does anybody has experience with cobalt raq dedicated server? is it reliable? could it handle 100 gig / month data transfer?

pin.

Well, it really depends. I know of a RaQ that pushes 100GB/mo. The web site does not use CGI at all, but the forum (UBB, if you are familiar with it) runs VERY often.

Errr ... whoops. I meant the actual web site does not use CGI. The only thing that uses CGI is the forum (UBB). Sorry about that. :)

I believe there was one or two times where it got so fed up that it simply crashed. Although a simple reboot brought it right back up.

So the question is, are you going to be running intensive CGI with that 100GB/mo?

How do you run a forum without CGI?

It's called forum imagine, a new type available I beleive :D

LOL Greg :D.

I saw that and wanted to ask the very same question. I thought maybe UBB switched to PHP or something.

I have Spoken to VDI and they do support and have a couple of cobalt raq's there, I also can get them for slightly less then what's published on there web site as well.

We have a customer that was on a raq2 that was serving 700 gb of traffic a month on it with 128mb of ram. It can be done, and it wasnt slowing down either, but it was only one website. We have never had any problems with the raq's at all, they are very robust. I have even seen a customer get his cpu load up to 245 which should have killed the machine but the cobalt just sat there and chewed away at the processes one by one until it was done - We cant recommend them enough!
