Anyone heard of them? I hear they have some pretty good prices on a dedicated servers but they don't seem to have a site up at the time? Does anyone have any info or experiences with this company?

I have a server with them.

If you do as the above poster says and use the search, you will come by some posts by me.

Basically, Serverhost/Plusweb/colorackwhatever are the same company run by Jeffrey (jkehe).
The network is with cogent - which isn't bad IMO - bursts of 2.47mb/s as opposed to VO's 487k/s to the same server.

I was hit with loads of hardware issues when I got the server in August, and it wasn't until October when it was useable again.
Also, a few weeks ago, Cpanel license expired on my server on a friday - wasn't until the monday when it was working again - so there was a lot of time I couldn't access WHM to add new accounts nor could users access their Cpanel - VERY annoyed at that.

When the server works, it is great. Can't fault the speed of it - but if you get one, make sure u know what you are doing with the server as there is a hefty tech fee of about $170/hr.

Often times we'll do simple things for free or very little cost. The $175/hour rate on tech support is primarily for on-site service.

well, I mean..

If the ACTUAL linux server, is online, and running, I believe thats what you call a "server that works"

if software isnt working correctly, i wouldn't count that as "server isnt working"

I do business with ServerHost/Plusweb and have for years.
I've never had problems.

Because our companies are in the same city, we do short-term business back and fourth all the time.

We also buy hardware from them from time to time.

Can't comment a whole lot on the servers they lease out, though. Just know they have a lot!

Not if that software is supposed to be part of the server they're selling.

Has anyone received their Cogent 300GB special yet.. How long did it take and is everything working???

Let me know

Thanks! :)

Heyo,

I'm with Serverhost as well. I did have some substancial downtime a few weeks ago but after it was sorted out things have been just great.


As with WIldWayz, I get good speed.

pearle

It amazes me how downtime is so acceptable and network latency is so acceptable.

You must be at/own the one NOC that's never seen a second of downtime or sluggishness, wow. :rolleyes:

I would agree that down time is "normal" unfortunately at almost every site. They may claim 100% uptme, but as long as humans designed it, there are LOTS of strings attached. Down time is part of life. Like sleep. ;-)

I can guerentee we have never had any downtime, WE use only high quality yarn for stringing together our 2 communication devices (styrophone cups). You know how much it costs to lay yarn?

If you have any kittens about, I imagine it is pretty cheap.
