View 2 RepliesLike 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?
I normally order SFPs from MemoryDealers. I've seen their prices nearly double the past 6 months. Is there any reason behind this (component pricing) I'm not aware of?
Are there any other good third-party SFP suppliers?
we have one news site from asia which has visitors all around the world....there are two dedicated server for it for now..one in US and one in own country...
any way to make things better ,the sites things it should use Content delivery network....
Site uses php mysql(need linux) and needs around 250gb of space...
so most of the CDN site dont tend to put prices in their site....why?
and how much will this requirement cost ..?
or which can be cheapest and best CDN for it...?
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?

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.
Can you break down what kind of deal it would be in the different aspects of colocation? please fill in the following

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.
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?
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 a low maintenance customer. In 6 months my only customer support ticket was asking where remote reboots can be requested (I never have needed one). Here is my current setup:
Server 1
Dual e5440
16GB Ram
2x 500gb Sata II w/ hardware raid 1
cPanel
Server 2
Dual e5440
16GB ram
8x 36gb 15k rpm SAS w/ hardware RAID 10
Other services
4TB pooled BW
Servers connected with a cross connect.
8 IP addresses (I think)
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...
This morning I was doing some domain lookups trying to find an available yousuck.* domain, and I stumbled upon this record:
[url]
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.
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.

I looked a lot - can not find solution ....

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??
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!
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
I just want to use a server for file sharing, it will have nginx and that's it. I'm looking at centos, or freebsd, but I been using centos forever now and I'm not sure how to use freebsd, should I just stay with centos?
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.
