Dedicated Servers & Colocation - Major Players

Jun 20, 2008

I was a webhost from a while ago leasing dedicated servers and eventually went to work for the datacenter where I had my colo. For a while now I've working with a neat group of 5-6 other folks programming a new uptime monitor/geo-dispersed server load testing system/software. We were looking for possible partners to keep hosting costs down during the alpha stage of the project but while we were drawing up the papers, we saw just too much opportunity for a conflict of interest to arise and realized we couldn't realistically associate ourselves with any single company to that degree. So after a little work and fundraising, we're finally in a position to either lease some servers or colo.

Since I've been out of the loop for a while, I just want to know who the major/reliable players are when it comes to leasing or colo machines in multiple areas (ideally East, Middle, West, Canada and Europe/Asia? We would prefer to be with one company for ease of billing and have our network of monitoring stations spread out geographically. But we don't want all of our eggs in one basket so if a provider goes belly-up or decides to hike our rates 30-40% with little notice, we won't have too much to worry about.

We're watching what we spend during the alpha stage very closely, but I've been insisting we can strike the right balance between cost and reliability (connectivity).

59Box A Small Review

Apr 9, 2009

I want to make a small review of 59Box , chinese hosting company that i pleased to work with for last period.

I needed a dedicated server placed in China and started to search the web . I did a few conversations mostly on messenger with a few companies , but it was very strange for me that they sometimes even didn't knew to answer my very simple questions about upload/download speed limitation, trial period,they clients web sites for test connection etc. So i found it not so easy to find some professional loooking company with good and quick support in China.

After of few days of searching in forums i found 2 recomendations, one is for 59Box and second is for HiChina so i contacted them both.

I was amazded by very quick response from 59Box and started my conversation with them. Ken , this is the name of guy who helped me all the way , answered my questions extremely fast , and all of them was cleared . Hichina answered on the next day , also with very good and detailed mail , sample contract attached etc . But i seen no reason to try them cause Ken's proposal was good for me and I liked his support.

I paid by Paypal and my server was ready in 24 hours as promised by Ken. Since then it's running with no problems. Line is very good for my needs. Latency is good and connections is stable.

So i'll recommend this company to everybody who looking for server in china with great support and good prices.

EuroVPS Small Review

Oct 28, 2009

Just a small note from me about my experiences with EuroVPS, I transferred to them from Siteground Shared Hosting about 1 1/2 years ago, I run a fairly busy vbulletin forum, I say it's 'busy' because siteground said my site was consuming too many resources and they basically gave me 7 days to upgrade to their VPS or they said they would shut my site down, so I promptly transferred to EuroVPS.

The transfer went fairly smoothly and my site was up and running in no time at all, this whole VPS thing was totally new to me so the WHM and Plesk things etc. were like toys at xmas, albeit a bit confusing, naturally I had a few tickets in the beginning asking how this and that worked, their response time was phenomenal, I don't think I have ever had to wait longer than 15 minutes for a response. I have opened a total of 20 tickets so far.

Since then I have had the occasional ticket regarding problems and questions from my side and they have always been polite and have always solved my issues 100%. About 6 months ago there was a bit of an issue with regards to the transfer of my domain name that hadn't gone through from siteground to EuroVPS which caused my site to go down. A few tickets later and we managed to figure out what the problem was between us, believe it or not but EuroVPS actually phoned me at home to apologise for the confusion, in my opinion that is oustanding customer service and damn decent of them to go to all the trouble they went to and then still phone me.

Fantastic guys on their support team and in the Accounts department, I have nothing but praise for them, especially Sam M, Jeff D and Eugene K, thank you guys for top notch support.

Is 512 Enough RAM For A Small LAMP Setup

May 9, 2009

I'm setting up a VPS server on Slicehost, I've followed the guide on howtoforge for debian and have everything installed including ISPConfig3. Everything seems to work fine at the mo but when I check the memory usage, i see that I'm using around 490/500mb of my 512mb setup. Its a Xen setup so I understand this is real memory available but I'm not sure if this is enough.

I will ultimately be running around a dozen sites, some static and some dynamic. There's one Mambo and one Joomla site there but they don't update. The rest are all php/mysql sites that I've built myself but again, they don't change that much. None of the sites currently see more than a couple hundred uniques a day, and some only a handful, so usage is not high. Most of the domains have e-mail accounts attached, but its only moderate usage with around a dozen addys per domain max.

So, do I need more memory or will 512 be enough? Is there anything I can do to reduce the load and give myself some more room?

I'm moving from a shared hosting environment and while I'm comfortable setting up the server, I would rather have a simple mail manager that would give users more control over their accounts, change passwords etc, which I'm hoping ISPConfig3 will be able to help with, but thats probably best discussed in another post.

Small Business Web Hosting

Jul 18, 2008

I just joined this forum because I want to let as many people as possible know about a horrible experience that I had with my last small business web hosting company: LogicWeb.

Then I would love to hear other people's horror stories about companies they hate and praises about companies they like.

Let me just say that I had originally signed up with another company that was bought by LogicWeb. I had their VPS package and the biggest problem was the customer service which used to be good under the other company. Run into a little problem, send them an email and have to wait three days for a response. A response that generally said something like "we don't cover that."

So, anyhow, I found another small business web hosting company and then tried to cancel with LogicWeb. Sent them email after email and I was still getting billed. Finally, I found their cancellation form buried on their site and submitted a cancellation with a note stating that I had sent several emails trying to cancel.

A couple of weeks later, I get another bill in my email box so I decide to call them up. I'm on the phone with a guy and tell him that I have been trying to cancel for three months and the first thing he says is, "I don't think you're being honest."

"What?" I say not believing that that could be the first thing he says to me. "I think you're lying."

"Well, I'm not lying and I resent this conversation so far."

"Well, you are lying. It's only been two months since you stopped using our system."

"So, because I'm off by one month, you call me a liar?"

"Yes, because liars lie!"

I couldn't believe it! I couldn't believe that any small business web hosting service would call their client a liar even if they were lying. So, I made a mistake and got pissed and cursed!

"I can't believe you're calling me a ****ing liar! I've never ever been called a liar before. Let me speak to your supervisor!"

"Well, I'm the owner and I'm recording this conversation and if you're going to use foul language with me then I'll just report you to my collections department!"

I say, "Let me get this straight. You say that I'm lying and call me a liar, something no business person should ever do to a client, and just because I say '****ing' because I'm insulted, you're pissed at me? Well, if you are going to hang up on me then let me just finish with this... you are a ****ing *******!"

I don't know how much worse a business owner can act with a customer and I highly recommend avoiding LogicWeb since they are the worst small business web hosting around.

Seeking Premium VPS ($50 - $70 Small Pkg)

Sep 10, 2008

if you know any premium VPS hosts.

Their price on the *Smallest Package* must be around $50 - $70.

I will not consider any companies that carry $20.00 VPS packages.

I want a rock solid VPS.

No Mickey Mouse, Dollar hosting for me.

What I want:

Linux,
C-panel or Hsphere
Fantastic - not important
Disk space - not important (finding a good host is more important. I can always buy more disk space)

Small Business Hosting ...

Feb 2, 2008

It is looking like I am going to have to leave IX hosting. They have a bandwidth problem on my shared server that they cannot seem to solve. I am experiencing slow loading & slow interactive features. Ping times can exceed 500ms during peak hours EST. I have run tracerts that show them specifically that the bottleneck is between thier server and quest-comm and they still cant seem to get a handle on it. This has been going on for a month and I have given them till tuesday.

So, this leaves me to prepare to move my clients' sites UGH! My parameters are somewhat unique which makes it a little tougher to pick a new host. My clients sites are all small local business sites ranging from 5 to 60 pages. I need very little storage space and I use very little bandwidth. However, I do need unlimited domains, ASP support and I really like IX's web shell feature. I will also be doing some e-commerce in the near futures.

I am spending a paltry 7.95 per month with IX. I may spend as much as $20 per month for the right service. Beyond my afformentioned specific requirments, I want a host that is established, proven reliable, in the states, has their own real bricks and mortar facility and a stellar reputation with the experienced web guys.

I have contacted a few that I have seen mentioned here but many dont support ASP and many require a dedicated server deal to host unlimited domains, which of course, is outside my cost requirements.

Small Companies Far Datacenters

How do small companies deal with data centers and their equipment being 1000-2000 miles away?

NYC puts the costs of cabinet and power at almost twice as much in comparison to the west coast and south.

For small businesses, is it worth to spend that extra to get a cab in NYC and be able to manage their clients hardware directly or have a cabinet far away and depend on the on site techs to take care of all hardware related issues and save spending that extra that is put on cabinet and power?

VPS Right For A Small Webdev Company

Jul 11, 2008

I'm starting a small company which will do custom web development and hosting. Right now we have appr 10 clients with no heavy traffic.

I've been thinking about buying a VPS for the hosting of these sites, in order to have more control over the server, instead of using a shared hosting, but i'm wondering if VPS is overkill.

Hopefully we'll get more customers and need more space and bandwidth as time goes by...

A Small Review Of Various VPS Providers I Have Tried

Oct 18, 2007

Here is my mini review of the various hosting providers I have tried in the past 3 months.

1. vpsfarm.com

A. Setup: Instant. The server was setup in about 3 mins after I paid.

B. Stability: Excellent. I tried various operating systems from their control panel. Not a single issue. The server was very stable. The control panel was also very stable.

C. Support: I am a self made server admin and as such, I do not need much support. The few support tickets I sent were answered to the point and promptly by Selvaraj and his crew. They really know their technical stuff to keep the whole setup running smoothly. Excellent.

D. Speed: The server speed was fast and the site loaded fast. No problems.

Rating: Excellent.

2. jpstream.net

A. Setup: The account [a shared hosting acct] was setup in 18 hrs after I paid.

B. Stability: Excellent. The control panel [plesk] is very stable and the server ran smoothly.

myipneighbors.com showed 110 other sites on the same server but my site loaded fast. Mysql performance was also good. That probably indicates that the server was not overloaded.

C. Support: Fair. Support tickets took a while to be answered. The time varied from anything between an hour to a max of 8 hrs.
The responses were mostly to the point but in a few cases indicated that they replied without reading my ticket fully.

d. D. Speed: The server speed was fast and the site loaded fast. No problems.

However, the greatest annoyance: Their email setup does NOT allow mails from free email services to be received. All mails from gmail, hotmail, yahoo and rediff are blocked.

Support did NOT want to fix that.

Rating: Bad. Many people have free email addresses and blocking emails from such people is nonsense. Also, I cancelled with them but till now I have not recd a refund. Bad.

3. Zone.net

A. Setup: The server was setup in about 2 hours after I paid.

B. Stability: Excellent. Not a single issue. The server is very stable. The control panel is also very stable.

C. Support: I am a self made server admin and as such, I do not need much support. The few support tickets I sent were answered to the point and promptly. These people are also very good technically to keep their servers running very smoothly. Excellent.

D. Speed: The server speed was fast and the site loaded fast. No problems.

Rating: Excellent.

4. xeneurope.co.uk

A. Setup: The server was setup in about 15 mins after I paid. Infact Adam did a cutom plan for me.

B. Stability: The HyperVM is unstable. Diskspace and memory display on the control panel are totally incorrect and misleading.

The Ubuntu template crashed the server after a day, while the opensuse and debian templates have a big problem - after you install, you cannot ssh into the system.

C. Support: I am a self made server admin and as such, I do not need much support. The few support tickets I sent were answered to the point and promptly. Adam and Chris did fix the debian template temporarily for me. However the problem with HyperVM being misleading and unstable is a big turn off for me.

Here is my latest email from HyperVM:

----------------------------------------------

Warning: The Account michael is using 100% of quota for realmem_usage.
Limit: 640
Used: 640

Warning: The Account michael is using 100% of quota for swap_usage.
Limit: 512
Used: 512
-----------------------------------

Here is my latest email to Adam:

-----------------------------------------

Hi Support,

The HyperVM info is thoroughly misleading:

S Resource Used Max Graph
Disk 1.01 GB 29.3 GB
Mem NA 640 MB
Backup 0 Unlimited
Traffic 312.53 MB 341.8 GB
Ip 1 1
Traffic 0 MB -

The actual disk space usage is:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 29G 561M 27G 3% /
none 321M 0 321M 0% /dev/shm
[root@host ~]#

The actual memory usage is:

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 640 38 601 0 4 14
-/+ buffers/cache: 19 620
Swap: 512 0 512


I am sorry to say, I do not like this one bit.

Please move me to a different HyperVM system which functions stable and without any problem with the statistics as well as without conking out on various OS templates.

I have used Xen before and never had a problem until now.

Please let me know when you can give me a stable Xen system without problems.

Thanks,
Michael.
-------------------------------------------

I am awaiting a reply from Adam.

D. Speed: The server speed is fast. No problems, when the server works but the ubuntu crash along with all these problems is not good.

Rating: I am not rating this yet.

I do hope Adam will put me on a different server where everything functions fast, stable and without any problems.
----------------------------------------------------------

Here is my question to all the experts at WHT:

Is it true that if I have my server in the US, the govt and the FBI can put a backdoor into the server and see through info when they feel like it?

This is what I heard from a friend of mine. I am NOT trolling but when I heard this, I was quite upset. This is what made me seek a server outside the US.

Please let me know if this is true or this is bull, so that I can keep myself informed that this is just crap.

Vpsfarm and zone.net, please keep up your excellent service. I may come back and get other servers from you. JP stream please fix the email problem and you will be no 1 in Japan. Adam, your xen setup needs to be more stable. Please fix this.

The domain in question is technichristian [dot] net. The web server is not yet installed. I am waiting for Adam to fix the problems first.

Small LAMP VPS For Primary DNS Server

May 21, 2009

Because of the security issues inherent in controlling DNS servers on other VPS/servers that run other processes, host websites and store mission-critical data and for other reasons related to control, we want to keep our DNS server separate from our other servers and our own desktops. Therefore, we're going to get a small VPS for this purpose.

We won't totally cheap out on this so we'll be getting a quality VPS from a good provider. But, we probably don't need more than 5 or 10G of HD space but we wonder how much RAM and bandwidth we need to run something like MyDNS with MyDNSConfig with a MySQL backend.

Also, what's the best Linux distro for this kind of thing? We use CentOS with facility but are not afraid to try a new one if it's a better choice for this purpose.

FTP Timing Out When Uploading Small Files

Jul 20, 2009

There is a behavour with my server FTP when uploading a whole directory with many files in many sub-directories

Very often, the server disconnect itself when actively uploading files and the log simply says 'timeout'

It is as if the file got 'stuck' half way, and the FTP consider them as idle, therefore it disconnect you with a 'timeout' before reconnecting you.

But i have no problem uploading a single 200mb file to the server via FTP. I suppose no problem with 'keep alive'

So what is this behavior and how to solve it?

Small Datacenters Not Replying To Emails

Jul 2, 2009

I've just got to rant for a minute. Over the past week I've e-mailed around 15 datacenters asking for quotes. Out of those 15 datacenters, I've received 6 answers.

Granted, these aren't huge datacenters like The Planet and Gigenet that I'm contacting here, but come on... I'm not going to name names, but seriously, if you smaller datacenters want any business you might want to start replying to sales e-mails. This is just getting annoying. Why would anyone waste their time with you if you can't even answer an e-mail or phone call or PM?

All of my e-mails went out to datacenters that have posted in the offers section of WHT in the past 30 days.

Small Business Server Will Not Boot

Oct 1, 2008

I have set up Windows Small Business Server 2003 and was testing it over the past week. Everything has been going well and yesterday it requested to install an update (not to sure what it was now) and soon after the update was installed a restart was required.

After the server shutdown and tried to restart the system will not restart.

The machine powers up and then I am faced with a blank black screen (no load bar nothing). The monitor led light flashes from green to orange then to a static green light after the Dell splash screen.

I can load up into safe mode although I do not know how to work out what is wrong. I am guessing the update has caused the issue, possibly a boot sector needs repairing. There are no new additions to control panel -> install/remove programs which i believe is where all updates can be uninstalled from.
