Rsync Provider On The West Coast
Sep 28, 2008We're running a couple of servers and daily we use an r1soft provider to move the data to the mid west. Our servers are at WebNX and we are also looking for a data backup point in the west coast to make sure we can maintain another snapshot of our data.
We are looking for a rsync provider in the west coast - I have checked out rsyncpalace and their machines are at WebNX and we are looking to keep our data in a different data center.
Any leads on a good reliable rsync provider in the west coast?
Limited West Coast Providers
Nov 25, 2008I was looking at the offer section and I found that there is limited choices for providers that is on the west coast. I am just looking for simple and cheap server to run on directadmin for my adult site but I can't seem to be able to find one. Anyone knows of any decent providers in the west?
View 5 Replies View RelatedRoute From Level 3 To Qwest On The West Coast
Aug 30, 2009I am looking at getting some Qwest bandwidth at 200 Paul, San Francisco. Not being too familar with Qwest's network and as part of evaluating that decision I did some testing to see how the routes/latency looked from various points on the Internet and from our other data centers. For pretty much all the testing I did from the major tier 1/2 networks, Qwest has great peering in places you would expect resulting is decent routes and low latency.
The strange thing is that the one exception is routes from Level 3. As an example, traffic from various Northern California points on Level 3's network to a test IP on Qwest's network in Sunnyvale all go via Denver to connect to Qwest and then back to the Bay Area. For LA originating traffic, it goves via Dallas. Same thing for Seattle that is going via Denver.
Hard to imagine these two tier 1 providers don't peer at any location on the west coast at all? Is this typical between these two or is there some temporary outage right now? Or is there some peering spat going on between them?
Seems pretty silly for traffic to go 3,000 miles between points that are only 10 miles apart!
Here is an example of the route to a test IP sunnyvale.speedtest.qwest.net (205.171.214.185):

Colocation For First Time Server On West Coast
May 1, 2008I'm colo'ing my first server, and I'm a little nervous about sending my server to the mainland (I'm in Hawaii) for colo. I was looking at Pacific Rack, and also at iWeb. Can anybody comment on these or recommend anybody else? I just need very basic 1U colo.
Dependability and low ping times from Hawaii are my main priorities. Preferably something that Time Warner is tied into since most Hawaii residents use Road Runner cable modems.
I'm going to be running a dedicated zimbra server.
West Vs East Coast US Servers For Europeans
Jun 26, 2008if 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.
Dedicated Server In US (west Coast) Or Asia Region
Aug 18, 2008does anybody know a cheap dedicated server in US (west coast) or Asia region. The price should be arround $40 per month. no setup or less than $50.
Server is for DNS, SNMP monitoring and some backup data only. Minimum requirement are 512MB+, small CPU, 80GB/120GB+ HDD and 200GB+ Traffic should be enough for it. More than 1 IP, remote power and Gentoo Linux is preferred.
I had searched in the past but it seeams that companies like vrtservers/theplanet/etc. will have much higher prices right now as a half year before. I know there were one for $29-$39 in SJ or LA depending on the RAM/HDD/IP but I don't remember which company it was.
But in general it seams that servers in Europe (NL, Germany, ...) will be much cheaper right now with much more support and features like RemotePower, more IP addresses, ...

Recommend A West Coast Shared Host W/ A+ Customer Service
Apr 20, 2009Couple days ago all of a sudden my host that I've been with for years all of a sudden went down the drain. Why? Supposedly, my site was used for spam? Stupid. They are "trying" to compile my database and files, but I DOUBT that will happen.
With an already 24 hour downtime. I am receiving a lot of emails and phone calls on site. I need my community to get back up asap! So I guess it's time to find a new host.
I need a RECOMMENDATION on a westcoast host that will provide me with great customer service and the requirements I need to run my community.
Must handle vBulletin real well, have the requirements I need, and have great customer service.
This is a local forum, which is why I would like to be on a Westcoast Host.
Whats Important To You In A Colo Facility
Apr 25, 2009We are in the process building a new colocation facility and I wanted to take some input from everyone here. We have most of the infrastructure planning and layout done but were still early on in the construction phase so now is the last chance to get some input. I have two main questions I wanted to ask.
1)When your looking for a colocation facility what things are most important to you?
2)Have you ever wished that datacenters offered something outside the normal things that most providers do.
Good Game Server Colo Facility
Oct 7, 2006I run my own Game Server Provider, and I am looking to expand to new a new centralized area.
I am thinking about Texas colocation. Does anyone know any good colo facilities in Texas, with affordable rates.
Server Size is a Full Size Tower
Bandwidth: 1mbps sustained, Peak 5 mbps (during peak hours: 8pm-10pm). I would imagine this server would use around 700 GB of traffic per month.

Anyone Used Data102 Facility
May 31, 2008I been investigating into the Data102 located in Colorado Springs for colocation, and I am curious if anyone have any experience with them. Their network feeds seems pretty good, composing of Level3, Time Warner Telecom & Cogent Communications, with several other located in the same building such as MCI/UUNet/Verizon, Broadwing, Legacy ICG, Qwest, 360 Networks & WilTel.
From the traceroute tests, they seems to be primarly L3 network, with other 2 as lesser routes from testing on several locations.
Imountain, I Drove By Their Facility
Aug 14, 2007I am in the market for a VPS to act as a slave node to a distributed nagios setup I am setting up for myself.
Browsing the vps forums I came across Imountain. They sounded 'unique' to me, because of the solar power they claim to use to power their servers etc.
There was no test ip listed so I just traced their domain imountain.com and the subdomain cp.imountain.com (which is their hsphere control panel server I am assuming) which pointed to: 76.79.76.100.. A traceroute of this shows business grade road runner.

Now thinking to my self, I wouldn't host anything on road runner. Its not a reliable provider in my opinion.
question: Does road runner offer 1gbit/10gbit fiber links?
I decided to drive down there since its only ~30 miles away. I was actually pretty amazed by this. Its in the middle of nowhere really. There is a gas station, a motel, their building, and a ride share. I don't see how fiber would be economical in this location unless they pulled some from devry university which is further up the road.
Speaking of ride share, its pretty funny the google & yahoo maps show the ride share as their location on areal photos.
So I went down there and took these pictures, they are not the best since I was in my silverado and all I had was my camera phone.

There was no apparent solar panels on the ground level, which leaves me to believe they were on the roof, from the ground in my truck I couldn't see any on the roof so I cannot confirm that.
The questions that remain are this:
1.) Is there solar panels? and with a building that size how many would be needed to sustain it?
2.) Are they using road runner to host? If so does road runner do 1gbit fiber links?... that HAS to be pricey if they do.
3.) How secure is that building? It looks like a pretty basic office building.
4.) Air conditioning? Does that building have ample cooling?
These things I would never know because they do not allow tours of the facility.
Does any one have an vps with an Ip I can traceroute? I am curious to their network setup as they are very vague on it.
How To Disable The Backup Facility In Customers Cpanel

West? East? Or Central?
Apr 3, 2007I 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?

Dec 16, 2007Please 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?
VPS On The East Coast
Jun 24, 2008I 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.
Web Hosts On East Coast USA
Aug 26, 2008I'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?
East Coast Colocation
Jul 18, 2008After 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.
Anything Like Blacklotus On The East Coast
Feb 22, 20071. 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.
Which Is Better? Server In Central U.S. Or On A Coast?
Aug 5, 2007Knownhost has Servers in Texas and in California. You get double the bandwidth (with no price increase) if you take the California servers.
I live in Vancouver Canada which is on the west coast above California. So when I ping/traceroute Texas vs. California, the California servers do better for me sitting at my desktop.
My question is this...
What is better for people who will be hitting my pages? If most of my visitors will be scattered throughout the U.S. is it a lot better to have my pages hosted centrally in Texas, or is there only going to be marginal difference.
Would you take double the bandwidth on the west coast or would you prefer your servers located centrally in the U.S.?
Level3 East Coast Providers
Sep 7, 2008either 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.
East Coast Level3 Resellers
Aug 28, 2008There doesn't seem to be a list of folks that resell Level3 anywhere, and doing a GIS doesn't really help, either.

I know Limestone and TMS are L3 resellers, but they aren't east coast...

Oct 1, 2008Ive 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
