Does anyone know if there are providers left in Dallas that provide single server colocation solutions? If so, who are they and what can I expect in terms of pricing?
I am used to reselling shared and dedicated servers, but I've leased them for long, I could have paid for them by now. Some of my clients have their own systems too. They tend to request Dallas.
From reading these boards for a couple years now, I always had the impression that colo was cheapest in Texas or thereabouts, and was priciest in places like NYC. (Of course, I'm referring to relatively comparable service.)
Now I finally have a need for a single server colo (1U). The most-mentioned places in Texas on these boards are cologuys, colo4dallas, etc. Most of them have reasonable rates listed right on their website, around $100-170 for the bandwidth that I need, about 1.5Mbps.
But I've also been requesting quotes from various providers in NYC, who are also popular on these boards. And while there are some in the $200-250 range, which is what I was expecting, there are some that are mentioned highly on these boards (toqen, thenynoc, razorblue, etc.) that are quoting $60-100/month for the same amount of bandwidth.
I.e., not only comparable but in fact *lower* than the Texas colos.
What am I missing here? It's very possible that I'm comparing apples to oranges, cuz I really don't know any of these businesses. Just forming an opinion based on what gets recommended here on a consistent basis.
I am expanding my server to more locations and one of my server would be in dallas, TX. Now I need a great data center that can give me 300-500 GB per month and my budget is 50-100 per month. Anyone knows a good deal in dallas?
I have a Linux(RHEL5) dedicated server.Tomcat version 5.x is running integrated with Apache and now i want to install tomcat 6.x integrate with apache without effecting older tomcat version. it will run as it is.
How can i do this and if yes then how can i set tomcat home path for both versions.
CATALINA_HOME=<Which path for both> and how to install it.
All will be hosted on the same server (same IP) and I want all to be secured, through a SIGNED certificate, not a self signed. I assumed that wildcard ssl would be fine for this, but I just took a look and it's only for subdomains: example.example.com hello.example.com.
Is there any way of having every subdomain and domain secured, using ssl, through one certificate? I don't want to have to buy individual certificates for every domain, that'd be... expensive.
Based on todays equipement I know a person can spend Thousands on a good server, I'm looking to build my own and just want some advice on which way to go.
I'm thinking of just building the server pc in one case and the hard drive setup will be in a seperate case with the following:
3ware 9690SA-8E controller Mass-Storage 8x by A-Tech Fabrication for a case 8 - SATA2 SEAGATE 1TB (7200rpm) 32MB on the controller as RAID
Can anyone give advice on what would be a good setup if you were running 1 single server for local businesses. I don't want to hear just pay for a provider as I've heard that one before now I'm looking to know what hardware setup you would run I like to play and learn. Even though sometimes the headache playing isn't as much fun as we sometimes may have hoped.
What are m/b and processor options for running a server?
What is min. amount of ram a person should run using linux and cpanel?
Should linux be on a max. amount of space for root and server files on a seperate mnt?
What connection up/down would be min. for usage of about 5gig/month?
I am starting a small template based company. How many unique websites in their own unique folder can I host on a single server?
These websites would not get many hits, maybe a few hundread to a few thousand a month per site. My goal is to minimize the number of accounts I will have to open up with a web service provider.
Should I purchase 1 package per site or is there a way to get around this. Each unique site would have its own unique domain.
Does anyone know any North Dallas (Richardson/Plano/Garland) datacenters? I found sunguard but looking for more to compare. I've heard of an AT&T datacenter but can't get anyone on the phone.
Does anyone know any information about the following datacenter is Dallas Texas:
2323 Bryan St
2020 Live Oak
We are getting a circuit to one of these two locations, and would like to find a bandwidth provider on-net that can offer us IP transit. We are in need of mainly incoming bandwidth only, and would like to do some trading if possible. A hosting provider would be an ideal match as they should have excess incoming bandwidth to spare.
I've searched a bit on this topic, but noone seems to have any resolutions: I have a myriad of different websites on a server, and want to balance resources. What and how are the best ways to do this?
I have a user who says he cannot get to any site on my server from either home or work. He has been a user for many years, and has never had any problems. He has also checked with his IT at work and they confirmed the site is not available. He is computer savvy, so I trust he is telling the truth.
His work and home are only 10 miles apart.
Do you guys have any ideas what could be happening? Is there a DNS entry wrong somewhere? He can't access the site even when putting in the IP address.
There is one other user reporting something similar but other than that no other complaints. The site works fine for everyone else.
I have diesel generator controller card (IB Lite made by Comap) and the built-in webserver supports only a single user/session connected.
I want to set apache in front and serve multiple connection while apache is keeping a single session with the IB Lite card in background no matter how sessions it have.
I tried ProxyPass but it doesn't seems to be a solution.
I got an email from Futurehosting saying that they were going to migrate all of their VPSes from the current DataCenter in Dallas to a new DC in Dallas.
Are there any FutureHosting customers out there (Dallas Datacenter) who wouldn't mind PM'ing me their domains to test SMTP response time tomorrow? I have a server with them that is showing intermittent SMTP timeouts and response time spikes close to 20 seconds and I am trying to figure out if it is something on my node or the network.
I don't need anything special other than a domain name -- I won't be pushing email through the server just need to know how quickly the SMTP service provides a welcome message and responds to a HELO command. I will share any reports I produce with you.
The spikes are just occuring during business hours and support is having difficult tracking down the issue.
Ive recently been getting blips on my private lan with SL and have been unable to get it resolved.
Everything from firewall configs (despite its not being changed in 6 months) to the fibre being dirty and switch flapping has been blamed so being in this position and going in circles for 24 hours means I'm considering alternatives.
The issue would be so bad but the issue is on the 16 core box used for the DB and it uses the iSCSI which means the data is enjoying itself getting corrupted. It wouldnt be so bad if after I'm told its fixed, repair the DB it happens all over again.
So bascially this is what I need elsewhere
1x 4 Core Harpertown 4GB and 500GB in Raid 10 1x 4 Core Clovertown 4GB and 250GB in Raid 5 3x 4 Core Clovertown 4GB and single disk 1x Opteron Dual Core 2GB and single disk 1x 15 Core Tigerton 16GB and 250GB in Raid 10 or iSCSI
Bandwidth around 10TB a month
Id need a private lan and really I would rather a 1GB port on the private side.
To get away from the problems im having I would also rather a dedicated switch as to avoid the kind of issues im having now
We are in need of a colo in the Dallas area. Need a 42u rack, 3-5Mbps connection, 20A of A/B power, carrier neutral!, access by customer and escorted vendors, and most important - Type 2 SAS 70 certification!
I have many server with Plesk 12...in this server I have single nameserver...example server number 1 have ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com - server number 2 have ns1.tldnames.com ns2.tldnames.com etc etc...
Now I want manage all server with single nameserver example all server working with ns1.newnameserver.com and ns2.newnameserver.com ....
I have licenses for my server of Plesk no limits...how check if PPA is installed in my server ? Otherwise how to install PPA or other software for DNS Manager?
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'm currently on a shared hosting plan and my site has gotten to the point where the server cant handle it anymore, so I have to move up. I was debating a managed dedicated server and while looking at the prices for an entry level box of $200+/mo. I began to wonder whether it might be better to buy a server and colo in some shared rackspace.
Has anyone gone this route? Is it worth it, do you save more, or does it cost even more?
I'm looking at some decent deals on ebay for HP DL380's 2Ghz+ 1GB Ram which I think should be pretty solid for a web server. If the site continues to expand I'd eventually pick up another box and use that for a dedicated DB server.
Colo prices arent as low as I thought, i see ad's saying starting from $50 bucks, but then once you start pricing it out, it quickly goes up to $150-200$ for a decent package. WHich makes it comprable to dedicated hosting minus your ownership of the physical server.
I guess my main question is, is it advantageous to own the box or is renting it better? Lease or buy? That is the question.
