well the long awaited bandwidth mystery has been corrected! as most of you are aware we use Cobalt Raq's for shared webhosting, the stats on the raq's are not an accurate measuring tool for bandwidth used. as of today all shared webhosting clients will receive an e-mail explaining to them how to obtain their accurate bandwidth usage, which will be emailed to them through our systems.

I'm also running a contest from now until the end of August giving away a free 2 yr hosting account every day check out www.tera-byte.com for details

starting friday we will have new dedicated and colocation plans that will allow people to host their servers for as little as 2.50 a gig used with no other charges at all !
so you use 10 gigs of bandwidth in a month and your colocated server is going to cost you a total of 25.00 and nothing more. (im pretty proud of this one :) )


Steve

ahhhh...cool!

hey steve, my site's been using a lot less bandwidth now right? :D

Steve,

Today's friday... found not mention of it on your site.

uhh...tera-byte doesn't offer unlimited email accounts and webspace

yet another week and still nothing
<want ads>
"wanted new webmaster that actually does what i request"
</want ads>
here are my excuses
- i was away all week so i didnt get a chance to jump on him
- it was end of the month so billings took top priority so no one else jumped on him
- that sillly telnet exploit means he updated pages, but to update twice in the same week he probably thought i would expect to much in the future :)

lol... Oh well, I was just curious to see them, no hurry.

Just don't hurt him to bad when you do get the chance to jump on him, it may take ya awhile to find another webmaster.

The offer appears to be for dedicated and colo servers only, not the shared hosting services.

Keeg.. just out of asking, how long before the new
plan will take affect?

(or will it take affect after it has been put online)?

its in effect now its just that no one can order it :) i just found out this morning my webmaster is on holidays this week (nice of him to tell me ) so as im writing this email im changing the pages to reflect the new plans (i am not an html guy though so no complaining about how poor of a job i did :) i called it plan b i hope its clear enough


Steve

You always has cool offers. What if a guy co-lo 80GB of bandwidth which cost him 200$ a month then request to migrate that server to the Shared Colocation 199$ a month plan ?

If the cost is 2.50 a gig what is the charge if someone just leaves a 1u server in your facility under this plan as a backup should their primary webserver somewhere else fail. If the transfer is not even 1 gig what would the cost be. Surely there is a minimum cost built into this pricing plan.

Whatever happened to this offer?

It still is not mentioned anywhere on the Tera-byte.com site!!!!!!!!!

Yes it is. It's been on http://www.tera-byte.com/ded.html for a week.

CJB or Keeg,

Do you know when you're gonna have pics of your noc up? I've been waiting since you released your new site design.

:puke: Tera-Byte's Webmaster :laugh:


Click, Plugin, Upload - it's as easy as 1-2-3!

:D Please! :D

Oh yes I see it........!

But I think the Rack Charge of $100 is too much ^-^

Simply send a 1U server. The case will cost you around $250-350 but you won't have to pay rack charge so it will pay for itself in no time.

That's what I am doing.

Cedric

Yes indeed: when are we going to see the photos of the new NOC up on the web site?

Great offer BTW.

Simply send a 1U server. The case will cost you around $250-350 but you won't have to pay rack charge so it will pay for itself in no time.



What case? Where can you find the $250-$350 for the case on their website?

I would love to buy a rack and case from them and have them host it for me!

Hmm,

May be you can have them build a 1U server for you. You should ask.

Personnaly, I build my server myself, so I bought the case at a specialized retailer...


Cedric

The prices on the site list a $100 mo. Rack charge.
Is this correct?

Yes, there is a $100 monthly rack charge; however, if you supply a 1U server, this fee is waived. As quoted from the web site:

Please note: the Rack Charge is for standard "PC" size computers. If you supply a 1U server, there is no rack charge.

that statement is incorrect, there are no rack charges for servers of any size (1 to 8 u anything larger being sent to me i wont host it ) on that plan (plan b) thats what i originally had up but someone thought i had typo'ed and changed it. it wil be corrected soon

Steve

Keeg, how much will you charge for a Raq4 w/256 ram (I want to buy the server) to be colocated at your facility?

Is the tower / mini-tower PC case categorized in 1-8U?

mannylucio your better off to buy from cobalt and send it than buying from me, your price would be better with them. or choose a supplier of cobalt gear close to us (solunet comes to mind)


Jakis yes those would be 1 to 8u if you take a regular mid tower case and measure it across the front (about 6.5 inches ussually) thats about 4u

Steve

Can you tell me other suppliers of cobalt gear close to you besides solunet.


Thanks

So with this plan B a server can just sit there as a backup using <1 gig a month for $2.50 a month?

Here's the question I'm (and everyone else it seems) wants a definate answer to: :)

If I send you a mini-tower and use 10 gigs of transfer a month, then all it would cost me would be USD$25/month. There is no setup fee-per se, but only a deposit which is applied to future charges. If the server gets almost no traffic, then there would be no fee at all (or only $2.50). Is this correct?

Thanks,
Owen

. tryed to delete, couldnt

NM I found what i was looking for;)

Telemetry, do you have anything useful to add to this thread or are you just going to be one of those people that slams a host in any thread you can find on it with inspecific comments and slanderous accusations?

He has a thread on the topic in the Hosting Forum (top link of the forums).

I noticed that, but rather than keep his comments to his thread, he seems to be digging up any thread he can find on Tera-Byte just to add derogatory comments regardless of whether they're on topic for the thread or not.

I've been with tera-byte for more than a month now and I'm satisfyed with their service.

Good points:
Good support, you speak with someone in the NOC immediately, even a 3 AM or during busy hours.
Reliable network. Good speed. Too bad only 10 MBPS ports, as I think this is what is limiting me.
$2.50/GB plan is pretty good

Bad points:
Can't seem to get bandwidth stats
They don't send bills! I only see the charge on my credit card and I don't know what is it for
Expensive technicians (65$/hour I think, but since I don't get bills I'm not sure).

A 10 Mbps port is more than sufficient for most servers. In the event that you anticipate needing more bandwidth than that (say you're sustaining 8 Mbps) then you could upgrade to a faster port.

Use of Tera-Byte's technicians is $50/hour if you need them to do things like install programs on your server for you or other things which are generally considered to be the responsibility of the person administering the server.

Hi,

Thank you CJB. I had some hardware troubles and needed to have a tech. open my server, is it the same rate?

Also, since you seem to be informed, is it normal that I don't receive bills?

And I forgot a bad point:
Mail support is slow. After waiting for 2 hours for a reply, I give them a call and the problem is fixed in seconds. Than 2 hours later I get an answer to my email saying "Hmm, this problem seems already fixed".. 4 hours email answer is very good, but it is so faster through phone...

These are all minor issues, I'm not complaining at all. In fact I am quite happy with the service and I recommend them.

If it's a server you provided, that fee may apply to hardware work that needs to be done to the server.

I may or may not be right about this, but I think an e-mail "reminder" is sent out a week or so before the end of the month to inform you of your upcoming payment. I believe you said you're using the plan B colocation, which is relateively new, so that may still be under construction. Either way, you should be able to get an invoice if needed if you e-mail.

Telephone support will always be the fastest, then IRC support, then e-mail support. I don't think 4 hours is too bad myself, but I know Steve always tries to keep it as quick as possible. Sometimes things can increase the support load though, so from time to time responses may take longer than usual. If it's an urgent matter, you're probably better off calling or using IRC anyway.

IRC support? That's nice.

What's the channel/server?


Thanks a lot,

irc.tera-byte.com
#tera-byte

irc.mircx.com

#4webspace i think

Yeah, irc.mircx.com and irc.tera-byte.com are basically the same. #4webspace is for support with users of 4WebSpace; #tera-byte is for support for all other Tera-Byte clients.

No answer for this question so far.....:rolleyes:

Hi,

Judging by their website I'd say you're right.

When I ordered my plan B server, there was a 100$ rack charge for a server more than 1U. Now it is not mentioned anymore.
