Hello People !

I need colocated services.
And low prices, low then 1$ per Gb. or low then 200$ per Mbps. Email me on webmaster@xxxrelax.com or ICQ - 110330 If you know where may buy this services. I may send mone by Bank Wire Transfer. In first month I plan use 300 Gb or 1 Mbps, second month will be 2 - 5 Mbps or 600 - 1.500 Gb monthly.

Thanks,
Dmitry

Dmitry,

That is a tremendous amount of high-bandwidth traffic that you want to pay a small amount for, your best bet may be to find an adult site-oriented provider.

Porn sites generate that kind of heavy traffic and providers who specialize in handling them buy their bandwidth in bulk, are on networks set up to handle those kind of loads, and should be able to give you a better price-although I'm not sure anyone can give you 1500GB/month at $1 per GB or 5Mbps at $200/Mbps.

That is some cheap bandwidth, .70/GB over 1000GB. Sounds a little bit on the too good to be true side, but might be just the ticket for Dmitry's needs-provided he's only got a 1u server, because that seems to be their only 'catch'.

I agree with Phoenix. $210 mbps is probably close to cost for most hosts not including the cost for rackspace those guys are paying. We have OC-12 with ATT and a redundant one with another tier1 and our COST is not substantially less than that. Unless they are using cogents DWDM solution (no real peering though from what I have read).

Just a little side note ezpzhosting. HQ in the UK, NOC in New Jersey, and the only whois info is tech contact in Inglewood California. Kind of makes you think don't it?

Read up on service level agreements first Dmitry before you sign anything. Highly doubtful there are ezpz techs in that NOC 24/7 (but I have been wrong before).

I will send you a quote also for colocated only as I beleive I have already sent you a quote for dedicated servers about a month ago.

As my Grandfather used to say "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is."

Just out of curiosity, how much *does* bandwidth cost wholesale? Looking at this (http://www.ipservices.att.com/products/product.cfm?productid=mis&disp=pricing) it looks like an OC12 from AT&T costs at least $326/mbps; I can't see any price lists from any other tier 1s to compare this with.

Cperciva bandwidth costs are based on tons of different things but are usually geared on volume, quality, peering and total capacity of the network.

Volume:
Obviously if you are buying say a partial DS-3 or even a dedicated one you are going to pay more than an OC-3/OC-12.

Quality:
UUnet/Worldcom (why cbaker is paying what he does like us), ATT, Broadwing, XO and a few others are top rated bandwidth with low latency, packetloss, good peering agreements to name a few factors. Those carriers know they have a good product/service and charge accordingly. Check www.miq.net to see.

Peering:
Someone will have to insert comments here as I am not familiar enough to have an expert opinion on it.

To answer your question at an OC-12 level for pricing I have seen offers as low as Yipes for $10 a mbps (these companies are not in the business of selling to ISP's from what I have read as they use dwdm and are geared for telco hotel market/business). Mid to low level ISP bandwidth from companies like for less than $200 mbps. High quality bandwidth for around $300 per mbps.

The reason you see people selling for less than those prices is typically not all their users use the bandwidth that they purchase. I saw one post of a guy who buys 100 GB and only uses 10. Overselling seems to be pretty common for quite a few companies. It is also why my company and many others will not touch those prices and charge by the GB used and not by selling blocks that are prepaid. Basically just boils down to marketing.

I hope that helped. My opinions and comments are just that, mine not VSNI's. More opinions on this would be great as I do not espouse to *know it all*

One thing I did forget is that Yipes and Cogent do not allow adult traffic on their networks. Just a heads up.

not only Yipes and Cogent , there are other providers that don't allow adult traffic on their networks. I know for sure that SB will cout your service if you try to have adult traffic( at least that what they told us)
