CPanel Endusers/resellers .. Would You Switch To Another CP
Aug 19, 2008Just an open-ended question that's been bugging me lately. As the industry moves to a more automated approach, I was wondering if cPanel users would likely move to another CP if it was fully automated (including the migration).
Either a custom solution or H-Sphere, if it meant you had one login for all of your services/no need to contact support for anything except actual problems.
Switch And Data IPO...
Feb 9, 2007Switch And Data, a provider of network neutral data centers and colocation services, just had an IPO yesterday. They filed to sell about 1/3 of their shares priced at the high end ($17). I was wondering if anyone here had personal experience with the company, and could offer some insight on how they stack up versus Equinix and other competitors.
Switch And Data trading symbol: SDXC
Equinix trading symbol: EQIX
Equinix has been up a lot this year and has a huge market cap of 2.3Bil ($80/share), with revenues of 269Mil, gross profit 63.7Mil, net income -49Mil.
I calculated Switch And Data has around 35.9 million total shares, which puts its current market cap at around 720Mil ($20/share). I couldn't find any 2006 numbers, but in 2005 they had 105Mil revenues and -11.3Mil net income.
How comparable are these two companies? Does SDXC deserve to trade at a comparable level to EQIX? What do the experts at WHT think?
Switch And Data Venting
Aug 12, 2009Recently, we expanded our space with Switch and Data. They didn't have any cabinets physically next to our current ones, so they offered us cross-connects with an NRC only (no MRC) between our own existing space and the new. (Of course I didn't get this on the same 1-year contract as everything else.) After a few months, I noticed they've been billing us for them, so I contact our rep. Apparently she "wasn't authorized" to do that, so after some heated emails they're removing the charges to date and charging us the MRCs moving forward. It's over $7K a year for the two.
They also upped their minimum labor charge, so it now cost $175 to have them sign for a FedEx or have any other minimal amount of work done. We have an on-site employee who manages our equipment, but obviously he won't sit there waiting for UPS/FedEx a few times a month. Two instances last month there were employees on site and it cost an hour of labor for them to physically walk two packages onto the data center floor from the front office.
While installing another cross-connect recently, they knocked our patch panel just enough to disconnect a fiber. They charged us for the two hours it took to debug and rectify the issue. The on-site techs assertion was that it must have been "loose" to begin with - of course it worked fine for 6 months prior. You would think a sales person would side with you in a case like this, but they wouldn't budge.
They must be really keen on driving away customers. What really sucks is the connectivity available at their facilities is so amazing. I would brush it off as the cost of doing business if they were up front on all these things, but they aren't.

Options In Switch And Data @ 60 Hudson
May 20, 2008We are in need of some space in the Switch and Data facility located at 60 Hudson, NYC. This is not negotiable, it absolutely has to be at 60 Hudson in Switch and Data.
We don't need a full cabinet, a 1/4 cab would suffice (or even really 2U - 4U).
Can anyone recommend a company that has space in that facility that is willing to sell this small of an amount?
Comparing Switch & Data To Internap
Jul 15, 2008I'm in the final stages of bidding on a 10-rack cage, it's come between Internap and Switch & Data.
I know the good about hosting with both of them. Who can tell me the bad?
Please, don't email me telling me about your datacenter, because I'm not looking at any other providers this late in the game.
Colo In Switch And Data Or Telehouse NYC
Mar 22, 2007Here's my plan: colo servers for VoIP in either Switch and Data NYC or Telehouse NYC (or possibly Equinix Newark NJ). Purchase bandwidth from InvisibleHand.net, who can give me a direct connection of IP bandwidth from DTAG DeutscheTelecom
People say DTAG has awesome bandwidth, and I know I can get it pretty cheap from InvisibleHand.
Any comments on this plan? Which of the 3 locations is best for the price? I don't want to buy from a reseller (since they may go under). I want my colo direct from whoever owns it like Switch and Data.
SNMP Monitoring Software For Switch Ports In Your Data Center
Jan 8, 2008We currently have a OK solution to monitor and graph our client bandwidth at the switch port. It's a great product, but we have been expanding quickly and we are looking for a solution that is a bit more scalable and user friendly. Any recommendations?
Basically we want software to do the following:Monitor/log bandwidth in/out
Graph data in some way shape or form
Provide a web interface for users to login and view bandwidth usage
Scalable and cost effective
Easy to use
Windows or Linux
If you don't feel comfortable divulging what you use, just PM me. Also, we are already aware of MRTG.
Peer1 Miami
Apr 2, 2008Anyone had any experiences good or bad with Peer1 in Miami? The first concern that comes to mind is hurricanes but it's hard to find a datacenter that's not in the path of some sort of natural disaster potential.

Co-location Orlando Or Miami
Mar 4, 2007We are a small Dutch company that has a few dedicated servers in the Rotterdam datacenter. At the moment we have a VPS in the US we use as secondary DNS and backup of main site.
Because we actually own quite some servers we were thinking about the posibility to co-locate one of our own servers in the US.
We only use HP Proliant servers with iLO so we could allways manage a server remotely.
What we need is.
1. Datacenter in Orlando or Miami
2. Possibility for "hands on support" like to change a HDD or to upgrade memory (for only 1 server).
3. 1U of space and around 500GB of monthly datatransfer (we currently use only 200GB).
4. Internal cPanel license!
5. A good connection to Europe and preferably alos South America (Aruba, Curacao, Venezuela).

Peer1 Miami Sales And Setup Review
Apr 13, 2008I just moved 3 servers to colo with Peer1 in Miami. I just had 3 great years of colo with Fluidhosting so my standards are high. I wanted to buy directly from a Tier2, however, and Miami is close enough that I can access the datacenter if I need to which will be a plus.
My sales rep, Delynn, was great. Many of you are hosts and know that buying directly from Tier1's and Tier2's can be a pain in the butt because of the typical big company sales approach. You know when they refuse to give you a price and instead insist on knowing what your "budget" is... Delynn didn't do that, Peer1 has some great deals for smaller setups like 1/8th cabinets w/ 5mbps. They also gave me a month to month contract for a modest increase over the full year contract amount.
As for setup: The servers were installed within 2 hours of arriving on a Saturday. The tech gave me a call and confirmed everything was ok and that my 3 servers + unmanaged switch were doing ok on the 5 amp circuit since my servers are pretty low power usage. Their NOC is very smart and fast and available 24/7 afaik.
Important things to note: Luckily the day before my servers arrived I had an "oh @#%@" moment when I realized that I'd probably need to send them my own switch/power strip/ethernet cables. Sure enough this was the case and I overnighted a box to arrive at the same time as my servers. IMO this is a rather small caveat. It's not a big deal to send them a 50-100 dollar 100mbps unmanaged switch that's only using 0.2 amps.
So it's been "so far so good" I've been a fan of the Peer1 network since years ago when Fluidhosting used to carry them. As one would expect the Peer1 Miami pings to Europe/Asia aren't as good as the Internap routes from the northeast but I'm expecting the nearly flawless Peer1 network connectivity that I remember. I will give a network update in a few months.

What Do Server Resellers Look For
Apr 23, 2008When a dedicated server reseller is looking for a new partner, what exactly are they looking for? Is price far and away the primary factor? Are there other features/offerings that a reseller is looking for? Are there things that would prevent you from reselling for someone if they didn't offer them?
Who are currently the best server providers to resell for and why?

VPS Resellers Using VMWare
Dec 31, 2008any VPS resellers that are using VMWare ESXi as their platform for their hosting plans?
Also, if anyone is familiar with VMWare, I am curious as to what you think of these hardware specifications and how many Linux based CentOS VMs I can comfortably run on this hardware:
Processor:AMD Opteron Quad-Core 1352 Barcelona 2.1GHz
Motherboard:Tyan S2925G2NR AM2 nVidia nForce 3400 ATX n3400B
Memory/RAM:Kingston 1GB 240Pin DDR2800 ECC Unbuffered
RAID Card:Adaptec AAR-2610SA 6Port SATA 64MB RAM
Hard Drive 1:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
Hard Drive 2:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
Hard Drive 3:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
Hard Drive 4:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
There would be two RAID1's in a RAID10 configuration for the storage.
Creating Resellers Using 1and1
May 9, 2009I have a dedicated business III linux root server (CentOS + Plesk) with 1and1.co.uk and have two domains purchased through them. What I want to do is set up resellers and then the resellers can point their own external domains to their reseller packages. To test the process, this is what I have done...
In the 123-reg.co.uk control panel (where I have my own list of domains), I change the nameservers from ns/ns2.123-reg.co.uk of example.com to ns59/ns60.1and1.co.uk and then proceed to set up web forwarding to my servers IP. Now, after setting up a reseller account through Plesk, I log in and click add the domain example.com. After waiting 24+ hours, when I type in example.com, I get the 'address not found' message through my browser. Clearly something is not set up right.
The only way I can host external domains is to use the domain control panel in the 1and1 screens to transfer an external domain to my root package - not an efficient way of setting up a reseller account.
Does anybody have any guideance on where I am going wrong? Do I need to set up my own nameserver for reseller clients to point their domains to?
WHM - Re-mapping Accounts To Their Resellers
Oct 6, 2007just restored a server from an rsync backup. problem now is that i have a couple of hundred accounts all under root, when they're supposed to be resellers and sub accounts of resellers.
any idea if its just some file which contains all the mappings or do i need to go through all these hundreds of accounts and reassign them?

Nov 6, 2009with most dns being able to be handled by the domain owner through register/godaddy, etc. are resellers/hosters still finding they need to run their own name servers? or do you tell customer the IP to change their A record to? doesn't seem like running your own dns server is such a requirement like years ago was.

Sharing Of IP Addresses For Resellers
Oct 26, 2008how can I share IP with a reseller account so he can have his own private nameservers?
I WHM tweak settings, I have allowed sharing of IP for nameserver purposes.
Now whenever I try editing Privileges/Nameservers in reseller centre and adding a namserver, it tells me I am out or IP addresses?
Why is it doing it when I have checked the box for sharing of IP addresses?
Also can I simply do it by editing zone file of that reseller account and entering values manually?
Transfering Accounts (Resellers -> VPS)
Dec 29, 2008It's been a long time since I have last transfered an account between 2 servers.
I have reciently purchased a VPS using Xen as an upgrade from my resellers account. Only problem that I am having is actually transfering the accounts between the 2 servers.
I do not have root access to the resellers account and the server that it is on has tight security. I have tried using the transfer between 2 servers method on WHM however this has failed.
I have also tried the method of backing up, transfering to the other server which works fine. However I am unable to restore the full backup.
I have also tried the Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file [url] is WHM of my VPS however it is unable to find the backup files.
(SSH is also my week point when it comes to server knowledge)
Colo In HE Fremont II Resellers
Aug 31, 2007I'm considering moving my servers into Fremont II data center with HE. I have a small operation with about 7 servers, all fairly low powered. But I like the idea that it is staffed 24x7 because sometimes I screw up and lock myself out of my box and have to drive down there to fix my stupid mistakes.
I'm basically looking for 1/2 cab with 1/2 cab power (7.5 - 10 amps) - like to have up to 50mb bandwidth (currently running about 30 now). Need block of 64 IP addresses. So it's a little small to buy from HE directly.
I do web hosting email hosting and spam filtering. Nothing too controversial except occasionally the Electronic Frontier Foundation (eff.org) will ask me to host a site that other hosts were scared off by bogus legal threats. (powerpage.org is an example) So need someone who isn't scared off over a truly bogus threat.
So - I'm looking for information about HE resellers. I've seen ads for servertweak and EGIhosting and a few others and wondering about if they are any good or are there others that I should be considering. Or anything I should know about HE?
I'm especially interested if I can make a deal with someone to trade out spam filtering services for colo space. I have the best spam filtering on the planet.
