Hey there guys,


I really enjoyed reading a lot of topic's from this forums and learned a lot,

I currently have couple of websites, some of them have high traffic and some has low traffic, do you guys advise me to get a RAQ server for all of the websites?

Where can I get good offers to rent a RAQ Server with good traffic options?


:D BinQatar :D

What do you concider high traffic? And what kind of traffic?

I have a raq with a site on it that does about 150 GB of traffic per month and there are 110 other sites on it that do about 75 GB of traffic each month.

But only a few sites use bulletinboards, chat or mysql. Those things can break a raq.

The best place for a raq is without doubt rackshack.net.
300 GB datatransfer per month, $ 106.- per month (tax included).

During the last 6 months nearly 100% uptime.

thanks for replying ,

well I would say that the total traffic to all my websites may reach between 75GB to 150GB , I do have one website that use VB , I did hear bad things about VB with a RAQ server , specially if there is like 50-100 people online , the connection becomes very slow

so do you think its better to get a RAQ server or I should change to Dedicated Hosting servers ?

The raqs at rackshack ARE dedicated hosting servers :cool:

The raq could probably do the job well. But if you don't care one way or the other if you get a raq or something else then you're better of with something else.

For the same price you can also rent other setups with better processors and more ram at Rackshack.

Personally I like raqs, and I'll soon get yet another one from RS ;)

Prices from Rackshack are very cheap,

I have a question about RackShack :
How many IP ADDRESS they can give us for free?

You get one IP.

You can request additional IP's but you need to specify the reason why you need them.
If the reason is valid you will usually get them within 48 hrs.

Official pricing is $ 25.- one time setup fee and $ 1.- per IP per month. (sold in blocks of 4 IP's)

Unofficially they usually throw in the first few IP's in for free (up to 8) but the valid reason is still required
