Softlayer Alternative? East Coast/Dallas Or EU
Oct 1, 2008
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

I have been looking for a VPS on the east coast (near New York). I am looking to spend around $30, but I need 500GB or more of bandwidth. It would be very preferable for the host to allow IRC connections. I have found a couple hosts that fulfill both of these, but at the moment VPS Empire is looking the best. They allow IRC for an extra $2 a month, which is very reasonable.
I would like to see if you guys have any other recommendations or suggestions for me.

I've been searching over the last few days for web hosts whose servers are located on the east coast of the USA, but haven't been able to find anything suitable.
I've searched on this forum, but either companies don't tend to post where their servers are locatd or my search criteria isn't working.
Either way, would anyone be able to recommend some east coast web hosts or just list some that you know of?

After two and a half years I am upgrading my server that hosts my CS server. Unfortunately, my host will not allow me to upgrade it and keep the special I got from them those years ago.
So I am looking for colocation on the east coast (I have players from Belgium and surrounding areas) with the following:
1U Server Colocation
750-1000GB a month (yes I have used that much in a month though usually only 400GB)
10 or 100 Mbps burstable
2 amps
3-5 IPs
I am hoping I can find this for >$100. Are my requirements too high for this price point? I may consider other areas of the US if my europe players can get good pings. My current host is located at 56 Marietta in Georgia.

1. Reliable rackmount services that cater to small customers (a single 1u).
2. IRC permitted.
3. Similar pricing to Blacklotus.
4. Reliable multi homed, well peered network (a Switch and Data reseller maybe?).
5. Reliable power infrastructure (I don't want to replace fried hardware because they screw around with their power system occasionally).
The ideal datacenter would be located along the transit fiber between Philiadelphia, PA and northern VA so I don't have to drive far to deliver the server or upgrade hardware.

either located in L3 facility or L3 connection.
looking for:
2-4GB memory
2x 160gb drives
3-4TB monthly bandwidth
dual xeon cpus or quad
preferable around $200-$250/mo.
am i asking for too much? everyone seems to only offer 1 or 2TB bandwidth but i'm hovering right around 1.5TB a month at my current location so i need a bit more for growth.
i run a non-profit gaming website and our budget is somewhat tight. we've been in a speakeasy datacenter for over 7 years and the only reason we're moving is because we outgrew the small server we were blessed with for so many years.

There doesn't seem to be a list of folks that resell Level3 anywhere, and doing a GIS doesn't really help, either.
I'm looking for a couple of names of some companies that offer dedicated servers in Level3 facilities? Preferably in the Northeast, but anywhere on the East Coast is probably fine, too.
I know Limestone and TMS are L3 resellers, but they aren't east coast...

if having servers on the East coast vs the West coast would give significantly better speeds for those people accessing sites from Europe?
We have servers in Texas and someone trying to sell us on a CDN (content delivery network) showed us numbers where it was taking 4-5x longer for someone from Europe to download a file. We want our sites to be faster for Europeans so I was wondering if moving to the East coast would help.

Most of our customers are going to be accessing the server from Europe and Asia and North Carolina, so I am looking for a dedicated server provider on the east coast.
I'd like KVM, network storage, remote backup if possible.

The company I'm currently working for is looking at colo space on the East Coast. I already have a quote from Equinix for their Ashburn DC4 - but I'm trying to do some due diligence and shop around a bit.
We're looking at 5 cabinet cages, and we have moderately high power requirements. The Equinix DC4 gives us 32kVA total availability across the 5 cabs.
Can anyone recommend other comparable facilities on the East Coast, or recommend Equinix resellers?

I am curious which location in the US is better for serving traffic to Asia / SE Asia?
I assume it would need to cross either the Pacific or Atlantic ocean?

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.
Does this mean that they're ditching Softlayer?
Anyone know who the new datacenter is?

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.

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.

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.

I have a small project that I am going to be doing for a client and I am in the need for a small linux (centos) vps, 128mb (would like to have a burstable amount too) ram.
Storage really isnt a issue, dont need more than a couple GB's. Looking to find something around $15 USD. I would prefer the location to be in Japan, but I am pretty much open to anywhere in East Asia.

I searched the forums and can't seem to find the answer. I run 3 websites that are targeted to Arabs, mainly most of the user of the site are from Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt.
Where would I find the best server to serve these countries? Servers in Saudi and Dubai are just outrageously expensive.
Also my sites are mainly podcast sites, a portal, with a small forum, and downloadable self produced video and audio content, so any recommendations for servers or hosts?

I bought a reseller off them a wile back and it went fine fr the first week. by the second week he had suspeneded my one of my clients accounts for being an adult site (which the admin new upon me getting the reseller that a few were) ok so after that i had to get rid of all my adult clients 3 20 dollar packages a month lost. Then came all the down time.
Im telling you there servers were ddos'd more times than a hooker smokes crack.
I attemped to complain once and they supended my account for a week. It just got worse and worse from there. one of my sites (personal sites) is freedom-munger) a site similer to myspace or facebook etc. every time id send out a newsletter to my clients they would email me chewing my 455 saying that im spamming from there servers.
a few weaks later fdc unplugs the server my reseller is on because another of there clients has a photo of an underaged girl on there site.
So naturally i asked for a refund after being yanked around on them restoring my reseller on another server.
To say the last they were about as mouthy and unprofessional as a person could be and yanked me around and to allmost 2 years later no refund.
To take it down to there level of speaking (THESE GUYS ARE CHUMPS)

I am really not sure if the location is effecting to speed. I am chooing a provider for colo'ing few servers. I know each region has very good providers (in both services and network, from reviews on WHT), but
- from the west coast to central, the latency difference is around 30 - 40ms
- from the central to the east coast, the latency difference is around 30ms
so, if I go with a provider in west coast, it really saves me 60-70ms latency from my area. However, someone likes gnax in east coast using Route Science, that's advertised to help to get the better routes.
I dont see any in west coast using RS or FCP. So, should I go
- with a "normal" provider (I mean network without RS or FCP equipments) in west coast,
- or with a provider with RS/FCP in any place?
Is the location really effecting to performance?
