Which Is Better For Colo/NOC/DC US Or Canada?

May 29, 2008

I have a web hosting business that has been growing constantly for a couple of years, now I think it's time to move on and instead of leasing servers start with colocation and operating my own hardware, I'm in Mexico and there are no good deals here as there are in other countries, so I have several questions about your appreciation of where things are better for business, US or Canada:

Where is colo cheaper?
Where is hardware cheaper?
Where is personnel less costly?
Where is personnel better qualified?
Where is office space cheaper?
Where is electrical energy cheaper?
Where are more investment opportunities?
Where are taxes lower?
Where is living less costly?

I've been researching these on my own but still have several doubts, may be you find some of this question obvious however I'd still like to know your appreciation.

Take A Colo Package Or Colo In A Carrier Hotel With Your Own Network

Dec 16, 2007

Please give me the difference. Colo in carrier hotel, we can choose our preferred network provider, but should we do that if we cannot have our own tech in datacenter? How about the supporting service from carrier hotel? Just general question, cause I dont address exactly which facility.

And the second would be more expensive? Saying the same number of rack, amount of bandwidth... Who is providing IP addresses then?

Toronto Canada Recommendations

Nov 12, 2008

Toronto Canada recommendations

I'm about at my end of dealing with Toronto providers but before we pull the plug on our T.O location, I figured I'd request a couple more recommendations.www.servertag.com - Used them in the past and had some issues with downtime / response times. Would rather not use them again.www.upscalehost.com - Amazing Toronto host but they're killing us by charging 95th percentile.

We're after a standard dedicated box (not celeron) with 1500-2000GB monthly limit.
Know of a company? Maybe a neighbour with a rack in 151?

Canadian And All Hardware In Canada

May 10, 2008

I have been happy at site5. Due to the Patriot Act, the stricter Canadian PIPEDA law, and my Canadian residency, I am looking for a comparable Canadian host.

I have a number of domains. My research has not revealed any Canadian hosts that offer something comparable to the convenience of Site5's MultiSite. Looks like to operate multiple domains under a single account in Canada the administration is via subdomains or domain pointers rather than what MultiSite does. Is anyone aware of a Canadian host that offers MultiSite like functionality.

The company and all of its hardware must be in Canada so the data does not become subject to the laws of other jurisdictions.

BT Business Web Hosting - Servers In Canada

Oct 24, 2008

I am developing a website for a client, whose web host is BT Business Broadband. I had noticed that the FTP connection to their server was a but slow, and the http connection was not as fast as my reseller account here. I also noticed something else funny....

I have simple PHP script that greets users according to the time of day. It was saying Good Morning, when it is the afternoon. To test, I uploaded another script to output the current time of the server. It was 5 hours out!

I contacted BT to ask them why the time was wrong, and they said that it's because the server is not located in the UK, the company that manages the server is located in Canada!

Frankly I am dissapointed with BT and feel slightly ripped off on behalf of the client.

They pay them enough money to expect a fast service, and to have the server located in the same country, let alone the same continent! This also will affect their search engine results, as it is hosted on a foreign IP address.

Has anyone else heard about this about BT before?

Remote Backup- Security In Canada / Usa

May 7, 2008

I was thinking of starting service provider of online backup service located in USA the data is stored in a vault (off site server)

Data replicated to another server at a another location.

Critical data is 128-bit encrypted, compressed, and then uploaded to a REMOTE server hosted by my company via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with enhanced security.

The client chooses what kind of encryption they want to use and they choose their Password (I don't have access to this info)
With out their password they can NOT restore their information back
Lose the password and the Data can not be restored its loss
I have no idea what the passwords are.

Now all the info will be stored on this server

The question that comes to mind if the USA Government wanted to look for any information located in this storage server

Can they force the clients to give them access to this data ?

Talking to someone at storage pipe.com

He was saying that in Canada this info is protected and can not accessed by law

He was saying a lot of company's because of this are looking for off site storage in Canada because of this issue.

So from what I can understand if the storage server is located in the USA if the Government wants to look at the files they will force the clients to provide them access to these fies
either by asking or by court order

But in Canada this not an option the files are protected by Law
Now a lawyer I am not be it seems that if the company has nothing to hide it will not be and issue.

But like I said I have no idea what people or company's are backing up.

It can be anything!

All I do is store the backup data.
All I know is the amount(size) of Data stored on the server.

The last thing I need is people banging on my door asking me to access these files.

Now if I had my server located in Canada they would be protected by law.?

How Can You Ping A Domain To Find If It's Hosted In Canada

Can You Recommend A Reputable HONEST Webhost In Vancouver, BC, Canada

Sep 8, 2008

I'm a very small home-based start-up business that currently is having huge amounts of trouble with a webhost here in Vancouver. This webhost has been named recently on WHT as one to avoid. I never had a problem with them the whole 2 years that I only had a poster uploaded to this host. But as soon as I uploaded my first version of my site to this host, the problems came fast and furious. First it was not being able to log into the webmail to view any emails (which it should be known, I had only some test emails from my website forms). Then as of August 27, my site disappeared. I opened tickets. They closed them, saying problem solved. Problem was obviously not solved as I couldn't log onto Plesk, nor was my website visible to the world!

I didn't realize that website hosting was an unscrupulous business. Sigh. I've learned the hard way. I had paid a year in advance (in fact, think I was double billed to boot!). My .ca domain remains there currently as I search for a new webhost. I am loathe to mention the company although I'm sure a few can guess as I would like to recoup my domain as I have currently paid for advertising pointing to my website. All phone calls went unheeded (call centres in the US and elsewhere, even though these trained monkeys are told to say Vancouver).

Anyway, I have been lurking and reading and have been doing my due diligence; however, most reputable companies seem to be located back East. I have noted from all your posts that it would be better to have the data centre nearby.

I would like to support Canada; and in particular, Vancouver. Uptime and having a visible site is paramount to me...as is REAL technical support. I am not web-hosting savvy and I do not want to be taken advantage of again. I am interested in a shared web-hosting plan (I don't have any e-commerce or streaming video or any special needs...at the moment. My site isn't huge, but I can't check how much bandwidth or anything that I used because I can't log on...pretty minimal though).

I created my site from a Windows platform. Does this mean I need a Windows shared hosting plan?

Can anyone out there recommend a reputable HONEST Vancouver-based, Vancouver data centred webhost with very good technical support and excellent uptime?

Webserve Canada (webserve.ca)

Jul 16, 2008

Our company have a number of shared hosting accounts with Webserve Canada.

One of them went down for more than 24 hours now. Since yesterday I've been sending them tech support emails with no answer.

Their online Live Support always sends me to a form, which I used to do the same thing..with no answer.

Today..for few minutes, all of our websites went down..then back up again!

Anyone here from Webserve, or even a customer of Webserve who knows what's going on there?

is this a common practice when a hosting company of this size has a technical problem? I thin the first thing is to even hire someone who just answers live chat and says something ..

Colo- 1U Vs Amp

Mar 29, 2008

I've been out of the game for a while and now looking at colo prices each server is only allocated 0.5a on most plans.

I was looking at purchasing a 1u HP DL160 dual quad core system with at least dual sata raided drives

My question is what kind of amps would a system like this pull? and how much do data centers typically charge for that additional power if it needed over the .5

My budget is ~$100, I'm fairly sure it can be done as I saw FDC had one for $79, and it would be fine though I was hoping if anyone knew any others.

Also, Giga-International has what I need, are they reliable?
