Wow nice offer :gthumb:

Wow, sounds great. Sort of like a BurstNet Refugee sale huh? :D

Wow, sounds great. Sort of like a BurstNet Refugee sale huh

It is for me. What was I thinking. Well, this will make 3 servers for SM from myself now.

Is it possible to get the setup fee wavied? If it is you got a new customer.

I am sorry I can not waive the setup.

But we are worth the extra few bucks :-]

FYI: Fantastico is misspelled on the order form.

Good deal btw. :gthumb:

What is the approx setup time right now as I am assuming you guys have a much increased load of customers due to the Burst implosion...

Last I heard was 24-30 hours, but that was before this morning's outage at Burst.

Edit: see http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=1891273#post1891273

I have cancelled my server but have 30 days left. I will purchase but I want to wait till about the 17th to order so I do not have a long overlap. Can I make an arrangement to hold this special till then?

I just need someone to allow me to pay for servers by PayPal....
Even BVS reseller account was disabled on WHT, dont know any SM reseller who may allow to buy these servers by PayPal for these prcies... If anyone could help, please pm.

yaax, here are some SM resellers to get you started (all take PayPal). I'd suggest contacting each and seeing what they can offer you:

http://www.kwikhosting.com/
http://www.simops.com/
http://www.smart-hosting.com/
http://www.vb-host.com/
http://www.afhosting.com/
http://www.beachcomber.net/

What is the current set-up time?

24hours?

Thanks

Normal turn around is 24 hours.

Can current customers get fantastico?

My BurstNET server has just been renewed, I am 100% sure that I will rent your 2.4 celeron with SM, will I still receive the CPanel and Fantastico then? It would be so great...

Thanks in advance..

The hopeless BurstNET client: Ben

Hello,

I am very intrested in renting the silver package.

For £38 per month. I am setting up a forum hosting site and it would be ideal

I would highly consider buying it if there was no set up fee, i just cannot commit $99 right away.

I do not really need fantactico at all as the features arnt needed.

If you could work something out, please let me know chris@invisionplus.net

you got me as client today ;) SM did exactly what i needed (i hadn't even slept well last night, and then in the morning i read about this in another thread.. as soon as i get my sm server working, i'll sleep much better, heeeeee)

yeah the setup fee is.. so so.. but well you made a good deal with cpanel and fantastico, so you got me :)

As far as I know, the Silver management package is free.

Silver is free, yes.

I just bought my first SM box! This will surely effect those hosts considering switching from BURST. The prices are great considering the cPanel charge of $20/MO is essentially waived!

Hooray for SM!

As displayed in their prices, you can either pay a low monthy fee, and a $49 setup fee, or an even lower monthy fee, and a $99 setup fee. NOT FREE SET-UP!

(Unless you get the $300 a month one)

Bye bye Burst/Nocster, I just ordered a Server Matrix server! :)

any ideas when this offer ends? I really would like to get one

Not sure, you should get one though...I got a faster server (P4 2.8 gig), with 3 times more memory (2 gig) for $10 more per month.

I would love to get one, bu i wouldnt use it for the next 3 months and:

A) I would lose 3 or so months cash

B) If i leave it i lose the offer

:(

It ends in a week, well says the SM Sales Team

does anyone know the ram and 2nd hdd upgrade setup fees for SM?

I'm thinking of getting the basic package, say the P4-2.4, but later upgrade ram and add another hdd. Other than the additional monthly fees, does SM charge for the setup?

O_O i'm impressed, SM already called to confirm my order and said everything will be working in 24 hours O_O

truly i didn't think they'd call international to confirm (when paying other things i've had to confirm with scans or faxes), but of course with phone confirmation it's much more faster, whoa this is a good thing from SM n_n

boeki,

According to the order form on the website, you pay $20 per month for an extra 512MB, $30 a month for an extra 40GB HDD.

Yourhost,

I really hate paying an additional monthly fee for extra RAM and a backup HDD. Will SM be able to provide a one time charge for extra 512MB RAM and a 40 GB HDD?

This question has been asked numerous of time in here and SM's forum, the answer is yes, they have heard of this suggestion but NO, they don't provide it, at least for now.

I hate you yourhost, :D you should offer this few days earlier :D

My bags are in tow.

I am interested in leasing one of your servers. However, I am concerned about the number of ThePlanet listings at http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/ . In particular a couple of the listings date back to Dec 3. I mention this since it would be disastrous if my email were to get blocked.

How much for the SuperXEON with SCSI drive ?

Wow great deal wish i had got this :(

the offer from SM is real nice, but have anyone of you ever looked at the partition setups these guys do by default ? The partitions are all setup inside single /

I manage several boxes at SM for my customers. Here is the df -h for a box.

/dev/hda3 70G 4.5G 62G 7% /
/dev/hda1 502M 25M 452M 6% /boot
none 247M 0 247M 0% /dev/shm

They don't even follow the specs as provided by cpanel guys for disk partitioning forget nething else.

Guys i am not saying that there is any probs with SM, but atleast i believe disk partitioning should be done properly on servers.

And this is not a single box, i have seen this on every box that i maintain on SM today (i think that would be 5-6 min)

What about incorporating a party? :D

anand247sm - servermatrix will partition your disks however you ask them to - they are pretty flexible that way. I have 5 (soon to be 7) servers I managed there and they have had no problem with any special requests I have made with partitioning disks a specific way - in fact, they have a spot on their order for specifically for that.

boeki - The last time I ordered a RAM upgrade I believe there was a $25 setup fee in addition to the monthly fees on the RAM. I don't think I've ever added a HDD after the fact, but I would imagine the setup would be similar. That was quite some time ago, so it may have changed since but that was my experience.

YourHost - You never did answer the question about existing customers getting fantastico - will this be available, and will there be some cost involved? Should I just go ahead and put in a ticket via Orbit (I need 3-4 licenses). You guys should really think about hooking up with the RVSkin guys too - excellent cpanel skin.

My post was related to people who actually don't know anything about disk partitioning etc and just order boxes. Later they find sys admins to manage boxes for them. That was my point.

servermatrix's web site is very very slow for me..
https://www.servermatrix.com/solutions/ss28_server.html page has not been loaded yet. (for 1-2 minutes)
anyone has some problem?

loading fast for me. I don't see any probs at present.

i tried to use the form to generate a pricing for a config and used the WHT as the promotional code, the discount wasn't reflected on the final quote. Any ideas ?

LOL looks like they recalled their offer before their one week completion.

NO they shouldn't

We liked having FREE Fantastico and RVSkin as part of our offerings all by ourselves...Don't want SM to do it direct TOO..:laugh:

Just kidding of course, both Fantastico and RVSkins are great products and represent great value...and the more we all get out of our servers for us and our customers, the healither the industry will be...

OK, gotta go..Site is getting swamped again with Burst Refugees......:banana:..

I tried 2-3 times same thing. And yes i put the wht code in promotion code field itself.

Just to let everyone know the special is still available.

Just make sure you are entering WHT, in the promo code box.

Everything should work fine. It did for the hundreds of orders yesterday and today.

Let us know if you have any questions......

Thanks Everyone.

From the SM Forums: There's a $20 one time fee (per server) if you're an existing customer and want fantastico installing - although I believe someone mentioned it could take up to 3 weeks.

HTH

Is there a further discount if i don't want fantastico ? Free cpanel is ok.

Not as far as I know: Fantastico is a free bonus.

the previous deal was a bit more enticing than this one... (free 2nd 80GB hd--with the super saver 2.8... which is $40/month extra normally... this current deal only saves you $20/month...)

on the other hand, the free cpanel would be a better deal if there was only a one-time charge for upgrades, but since there's not, oh well...
;)

I guess you can thank Burstnet for that. ;)

Will that slow down the normal set-up time of 24hours for new servers?

I CAN"T RESIST ANY LONGER

I am very interested in one of these servers. Would someone please answer a question for me?

I notice the Silver service is free with the package. I prefer at this point in time to have a managed server?

Would this package be enough?

Would someone let me know what I would be required to do on my own? (not the obvious like looking after my customers, setting up domain names, etc BUT server issues)

Thank you for the help

Thats when you go to Server Matrix Resellers, like CybexHost, which offer an additional level of support and managed services.

Well every hosting company has its own defination of managed servers. You should always ask them before hand to check what they say is managed. And as cybexhost1 mentioned thats the reason us resellers are present.

If you can't manage the servers yourself, consider either taking a higher management service from SM or look for a company / someone who can manage the server for you.

As dougefresh said about backup, its always better to have backups, better than getting f**ked later. (sorry for the language)

I'd rather get Fantastico for $20 and wait for a bigger deal.

Tired of installing programs on the one server w/Fantastico, then transferring it to the other w/o Fantastico. :blush:

Case of mistaken identity perhaps ;)

Somebody told something about free fantastico and rvskin, does SM are offering also the Rvskin or it was a joke or what?

In fact do you know of some body offering this ? free or included rvskin in a server?

Or sometihing like that.

Thnx

Does anyone know how long this deal lasts? I'm moving to SM due to the recent SCO issue with EV1, however I won't probably be able to move until near the end of the month. I'm really hoping this thing will still be around.

Last I heard, it was limited time. I think only this week? Hopefully SM will say one way or another soon. :)
Glenn

I wouldn't plan past Friday....We aren't...;)

Now, that is not to say that we may not have a few extra, but Christmas only comes once a year and doesn't last THAT long....:santa2:

;_; well that really sucks, don't know if the money can be gotten in time to afford paying for a while.

The special will end Monday, March 8th.

I wonder how existing customers can take advantage of this deal? I feel weird paying 2x as much for the same set up at the same company.

I can't get away from this "Dual 2.8Ghz Intel Xeon Processors " from theplanet.com

If i register for that server, do i get anyone to move my dedicated server from the current one to the one i will get from theplanet?

Theres an odd solution to that, buy a new SM server, cancel your old one after you have moved everything over, and ta da you are now getting a cheaper price, kinda alot to go through though.

I am looking at totalchoice.
Could I put SCSI HD on it? seems more reasonable to match SCSI with XEONs

Hi, Matt!

This is the first option which will costs you one additional setup fee and the rest of the monthly transfer. With the new server, you will make up for the losses in 8 months (minimum).

The second option is to pay the $20 setup fee for Fantastico and get it free (which I did for the benefit of my customer friends).

PS. This, IMO, is the better option, because in December, there might be some bigger deals to make you decide upgrade your server.

Just thinking aloud...

I have been paying 139 for the super celeron 1.7, which is now 69 with 99 seutp. I think this is pretty obvious how fast I can make up for it. I was surprised that I don't even have to pay for additional IPs any more like I have been doing.

I almost shot off an email to my account manager, but then I saw this...

Hi 'YourHost'...
I'd like to order a super celeron 2.4 with $99 setup, but my credit card has a monthly limit for internet shopping, which the server cost + setup will exceed. Can you possibly split the setup fee in 2 for me? so I can pay $50 this month with the server charge, and the other $50 with next month charge?

If thats impossible, can I just pay the $99 setup fee now, then get the server next month when I start paying its monthly charge?

Hi YourHost,
I'd like to order a C-1.7G with US$99 setup. Any special price for me if I pay yearly?

I'm sure you guys would get much faster responses if you emailed sales at servermatrix dot com instead of posting here.

Thats bad... can a server be reserved?

Why do we have to use the Sales RFQ? Is it required. I hate having to type out all the specs. If it's your 2nd and 3rd server do they give you any discount? If not then I'd prefer not having to fill out the sales RFQ and just ordereding it normally.

You can use the main page, enter the "wht" promotion code, then "get quote" and paste that information in to the RFQ.

I don't usually make posts like this but I'm in awe already. I placed an order for a server at 12:23 and at 3:15 I received an email that the server was set up and ready to go. Less than 3 hours, wow. In my three years in this industry, that's a first. *does the happy dance*

thanks for the 1) get quote 2) copy and paste...just did that for 2 more servers at 5:30pm PST. Just in time before promo runs out.

Wow...that is fast!

I've been waiting since 06 MAR 2004 04:30 PM. I just called them up after seeing your post and it seems they're quite backed up on orders. Looks like its gonna be ready only by tomorrow for me!

Dang, I just missed out.

How long till the next special? I need another box or 2 asap ;)

The new special will be released today.

It's a good one also.

How long will the new offer be valid for?

I hate waiting for checks to clear ;)

it's been over 24 hours since my order..still waiting. Just hope they set it up tonight since billing (pro-rated for the month) starts today. I'm glad I got in on the free cpanel rather than the free 80GB since I don't need the extra hd space.

Dang this is a sweet deal! Bring it back again please!!!!!!!

I'll be waiting for this deal to come back to sign up!

so any updates on new special coz i have to get 2 servers so i am waiting.

There's a new special posted every week or so in this forum , look on the first page, it'll be there.

HTH
