co-location of a mini tower PC I have that hosts a couple of websites. I live in Redmond, WA so anywhere near there or down in Seattle will be fine. Bandwidth wise I only need about 500GB per month. anything fancy just a secure facility with power and network connection.
View 3 RepliesJust a question about hosting your site in the same country where your main targeted visitors is located. It is my belief that I should host my sites in the same country where I the targeted visitors are. Am I correct in saying this??
So..
US Focus Site should be hosted in the US
Canadian Focus Site should be hosted in Canada
And UK Focus Site would be hosted in the UK??????
Just wondering if anyone knows of a datacenter or a co-lo host who provides Colocation for Tower Servers, within the London area?

why not just buy a tower that might cost you $400 + PSU and use that?
my question is wouldnt it be cheaper for me to buy a tower instead of rackmounts if my majority is in space , for example my tower that costed me about $99 holds 12 hard drive bays (this is in my desktop house) , while my 3u rackmount holds 16 hard drives but it was $1000 + PSU included.
I have a tower case just under 440mm in height and was wondering where in the UK this could be colo'd?
It's basically a standard tower case you get with PCs bought from places like PC World these days. I just don't want it going to waste under my desk, so was hoping it could be colo'd somewhere.
It's a P4 3.0GHz, 1gB RAM and 200gB HDD PC, so could make good use of it really.
Now I have to say from the kick off that IRC must be allowed by the colo provider.
how I can make use of this wasted box?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm building a HDD rack tower because I'm sick of DVDs and external USB drives. I plan on using it as a private FTP and file storage.
I got me a Lian Li PC-V2100A Plus II which can hold up to 19 3.5" drives and I plan to feed it with 1TB SATA HDDs.
The problem is that I neither have an idea which mainboard I should use nor if there's even a power supply that can support this many drives.
Performance doesn't matter to me I'm all about space, I'll probably throw in some old P4 and 1gig RAM.
I was thinking about a Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W PSU but I still don't have an idea which mainboard I should settle with.
Preferably one with 6+ SATA connectors so that I don't have to buy too many controllers.

View 6 Replies View RelatedApple just released a new version of the Mac Mini specifically designed for running as a server. They have removed the optical drive and added a second hard drive (2x500GB).
In my opinion this is really exciting. These little machines rock.
Apple's website does not specifically say, but I assume you can run RAID-1 using those two SATA disks...
Seems like a far price when you bundle Mac OS X Server software.
Anyone know a place that will colo a Mac Mini for under $40?
View 14 Replies View RelatedWe are in good 'ol Europe very much hit by electricity and surface prices in the last 2-3 years. Shure is that power prices do climb in all the world, but the increases are very steep in some countries like France, Austria or extremely in Switzerland where also surface prices are horrendous. This makes tower or midi cases housing for dedicated servers actually impossible in such places.
My question here; does anyone know, or have the good heart (as this can be seen as business secrecy) to tell where and which kind of servers with standard cpu's (not mobile cpu's) can be bought which have the most little sizes existing? I'm not talking about 1HE servers or Shuttle's, I'm talking about PC's with standard components, which are less big than even Shuttles.
I just read about this Mac Mini colocation service. I currently have a dedicated server, but the pricing of this option is very attractive.
Can this be done effectively from a Mac Mini? I'd be running a number of MySQL databases and about a dozen websites (which I'm currently doing from my dedicated server with no problems).
Anyone have any experience or advice to offer on this path?
This is not as much a complete and full review as some, but I would like to review my current host because they have been very good. As a small prelude, I have been a customer of burstnet a few times and generally got very frustrated with their billing and verification system. Sometimes I only need a server for a month or two then cancel it just as a temporary stop gap for some bandwidth or web space need. I don’t know why but every server I get with them seems to take just under three days to setup where as other companies I have been with achieve setup much, much faster. Don’t get me wrong I am a big fan of burst net for cheap bandwidth, and have voiced my opinion on this before on this forum. They are a good company overall especially for the price you pay.
I was searching for a burstnet reseller, one with a good billing system etc. Just so I didn’t have to deal with that terrible piece of rubbish they have. And I have been with my current host for a few months now. Obviously, knowing they are a reseller will put many people off, as they can go straight to the source. But in my experience, the support they provide (if its not something that requires the burstnet team) and the customer / billing interface available make it all worth while.
Like I said, not a complete review. You can make up your own mind about the burstnet service / network. But I like this reseller and I would recommend them to anyone.

what does the bracket do? do i need rails for colo or can the server be mounted on the rack and where do i get the rails for it?
edit: i just read the comment by one buyer.
"Pros: No expenssive rackmount rails required, mounts using the intergrated ears, very good airflow for such small case. Very well built, pretty solid for price range. "
so no rails is required...by intergerated ears i assume he mean the two handle on each side and the bracket can be use to mount the server. how strong are they? Can they really hold the server?

new Colo provider in Seattle to replace the one that we currently have. My company runs game servers.
I'm looking for an affordable location that can provide the best support possible for the price. Typically the only thing that we need is someone to reboot a server periodically, so if someone offers remote reboots that would be ideal. I'd like to start out with a single 1U server to make sure that we like the location and network before expanding. We'd use about 5 Mbit/sec per server approximately.
