The Special Plan 1- Limited Time Offer looks like a very good offer for 6 months

:p

i thought so too

inteltechs...

why would you say that ?? i have tons of servers sold right from webhost talk members and nobody is dissatisfied yet. Give it a try and you'll see its definitly not too good to be true.

Hmmmm

Dedicated 2400 + AMD CPU - $59.95/mth
1024 MB DDR Ram
Maxtor 80 GB Hard Drive Space
Free Ensim Pro Panel ( Cpanel extra $25.00 per month)


with 500 gigs

$59.95. /mth for the first 6 months--- $149.95 after

I may just try it out and see how it is.

mississa, what does your network look like? Additionally, free IP's were mentioned. What is the max amount that can be allocated per server?

Are your servers monitored 24/7 by onsite techs? I noticed hours from 9-5, but if there was a need for a hard reboot after that time, I would be interested in what would be done and reponse times.

inteltechs, being a competitor of theirs now that you offer dedicated servers, I don't think it is appropriate for you to bash them by saying "too good to be true"

And no, I am not a client or employee, I just cannot stand a company flat out putting down a competitor. I have never been a client of theirs so I cannot comment on their service...and neither should you.

Let their clients speak...those who will not gain anything by trying to make a competitor look bad.

$59.95. /mth for the first 6 months--- $149.95 after

seems like a decent price for $150 after the first 6 months...sounds like a marketing thing to get ppl in.

coach ..

mississa, what does your network look like?

- We have a 100Mbit line running dark fiber to toronto's main carrier hotel ( 151 front street )

Additionally, free IP's were mentioned. What is the max amount that can be allocated per server?

- There is no limit really and we don't charge but we do request that you use 95% of them for domains or we can't provide more. Once you use them we will give you more however you desire it.

Are your servers monitored 24/7 by onsite techs? I noticed hours from 9-5, but if there was a need for a hard reboot after that time, I would be interested in what would be done and reponse times.

- Well we don't monitor clients servers only ours however if you find your server down all you have to do is send an e-mail that we have designated for reboots and such things and within minutes every admin on file will get paged with the problem and everyone will be aware of the issue. Any of us can handle the issues @ hand and one of us is always available and on call to deal with any issues that arrise within 5 or 10 min.

Furthermore we have a emergency line that you can call and speak to a live representative 24/7.

savageghost ... . thank you .. I don't want to be mean and everyone has a right to their openion however i belive he should try the service and I can almost asure him and anyone else they will not be dissapointed. We are constantly putting up dedicated servers and to my recognition there has not been one cancelation in months asside from companies that go out of business of course.

Gideox ... yup, it is a marketing strattegy because we want to use up alot of bandwidth that we dont use right now. We have 100Mbit line with premium bandwidth and if you try pinging you will see our network is very fast and reliable. WE are only using about 30 - 40 % of bandwidth right now so we figure we would just give it away and hope for the best ( it doesn't cost us much more so we are passing our savings on to the clients ) . This way it will help both our company and the people who would like a less expensive service but still getting equal or better service as some of the more expensive competitors.

Let us know if you have any other questions

OH i mentioned ping ip sorry we block pings to our site and stuff but here is an ip you can check and download speed for all of you who want more info. You can also check out the dedicated server advertising which is were we post all our deals :)

Test ip = 64.141.96.24

Test download Speed ... >

http://64.141.96.24/ensim

I'd be interested too if you get your network problems fixed. I've tried downloading that test file during various times in the day from different locations in the US. From my DSL in Califronia, I get around 60-100k/sec. From Rackshack, I get about 40k/sec. And from FDC Cogent (which does about 1.5megs to RS) I get 40k/sec. How saturated is your line currently? Or is the routing messed up? Because I can never get any good speeds downloading that file.

Same here SolidJoe. My numbers are dead on yours.

Thanks for the information mississa. Yes, any IP's requested would be per arin guidelines of course. One thing I'm wanting clarified though is, I think you're saying that it isn't monitored on site after hours, however problems will page an admin, so if I needed a reboot at 3 in the morning, I could expect that to be done in five to ten minutes? I'm not referring to a remote reboot because that's something I could do from the command line. I'm talking about a completely dead box that is unreachable via SSH.

Hum.. not sure .. our line is only right now at this very second 20 % used and it doesn't usually go past 35 to 40 % .. almost never .. Not sure why this is occuring.. let me test it from NJ to Toronto

coach .. yes, we can hard reboot a box in 5 or 10 min time. we have people @ the noc all the time however they don't answer the telephones.

Can someone give me an ip where it goes 40Kb/s so i can test the circuit and also give me a download link for me to test download speeds. I want to see if there is infact a problem and if so i want to get it fixed for better performance.

Thank you for your input of course :)

The 40 KB/s is coming from 216.40.242.78. It's blocked at the firewall for pings and trace routes though.

Test file located at http://square-network.com/site/MargaretteEvansTrack03.mp3

The 100 KB/s is coming from Bellsouth DSL. Normal download speeds are around 180 KB/s.

Sorry but i can't check the above ip 216.40.242.78 cause of the blocks. Any other ip i can traceback to and find out where the week point it ?

can you please do a trace route and post it from that ip to the test ip i gave you.. that might give me a better idea where i will fix the problem

EDIT: double post. Board froze up on me.

mississa, go ahead and try that IP now. I took down the firewall and it's accessible for the moment. Let me know when you've checked it so I can bring it back up.

As you can see, I'm coming from verio to yours. I don't see any problems either. I tried the test file again and got the same results. Pretty steady between 35 Kb/s and 50.

Odd. I'll check back again tomorrow. :)

cool... i'll have something for you tomorrow.. for sure.. im going to do some testing of my own :) i'll let you guys know if i come up with something.. i sure hope so .. i would love to improve everyons speeds.

Hey maybe its the server it is on.. let me get that out of the way. Can someone try this download speed :

http://www.sandro.ca/test/jerky.mp3

I would not host anything on shaw cable.... heh
ive seen about 5 companies owned by the same guy running on cable modems

We dont run on cable.. we run on a complete fiber network . The network backbone is owned by shaw networks. We have one of the most reliable networks in canada right now and shaw has backed us up all the way and we thank them for the continued amazing quality service.

That jerky.mp3 is MUCH better. Getting 900-1000k/sec from FDC Cogent, about the same from Rackshack.

OK so its a server problem. I will find out why its doing that and get back to you.. again sorry for all the trouble :)

Mississa,

I was considering couple of your offers, but I was discouraged with some reviews, can you please explain these things:

http://www.webhostingratings.com/plans/Canaca_com.html

I've also noticed you carry a lot of Adult materials/servers , how is the network setup for dedicated/colocated servers to accommodate that ?

Thanks, Tamouh

Sorry mississa, I did not intend to bash your company or anything. Your prices are just incrediable, I may give it a try.

Maybe a good lesson in this, don't post under the influence.

Ok guys i figured out the problem why the speed was slow. It turns out the network card on one server was not properly configured thus resulting in this issue. The network card was not set to full duplex. I dont know why but it wasn't but anyhow the server is fixed and the speed is back to normal. Pleas let us know if you encounter any more problems.

The link is : http://64.141.96.24/ensim

Much better, that one is now around 900k/sec too.

I currently have a server with them and am very happy, great price, fast server and they seem to call me whenever there is a problem...I recomend

Indeed, that one looked much better.

Im editing my post as I may have been wrong and viewing a cache.

I did open a support ticket to test the response time/support



http://canaca.com/contact/upload/viewmain.php?ticketid=QQD-58014&ticketkey=a86053

Just out of curiousity, you mentioned in your ticket that you can't access your server and it doesn't respond to ping and then they respond "Site seems to be comming up just fine. Please let us know."

How did they know what site and what server? Was that information asked for in the ticket?

No idea I thought that was funny to.


When I submitted the ticket I had to register and enter my url my guess is they were referring to that.

Marc posted his url and that is what support tested

lol.. now I can see why the tech took a while to answer your support ticket. You entered a site that was on another server not even owned by them and the tech probably clicked on it and at this point didn't know whether to mock you or answer your question seriously. :D j/k

I have to give the company credit just for answering the ticket. ;)

Actually I think it was a cache problem on my part. 2 hours I think i selected medium/low importance and with the late night time zone for them I will give them a good response time =)

I am satisfied with the support repsonse, My main objective was to check the time it took.
