I'm gathering info for getting a new dedicated server, planning on using my own colocated hardware, but still looking at what's available in dedicated servers at the same time.
There are lot's of dedicated servers being offered at prices lower than 1U colocated rackspace. How's that possible, what am I missing?
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.

I'm wondering if I am paying too much, so I was hoping others who have a dedicated server at rackspace could say how much they are paying.
I have a dedicated server, intel xeon, 4 gb of ram, and 2,000MB bandwidth and pay $1,400 per month. I feel that is over-priced, how much are you paying?
I want a cheap dedicated server with 10 TB bandwidth on a 100 Mbps DEDICATED port.
where i can find such offer? and tell me if you've previous experience with any datacentre providing that

Perhaps we will see this show up in cheaper and/or faster dedicated servers. I guess I better wait another week or two before getting that new box!
I'm getting myself a colocated server in August.
Its quite a 'powerful' one (Q6600, 2GB, 2x160GB). It will be running Windows Server 2003 Standard edition.
I would also like to make a test 2003 installation on the server itself and most likely a Linux Ubuntu) installation too.
Now VPS looks good, but I have some questions about it.
- Can I run 2003 (virtual in VPS) with the same SPLA license?
- Is it possible to give the power of one core of the CPU (since I got four) to a VPS? (so it doesn't stress other cores)
- For example, I host an application on port 5000 (random chosen ) on the non-VPS system, is it possible to host the same application in the VPS system on the same port with an other IP address assigned to it?
- Whats the best (free if possible, shouldn't have many options (just an on/off switch )) way to make a VPS in Windows?
- Is it a problem with servers of these days to push the 'maximum' (or like 80%) out of the network connection (a gigabits or 100MBits)? Are the server response response times (pings) acceptable for gaming when its under such a load?
I need to colocate a server, and then order two E1 links to it (to be more precise, it's one link and one backup). Both the colocation DC and the link's destination will be in NY metro area. The link will be delivered via MPLS.
Please, could you help me to clarify the following points:
1) How much, very roughly, should an MPLS E1(+backup) cost in NY metro?
2) I understand that usually there are several quality of service classes in MPLS (e.g., realtime, guaranteed, best efforts, etc). Do I understand it right, that I can have, say, 20% realtime, and 80% best efforts, and then 400kbps would be reserved for the lowest latency traffic on E1 line?
3) What kind of quality guarantees (e.g., max/avg latency) are usually given for T1/E1 MPLS lines?
4) How expensive is "realtime" quality class compared to "guaranteed"?
And last, but not least
5) how is this E1-via-MPLS link delivered to my server? (I think, this is something called "demarcation" or "demarking" or whatever it is called). Does it terminate somewhere in the DC building? And how does it go from there? Do I get a copper ethernet plug in the end?
6) Do I need to pay an enormous cross-connect fee to the DC (in addition to the E1 fees to the line provider), or are these things normally much cheaper than intra-DC cross-connects?
I'm hosting some domains on a whm setup. One of the domains has outgrown the shared hosting setup, so I'm moving it to it's own vps. I want to limit the downtime, and I understand I should lower the TTL on the domain.
The registrar is Network Solutions and the nameservers are pointing to the shared host (which is on a whm/cpanel setup). How can I lower the ttl on this domain? Do I have to move the domain to a more advanced DNS service to achieve this, or is this something I can do within whm?
I don't mind have nfs running, but how do I keep it running at the lowest as possible... seems like it's hogging up all my usage/cpu's...

Why is the Processor #1 speed labeled as 1.6 ghz? Processor #2 speed never goes down no matter how high the load is. Could it be the reason that my server can't handle 4 websites with a cumulative total of 20k unique hits per day?
I'm having a problem with high MySQL CPU usage on my server, one of my sites is getting hit pretty hard right now and MySQL is just killing the box. Its averaging a load of over 20, CPU usage is around 130%.

Server Specs.
Pentium E 2.0Ghz
2GB ram
2x 320GB hard drives.
Cent OS 5
Cpanel
On a Cpanel server, lightly loaded, but some fairly large sites (~3GB stored) loads get pretty high during CP backups (D/W/M to secondary drive, compression on). It looks like RAM is showing mostly used during this time (977,555 out of 1,026,348), and iowait is ~50, sometimes quite a bit higher at ~80 on the larger accounts. Not pegged at that amount, but fairly steady. This box only has 1GB RAM, so I'm thinking adding another Gig would alleviate this issue.
OS: CentOS 4.x
Hardware: Intel P4 3.6HT/1024MB/2x160GB
When i check the server status is shows a high server load.
How do I lower the server load? it looks like for mysql activity.
I host my DNS with DNSmadeeasy.com , I noticed that I have daily more than 350.000 DNS requests for main domain, This domains got about 80.000 uniqes/day, so this is strange how can there be 350.000 DNS requests/day. Seems that I'll go over the quota because of this.
The TTL for all domains is set to 86400.
Is there a way to discover how its possible ? And also is there a way to do something to make this number lower (DNS requests)
I have a small issue that's probably easy to answer. If I upload a zip file to a Linux server, and run this command via SSH:
Code:
unzip -a name_of_zip.zip
Although it does unzip the directories as expected, it makes all file names and folders lowercase. This is a problem when trying to install software that relies on case sensitive names.
Does anyone know what command tells the server to retain the file names and not alter them?
to buy a good dedicated server to serve my clients here. So im looking from advices on a good hosting company USA based.
But i have been ping several major hosting USA company (like, mediatemple, theplanet, etc...) and i still didnīt get a Ping under 130ms.
If i ping a good EU company i get 60 to 90ms.
I know that the distance is bigger but,
Does anyone knows any good USA hosting company with a Ping to Europe lower than 100ms?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI've read a couple of reviews on similar forums and blogs trying to figure out which hosts are worth their buck. The main points of discussion were:
- Price
- Reliability (up/downtime)
- Support
Most of the providers were either too expensive, or lack proper support.
The most discussed company was Hostgator. I don't understand the hype but maybe you guys can help me out here.
What is the average price for a constant 100mb ethernet line into colocation cages in datacenters?
I'm getting a 20x30 cage in a local datacenter and they are offering it at $75/day or $2250/month.
Keep in mind that it is dedicated to me, as well as fully redundant from Verio/NTT and Level3.
I had a client that can no longer afford a dedicated server hes paying for.
Hes been with me for 4 years so I offered to pay for a vps for him for a few months. He had the dedicated server split into 1 linux side and 1 windows side so im going to get 1 linux vps from fsckvps *2gb ram* now im looking for a windows vps that has similar prices as fsckvps because he was only paying 70 per month for the dedi server.

We are looking for a private suite, and we have got many offers, can someone tell me what are normal prices per square meter in regular data centers? Just a basic room, no hardware etc.
We received really strange offers and they flip from 400 dollar to over thousand dollar per square meter.
