How much would one expect to pay for co-lo of two servers, and bandwidth charges for 5.8TB a month?
Thanks in advance. :)

Some type of download site? parabola 02-15-2002, 06:24 PM Originally posted by StephenRS 5.6TB a month. Is that PER server? Is it spread out, a constant stream, or are their peak and low periods? Some type of download site? No, 5.6TB total for the month. A large forum. Peaks and low periods. One server is a web server, the other is a DB server directly attached to the webserver.

That is considering peak bursts and such? parabola 02-15-2002, 06:45 PM Originally posted by cperciva Woah. That's a *big* forum. What is it, slashdot? No, not that big.

Who wouldn't want to sell almost 6000 GB/month of bandwidth? That does look very high for a forum. sailor 02-15-2002, 08:28 PM Originally posted by JBIZ718 Well it depends on the type of Bandwidth Your looking at about 19mbps 2 servers about $50 per U So if its 2 x 1u servers that 100 Cogent bandwidth 19mbps x $45 = $855 Your looking at about 955$ per month Joe Are you selling it for 45 per meg or are you supposing it costs this much? Aren't you losing money on it at this rate? It seems that on a line that is not more than 70% filled so as to allow burst room the cost is 3000/.7 = 4285 or 42.85 per meg raw cost that is going to cogent - and that does not include any router amortization - support engineering overhead or profit. Please tell us how you do it - not being disrespectful or smart allecky - just inquiring minds want to know - I would be quoting this at 145 per meg to cover everything. JBIZ718 02-15-2002, 08:54 PM Well I wont go into specifics but we arent loosing money at all. And 145 per mbps for cogent bandwidth is a but pricey. Joe jw 02-15-2002, 11:37 PM Do you have mod_gzip installed? It could reduce bandwidth usage very significantly for a forum. cbaker17 02-16-2002, 12:50 AM I thought you didnt like cogent joe (jbiz)? JBIZ718 02-16-2002, 02:18 PM I am not that big of a fan. But a few people in chicago needed really cheap bandwidth. So i got it for them. Joe |
