need about 2000-3000 GB BW per month and i have two choice now :10MBPS unmetered port and 100MBPS unmetered port. I need BW for image hosting. What is the different between it? What is better for me?
I noticed a website which stated that the server's bandwidth is "3300GB (10Mbps unmetered)"
What does this mean? That at any point in time, I will be able to download data at 10Mbps from the server but that I am limited to a total bandwidth of 3300GB a month?
After the recent null route of my server ip by providers datacenter without asking no questions nor informing anyone from VD or myself. I am forced to seek a replacement for a 10 mbps unmetered server used for web proxies.
Suggest me good place which has good business ethics and atleast care to inform their customers of their actions.
no Burst net based resellers or anyone even remotely related to burst!
I have hired a server in Limestone with port of 100MB but when attempt to unload a file the transfer rate does not exceed more of 10MB, but I see that the port is in 80% of its use.
The server is new and he only has installed Windows
Im 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.
I can stay for a long long time, and thus building a strong server by upgrading whenever I have the spare cash to do so. What I'm thinking is a service where it's possible to buy more HD space, RAM or CPU by paying a ONE TIME fee.
Other requirerments is: - It must come with cpanel/whm - CentOS or linux OS - I would prefer if the server is managed, and unmetered.
The server should of course be used for everything from having image host, to downloading via bitorrent. Obviously I'm looking for a host who doesn't put their nose into my business.
to fire up a P4 in California to target Asia. GBLX or Sprint or AT&T transit is a must. The usage for this server would be a ~7mbps average with 5 hour daily bursts up to 20mbps(comes out to around 2300GB).
PacificRack seemed perfect for my needs, but won't answer sales emails...I've read good things, but i'm worried about signing up.
My budget is around $200, this shouldn't be a problem right?
I always thought that 10 mbit unmetered was just a prank or not really dedicated to the server. But damn the server i got from www.kevworks.net totally screamed when doing some real bw tests.
Might try more tests to see if server performs and can provide the bw juice for me.
These are the stats from mrtg i got going :
Max Average Current In 9853.9 kb/s (98.5%) 311.2 kb/s (3.1%) 4805.5 kb/s (48.1%) Out 9553.6 kb/s (95.5%) 849.0 kb/s (8.5%) 9553.6 kb/s (95.5%)
Well cannot really post link to the mrtg as wht mods will go "aah bunny no url posting to ur site " crazy !!
So look at the screenie itself
Amazing i was actually able to pull 10mbit/s out of the server. So good work to you Kevin (kev not sure what his name is or am too tired to remember ).
PS: will be doing more bw tests over the next weeks or over the entire month, i am trying to somehow use full 3.3 TB bw over the month. (doing mirrors for distros and other linux stuff can really push the limits at times) Wondering if anyone know of places to get some beta testers to test the server's bw limits (act as mirror for your game maps, linux distros, rpm packages and w/e comes free to download)
Hopefully server wont be shut down cause bunny used the full bw potential ( i have heard horror stories of providers capping servers further and stuff when customers starts pulling too much bw (maybe cause they put server on shared bw or something).
When companies say your uplink or port speed is 100mb/s, do they mean you're sharing it with hundreds of other servers or you have 100mb/s that is for you? If its shared, than why even write 100mb/s because you will never truly achieve that.
I was looking at staminus dedicated hosting offers, and after I asked them about secure port packages prices. I would like to know, after I purchase a dedicated server, how to install secure port? Does it work like a protected DNS?
I've got a CentOS 5 box that I want to cap/throttle the speed of the port to ensure that no more than 50 meg is passing in either direction at any given time.
- I know you can do this with FreeBSD using ipfw but that's not an option for me at the moment...
- I also know you can do this with some reasonably decent switching gear but again that's not an option. It's not my switch and they don't provide capped ports.
So, the question then becomes is there any way to lock the port down to 50 meg using only linux itself?
if you can share a 100MB download link that I can use to test cogent's speed to my network. Hopefully plugged into a 100MBPS port at the switch to see if it will max out or not.
I was on the phone with tech support at a datacenter that hosts one of my servers and I asked him as I have all my servers beside this particular one on 100mbps connections about the noticable difference between the speeds as 10mbps is fast to begin with.
I was told that he, from personal experience, never noticed the difference between the two because any computer he accessed his sites/files from never had a connection itself of over 4mbps.
He then went on and said the only people that 100mbps would benefit are people who personally have a computer that has a speed of over 10mbps.
I'm gullable and he was very convincing but does anyone have a better explanation of noticable difference (from the client perspective) between the two speeds?
I've only ever been with 2 hosts, so I'm not that experienced with web hosting.
But I notice everybody gives a monthly price, but the 2 host's I've used I have payed the yearly sum.
When I first got my host I was 16 and it was quite a bit of money, I could afford the monthly price, but It was a shock to have it all taken in one go.
Is there anywhere out there that you can choose to actually pay monthly, or is it done yearly to avoid the hasstle of setting up a server for someone who after one month decides not to continue paying?
I just spent three hours digging through a pile of hosting companies trying to pick one, and although lots of them looked nice, were recommended by plenty of people and cost a reasonable amount they required 6months-a year up front. Some of them had a money back guarantee for 30/45/60 days, but what good is that if I have to cough up $60-100+ bucks to decide for a month?
So I'm looking for a list of companies who sell hosting monthly, not just at a monthly fee figured from the bigger time frame you pay for.
