Layered tech is not on the westcoast, they are in dallas. But, here is one from managed.com (Westcoast)

AMD Athlon XP 2000
512MB DDRAM Memory
80GB EIDE Hard Drive
1,000GB Data Transfer
No Contract
Free Set-up
$70/mo

ya thats what i meant i need a server on the westcoast

anyother places besides managed.com?:(

Don't take my word on this because I've never used them, but I found a west coast provider that seems to have very competitive rates.
http://calpop.com/

but again, I have never used them. I'm not exactly excited about the upstream providers, but that's just personal preference.

they might be good for what you're hoping for.

It only looks cheap - if you check it you will find out that they bill bandwidth based on 95% - so theirs 2000GB is not equal to 2000GB of providers that bill based on average.

at 2 terrabytes that's not an issue with 99% of the dedicated servers out there. with a lot of them unless it was pure ftp traffic you'd kill the server before you'd breach 2000GB.

I get customers all the time that tell me they'll use 1200 gb. Then when i chart their usage they come out to 3 to 400.

Their pricing structure wouldn't bother me. I would MUCH prefer to use avg rather than throughput. I think we came to 1 megabit is good for about 300GB per month. Somewhere around there.

Based on 95th% of peak usage i think it'd still come in line pretty well.

Course, I'd also want a couple months under my belt before actually selling that noc anyway. And in that time I'd get a pretty good idea of how good/bad it is.

try some resellers of he.net bandwidth/space

check out fastservers.net and ask where is their new DC...

calpop is not really that stable. Pings sometime jump to over 500+ ( this happens around every 3 days for around 5 min).
Fastserver's servers are really good for game servers. Their setup fees are kinda high, just wait till they have a server up for sution then you can forget about paying the setup fees :D

i been looking in the offers section and saw vrtservers.net that have what i want and our located in LA

does any one have any experience with them?
