Ordering E1/T1-via-MPLS To My Colocated Server?

Nov 9, 2009

I need to colocate a server, and then order two E1 links to it (to be more precise, it's one link and one backup). Both the colocation DC and the link's destination will be in NY metro area. The link will be delivered via MPLS.

Please, could you help me to clarify the following points:

1) How much, very roughly, should an MPLS E1(+backup) cost in NY metro?

2) I understand that usually there are several quality of service classes in MPLS (e.g., realtime, guaranteed, best efforts, etc). Do I understand it right, that I can have, say, 20% realtime, and 80% best efforts, and then 400kbps would be reserved for the lowest latency traffic on E1 line?

3) What kind of quality guarantees (e.g., max/avg latency) are usually given for T1/E1 MPLS lines?

4) How expensive is "realtime" quality class compared to "guaranteed"?

And last, but not least
5) how is this E1-via-MPLS link delivered to my server? (I think, this is something called "demarcation" or "demarking" or whatever it is called). Does it terminate somewhere in the DC building? And how does it go from there? Do I get a copper ethernet plug in the end?

6) Do I need to pay an enormous cross-connect fee to the DC (in addition to the E1 fees to the line provider), or are these things normally much cheaper than intra-DC cross-connects?

Making VPS On Colocated Server

Jul 8, 2007

I'm getting myself a colocated server in August.

Its quite a 'powerful' one (Q6600, 2GB, 2x160GB). It will be running Windows Server 2003 Standard edition.

I would also like to make a test 2003 installation on the server itself and most likely a Linux Ubuntu) installation too.

Now VPS looks good, but I have some questions about it.

- Can I run 2003 (virtual in VPS) with the same SPLA license?

- Is it possible to give the power of one core of the CPU (since I got four) to a VPS? (so it doesn't stress other cores)

- For example, I host an application on port 5000 (random chosen ) on the non-VPS system, is it possible to host the same application in the VPS system on the same port with an other IP address assigned to it?

- Whats the best (free if possible, shouldn't have many options (just an on/off switch )) way to make a VPS in Windows?

- Is it a problem with servers of these days to push the 'maximum' (or like 80%) out of the network connection (a gigabits or 100MBits)? Are the server response response times (pings) acceptable for gaming when its under such a load?

After Ordering A Dedicated Server Package..

Aug 29, 2008

ordering a dedicated server package, what else is there to expect as far as running or pointing your domain name to the servers IP? what else is needed to.. lets say get supercoolryan.com up and running.

Would the hosting company provide this setup for me or do i have to do it myself?

i might order windows server 2003 and install apache.

There are lot's of dedicated servers being offered at prices lower than 1U colocated rackspace. How's that possible, what am I missing?

My OVH/Kimsufi Review: After Ordering The I7 920 8XL Plan

Jan 2, 2009

Note before reading: Apologies everyone, but I can not link to URL's or use BB code as I have a post count of less than 5, when I posted this review.

Hello everyone,

A while back, I posted on here to see if anyone could offer a good deal for an i7 920, or know of a place who could. After finding no success due to the i7 being too new, I chose kimsufi, a section of OVH.

Following this you will find my lengthy review of OVH/Kimsufi, I hope members or guests of this forum find this useful in their search for the best provider or worst provider out there.

Specifications from kimsufi.co.uk (a section of ovh.co.uk):

- Intel Core i7 920 x2 (Quad Core) 2.66GHz+

- 6GB DDR3 RAM

- 250GB HDD SATA2

- 1GBPS Network Connection

- Unmetered Bandwidth

- FTP Backup Space

After ordering on the 24th December, knowing they only had 72h server's in stock, I couldn't wait to use the new i7 server! So, on Monday 29th I queried when the server would be ready, hoping it would be before the new year as that works out to Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, which are all business days calculating to the 72 hour setup time.
Later that day, I received the following response via email:

"I can see that the order is being processed, however with the kimsufi's orders can take up to 72 hours to be delivered (not including the bank holidays). If you can, please be patient and it should be with you before the New Year bank holiday."

So basically, they were saying it should be up by Wednesday, I thought great! However, it would seem this is not true after all. I rung up on Wednesday via phone this time, the first call at lunch time asking about my order, the guy told me he would chase it up and let me know via email. Three hours later, nothing. So I rung back again and it was the same guy I spoke to earlier, he said he had no response on the enquiries he was making and would get onto the matter now. About 20 minutes later he rung me back to explain that the order appears to have been stuck in processing and would not get processed till Monday at the earliest, of next week. A moment later, possibly after I wasn't too pleased, he told me to hold the line, then a moment later told me Friday would be the earliest, of this week. After phoning back later and talking to option 2, rather than option 1, I spoke to someone called Sophie. We had quite a lengthy conversation, but in the end it resulted in the situation being resolved on Friday, by which she would contact me regarding the situation.

On Friday morning I received a phone call from Sophie stating the distribution I had chosen during the ordering process is encountering problems and would be delayed until Monday (VMWare Server), so I chose to have CentOS 5.0 64-bit without VMWare Server instead. She told me this would be done within an hour and I would receive login details, in the meantime she would keep an eye on the progress every so often. Almost 3 hours go by and nothing has happened. I then emailed customerservices to try and get in contact with her via email, but after two emails within a span of roughly two hours, I had no response. I then got a colleague to phone them this time, as I had given up with this fight for a server order, and after talking to Sophie, she told them she would ring my mobile phone shortly to let me know what has happened. Another hour goes by, no phone call or email from OVH or Sophie herself. During the span of that afternoon I had several colleagues hassle OVH regarding my order, to no success.

As of now, it would seem my server hostname pings and responds to SSH, where it did not a while ago (as if it wasn't made yet), but unfortunately some wise person hasn't bothered to send out the login information to me, and change the pending state on my account on OVH to an active state. After phoning the french phone number which is available till 11pm, they told me they could not resolve this issue and therefore I must contact their commercial support number at 9am tomorrow morning. I have high doubts that they will get this resolved tomorrow after all the running around I have had to do and have been given by OVH support.

To say the least I am not amused by the disgusting order process. I have never encountered anything so shoddily put together in my entire life. The worst part of it is, by Wednesday 23:58 they will have technically exceed the 72h setup time which the site stated when I ordered on the 24th, as 72h is 3 business days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday), and no compensation has been offered other than a simple apology and a 'happy new year', I'll give them a happy new year for sure...

Due to this experience, I would NOT recommend to anyone who is looking for dedicated servers to order from OVH/Kimsufi unless you are willing to put up with a possibly bad ordering process as I did, or worse, having to chase up support several times on this matter.

Maybe commercial support will fix the problems tomorrow, but this is my review of OVH/Kimsufi to the date I posted this.

Renting Colocated Servers As Dedicated Servers

Oct 11, 2009

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.

Improve Performance- Web Server, SSH Server, And Mail Server

May 8, 2007

I've got a VPS which is serving as the main server for a number of sites. Web Server, SSH Server, and Mail Server.

What I've got running:

Apache2, PHP5, MySQL5, Dovecot, Postfix

One of the sites is a growing forum with a MASSIVE photo album. This is the site where I notice the most slowness.

Changing the server software is not an option - Only optimization.

Plesk 11.x / Windows :: Don't Have Root Access To Server As It Is A Webfusion Dedicated Server

Oct 16, 2013

I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -

1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription
2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents
3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL

FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??

URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??

Urchin 5 / Google A . Transfering From Server To Server (Serial Already Activated)

Nov 21, 2006

I am currently running Google Analytics/Urchin 5 (v5.7.02), on a server, the server has started to act up, (on its last legs etc) and now I am trying to transfer the Urchin Software to a new server, where it would work effectively.

However upon installing the urchin software on the new server and running it (localhost:9999), I am presented with An Action Items Page, and these following choices

Obtain Demo License
Buy License
Activate Pre-Purchased License

I choose ‘Activate Pre-Purchased License’ pop in the Serial number and complete the registration then…

---------------------------------------------------------
Urchin Licensing Center -- Error!

An error has occured during your transaction, please use the back button and correct the problem. The specific error message is:

• Unable to generate a license. Some possible reasons:

Your serial code is currently active <<< How do I disable it and use it on another server?
---------------------------------------------------------

So all I want to do is deactivate the serial and reactivate it on another server.

Does anyone have experience with this or a similar problem or have a solution to this problem. Any help be most appriciated.

Or even a Contact Number so that i can get some one over the phone!

Cpanel Domain Name Server (DNS) Setting For Email On 2 Seperate Server

Nov 7, 2009

This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.

However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.

My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?

Server1 (www.domain.com)
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com

Server2
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com

Do I tell my hosting provider to just install the OS and give me ssh action and that's it? Don't install any control panels or any other stuff? I want one domain and one subdomain on it though and ftp action.

The new server would not be accessible by hostname (only via IP) until DNS and glue records were changed after the migration.

Cheap European Server For Small Game Server

Aug 31, 2008

I've been developing a small 2D MMORPG lately. I bought a VPS to run the server on a few days ago and sadly it doesn't work so well. Sometimes the loads go pretty high (afaik not caused by me) and MySQL freezes, causing the server to just wait for MySQL to unlock, hanging all the players around on the map. Not a good thing.

Anyway, the game is very small scale, and I'm not planning to have more than maybe 30-50 players online. It does not suck up much CPU, I had ~10 guys online and loads stayed down at 0.00 on the VPS box.

Problem with getting a dedicated is our very low budget. As I'm still underage and living at home hammering my pc and don't have any real incomes, we're talking numbers like $ 30 - $ 50 USD per month - it's really hard to find for that price in Europe.

Requirements:
Monthly payment, $ 30 - $ 50 / month, no setup (or very small setup, like $ 20)
10Mbit/s or faster connection, 100GB traffic should do
500MHz CPU is all cool
512MB or more RAM
5GB diskspace is enough
Has to be in Europe due to ping times (< 100ms)
Linux, Debian 4.0 prefered

If anyone knows where I could get something like this for a low price, $ 30 to $ 50 USD, it'd be great.

Worth Upgrading To Quadcore Server (win2003 Server)?

Dec 8, 2008

Site is currently running on a single code single cpu p4 server. Am thinking of upgrading to a quad core Xeon server.

My site is pretty dynamic with lots of hits to php / mysql, and has trouble keeping up with the requests sometimes. Would a quadcore Xeon significantly help?

Server Software:
Windows 2003 Server
php 5.2.6
apache 2
mysql 4.1

Current Setup:
P4 2.8 single core/cpu.

Proposed setup
Xeon 3210 quadcore

I guess my confusion lies in the following:

1. Can win2003 server make use of the quadcores?
2. Does php / apache / mysql make use of the quadcores?
3. Will i see a significant increase in the amount of pages i can serve?
