For some reason, your page looks like E.FreeServers. Your name has similar characteristics too. Not that having any partnership with EFS is bad but I just found it odd since it seemed like you are running everything.

Interesting

E.Continents is the parent (or similar) company of EFS.

I don't see why they would need different companies/websites for the same service :rolleyes:

Hello Teck & JBIZZ718,

Just to make sure there's no confusion, E.FreeServers is a wholly-owned subsidiary of E.Continents, Inc. EFS focuses on the small business markets while E.Continents provide bandwidth services to corporate / enterprise customers. Just as Yahoo! France looks like Yahoo! Australia, we felt that it's important our two sites to have similar layouts so that our customers will know that EFS and ECI are the same company.


Best Regards,

Just wondering...
You say, "as low as $0.50 / 1GB"
and, "Bandwidth pricing starts at $0.50 / 1GB"

The only way this could be is if you only had one price for bandwidth. It would be the lowest price, and starting price.

Can you clarify?

http://colocation.econtinents.com/pricing.htm but i dont see that reflected on this page?

According to their page, it looks like if you're using 1000mbps you can get the .50 /GB pricing.

Time to move all my 300,000+GB servers. :D

A traceroute from verio to your web sites goes to Level 3. Why is that?

Just a theory, but perhaps they are not configured for bgp routing...if that's what you mean.:D

THey dont use bgp routing from what i here from their users which means if the network your placed on goes down theres no backup.

I don't know if they'll be back to respond or not, so let me just state what Jacques with EFS told me last week.
They just signed new bandwidth contracts, and as such have arranged for a dedicated 100 mbps circuit from Qwest to be installed in their San Francisco facility, which will be used for bgp routing. I don't know how long this takes, but I do know it's simply a matter of pulling the circuit from the 3rd floor to the 5th floor...which is great, since it won't add any additional telco hops.

Well, their site says E.Continents integrates sophisticated and proven technologies such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4) but from the looks of it, they do not use BGP4. Try a trace route from different providers (even Qwest) and you will that is all comes in on Level3.

Just an FYI :)

Perhaps you should re-read what I just said.

sBrad, maybe you should re-read my post. According to their site, they say they are already running BGP4.

No, I understand what you're saying.
But I'm not going debate this, partly because I don't KNOW the answer, and partly because I have no idea what this has to do with the advertising forum.
Were you looking for a provider? If so, I think they have a toll-free number.

What I am saying is that they say they are running BGP on their website when in fact they are not.

Does not matter what they told you or are going to do. It's only information.

No, absolutely. And I'm not trying to argue. The point I was trying to get across in the last post was that I really DON'T know. That's why I suggested calling them rather than relying on me. :)
