Dedicated Server In US (west Coast) Or Asia Region
Aug 18, 2008
does 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, ...
I'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.
We'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?
I 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?
I 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):
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.
Couple 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.
I'm starting a B2B site which the primary market would be in Asia.
Should I have my server in Asia or US? I would like to get some advise/recommendation for:
- Where should I setup my server at? (especially if going forward I will have customers all over the world too, not just Asia)
- Any dedicated hosting server in Asia that is reliable?
- Will Amazon EC2 fit my situation?
but I heard, their initial configuration and maintenance is pretty complicated (and not reliable too)
Most of the US based hosting offering pretty huge package and atractive price, unlike their counterpart in Asia.
I almost signup with MediaTemple (dv) sevice, but then I realize that they don't have any network in Asia, and I'm just concerned about latency/download speed, etc.
I know their service is good in the US, but not sure if it's used in Asia.
any comment for skynethosting.net, theplanet, hostsg, or MediaTemple with the usage in Asia?
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.
Knownhost 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.?
I am currently running a VPS in the Colo4Dallas datacenter. A couple users of regional Japanese sites report sluggish loading from Japan.
I am contemplating a couple possible solutions to this problem:
Move the VPS to a facility near 1 Willshire in Los Angeles. I think that one issue might be the risk of earthquakes.
Set up a separate small VPS in a facility near 1 Willshire in Los Angeles. Other than the issue above, I wonder if I am not overdoing it by setting up a second VPS.
Set up a separate small VPS with Clara Japan. They run an English service brand Usonyx.
As above, I am wondering if I am truly doing myself a favor running a separate VPS, though the benefit would be the local proximity.
Am I missing something? What are your experiences? How have you solved similar issues?
This might be a very broad question, but do they split up IP Address Groups for each region in countries? I know my country is quite small and all, but I was interested to know if IP addresses can be tracked for regions, more specifically in other countries.
is there a datacenter north of Toronto that offers colocation? Something in Markham would be nice, but anywhere in silicon valley north would be great.
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?
Who in 5851 West Side Ave (Switch and Data facility) in North Bergen, NJ does half cabinets? Looking to get my hands on a half cab with 20amps. I know of AMC, already contacted them.
We have our main cluster in Atlanta, Georgia, USA and intend to keep it there. However our customers in Malaysia are not able to connect reliably to that server. They have up to 30% packet loss.
I want to get a server that can sit in the middle and just port-forward between Malaysia and the USA. This needs to be just a low-cost linux vps server as it is doing very little.
Does anyone know of a provider that has good links to the USA and to South East Asia who can provide a server like this?
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 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.
