Dedicated Servers For Germany -- Good Providers? OK To Host In Amsterdam
Mar 9, 2008
We need to get another dedicated server in Germany for a video application (so low latency and high-quality connectivity are crucial). Our current server is hosted with NetDirekt in Frankfurt -- our first year with them has been very good. However I want the next server located in a different city, for redundancy.
My considerations:
- English-speaking sales & support
- Highly reliable network
- Low latency to Germany users
Do you have any recommendations among the following short-list of providers?
Germany:
- plusserver.de
- probe-networks.de
- hosteurope.de
Amsterdam:
- eurovps.com
- leaseweb.com
Is Amsterdam a suitable location if I'm serving German end-users? Latency matters a lot... so if a German datacenter saves 20ms of latency, that's important.
Do you know of any other comparable providers -- especially ones that do not require a 12-month contract?

If you got a dedicated server in Germany not running on maxium load and would like to make some money I'd be interested in running a small gameserver from your machine.

I have been with 1&1 for over three years now and I have never seen our dedicated server go down. Their network is first-class and I have actually been able to get transfer rates of over 10MB/sec on our 100Mbps port.
I'm in the market for a colo host now because our current hardware is getting old and the CPU is really loaded down, but in my search I realized how many bad comments there are and how few good comments there are about hosts. Therefore, I just wanted to try and make the reviews more equitable before I leave this host (and possible get ripped off at my next one

The domain I want to use for email is now linked to my Hostgator account. But I'm interested to have a look at other solutions that have a better or a more user friendly way of managing email, I want to be able to make variations, e.g. news@domain.com, spam@domain.com etc...and it would also be a big plus if I could view them all in their own respective folders using only one login.
A while ago when ajax was still new I saw an email provider that provided a completely ajaxianed interface. I can't remember what it's called but I'd like to have a look at it again so if someone knows what I'm talking about...

Can we host a domain spanned over different servers?
Eg: domain.com
domain.com/blog hosted on host1 (dns.host1.com)
domain.com/forum hosted on host2 (dns.host2.com)
domain.com/wiki hosted on host3 (dns.host3.com)
Can this be done? How to implement this?
What are the features or facilities required to host like this.
Many of the free or cheap hosting companies and servers get closed very soon. They are not so reliable.
So if we can host the Blogs and Forums on a different servers and other content on low cost servers,

what companies anyone has traded with within the UK, I've only ever worked with companies in the US and Germany. Now I've looked into companies in the UK but I've never used one - well not directly.
Main reason is speed.
If anyone can post any reconmendations It'll be helpful.
Most things I'm looking for is location - (Mainly if I do choose to go colo in the future) - Area would be Northwest, mainly Manchester, since it's only a train ride away.
But that's not all. I'd first like to start off with a small dedicated or VPS - depends on the time. Then upgrade - so they'd have to have great range of servers with cheap upgrade options and/or addons. VPS > Dedicated (then maybe) > Colo.
(PS: I'm just looking for now, I'm just in the process of planning - Main reason of use would be to start a free webhost. - For now no real budget since it's the early stages, check out the competition and all that.)

My company (small web hosting company, mostly personal/blog sites with a couple of higher-load commercial customers) is looking to make a change from our current provider to another dedicated server host, and reading through the threads here I've seen a few names recommended but every provider does seem to have its share of detractors as well.
I'm wondering if you guys would be willing to post your "personal top five" dedicate server hosts, bearing in mind we're looking at "middle-of-the-road" hardware, 2000 gig traffic a month, really robust customer support (my current provider wants me to open a "billable ticket" even to ask about network outages!), and we're looking to spend about $150/mo, give or take (less, of course, if possible).
I've been looking at burstnet but that one thread with the incredibly angry guy has me a tiny bit concerned.
Really appreciate the help. After we decide on a move (which we're looking to do this week or early next) I'll post who we picked, who we're moving from, and all the whys and wherefores.

The reason for this post is some slight unhappiness with my current US-based server provider. In the last sixth months, they've upped their prices over 30%, turned my server off for 6 and 24 hours by accident on two separate respective occasions (then tried to cover it up), before finally giving me some less than brilliant customer service.
That, combined with the fact that the pound is rapidly weakening against the US dollar has led to me paying for an overly expensive server, and also leaves to me wanting to move to a different and UK-based provider.
Now, I don't need (nor can afford) a massively powerful server - the one I'm currently on is fairly basic (single core Athlon, 512mb RAM, 10mbit and a fair whack of bandwidth) - but I do need the control it provides. A VPS providing a similar amount of processing power could be considered, but obviously on the guarantee that the provider isn't overselling etc. I'd like the server to come with DirectAdmin, to simplify migration a bit.
It's also important that the UK-based provider actually has their servers in the UK, rather than just being registered in the UK - the former would still leave me rather vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuation.
Does anyone have any suggestions: either to swing me one way in the dedi/vps decision, or for some decent providers?

I plan on doing a small, well maybe not too small project and I was wondering if you guys can help me out. I am familiar with some server companies but what I need is strategic locations across the US.
Only dedicated server providers and NOT resellers.
The breakdown:
US EAST
-NYC
-NJ
-Washington D.C.
US WEST
-Seattle
-LA
-SD
-SF
US MIDWEST
-TX
-CH
US SOUTH
-Miami
-Georgia
I know a few, but I will be looking at this list, your suggestions and buying servers from the companies. Please also list your personal experiences with said companies. I will not take Aug 2008 registration with 1 Post count seriously. This is a serious project and I have some money to spend. Let's just say enough to cover the expenditures and then some.

We use dedicated servers at several data centers.
We have used a particular host since 1999 (we were shared/resellers then) and have used dedicated with them since 2001.
For a particular set of development servers, moderate traffic e-commerce sites and testing we use them.
One particular server has been our workhorse and it basically had a ridiculously low grandfathered in price.
Unfortunately they moved us. That's not a problem. The problem is they moved our dedicated machine with 3 drives to a vps.
So instead of our own machine, we share a machine, and instead of 3 drives, we have 3 partitions on one drive.
(the drives were 1 for OS, 1 for websites, and 1 for backups)
This is a windows 2k3 machine
The did this without notice or warning.
We saw it, then they mentioned it in a support ticket, and now refuse to discuss it (no response to questions)
So, unfortunately we hate to move.
We use 3 provider, none of them have we been with less than 3 years. We are super loyal if you treat us right.
WE dedicate and not co-lo. Co-lo def would save us money, but we just prefer a dedicated environment.
What we are lookng for is an entry level server to begin a relationship with a new host
for this machine
need two small drives (35 GB or more)
half gig or more of memory
p4 or more processor
100mbps port preferred
win 2k3
if you want to throw in a control panel great
(sounds crappy doesnt it? but thats what we used for many years)
multiple IPs
of course, feel free to make it better
looking to pay less than $199/mo - no setup
less than 150 would be stupendous.
willing to sign a contract.
AM I asking too much? considering u could probably do the above with spare parts? I don't know
Prefer North American based machines.
We really don't have that much of a simultaneous strain on these, they are work horses really.

Some information about my forum:
I run a VBulletin forum with - 575,614 post, 14,369 members and 2.9 million page views per month. On average there are 300 - 400 people on the site.
The server right now is a Linux CentOS VPS with 1.1 gigs of memory. The hosting provider keeps telling me that I need a dedicated server.
Question # 1 - In your opinion - do you think its time for a dedicated server?
The server I am looking at has these stats:
E8300
2 GB RAM
250GB HD
cPanel
Management
The price I was given is pretty good. So the offer is going to be hard to pass up.
Question # 2 - Has anyone here used Future Hosting for their dedicated server solution?

I am just colocating servers and managing them myself, and renting services off of them. In the future I would like to start offering dedicated servers as well. I am wondering if many companies do this, or if its more of a general practice to just setup as a reseller? The worst part that comes to mind is thinking of how to do billing for the bandwidth per month. With my setup I would only be offering flat bandwidth packages (like 2TB a month) but even so, I cant think of anyway to automate it so WHMCS knows if they went over, if so, how much, etc.

However when I searched for reviews in WebHostingTalk and other websites, I got only REALLY bad and REALLY good reviews regarding Surf Speedy Servers (mostly at webhostingjury.com).
Can you tell me if you had any good or bad experience with Surf Speedy, and what are their problems?

We currently use VirtualNames.co.uk which are excellent both feature wise and regarding customer service. Now, I'm acutely aware that ALL my clients use VN, what if VN die!!?
So I'm on the look out for another UK hosting co. with a decent feature set but more importantly perhaps is their support response time replying to queries etc.
