Private Server Hosting - Ecatel Alternative
Mar 26, 2009
Recently I've had a very large private server hosted on ecatel's services with a buddy of mine the reason we decided to go with them is because they're very friendly with abuse reports and false ones as well.
Considering we have some major competition we always get false ass abuse reports and need any alternative weather it be actually in the US or offshore doesn't matter but we're looking for a relatively fast network that can stand a lot of connections.
We're also looking for some at least reasonable prices...
With the ability to link the two servers we require together internally to improve latency between the two as one is our MSSQL system the other provides access to the actual worlds for the game.

Got a person potentially developing an ecommerce website for me. Part of the agreed price is 1 yrs free hosting on their server. However what are the pitfulls since i am concerned with security (customer credit info), and if anything untoward happens like the site going down.
If a proper webhosting business is required, essentially i need these:
"Linux server with PHP, MySQL, an SSL certificate, register_globals turned on, a c-panel to admin the MySQL"
Which provides a great qualty and cheap service (not godaddy) - if it helps I am bested in the UK.

Hi, is anyone know the advantage of VPS hosting vs shared hosting? I found a cheap VPS plan at in2net.com. I can get 15G space, 200G bandwidth and 256 RAM for $9.95 a month. My site starts getting a lot of users, it might be an issue with shared hosting. My site also hosts a forum, and currently has 1000 unique visitors and 8000 pageviews daily. Sometime the forum has 30-50 concurrent members.
So, I'm just wondering in my case, wihch one would you choose, VPS or shared hosting? since they are the same price. I don't know how to manage servers, but my friend has a unmanaged server at theplanet, and he hasn't managed the server at all since he had it. So, if a VPS host comes with all the scripts installed, in this case, it doesn't require any management, am I right?
oh, one more quesiton, is the plesk control panel works like whm panel? where each client has his own control panel?

I have a reseller shared hosting plan that allows for 50 sub-accounts and I'm using about 20. I am looking at getting a VPS with between 256 - 394 mb RAM and am wondering if I were to move all of my accounts to the new VPS would I be ending up with less RAM to use for all of my sites.
To put this another way how do most reseller plans manage RAM usage? Do each of my sub-accounts have access to say 64 mb RAM so that if I were to use all 50 sub accounts I would have access to 50*64 mb.
From what I've experienced and read with shared hosting my thought is I could end up with less access to server resources, CPU and RAM, with a VPS plan - though with VPS the resources are more guaranteed rather than being dependent on the usage of other accounts on the server.
The reason I am looking at a VPS account is that I have a site that will likely have 1000s of users with a server intensive script (Moodle) and I know it would violate the reseller account agreement. So maybe my plan should be to keep the reseller account and use it for my database driven sites and use the VPS for the server intensive site and my html based sites.
Also, my VPS choice seems to be narrowed down to Liquidweb, JaguarPC and Zone - has anybody heard of any negative experiences with Liquidweb? I can't find any.

I'm wondering wether it would work to host a 40 players source server on the following VPS I am about to get
dual quad xeon
30Mbps
300gb monthly transfer
1024mb ram
OS:
CentOS
Fedora Core
Ubuntu
Gentoo
Slackware
Debian
I guess the 30mbps speed is fine but will the 300gb be enough and what about the RAM?
Which OS would be the best for game hosting and for someone that's new to linux?

I am looking for somewhere in the US or Canada that can host a VPS with the following requirements:
10gb space
256mb ram - burst 512mb
200gb bandwidth
2 ips (or 1 with cheap price for an extra ip)
Public IRC Capable (not linking with EFNet, etc.)
I've been searching for something that can meet my needs but I've been at a loss. BuyAVPS became a big issue, and I pulled out quickly before the most recent downtime, SolarVPS before that with their lovely billing problems and collection threats.

if any of you could give a quick idea on the set up times for dedicated servers from ECATEL
I paid 515 euros 9 days ago, and the server still hasn't been set up (Hardware delivery problems I have been told) and before I ordered, they stated the setup time would be 48 hours.
Is this normal? The last email i received from them was 3 days ago.
I find this completley unproffesional, It is always another few days.
What are your experiences with them? I am utterly dissapointed so far.

Anyone have experience with this company? (Ecatel.nl / Ecatel.net / Ecatel Ltd)
On Pre-Sale the support reply to my tickets very very fast (even on weekend or at night).
After read a few topics here on wehostingtalk, today, at 14h ago i decided to rent the server and pay the bill, since that i dint have a single answer to my questions, i already try to contact suport 3 or 4 times.
This is my first dedicated server, could someone tell me if this is normal?
On ecatel.se (same company) I see a "Server ready 60 minutes after order" but as i say already pass 14h and nothing.

We are looking of going with a VPS hosting for a secure dealer site. We won't need massive amounts of space, but bandwidth is more a concern, as we may need to serve video files for demos and such.
These are the 4 companies we are considering going with:
EV1Servers
ServerPowered
SteadFastNnetworks
PowerVPS
Has anybody here used any of these hosts? What have been your experiences with them?

I'm about to launch a viral project that has realy good potential to strike it big, but would like to clear a few things first.
I would not like to have it associated with my name - not that it anything illegal, but in real life I'm doing something completely different and on the record would like to keep it that way.
So that probably means keeping the whois private - but I have another question as well. Suppose the project strikes it big - would a diggin journalist be able to still get my name/data from a hosting company too?
Is there a good hosting company with an all-inclusive service that you could recommend (that would get me a private hosting plan + a private domain name/whois)? And that would be reasonably priced of course + more importanty reliable (note have problems if/when there is a massive traffic surge to my site at one point in time)
Would probably take a shared hosting plan - need only PHP and imagemagick to start with. But again - bit part of my concern is what happens if the project makes it big and there is a lot of traffic - so ideally "unlimited" bandwidth and responsive admins...

I am currently with the planet and am happy with them, however as part of a new venture I need to gather a list of hosts as well as the planet that will be able to cater to the ventures needs and go to tender with the requirements.
ThePlanet offer something called a virtual rack. This is cheaper than renting a dedicated rack, allows for Gb networking but doesnt not allow for a SAN. Do other providers offer something similar? The cost of putting a machine on the virtual rack is not that much more expensive than just renting the machine. I guess there isn't too much to these set-ups to be fair.
If not, then we are looking for dedicated racks, with the ability to host a SAN at some point, but starting off with say 3 servers (2 web servers, 1 storage server with raid5 6Tb of hdd). These servers will be dealing with network cameras although I don't think that many will be streaming at once but the network capacity does need to be there.
Who's door should I be knocking on to find out some prices?
One final thing, should I bother looking for co-lo providers as well? We are in the Uk but not precious about our host being in the same country at all (it would be nice but uk prices are ££). Really, all we would be able to do with co-lo is buy the hardware outright to save price as we are not interested in looking after the hardware.

As many of you are aware I have been very active in the WHT threads here relating to Ecatel. I was recently banned for creating a duplicate account in order to bash Ecatel which rightfully led to my account being terminated due to my very poor behavior.
I am still customer with Ecatel under my alias of Katie, I just wanted to come clean and apologize outright....

Anyone using Ecatel also has their sites down?
They have been quite good for a long while, never had a down time so long such as yesterday. Server down since 6 hours ago. Send in multiple support tickets and no response. I am very suprised to know that they do not have 24 hours technical support staff on standby since they have such a huge customer base.
Any other ways to contact them to fix the server. This 6 hours has cost me at least 2-3K USD in losses. I can't wait to see the server backup again.

This is what has happened:
1. I ask for some compensation, or at least an explanation, for the recent downtime of Ecatel. I also Ecatel to remove some IPs from our server. The cost of the IPs is high, and with Ecatels past performance we want to minimize our amount of business with them.
2. Ecatel immediately responds that our server has been shut down and we are not welcome as clients anymore. Reason being our payment was a few days late. Payment was not sent since it was due during the massive downtime ecatel experienced just a few weeks ago. Thus I was very hesitant sending it, and I could not afford flushing 300euro down the toliet.
3. However, just before I got the answer above the server had indeed been paid. Ecatel now refuses to release the funds, do a refund, and instead tell me that I can "file a dispute" with paypal. Why I dont know.
4. Ecatel offers me to get a backup of all our, needless to say, very important data on the server. This should take a few days or so but several days later there are no signs of any backup.
5. I contact Ecatel to get the status of the backup. Ecatel now responds there is an ongoing abuse investigation concerning the server we had with them.
6. I ask Ecatel to, regardless of the abuse claims, send the data. After all - if the data is needed for evidence they still have it.
7. Ecatel refuses to give me any data. I ask Ecatel to give me a phone number where I can speak to them. I also ask them to send over any information on the "abuse case", and contact information for the 3rd party (which is nominet, uk).
8. I once again ask them to clarify everything. After all - if we did something wrong on the server, we have the right to know what we did, and how to rectify/respond to the case. Ecatel support answers, as always when they are questioned by a client, that I should stop wasting there time. I won“t get any data, information on the abuse case, and they are closing the ticket.
I find this appaling and crossing all limits. I have the right to know what has happened. I have the right to see evidence, and I also have right to get our data. Now, somehow, if Ecatel isnt using this as an excuse because they perhaps lost the data, I might get it later. However the incredible arrogance and nonchalance of their support is below any standards. A client since two years back should not be responded to with one liners like "Stop wasting our time".
So whats your take here? Should“t I as a client be treated with at least a tiny bit of respect? Do they understand the impact on other companies business having huge down times, and also holding our data hostage?

how you are doing this if you are co-locating a few servers in the same rack. I'm looking at putting in a small server to handle the backups offloaded to it, and connecting the 2nd 1Gbit ethernet ports on our Poweredges to a private switch. Does this sound about right and how you would handle them?
We already do offsite RSYNC, what I am trying to work out is how to handle backups held onsite from multiple servers. The servers will have a local copy of a backup, and i'm thinking one offloaded to a specified backup server. That backup server can then RSYNC offsite.
Right now we have two 1RU servers, with two more going in and a 2RU server. So ideally I would like to backup all 5 servers to this box.
Perhaps i'm over complicating it? However I do want to have a good backup system in place, I sleep easier at night this way

I'm trying to find a hosting company or private linux server that will host an installation of Nagios which is a monitoring utility. It does require some linux system packages to be installed as well as a break in the firewall for the monitoring.
Does anyone know of cheap linux private server (less than $25/month), or is anyone else running this with someone? It really requires no memory or hard drive space and I'm sure could run in a less than amazing CPU environment. It generates pretty constant web traffic but very low bandwidth.
