What Should I Expect To Pay For Half Cabinet
Jul 20, 2009
I currently use a half cabinet and think I'm paying way too much. I pay $1,000/month for half rack (10 meg bandwidth) 20 amps power, etc. Service and connectivity has been great (Ashburn, VA data center) but I think it's just over priced.
What should I pay for half cab, 20 amps, 5-10 MEG bandwidth, 20 amps?
On that note, what if I was to go for a full cabinet solution, same power and bandwidth, what is ultimately the expected price for a reputable colo provider?

Just wanted to get some opinions. I assume you are trying to colo, and you will fill 1/2 rack in 1 year. I have two options:
1. Get 1/2 rack, 20amps first and get another one when full.
2. Get full rack, 20amps and add 20amps later.
The first one will save $250/mo. The second one will give you redundancy and privately your rack/cabinet.

Here is my GigeNet review. I am about 8 months with them and I thought I own them one review.
I applied for managed dedicated server and in few hours I got message that my server is ready. It was windows 2008 data center box with Hyper-V which I use for VPS hosting. Soon after it was setup I had problems with routing my VPS machines to outside world. I got response in 3 minutes with solution . After that I requested support many times, on different issues, like setting up my own BW monitoring for VPS, windows licensing, firewalls, CPanel (I have some Linux VPS too), and each time I got prompt response from their very kind support. I really have feeling they have 3 people working just for me.
Later on I bought another server, requested all kinds of stuff from them like transferring IP blocks from one server to another and changing CPU on live server (with 15 minutes of downtime, I don't know how they did that ), and they were prompt and professional every single time.
In the past I had few horror stories, but finally I found dedicated server company which is almost too good to be true.
I really recommend them to everyone, especially if you can get one of theirs special offers, when they basically give you all above mentioned for the price of unmanaged server.

I'm considering upgrading our company's server. We run an ecommerce site php/mysql based, we have about 12,000 visitors per day and we use up about 1500 gig per month. Simple ecommerce site, nothing fancy. We had some complains from people that our site is "slow" (despite it running smoothly for us, but these people claimed that only our site was "slow" and that they use fast connections) so that's why now I'm thinking maybe its time to upgrade.
We are using softlayer, for an extra $50 per month they recommended that we upgrade from our Opteron 1216 to "Xeon 3220 - 2.40GHz (Kentsfield) - 2 x 4MB cache"
Are we going to see a serious increase in performance? Will the increase be enough that most visitors will actually be able to feel it?

How much bandwidth/month can we expect with them ? I read several stories... someone wrote he was able to push only about 3TB and others can push 5TB - 9TB
So what's your experience?

I have several unmanaged Xen-based VPSes with a company that I've for the most part been very pleased with for the past couple years. I recently got an email from them saying that the physical server my VPS was on needed some components replaced and that the VPS would be "briefly unavailable" on a Saturday morning to do so.
Now, my definition of "briefly unavailable" is a few minutes, maybe 5 minutes max. I assumed that they would migrate the VPSes to a backup physical server while they fixed the other one, then migrate them back afterwards. In fact, I thought that Xen was capable of doing this in real-time with no downtime.
But the VPS was down for over an hour, so they obviously just shut down the box with the VPSes running. Because of the nature of my website, that particular Saturday was very inconvenient for me to have extended downtime. I was rather upset and contacted them to let them know, but they seemed rather indifferent and suggested that I look into upgrading to their redundant/failover services.
So my question is, am I being unreasonable to expect that *planned* downtime be limited to a couple minutes, or is it normal for companies to just take the servers down while they perform the maintenance? I thought that real-time migration to a different server was one of the benefits of virtual servers and I was surprised that they didn't take advantage of it.

I recently changed server http://psrecipe.com/ to a new one, the dns has seemingly resolved for everyone else expect me.
It's been a week since changing the nameservers and host but it's leading me to the old server still.
Quote:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@psrecipe.madebyidea.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I can't understand why this is doing it.

The following expect script works perfectly from the command line, but fails under cron:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn sftp -b /root/sftp.txt root@***.***.***.***
expect "password:"
send "password
"
interact
The output is:
Code:
spawn sftp -b /root/sftp.txt root@***.***.***.***
root@***.***.***.***'s password:
I can't work out if the password just isn't getting sent, or if the interact command is causing the script to fail. I also can't fathom why this would only cause a problem under cron.

Recently i visited a Colo locally where i was given a strange pricing structure which i m confused about.
Half Rack
15 Amps
XXX Bandwidth
$600
Full Rack
20 Amps
XXX Bandwidth
$1500
Now here's the confusion when i fill up half rack it only comes to 6 to 7 servers, anything above that i m being charged per server which is $100. So here i feel i m paying just for power left aside rack and bandwidth. So purchasing 2 half racks seems more efficient.
P.S bandwidth is same on each server by the GB and not mbps or gbps.

it's been year and half since we are together, so i can tell a lot more about medialayer.
1. speed is excellent. various users from all over the world reporting that the website reaction is good to excellent. that includes aussies.
2. uptime is perfect. i know, that sometimes they DO announce some maintenance works, and i suspect they really do them, but till now my impression is that they operate like little dwarves - nobody sees and nobody feels anything.
3. support - quick, effective, polite - who would want more?
me and my firm are very happy with our choice we maid a year and a half ago. these days we launch another website, hosted with medialayer.

just wanted to share my experience with the shared hosting service offered by hostiaweb.com which i ve been using from nearly 3 months. i usually don't write reviews because i am kinda lazy, well actually the truth is i ve never had that "completely satisfied" feeling with any web host before. One thing kinda honored me that one of their support guy told me that i am very valuable because i am one of their first clients. its not always bad to give new companies a chance. anyways here it is:
the signup process:
i like the system they use for order, signup. after i completed the payment, i ve logged in to my email account to check if their instant setup was for real and i was amazed to see the welcome email already in there. everything worked like charm, however the domain took more then 2 hours to start working after i changed the name-servers.
control panel, uptime, troubles:
i have to say that i did not notice a single second of downtime till now. their servers are very fast (at-least the one i am hosted on)
the control panel they use is cpanel but thats what majority of the hosts use, because i have tried many hosting services and only one of them did not offer cpanel.
in the start i had a bit problem with ftp but not only they fixed it for me but also helped me in installing a blogging script.
support:
their support has been excellent so far, i did not ask for much support because i know most of the stuff myself but all the tickets i ve submitted.. i received very professional, helpful responses.
the thing which really impressed me was that sometimes their support team was so fast that it amazed me.
BAD THINGS :
there was a problem in their customer panel so it kept sending me emails for unpaid invoices when i had no due invoices, this really pissed me off. but they fixed it fast.
the domain i bought and name-servers resolution took over 2 hours which i think is very slow.
for those who wondering, my website is getyourpr.net
FINAL OUTCOME:
i would rate hostiaweb.com's:
Support: 9/10
Uptime : 10/10
Domain registration process: 6/10
Customer control panel: 8/10
OVERALL RATING: 8.5/10

I am facing an very typical problem, when I start apache and mysql both my site works good for half and hour or so then start getting slower and slower to load and after sometime becomes completely inactive. Then i have to restart both mysql and apache to get my site back.
When sites became inactive I have to restart only apache to see it back.Restarting only mysql dont help at that time.
Apache runs without any problem when running alone .(mysql stoped.)

I got problem with collisions
I think this because of half duplex that nic does:
eth0: no autonegotiation, 100baseTx-HD, link ok

basic mode: autonegotiation enabled
basic status: autonegotiation complete, link ok
capabilities: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
advertising: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD
link partner: 100baseTx-HD
Is this because of nic or switch?
what is link partner?

a month and a half ago i was in the market for a VPS that would suite my private hosting company /design firm. After getting Pm's from many of the hosters , I was not impressed with the way they would not negotiate. i didn't need 40 gb space but still wanted 200 gb bandwidth. Thats when i came across birdhosting! It even turned out that the owner was at webhostingtalk as well! I pmed and we discussed the plan that i needed. he negotiated and i had gotten what i wanted . He also gave me his contact info so i could speedily contact him through an instant messenger. I had come across very minor problems but that was because i was a noob with plesk. I wanted to know how i could create reseller accounts and log in through shell. Through minutes i had them answered(They were veryy noobie but still). with the specs i had , It was the fastest Vps i had seen . (My specs were:
10 gb space
128 mb ram with 256 burst
200gb b/w

Since a week ago or so, in one of our Plesk 12.0.18 / Centos 6.6 servers, when we create subdomains the process seems to stop half-way without being finished.
To reproduce the error:
Select a subscription (e.g. example.com) and go to "Domains and subdomains"
Select "add new subdomain" and enter a value (e.g. new.example.com). The directory will live in parallel to httpdocs
Click Accept
Expected result:
The subdomain should be created: Filesystem diirectory with default contents, DNS entry, Apache VirtualHost, etc.
Actual result:
After several minutes Plesk responds with Internal Errror (in a red area in the panel).
Things done right:
The file space in parallels with httpdocs is created fine with the default site.
DNS entries are created under /var/named/chroot infrastructure.
The subdomain menu appears fine in the Plesk panel.
Things wrong/missing:
The filesystem directory is not mapped by Apache. Even after changing its contents the default server templeate appears in the browser, (all precautions taken, apache restart, browser in private session and different browsers).
Log info:
- /var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log says:
2015/05/27 18:17:45 [error] 28890#0: *1828 readv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading upstream, client: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, server: , request: "POST /smb/web/add-subdomain HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/sw-engine.sock:", host: "<hostname>:8443", referrer: "https://<host>:8443/smb/web/add-subdomain"

If I post this in the wrong forum section, forum admins should feel free to move the thread to an appropriate section.
It's been more than half a year, now, since the previous disaster with Rageki Hosting, and since the transition to MDDHosting, there have been no negative hosting experiences with MDDHosting to report. There hasn't even been any need to initiate support tickets, once the initial transition phase was past, where Rageki Hosting left us in the lurch, and Mike over at MDDHosting communicated with us at that time, back in March of this year, in order to get things plucked from the nether void caused by Rageki Hosting's abrupt shutdown.
So, if the last six to seven months are any indication, the decision to go with MDDHosting for the local landscape guy's website, which I set up for him, seems to have been a good decision on our part.
There has only been a single instance, during these past six to seven months, where the landscape guy complained about his site not loading. When he reported that to me, I promptly tried to bring his website up in my web browser, and it loaded just fine. When I told this to the landscape guy, and told him to try and load his site, again, it loaded on his end, also. Personally, I think that it was a glitch on the landscape guy's end, a problem with his computer or Internet provider, and not a problem with the webhost, MDDHosting. I don't consider it to be downtime, because there was no actual, solid indicator on my end that the website was actually down, where that particular episode was concerned.
Every time that I, personally, have tried to bring up the website, since things were up and running on MDDHosting, the site has loaded. It's not a busy website, at all, but it is a business related website, so downtime issues for this particular website are particularly important to both the landscape guy and to myself.
In sum, I give two thumbs up to MDDHosting on the reliability of its web hosting.

Lets assume I have the following equipment Hardware Firewall, Switch, 1U KVMoIP, 1U server and a 0U APC Switchable Power strip.
So there is 1 FastE ethernet drop.
Code:
FastE
||
Firewall
||
Switch -> KVMoIP
-> APC
-> Server
Of course, then
KVMoIP
||
Server
My question is, which comes first after the FastE drop, firewall then switch or vice-versa?

providers who might have a cabinet available at PAIX?
We just got a great deal on a Gig circuit to PAIX, but the carrier doesn't have space available.
We'll probably to putting in a 6506 - so at least half a cabinet, most likely a full one.
We don't need bandwidth, just a cabinet and power.

if 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?

I use APC Netshelter cabinets now; I have a need for some cabinets with 23-inch wide rails, capable of holding telco muxes, rectifiers, batteries, etc. Any suggestions on cabinet?
Something that would blend in with APC Netshelters (black, bowed/curved door on cold aisle) would be nice. I know I've seen a cabinet very similar to Netshelter delivered from NetApp, but with a grey/off-black color, and 1-piece door on the hot aisle. If APC is just sourcing their cabinets from some manufacturer who takes engineering requests, it would be great to find out who makes them.

I'm planning to move my co-located server to a cabinet soon. We are adding dedicated web & database servers to take the load off of the main box. I will get one GigE drop in this cabinet, so obviously I need a switch.
No routing is needed on my end, so my guess is that the regular GigE switch would do just fine. But I have few concerns about my setup.
All of my servers have dual GigE port. My plan is to connect one to the internet, and another to a local private lan for SMB, database, SNMP, and such. Jumbo frame is enabled on a private lan.
Is there any 16-port switch that allows me to assign 8 ports into one virtual switch (1500-byte frame) and another 8 into another virtual switch (9000-byte frame) ?
On the internet side, I expect to be pushing around 300-400mbps, a bit higher on the private lan. I need a very stable switch that won't choke or crash at this rate.
I'd also like to be able to limit throughput on each port, and probably do port/ip filtering on this switch instead of iptables on each box. (Am I asking too much for a switch?)

When looking at the 1U's, I have to search really long and hard trying to find a half-decent host. A lot of companies skimp on something when offering colo, and makes for a bad day when that particular service is needed.
On the other hand, I see a lot of colocation offers for great deals on Cabinets and half Cabinets. High, premium bandwidth, PLENTY of amps, top of the line support, etc. It would be tempting to go for these, except I only have a single unit server.
I was going to give up on finding a good colo, then I got an idea. What if I got together a few other people, we all pitched in for our slice of a cabinet, and bring the price well within reasonable limits for those of us with low demands?
Would it be too difficult to do something like this? If you run across this topic and are looking for colo, would you be willing to give this a shot?

I'm about to move 31 machines into a 42U full cabinet
Previously I was on an uncapped bandwidth provider but we had a lot of problems with them so I decided to find a new provider who charges bandwidth by mbps
I do not have mrtg installed or managed switches, but I may start with 10mbps.
But I'm just curious, what takes a full cabinet with more than 30 machines does the total bandwidth takes you.
Perhaps any colo provider here don't mind to share their stats.

its got a fan in the ceiling of it. I have read that ceiling fans don't do much and its the front to back cooling that really makes a difference. Is this true?
If you don't like this type of cab, which type do you like?

I'm currently colocated in 365 Main in San Francisco.
Due to power limitations there I need a new place with 1-2 cabinets, about 25Amps and 1-2mbps committed.
I'm looking for a long-term, reliable, 24x7 NOC, with no surprises. If my servers are down, I'm out of business, so uptime (power+network) is the most important factor.
I will summarize the recommendations I get and post them back here.

10TB (up and/or down) transfer on at least 100Mbps port
Good uptime history (BGP mix, A/B redundant power feeds, redundant hvac, etc)

20A circuit (willing to consider 10A)
Access to KVMoIP
