earlier on this week, and it is pretty damn good. Ordered it on Tuesday - was up Wednesday night. Had to wait another few hours for the Cpanel license to be activated - not a problem as I could change settings etc

Network seems pretty good - fast from the UK. One thing though, if you get a server, just make sure /etc/host is properly configured - if it isn't then uploading files will be slower than normal.

All in all, I am dead chuffed with it - I even get MRTG stats too :)

--James

eServers.biz does a great job for us! If you have any need of a little extra help on your server and especially if you want managed server - they are a great partner of ours.

U're lucky to get it within 2 days
I ordered my 5 days ago and still no reply,
charged money already nothing but silence
Damn...

I have a server with these guys and here is my review:

Uptime: EXCELLENT
Speed: Very Fast
Support: Best I've seen

You won't go wrong with cabal, he does a fine job!

Yes, we do accept wire transfer.

If you want cogent only bandwidth then we can do a 300GB block for $150, if you want multi-homed, then it will be $300 for 300GB block.

You cant really get less than $1 per Gig for multi-homed, you wont find it at that price :D

Hi,

Are these prices slightly different to the offers in the other thread?

Yes they are a little,

Two of our servers, (#8145 & #82XP) have 512mb Ram and an additional 40gb hdd as standard (total 80GB) :D

but.... we can do the exact same prices as the other post with the exact same specs ;)

Kind Regards
Imran

Can you detail (for the studio audience ;)), all the ways you can think of that your deal is different from Tranxact's?

I know you can provide additional support functions, but what exactly are those functions? Do you get anything additional for free (a little extra config help or something)? Anything additional for pay? Anything cheaper? Anything more expensive? Different prices for support? Different speed of setup and delivery?

I mean, I KNOW you're different. Right off the bat, I can see that you will offer packages at slightly different prices, which is cool. I just want you to get explicit about all your OTHER differences. I think it would help a lot of folks understand your offer better. Difference sells, sameness doesn't. So do tell. Give us the down and gritty. Sell us. :)

I will second that....what benefits are there for ordering from you rather than from sailor??

Still confused?:confused:

Can you give me a final price on...

Dual PIII 1ghz
512mb RAM
2 x 40gb HDD (with software raid config)
300gb bandwidth
all other bits...
and CPanel.

Cheers.

Well, we arent really that different from Tranxact.

eServers and Tranxact have worked close together, to get the ball rolling, now that things have kicked off, we are targeting the european market for clients.

Support functions, we have techs that are very experienced with Cpanel and Plesk, this allows us to take issues into our own hands rather than having to contact a third party, therefore saving time and keeping customers happy.

We have qualified linux gurus who offer managed dedicated services, and an additional cost of $250 month, details of this service are below.

"Managed Dedicated Servers:

Many people don't have the expertise to manage a Red Hat Linux server, a Managed dedicated server allows you to concentrate on managing and developing your websites, while a skilled Server Administrator worries about issues related to the operating system and system applications.

Below is a more detailed list of what our services cover:

- Network/Server Monitoring
Your server will be monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We will be notified immediately of any failure of a service on your server and it will be fixed straight away. Monitored services include FTP, HTTP, MySQL, POP, SMTP and any control panel installed on the server.

- Software Installation
Server software will be kept up-to-date, this includes Webmin, SSH, Perl, PHP, MySQL, Apache and other standard server software. We will also install other custom server software requested by the client, for example, Perl modules.

- Security Updates
We will ensure that your server is secure at all times, by configuring and installing any high-risk security patches.

We will always strive to provide the best support possible. That's why we will also help you with installing any PHP or Perl scripts or setting up websites, e-mail accounts, FTP accounts etc. You will be assigned a Server Administrator who will personally take care of your server and any problems that you may have. Personal support can be provided via e-mail, MSN Instant Messenger and ICQ.

Due to the high quality of service that we would like to provide,
Managed dedicated servers are limited."

--------

Support prices are at $90 hour.

We always work through with the client to make sure the server is setup as requested before letting them take things into there own hands.

We monitor servers 24/7 and in most cases know before our client that a certain service is not available or is causing problems.

You do not pay for anything additional.
Our response to support tickets is on average with 30 mins.

I hope the above helps ;)

Kind Regards
Imran

SuperDon,

$214 Monthly with $375 SETUP or....
$174 Monthly with $650 SETUP

Kind Regards
Shazad

That's quite a nice little deal for a box that includes Cpanel.

Let me introduce some unique questions...

Can you start off with the lower setup, higher monthly, and then pay the difference between the setups, and get the lower monthly later on? (i.e., with the last machine, you'd pay 375 setup, and 214 monthly for awhile... then pay the difference between 650 and 375 -- 275 - then switch to the lower 174 monthly) The benefit to you is that you not only get the higher install price, but you would've gotten the higher monthly for a good number of months. You end up with more money than if they merely started with the higher setup and lower monthly.

Another unique question would be... well, damn... after all that, I don't remember. ;)

...thanks...so your support charges are cheaper...you offer CPanel experts...

You say you are aimed at the European market, are you European based?

Finally (for now;) ) have you got similar problems with getting these servers up and running? For instance if I go with the Dual PIII deal and wanted this available by Friday or Saturday what is the latest time I can order?

Thanks.

Its a possibility, (something we'd prefer not to do) but we'd have to draw out some kind of contract between us and the client, and it can get messy if things start to go wrong.

SuperDon:
We are based in Europe, United Kingdom to be exact :)

We, do have the same problems with getting servers online, as soon as we (Tranxact and eServers) get things out from the backlog we will get servers online with 2-3 days.

I will contact a tech to get a date/time for when we can get the dual server online for you, I will contact you with further details shortly.

Kind Regards
Imran

Hi,

Whereabouts in the UK? For telephone support do we call you or tranxactglobal? Is this 24x7?

Do these servers inlcude ALL the features that tranxactglobal inlcude (like APC reboot, extranet, 3 month patches etc.),

If you can let me know ASAP about the server and when it can be available by.......

We are based in the North West of the UK (Manchester/Preston and Liverpool)

You first raise a ticket using our support system, if no response you can ring us in the UK.

If you require server reboot, then we will provide you with a contact number for the Data Center, but you will have your APC to do the reboots yourself.

You will get extranet access for MRTG details.

3 Months patches, we can do those yes.
If theres an upgrade out and you want it the software upgraded it will be billable work.
If its a major vunrelability then we'll do all the servers, on clients consent.

About the dual server, you will have to wait until tomorrow before I can give you a date and time. ;)

Kind Regards
Imran

Just wanted to say you have a great website! Very nice layout! If I were in the UK rather than the US I would probably go with you because of the great presentaiton.

Anyway, nice offer and very nice web site. I'm glad more good people are working with DV2. Sailor is great, but I also like knowing he has some nice people to work with too.

Hi Shazad,

Is that a typo?
Dual 1Ghz for $174/month + CPanel? :confused:
Too good to be true?:eek:

ciao ;)

This is probably a stupid question, but was does "8 IP's Included (5 Usable)" mean? Why are only 5 of 8 usable?

Two are network broadcast IP's, and one is a gateway I beleive.

300GB block for 150$... That's 100$+ more than other people, and definitly doesn't cost you more then 50-60$.

300GB block for 150$... That's 100$+ more than other people, and definitly doesn't cost you more then 50-60$
What's in it for them if they sell it at cost? They have to make a little profit somewhere if they're going to stay in business and be happy.

Well considering they colocate and sell dedicated servers. 150$ per 300GB of cogent when most people can get it for 50$-75$(depending who your buying from).

That's just crazy.

Are there that many people in this board buying 300GB (1MBps) of Cogent bandwidth for 150$? I didn't think so, but I could be very wrong.

I'm interested.
But I see no cpanel option into your dedicated order form.If I would like to add cpanel, what should I do? request it after received root password or at the first time we post an order?

On the signup form, you get an option for comments, specify it there, or contact me before hand, and i will add it to your signup.

Either way would work...

Most datacenters around the country. I'm in the equinix datacenter and I get it for 50$ a MBps. 400$ for 10mbit. And that's not a bulk rate.

I know other people on these boards with their own datacenters, and getting it around the price I do. 64$ seems to be the going rate.

Ah.... the prices your quoting are as a competitor and not as a potential customer?

I appreciate your prices, but if you are a competitor then please choose another thread to post your prices on, Thank You.

As, it happens to be I'm not in the equinix datacenter I am in the Atlanta datacenter, as long as the service is good price wont matter to much. (in my opinion, i dont want to start a debate on this thread please, thankyou.)

The information is this thread is for potential customers, and not for competitors. :stickout


Regards
Imran

P.S. dont turn this into a flame or an argument, like I said the information is for potential customers.

BTW - I PM'd you.

I'll tell everybody:

I'm not trying to steal your business. I don't even offer colocated or dedicated services to the public.

I just find it a) you're overpaying by alot b) you're making alot of money off it. Either .. or, aslong as you're happy. Whatever floats your boat!

I dont think you read my post, I clearly states that IF your a competitor then...... otherwise ignore what I said :D

No hard feelings, life is already tooooo complicated, it dosent require us to make it even more complicated ;)

Yes, life is complicated.

Anyways..

Goodluck with your business :)

Back on topic, would potential customers be interested in SCSI system at all, or is IDE good enough these days?

Can you give me a price on

Dual 1ghz
1gm ram
36gb SCSI drive
60gb ide backup drive
cpanel
Dual nic cards(so if i had additional servers i could have an internal network set up for backup purposes)


Also do you have similar servers in the uk?

Though I don't mean to crap or disturb this thread, but I wish I could get the server Alan is requesting a quote on :)

Ok, back to something else.

There might be better prices for Cogent only elsewhere... in fact, I've seen some here on this board. Except they usually have one or more severe downsides -- at one, for instance, you risk getting your server placed on the carpet in a normal office, not a real data center with real security, real hardware, and real support 24/7.

From what I've seen, too, sailor (and thus partner cabalstudios) is very careful about pricing. He likes to make sure he doesn't oversell by much, and that fees can pay for all overhead. His plan is simple: sell at the lowest price possible WITHOUT driving themselves out of business. He's also concerned about an eventual price hike by Cogent at the wholesale level, and may just want to be covering his ass.

You gotta realize, too, that the difference between what they buy it for at their data center, plus overhead, and what they sell it for to their clients is profit. And I don't know about you, but I want the team that works on my server to be able eat nutritious food, buy clothes, and have enough money left over to lead a happy, fulfilling life. :)

The prices for multihomed, though, are great, especially for BGP4, tuned routes through multiple providers including Aleron/Agis/Telia, and private peering (Netrail, Qwest, etc. from what I've seen). And their data center and service is pro-level. This is a pro level service at a bargain basement price. And as we know, some of the bargain basement prices we see here on WHT really DO buy you a server in a basement. hehehe

Long story short -- I've dealt with lots of providers for almost 8 years now... And I've never before seen such a professional one at such a low price. Sure, RS was the first low price leader, and low service leader. But these guys are the first low price, high service leader -- that have that unique lock on the market presently.

They may be a CPanel reseller so they could offer it at lower price.

Sorry for the late reply was getting the latest prices from our suppliers

$214 monthly and $1100 setup or... $174 monthly and 1310 setup.

No not yet, we are hoping to open a european data center facility soon.

Imran,

Please check your PM - I Emailed you for a 'custom' solution, and you asked for IM info.

It's in there... :)

does any one know how long it takes to get IPs assigned ?

Did any one buy from eservers and requested IPs?

It's taking a looooong time just to get IPs and wanted to know if it's normal to wait 8 days and counting just to get IPs.

:angry:

:angry:

Ours took about a week, I am still waiting for a date for a new dedicated server (dual processor) and no eta has been given. I need it asap and the 15th April deadline (as given in early april has passed now)... considering my options.

After reading through the postings and now being a month later, I was curious as to how people made out with their "deals" and IP quandries? Myacen, did you ever get that Server setup or did you go somewhere else?
