when i see best prices for colo on a 42u rack its about 600-800$ for a full rack + 20 amp + 1-5 mbps bandwith but when i see the offers for 1u or 2u colo its almost 50-60$.
Why is there such a big difference?
With all the high power servers/blade servers, the 40A (@ 110V) power limit is way too small. I am wondering if there is any colo space targeted for high density application, e.g. with 10 KW/cab limit for 60A @ 208V power drops. Does anybody know of such high density colocation space? East coast is preferred.

Are there any other good third-party SFP suppliers?

Virtuozzo Prices?
Hello, I'm interested in Virtuozzo VPS containers, but I can't find the price of the software at Parallels site! Can anyone tell me whats the price?
Today I wanted to configure server for colocation and I went to both HP and DELL, and everything was ok until I started to configure HDDs. Price of regular 1Tb HDD is about $500 on both DELL and HP, while same drive costs $84 on newegg. Whats the catch? I mean processor, RAM, and everything else has normal prices, but HDDs are 6X more expensive than normal price.
Do you know any good site where I can configure server and order it to colocation address. Also it must be very cheap ? Best would be if I could order components from new egg, send them to company which assembles everything and then send it to DC.
We all see this and not just in the hosting industry. Prices like 7.95$ or 5.99$ or 1.90$. They mean just 8$, 6$ and 2$ on the excel sheet plus come cents more or less.
But for the customer he prefers to see the first digit only, just the 7 instead that he know hes is almost paying 8$.
Now, do people actually think this has some effect in the customer?
Do you think a price like 7.95$ actually looks cheaper then just a straight 8$ for example.
I know then when i look at such an price i just round it directly to 8$ so i that trick doest work on me and im sure it doesnt in allot of other people. When i shop online i just calculated all the products rounded directly so i get a higher price of what im paying. On the checkout i save just a little cents but i know i paid basically an exact number.
Now my discussion was to be able to know in what benefits and or hurts to use those prices for a company. Do people prefer decimal prices or do they just prefer a straight price. And why instead of 7.95$ people dont just use 8.20$. The price is basically the same, 8$ for the viewer or shopper but you are still making 20 cents more that the customer doesn't, care instead of actually losing 5 cents in each transaction.
does anyone have updated price info from those guys?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it just my imagination or has the prices of servers dropped significantly in the last 6 months or so?
View 2 Replies View RelatedShared rack space is $30/month per 1U and that includes power, cooling, and 8 ip’s.
Burstable to 1Mbps Overage
100Kbps = $35/month $350/Mbps
256Kbps = $75/month $300/Mbps
512Kbps = $125/month $250/Mbps
1Mbps = $180/month $180/Mbps
What do you guys think of these prices?
Are they standard or should I look for a better deal?
I am considering adding offsite secondary backup servers in house on a full T1 (multiple? or a fractional T3?). Servers will be located in Ontario Canada. Does anyone know the average, upper, and lower cost for a full or even partial T1? I am trying to go as cheap as possible since the line probably wont be used unless the datacenter looses service.
If anyones had any experience with T1, as far as price, reliability, best providers etc
I have a few offers to colocate in Los Angeles and in orange county.

i noticed that Intel is shipping new CPUs at such a fast rate that prices are dropping like stone... or am i wrong?
what do you think is the percentage points by which the prices of CPUs are dropping?
Anyone else in USA who does 10TB for around the prices of midphase?
I know of fdcservers already.
Just finished a conversation with a friend and business partner. He wondered if the the prices of shared plans will increase. My position was they would... or at least many companies will increase it withing the next few month.
My arguments is there was a pricing war since 2005 and many dropped their prices close to zero. Now the dollar is weak and there are many other reasons prices of shared account go grow.
Is there a difference between static IP's and dedicated IP addresses?
Also I'm in the Atlanta GA region, does anyone have any reccomendations on a bandwidth provider and avarage cost of static IP's?
I'm not in the market for colo, before you PM me with a deal.. I'm just curious what are people paying for cage space nowadays?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently hosting with WebNX. I have been a happy customer with them, but in this economy it is important to pinch pennies. I was paying $600 a month after a discount.

I am looking for servers with similar specification, but specifications do not have to be exact. <<snipped>>
what would you guys say are some reasonable (not too cheap and not too expensive) shared hosting prices?
im looking for how much space/transfer for $10, $20, and $30 budgets...
Like if you try to make your own server, it would cost a few thousand right? Or bought one from IBM or something. If you rent a server, it could cost you like double that I notice or even more in a period of a year.
I was looking at the prices of Xeon 5420 and they are like only 400 or something. Motherboard, ram, hdd's shouldn't amount to too much right?
And companies are charging like 50 bucks a month for a 2 gigs of ram.
Or am I actually looking at this wrong and actually am looking at desktop components? So is bandwidth the cost for these prices? In the long run aren't people being ripped off?
This morning I was doing some domain lookups trying to find an available yousuck.* domain, and I stumbled upon this record:

Is it really ethical for bluehost to advertise their prices in the whois records of domains registered through them?
I'm wondering what kind of prices you would be looking at for some private data center space, maybe in the InfoMart or one of Internaps data centers - somewhere in Texas though, preferably Dallas. Is there any kind of rough monthly price I should expect? Maybe a standard per sq ft charge?
Also, if you rent a private "suite" does that include office space, or would that still be needed separately? How much would it be to get a small (100 to 500 sq ft) office in the infomart?
Cabinet Suite (Internap only it seems), and private suites would be considered. Possibly a cage or private rack, but not preferred.
a company gives me 40U rack with 16A by 600€ per month. It will be enough power to fill the rack with Dell servers R200/R300 with dual and quad core processors?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI woke up to a complaint by the ISP of spamming for one of our servers. More than 10 000 spams in a shared hosting environment. Found Steven online, thank God! PM him and he went to work looking for the culprit. He spend time monitoring and putting in scripts to catch the culprit and in no time found the faulty script causing the spams.
Really saved me a big headache on how to explain to the ISP. Thanks to the consistent excellent work done by Steven of Rack911.
Those unpatched forums of clients can really be a hassle and a big source of problems.
We plan to redoing one of our rack in the next weeks
Server, switch and firewall of this rack will be move to new rack, so redoing cable and order at best.
You known any video tutorial of how to better this?
Our server count with The Planet only seems to be increasing as of late and I'm now starting to drive myself nuts with bandwidth counts, costs, etc.
My main concern at the moment is our total bandwidth. While we might have a server with a 2500GB limit only use 50% we might have a 1500GB limit use 200%. I understand that any overages are our own fault, etc but there must be a way for us to combine all bandwidth across all servers!
Is it possible for The Planet or any of the other big boys to provide private racks with pooled bandwidth without going colo?
I am planning on getting a server that will run Linux.
My requirements are as follows,
Should be rack server.
Can handle around 20.000 page views a day.
Should be solid.
Should I build it or should i just get HP, DEll etc.
I also would really appreciate if you guys assist me on what components should I get picking up a good server configuration.
I honestly dont understand why does DELL, HP and others price their 1U TFT monitors at 3 times the cost of the cheapest laptop?
I mean, dont get me wrong, I am all for spending good money to get quality products but I feel very awkward spending 3 times as much for a screen and keyboard when I can get their laptops WITH OS, MEMORY AND HDD for 3 times as less and use it as the 1U TFT monitors.
I can get a powerful server from Dell and HP at that price for crying out loud.
But then again, I might be seriously overlooking something here because what justifies such high price?
We have about 50 Cpanel servers in our own AS with two upstream providers. On the cpanel servers we use the following IPs in the /etc/resolv.conf:
1. IP of the cpanel server
2. DNS IP of the 1st upstreamprovider
3. DNS IP of the 2nd upstreamprovider
I realized, that the upstreampoviders nameserver are not answering that fast and therefore I was thinking to make my own DNS Server, which I could use additionaly after the IP of the cpanel server.
Is this a good idea or is it not necessary? If it is a good idea, which dns deamon would be recommended? If we build this server, maybe would be also nice if we could offer DNS as a single service. Is there any solution where we could create user accounts where user could manage there own dns zones?
I have 10 servers and it causes me $1713 monthly. I decide to get a rack and buy 10 servers from dell but the problem is: I don’t know anything about racks
