no single points of failure). Any one have experience with this switch that can say whether it's a good choice or not for that?
I have a 1u server that I'm looking to colo. I looked around the forums but I can't seem to find exactly what I need.
I'd prefer if the hosting company was large, owned its own datacenter (as opposed to leasing), offered proactive (automated) monitoring services, remote reboot, and a superb network with little or no downtime.
I like liquidweb but it looks like they only have 500gb / month up and down or a dedicated line capped at 10mbps line. I need something in between, around 1000GB / month up and down with 100mbps port. Support doesn't really matter, nor does price.
Our congregation needs webspace to archive mp3 and mp4 files of the weekly messages. Low mp3 is about 3 MB size. High mp3 is about 20 MB size. mp4 video is about 325 MB size. We would provide links to the files so they could be downloaded - no online streaming is needed. Also no normal website stuff - just file storage space and ability to download by anyone who has the URL links to the files.
1and1.com has 250 GB storage with 2.5 TB/mo bandwidth usage for $10/mo. Their phone rep said this type of use of their web space is OK. I wouldn't even look any further except I've read a lot of bad reviews about them.
I'am looking for a dedicated server located in USA and Canada (one in US and one in Canada) with unlimited or large (5-10TB) bandwidth on 100mbit port ....
I've always had to use a bandwidth mix. I recently got offered a great deal on a full rack/cabinet with 30 Mbps of Level3 and Qwest bandwidth in the Chicago area and am thinking about moving my dedicated servers to colo.
I would appreciate your opinions and assistance with these questions.
What is considered a good deal for a full rack, power, and 30 Mbps of Level 3/Qwest bandwidth in the Chicago area? Assuming that it's in a nice and secure datacenter.
Is Level 3 still considered a top bandwidth provider these days?
How good is it compared (in terms of network quality, latency, etc.) to providers like Abovenet, Mzima, and Internap?
Lastly, how does Qwest bandwidth rate among the other carriers?
I was wondering what kind of rates I can get for Level3/WilTel (the old WilTel "cheap" bandwidth, if they still sell that as a separate product) in St. Louis on a 500Mbps commit. Looking for this bandwidth at either 900 Walnut or 210 N Tucker (Bandwidth Exchange Buildings).
I am looking to add 2 servers running debian and suse. We want to use it for a pilot A-Z voip termination project. Do we have any recommeneded colo's in NY or east coast USA with top nothc bandwidth for VoIP (L3). We currently have our servers in McLean, VA and Philadelphia on Level 3 providing USA and Canada SIP termination and the quality is excellent. We need similar at a lower cost.
Considering skipping VPS and going to a colo setup for a handful of sites. Nothing major, so the server will be very entry level, but with redundancy in mind (software RAID1 and 2 nics). But I have a few basic questions:
How good is hot swapping in Linux? This was very hard to me to find out online. I am getting a 1U rack with a hot swap backplane and 2 SATA drives. I won't be using any commercial software with my setup.
How does redundant NIC work? This is new to me and am wondering how this is setup.
I think I can shop around NYC for a 1U slot for around $40 a month. I don't need a lot of transfer, but would like a decent pipe. The thought of 1Mbit sounds unattractive (transfer is around 100KBytes/s, right?). How much would 10Mbit cost? I found some quotes but they seem way too much (I could be wrong).
Is a basic Cisco ASA 5505 suitable for a low-bandwidth colocation environment? I run a small virtualization network, going to be expanding to multiple hosts with a SAN and looking for something that is more secure and easier to manage.
Right now, I only have 12 virtual servers and I'm only pushing about 1-1.5mbps on average, though going to be expanding it so my capacity will be about 4x, including multiple physical servers and a layer2 switch. Sometimes managing it even now can become a PITA.
I would like to use an external firewall, but don't think I need something as hefty as an ASA 5510, as I doubt I'd max out the 5505 on throughput. I'm also sceptical about putting up a m0n0wall/pfSense box, as it might not be as cost effective to put it on new, reliable hardware, and putting it on some older/purchased off Ebay server could be unreliable as it is the entry point to my network.
Think the ASA 5505 would be a good entry level point?
I have a budget of around $400/m for a Dedicated Servers in LA. I Understand there are a lot of options but I was hoping you guys could point me in the correct direction for the best global connectivity. Im assuming since LA is so diverse in its x connects there should be one provider out there with outstanding bandwidth and a lot of connects to different providers.
colocation in Los Angeles [1/2 cab to full cab] and have been strongly leaning toward Peer1. I've done a ton of research on Peer1 through this site, and the general consensus seems to be that they're very solid.
I came across a handful of posts from 2005 and 2006 about problems in NYC, and there are two or three people on WHT who seem to have long-standing issues with Peer1, but I haven't found a single thread labeled "Peer1 outage" or "Peer1 downtime", which -- considering the size of the company -- makes them seem very stable.
What I'd like to hear is some specific reports from people who colo with Peer1 (especially those in Los Angeles) about how much annual downtime and packetloss is typical with Peer1. How many power outages, and for how long? How many router issues, and for how long? That kind of thing...
The longer you've been with Peer1, the better, but issues covering the last 2-3 years would probably be most relevant (things can change a lot from 4+ years ago). I'd just like to go into this feeling confident that I'm making the right choice. [It's a big step because I'm thousands of miles from L.A. and need things to work -- I don't want to have to move once I'm there.]
Finally, while I am obviously leaning toward Peer1, I'm also open to suggestions for other colo providers in Los Angeles. However, they have to be stable companies with a proven track record and fast 24/7 support -- If I call at 4 in the morning, I need an engineer on the phone standing by my server in a matter of minutes. I also need the security of a company that is big enough (and charges enough) that it won't be going out of business two years from now.
I want to buy dedicated servers or colocated servers in Los Angeles data centers. I found 2 data centers: pacificrack.com and fastserv.com. I have no experience about them.
If you know the datacenters in LA, could you review ?
Alright so i have been looking around for colocation and I LOVE Calpop.com's pricing however, after speaking to the owner and researching on this forum about that, i have realized just how horrible they are. The owner Lynn told me that the price of electricity is a lot more than their bandwidth costs. I only wanted A 1/3 1/4 or even half a cabinet and he basically told me that they wouldn't be able to offer me the services that I want since I will be using too much power with 5-6 servers. I'm not looking for high quality low latency bandwidth but it would be nice. I just need lots of "power", good network redundancy, and quick phone support in the event that i need a hard reboot on one of my servers.
I'm looking for a good price on 10Mbs of bandwidth, 10Amps of power and really just 1/3 or 1/4 a cabinet but in the near future i would like to go for a half or even a full cabinet. Any recommendations? I'm looking to keep the whole thing under $400.00 but i have a feeling my budget is way too cheap.
if you guys can recommend me some hosts that offer dedicated solutions in Los Angeles?
My requirements -Around $80 / Month -At least 1000GB Transfer -HDD doesn't matter -CPU doesn't matter -Need remote reboot -Good & fast customer support (for times that things go wrong)
Please give me the difference. Colo in carrier hotel, we can choose our preferred network provider, but should we do that if we cannot have our own tech in datacenter? How about the supporting service from carrier hotel? Just general question, cause I dont address exactly which facility.
And the second would be more expensive? Saying the same number of rack, amount of bandwidth... Who is providing IP addresses then?
I am trying to find out all the data centers that are out there in Orange county california, and Los Angeles, California? I can not find alot of them on the search engines, or in yellow books?
I'm having a lengthy issue where my databases are to large to import in phpmyadmin using plesk. Unfortunately I dont have direct access to phpmyadmin and can only access it by DB user through plesk.
I have tried to edit php.ini in the following locations:
upload_max_filesize = changed this to 64M
post_max_size = changed this to 32M
maximum_execution_time = changed this to 300
maximum_input_time = changed this to 300
Why am I still not able to import my DB's which are about 8MB each?
