We are looking for recommendations on a Tier 1 hosting facility similiar to Rackspace but on the West Coast.
Our requirement would be ;
approx 20 dedicated servers
Centos OS
OS install to Platform only - no OS support
solid bandwidth and connectivity
100% Network Uptime Guarantee
30 Minute Hardware Replacement SLA
I am hunting for a Westcoast, Windows VPS solution. The closer to San Jose, the better.
A 30 day guarantee would be great also!
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?
Is the location really effecting to performance?
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe'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?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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):

Anyone have experiences with using Qwest bandwidth in Northern California they care to share?
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.
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.
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 am curious which location in the US is better for serving traffic to Asia / SE Asia?
I assume it would need to cross either the Pacific or Atlantic ocean?
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.

1. US based.
2. Allows Proxies!
3. Unmanaged

Currently I have a websites thats pretty new, about a month or too. Anyway, the site has a forum which is the area most used, and it's quickly growing. The topic of the site is automotive.
Basically I'm looking for decent ram, about 15gb of storage (forum db, pictures, and an occasional video), and 100gb+ of bandwidth. Once things really pick up, I'll just go out and get another server for this site, at the month however I want to stick to a VPS.
So who do you guys recommend? Please don't recommend primaryVPS, as I've been with them for less then a month and my experience has been less then pleasant.
i run a forum and wiki with an average of 20-30 users 24/7, and up to 60ish at peak hours.
currently, it uses <100gb transfer per month, but it could grow.
i'm looking for a us vps that can run this quickly and smoothly, while staying under 30 usd per month.
users are mostly from the us, although there's a large percentage of eu, asia, and australian users as well.
doesn't matter if it has a control panel or not, as long as it's got lamp and shell access.
what specifications and hosts would you recommend?
I have been out of the VPS market for quite some time. Can anyone recommend recent VPS companies that have been reliable? We are in need of one just for handling our email blasts.
Any good recommendations? Budget is up to $60 / month.
I'm considering getting a 2nd VPS but offshore. I'm looking for a very good host thats been around for a few years and offers great support (maybe phone support if it's available?)
I need at LEAST 768MB guaranteed RAM (preferably 1GB), 300GB bandwidth, and cPanel/WHM all for around $40-$60 / month.
For those who have used 10G switches...which model/vendor would you recommend and why?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a Windows host using anything but Virtuozzo. Any recommendations?
View 6 Replies View Relatedwe have several sites, that have www & email hosted in separate locations. we currently have our server redirect mail out. but if the server is slow, down, or other issues, it may not re-route the MX records out.
Would a managed DNS service help? i assume this means i could route services before they hit the server.
we are using Backup backup software to backup our Linux and Windows servers. As data grows, we have now more than 4 TB in bacula files. I would like to do a offsite backup but I don't know how.
Problem is that some files are larger than 1 TB and copying all files to another drives takes a long time. Is there any backup program that copies only differences (may be few MB changed)?
1 TB file => changed 10 MB => must copy whole file.
I've been using MediaTemple's Grid-Service for a few months now, and it has proven to be very unstable at times, with frequent downtime and slow servers. I've decided to step it up to a VPS and am looking for a very reliable and fast VPS available for under $30 / month.
I've taken a look at Zone.net, VPSLink, Steadcom, JaguarPC, and Future Hosting so far, and I'm trying to figure out which one is the best choice. I'm leaning toward Zone.net, or Steadcom - but if you have any other opinions,
Long time WHT lurker and first time poster. Well I was looking for a budget VPS provider, and I saw EpicVPS.com's offers in the offers section.
I sent them an email with a few questions and I had a very satisfactory and polite response within half an hour.
So I was just wondering if anyone else here uses them and would like to let me know if I should go ahead and order with them.
What VPS Hosting company and what plan do you recommend for the use of a seedbox?
I know many of us use a VPS as a seedbox so don't deny it
Can anyone recommend me some good hosts located in the UK?
This would need to handle 2 sites for now, lots of ajax requests so a fast response is priority over diskspace. neither site gets barely any traffic now, but i haven't started promotion yet. One is a photo gallery other a store with few products.
linux/plesk with centOS preferred with something close to full management.
We are looking at taking on a higher profile customer. However I am a little off as to what type of setup should we recommend.
I have limited information but this is what I know.
Avg traffic 8 - 12 Million Hits a day. Unique Hits Unknown. Bandwidth Unknown
PHP/MySQL/Flash Movie Heavy.
TV Commercials, so needs to handle spikes without issues or without warning.
Currently what I have which won't help but kind of gives me a benchmark.
I have one customer that is on a Dual CPU Quad Core Xeon 1.6 with 8GBs RAM, a single SATA HD. This client has an avg of 1 Million hits a day, and 2.4 Million SQL calls. The load on this server runs between 0.6 and 1.8. Which tells me there is more head room for growth.
I'm about to publish a dynamic website and I need it to be as close to London as possible.
I'll probably decide to have database and website on the same server for the beginning. I was thinking 2-4Gb and not so restrictive bandwidth (500GB+?)
I'm scared of starting a plan with a server provider as I know nothing about the general offerings and the reputations of the various companies.
