I have 800 Mhz 128 mb of ram, 30 gb hard drive, and 25 gigs of bandwidth for only $99.95 per month with no setup fee! This does include webmin web based control panel. Additional bandwidth is only $2 per gig or 50 gigs for $75. If you want to order this or have questions please contact me at tim@multipleimage.com

I forgot to mention that this does include remote reboots as well.

How much does it cost for RAM upgrade? Can we get the server without WEBMIN? We would like to install CPanel ourselves... Hope that is possible. I can use a backup server to manage server load :)

Hi Synergy

I asked roughly the same questions to Tim, so here is his answers :)

1. What are your data connections/noc?
Dual OC3

2. How much for 512mb ram (one off payment preferred)?
About $100 one time or $20 per month.

3. Is there a contract length?
No this is month to month

4. What is support like (I know it sounds funny, but waiting a day for an issue to be looked at is no fun)?
Most issues are resolved within two hours.

5. How much is support?
Support is free unless it becomes excessive(ie reinstalling your os weekly)

6. Do you allow vhosts and allow reverse DNS?
Yes

7. What speed hard drive is it?
5400rpm

8. Is it a Celeron 800 or P3 800?
Celeron. $15 more per month and we can up grade it to a P3 800.

9. What OS is installed?
What OS do you want. Our default OS is red hat but we can install any.

10. How much for an additional...
30gb HD $15
Backup solution we will be offering one soon and that will be free or low cost.
CPanel/WHM $85

11. Also, what things aren't allowed on the server?
As long as it is legal it is allowed.

Anything that is legal is alowed!

I know everything is allowed but sometime some isps claim adult content is illegal :)

multipleimage
08-25-2001, 12:43 PM
Yes we do allow adult content. We do not think it is illegal.

WildWayz
08-25-2001, 12:52 PM
I think by legal adult content, it is 'normal' adult stuff not the dodgy things like bestiality/rape/etc

I mean, if your child was to stumble across some porn - what stuff would u not be so bad about seeing?

To me personally, normal nudes/celebrity and softcore stuff is fine, but anything which is beyond 'normal' isn't :)

But I could be wrong =)

Excellent deal tho

What would the price be.

Plesk or CPanel?
What Version?

multipleimage

We are currently negotiating with Plesk. Cpanel/whm is $100 per month. Plesk will be at a reduced price if not free in the very near future.

Hello

Very nice price. But I got some questions as well.

1. Do you have your own data centre?
2. Where are the servers located?
3. How are supports handled?
4. Additional bandwidth $2/gb ? Is that overaged price?
5. Have you got a IP i can ping the speed?
6. finally how to order it.

multipleimage
08-25-2001, 09:53 PM
1) No we do not have our own center, we have partnered with one.

2) Orlando, Florida

3) e-mail is prefered but we also have phone support. Average resolution to is 2 hours

4) Yes that is overage price. But if you continure to go over every month we do request that you pre pay for a block(you receive discounts for doing that as well)

5) 216.22.67.165

6) If you would like to order it please e-mail me at tim@Multipleimage.com , this is a special price for WHT and is not on our site.

1) No we do not have our own center, we have partnered with one.

Will we get some ticket system from the EPIK or we have to contact you for support.


4) Yes that is overage price. But if you continure to go over every month we do request that you pre pay for a block(you receive discounts for doing that as well)

>>>>>> How much discount we get if we prepay for the 2 months. I don't think anyone prepays for 6 months or 1 year before knowing the service and support of the company.
Will you slash the monthly price after 6 months when the deal will be in market for $50 :) or you will still be charging $100 flat.



5) 216.22.67.165

>>>>>>>what is the uptime of server you gaurantee 99.99% or less. Do you give somekind of credit if we dont get 99.99% in one month. How many servers are located in EPIK data center so far.

An extra 25gb to this special is $49.95. We install webmin free of charge and soon plesk will be at discounted rates. We can install tomcat for free. We can raid your system for you. We will soon be offering a weekly backup service as well. This does also allow remote reboots. What do you mean how are we partnered with them?

In your deal there is only thing missing that is good CP.
Webmin is server admin software but what about the end users. Why don't you give atleast ENSIM, CPANEL or PLEASK.
Today end user wants things like
webmail facility, subdomains, creating emails, forwarders, responders, mailinglist.
I don't think all these things are supported by webmin. For webmin CP we need a person to sit in front of computer doing job for the clients :D
If you will provide after 2 months then it will double the job cos then apache will be reinstalled so the CP.
What if someone wants to host with you in 4-5 days will you manage a good CP for him
I guess manveen means that what are your business terms with EPIK NOC.
Will you install and configure Tomcat without any charges.

WildWayz
08-29-2001, 07:19 AM
Mainly because of the cost.

Cpanel ranges from $60 to $100 a month
Plesk is about $550 one off
Ensim is a lot too

I think if you are willing to pay for the CPanel, then they won't have a problem installing it for you.

Remember, this server IS $99.95 so don't expect CPanel with it :)

Yes there is only onething missing in deal and that is the CP. Tim why don't you provide Pleask its really good. If you can provide pleask, cpanel or ensim before weekend then I will take one linux and one NT server.
Linux is free of cost and what will be the cost for NT.
I am gonna book 2 servers one linux and one NT.
Will you provide programs like TOMCAT , JDK and mail2web like program without any installation charges.
There is similar deal like burst.net but they offer CP and unlimited IP's.
Email me the details of 2 servers if you are interested but CP other than Webmin :)

This is a discount server. A lot of our clients who purchased this special do not need a control panel or are willing to pay more for it. If you want plesk we could arange for that but there would be an additional fee.

No we do not place any bandwidth restrictions unless you request it. Please e-mail me at tim@multipleimage.com to discuss windows pricing. There are several variables.

The burst.net deal is a little differnt as it is actually $150 per month after three months and there is a $100 setup fee. We also include 25gb of bandwidth and burst only includes 10gb. They use a 700MHz processor while we use a 800MHz. Our hard drive is also larger. And that server does not offer unlimited IP's but 5. These are not similar servers. If you are willing to pay more we could add plesk.

George
09-03-2001, 09:25 PM
Do you offer a 30 money back guarantee? Do you have an option to "buy". Several dedicated hosts have a "feature" that the server is yours after x months, do you and if so how many months? Thanks again

The price depends on how many domains you will host. It will be atleast 25% off plesk normal price. We only provide webmin as a control panel. We will soon be offering our own client control panel free to our dedicated customers. It is currently in development. It should be released by the end of the year.

We have a contract gurarntee. If we do not provide the services it states you can have your money back. Otherwise we could have customers who just go for the money back guarantee and go host to host to host. That would be like free hosting for life for them. It is $10 more per month if you would like to buy the server. You own it after 24 months. (It is $10 more per month for this server only, other servers may have a differnt fee) Your monthly rate would go down by $25 per month as a colo customer at that point.

jolly
09-04-2001, 01:57 AM
So after 24 months server will be ours. Everything is fine with the server and the deal but I guess you should talk to Plesk for CP.
I am sure few WHT members will host with you if you can put something with plesk.
Email me whenever you are done with Plesk.

what do you kids want?
that sounds to me like a fine deal for a dedicated server.

seems to me that all you can think off is gonna get rich selling that one server to 100 customers with cp. and why dont you buy the software instead and install it yourself?

get a life and grow up.

sorry, had to say that. and im not in any kind involved in this company or any other hosting company, im just pissed of by such 14year olds... giving the little finger and wanting the whole arm.

I agree with you Aibon - but held back :)

Seriously, this server is $99 - and you expect a free copy of Plesk worth $550ish?
Sure, if Plesk are still doing the free 1 domain license, then I am sure that is not a problem.

But this is $99 - maybe he would do it for $99 + $550 setup? :)

09-04-2001, 01:02 PM
Oh, no, I am not asking for more, I know how great this deal is and hell, he has to make his money on it and offering cpanel would hinder that

When Plesk becomes available, will anything have to be reinstalled on the server to get it working

If I am hosting say 50 domains what will be the approx. monthly price for Plesk.


Thank you for your patience

Plesk does use its own instance of apache. The prices can very for plesk, if you are willing to sign a contract with a 6 month term we can offer you plesk for a monthly rate. We have a couple of other control panel options as well. Please e-mail me at tim@multipleimage.com with what exacly you need the control panel for and we can go from there.

well actually this CAN be profitable. First off he gets new customers. I would imagine that people who get dedicated servers are more serious about their work and will probably not screw him at the same rate as shared ones might. These new customers will also need more services as time progresses, increasing their price. Ultimately they may have to switch to a more powerful dedicated server. It is a longterm investment and hopefully he'll get serious people,

30bg harddrive and 25 (+ 50) gigs bandwidth for $174.95 sounds nice.
Would the 800 Mhz 128 mb of ram be suitable for hosting a large (1-2 million impressions per month) vBulletin with a few thousand members?

WildWayz
09-08-2001, 06:10 PM
Depends how many concurrent users at once.

The more ram the better, in my opinion. In your case, I would probably say 512mb is nice.

multipleimage
09-08-2001, 06:47 PM
to upgrade to 256mb ram is $7 more per month and 512mb of ram is $22 more per month. You could also pay one time fee's for these as well instead of monthly.

If you are running vbulletin I would recommend atleast 256mb.

multipleimage
09-11-2001, 12:58 AM
Yes we can install freebsd. You will normally need to run some updates on freebsd however. You would need to do those yourself. Additional IP's are $10 for 10, $35 for 50 and a class c is $115.

freevsd not freebsd

freeVSD is an advanced web-hosting platform for ISPs, educational institutions and other large organisations. It allows multiple Virtual Servers to be created on a single hosting server, each with a truly separate and secure web-hosting environment. This reduces an ISP's hardware outlay and also lowers the cost of support due to delegated administration.

can you install this for me or I need to install this myself?

2. How much is RAM Upgrade at a later Time (One Time - yes I read the Post about Monthly) ?
3. How long is Contract, is it Month to Month ?

1. Is a -1 Year to own- also possible and when yes how much (+ USD 20.--/Month ??)
2. How much is RAM Upgrade at a later Time (One Time - yes I read the Post about Monthly) ?
3. How long is Contract, is it Month to Month ?
4. Support: Is ICQ-Support also possible or only Mail ?

If you want to upgrade to 256MB RAM that has a one time fee of $35. The contract is month to month. We do not offer 24/7 ICQ support but we are on it frequently.
