Unmetered Bandwidth
Oct 30, 2009I was looking at a VPS plan that offered unmetered bandwidth on a shared 100mbit/s port. I thought it was a bit suspicious because it was at a very low price--but would this be what it means?
100mbit/s converts to 0.125 megabytes per second
= 7.5mb/min
= 450mb/hour
= 10,800mb/day
~ 334,800mb/month
= 334.8gb/month
Would that mean that I would be getting less than 334.8gb of bandwidth a month, but it's just filtered through to make sure I don't go over?
Shared Unmetered Bandwidth
Oct 16, 2009I got a question about shared unmetered bandwidth offerings. Currently we specialise in Dedicated Unmetered bandwidth offers but also offer metered.
we see an increase in demand for shared unmetered, with some minor guarantees of troughput. Much in the style of FDC servers. We are toying with the idea, to add a shared unmetered service thats overbooked 1/4 (100 mbit) or 1/6 (gigabit).
The questions.
1.
Are these overbooking rates reasonable? it looks like other companies roughly have these overbooking factors.
2.
What kind of hardware should be bundle with such an offer? obviously its the bargain hunter category (no pun intended) that we would try to appeal to. Would that mean generally lower end servers like ATOMs?
Unmetered Vs Fixed Bandwidth
Jun 11, 2008What are the advantages and disadvantages to buy unmetered or fixed bandwidth dedicated?
For burstnet unmetered does it guarantee to have some good bandwidth or it can be very very slow at peak times?
I can find about the same price almost 2TB/month or 10mbps unmetered.
How Much Bandwidth Do You Get On A Unmetered 10 Mbps- 3 Teras
Aug 7, 2008i finally ordered my first dedicated server -previously i had a vps. I ordered at theplanet.com an unmetered 10 mbps - dedicated server but i am now confused, about how much bandwidth 10 mbps really represent?
10 mbps = 3.300 gigas?
20 mbps = means how many gigas?
and the 100 mbps = means how many gigas?
I have a alexa 12.000 site with adult videos that is getting more and more traffic, thats why i decided to get unmetered but stupidly i thought 10 mbps was a lot of more than only 3.3 teras : ( so 20 and 100 mbps means how many gigas?
I am going to pay at ThePlanet for this 10 mbps unmetered connection $200 plus $ 109 for the server pentium 4 512 ram.

Adult Host, Managed, With Unmetered Bandwidth
Feb 6, 2006I am hosting a few websites with my host, powweb.com (shared hosting). Now I am thinking to go for an adult xxx website, and my host is not ready to host an adult website with them, and thus, I am looking for a new host now.
Things are:
1. I have very little knowledge about server management, as till now my shared host was doing everything, so I may need a host who offers a completely managed hosting, including backups, security, etc (just as a shared host would do).
2. I need a host that allows extreme adult contents.
3. The site will be a new one, but I am planning to go for offline marketing and hoping that I will get a good amount of visitors. Also the site will offer online movies. Taking these things into consideration, I am thinking that I may need a host that offers unmetered bandwidth.
I would like to get some tips from you guys, and if any of you know a good host, thanks for letting me know as well.
Dedicated Server With True Unmetered Bandwidth
Oct 15, 2009Looking for a dedicated unmetered server to stream movies and audio for over 500 visitors a day. Anybody knows any place that is good?
Also, what kind of hardware specifications would be OK for me - in terms of speed and memory? And would we be OK with a 10mbit port or 100?
Would I survive on a dedicated server with a shared bandwidth?
Dedicated Servers With Unmetered Or 30TB+ Bandwidth
Oct 27, 2009Im running my own file host, and in the past few days its just blown up in traffic. I current have "Intel Core2Quad Q9650" package from Limetone. 3ghz Quad, 8GB Ram, 1TB HD, 10TB BW.
I need something that has either unmetered or 30TB+ bandwidth. It should be on 100mbps lines too.
The closest thing I have found are FDCnetworks

Testing Cogent DNS On A Cogent Line
Jan 19, 2007I am having a strange DNS issue on a Cogent circuit using Cogent DNS servers at 66.28.0.45 and 66.28.0.61. What is happening is that some domain requests will timeout the first try. Then subsequent tries will be quick with no timeouts.
I am having a very hard time getting through to Cogent that there might be an issue somewhere and I was wondering if anyone on a Cogent line using the same Cogent DNS servers could also do a test for me to and see if you can reproduce any timeouts.
How I am testing:
- Open nslookup (in linux use: nslookup -timeout=2, windows defaults to 2 seconds)
- Picking a random domain name (favorite cereal.com, movie title.com, brand name.com, random word.com)
- Repeating test for same domain if timeout occurs to see the next query resolve instantly
Here is an example of what Is happening for me:
Code:
[eger@womp ~]# nslookup -timeout=2
> superman.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
> superman.com
Server: 66.28.0.45
Address: 66.28.0.45#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: superman.com
Address: 64.12.47.7
> napaautoparts.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
> napaautoparts.com
Server: 66.28.0.45
Address: 66.28.0.45#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: napaautoparts.com
Address: 208.254.241.70
>
I picked 2 random domains (that were likely not cached at the name server) and they both timeout the first try. Anyone else able to replicate this?

Cogent Redundent Circuits?

Getting A Cogent Connection To A Cabinet
Jul 31, 2009if I rented a half, or full cabinet for colocation. And would wanted Cogent was my isp for the cabinet how much do they charge?
Days they take to setup?
Costs to setup? (Setup fee?)
I know their pricing 100Mbps for $1,000 which is pretty crazy deal. And if I would go on their contract would it save me a setup fee?
Cheapest Price From Cogent
May 19, 2008I am sure people have been in contact with Cogent regarding connectivity...
They gave me a price for a 100 Megabit and a 1 Gigabit connection. So I wanted to see what people were quoted by Cogent.
He claims they have re-structured their entire business over the past 12 months.
He quoted $10/Megabit... How does this compare to anyone else?
Also is even getting a connection thru Cogent worth it?
Cogent Support Going Down Hill
May 2, 2008I have been using Cogent for many years and have always been pretty pleased with the service and bandwidth (I know many consider bottom rate/budget bandwidth). I would usually be able to call in and speak with someone who could check routing, login to switches to verify port settings, and make reverse DNS changes right then and there.
Within the last 6 months though I have been getting pretty poor support from them. Seems they are hiring more and more people just to be able to answer phones. The techs seem to have a hard time comprehending even simple reverse DNS requests and always ask me to hold for extended periods of time.
Today I called in and was even asked to hold right as they picked up the phone!! I mean, if your just going to pick up to ask me to hold, why pick up in the first place until you are ready?
Considering Cogent...smart Move
Apr 8, 2008I am considering getting a server from take2hosting.com. Their offer is great and sales has been very helpful and fast. Left definitely a good impression.
The downside is that they are on Cogent-only bandwidth. In the past I have really gotten something against Cogent, mainly due to one of my FDC servers being routed over Cogent and only pulling 10K/sec to Europe.
How is the Cogent network nowadays? Has it improved since a year ago? Worth considering?
From my tests the speeds are actually really great. They are located in San Jose, and I am testing speeds to Europe. For example to Surfnet Amsterdam (Cogent hands off the traffic to Surfnet in Amsterdam, so its on the Cogent network all the way) I am able to pull 2.53MB/sec. This is an incredible speed for a Westcoast<->Europe transfer. It almost makes me believe Cogent has started getting its act together.
For people who would like to test speeds, please use this test file. Especially European tests would be interesting, and it would be great if you could post where cogent hands off traffic from LosAngeles to either your network or a transit network. (In the US or Europe)
Right now I am hosting on a Level3/GlobalCrossing network @ the eastcoast. This works really well but it shows in the price. If I could combine a couple of budget boxes into one of those Quadcores it would save quite a lot. Question is: Is Cogent trustworty nowadays?
Thanks for your input
Ps. I know that hosting on a single-homed network is not the smartest thing to do. However they will add more carriers soon so this will not really be an issue. I'm expecting them to not drop Cogent tho, so my question remains

AOL > Cogent Traffic Sluggish....
Aug 17, 2007We use Cogent at our colo, and since this Monday (8/13/07) we've been gettin dozens of complaints from AOL users stating that connections to our sites are very, very slow and often time out.
We tested from an AOL session and were able to confirm this. We found this odd, because it came out of the blue and nothing had changed on our end. We also get excellent all-around performance from other (non AOL) connections, be it dialup or broadband.
We went ahead and did a bunch of traceroutes on the AOL session. We found things get bogged down as soon as it hits Cogent's routers in DC (timeouts / no response). These AOL sessions have no problems whatsoever with other sites and other (non cogent hosted sites) loaded fast and without issue. We then tested loading Cogent's own web site from the AOL session and saw the same sluggishness as well. The same happened when we tested a couple other Cogent client sites from AOL. They all pulled very slow (10 to 35+ secs per page) on an AOL/DSL session. This did not happen on the same broadband connection w/out AOL running on top of it. The same pages loaded very fast.
Just wondering if other Cogent clients are experiencing this? :? We have not heard from them about this, but wanted to know if this is something isolated or not.

VPS + Unmetered
Jun 20, 2007I am trying to have vps because I have 130 websites in shared server.
My current reseller account has WHM/Cpanel, WHMReseller installed. - no ssh access
I think need VPS + Unmetered shared reseller(currently have one) for 2 reaseons.
1. backup/restore
2. Disk space
1. backup/restore =======================
I had a problem with hosting company, so I had to move all 130 websites in 12 hours without ssh access in both old/new server. (can you imagine?)
New server admin helped me, but their response were so late, so I want to do it my self.
Also, I need one more server that can immediately be switched if hosting company blowup everything. (hosting will be my life line)
2. Disk space =========================
All 130 websites are smaill size cloned websites (1mb~20mb) because I sell cloned websites with hosting.
I have unmetered space/bandwidth reseller plan now, so I can provide 5bg-10gb space for each customer. (they use only 1-20mb though)
If I have vps(15-30GB plan), I won't have enough space if, some clients really use 5GB space. So I may move clients who use big space to my unmetered shared reseller account.(currently have one)
In other words,
vps- many small sized websites
unmetered - big sized websites (a few)
I may need only one vps, but it's too much overselling if I give 5GB to each client. (that's why I have to connect vps to my current hosting).
Am I wrong?
I have no idea how to make this concept works.
I see many ebay sellers who sell unmetered hosting, and they have 2-5 datacenters and backup servers....etc.
Also, how can people generage a bunch of ips? Is it one of the function in vps?
Last question- Does it back up all sub-account if I do full backup reseller's cpanel?
