Hi,

Can you explain further what is meant by 10 mpbs unmetered? Is it like 3300 GB per month?

What is max RAM server can take? How much for extra 1 GB RAM?

How about for extra 40 GB/80 GB HD? And 40 GB --> 80 GB upgrade?

How long does it take for setup?

Any system software routine upgrade?

Thanks

Frank

Each server is un-metered up to 10mbps so say for arguments sake 1mbps is 300GB then each server has 3000GB - which is a lot of bandwidth!

Max ram is 1GB
We can do a 60GB HD for an extra $10 per month

So you can upgrade to 60GB HD for an extra $10 monthly which is quite reasonable.

For large HD's i can get back to you with a correct price.

As mentioned we are doing a full launch on the 1st April - 13 days away....these will be ready 7days from ordering if not before. Each server is built and tested which means no problems for the both of us.

We will upon the release of stable and tested software upgrade servers. But alas server upgrades can be a tricky business. This has to be done with the understanding that the software has to be relatively bug free.....If i mention Cobalt updates then you will see what i mean!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

From your original post:

<<<<<

AMD Duron 1.2ghz, 1GB Ram, 40GB IDE, Redhat 7.2

>>>>>>>>

Meaning server comes with 1 GB RAM and so it is not an upgrade. That seesms to contradict with your last post:

<<<<<<<<<<
Max ram is 1GB which is an extra $20 per month
>>>>>>>>>>

Please clarify

Thanks

Frank

Sorry .....was looking at some other information whilst replying. 1GB ram is the max for this server (we also have 512 ram servers-hence the mistake)

Sorry about the mistake.

Just got the prices for dual hardrives and larger drives

2x40GB HD with the mentioned server extra $20 per month
2x80GB HD with the mentioned server extra $35 per month

1GB Ram is the max on these servers.

Would you be able to do this offer with a pIII server instead of amd?

well we can match the deal at rackshack if this is what your looking for.

pIII 1ghz, 40GB HD, 1GB RAM

or we can do one of the following

amd xp 1800
celeron

or a duron system as mentioned in the original advert.

you can also add on another harddrive but with an extra fee.

Cpanel is now included with every server

We have put one of these servers up on ebay for you all to bid upon.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2011087768

Also we have reduced the setup fee by $100 to $299 and cpanel is now included.

for the Athlons w/ 1 GB RAM (like the duron has listed).

we can do a athlon 1.4 with 1gb ram or

xp1800 for $299 setup

whos your major backbone connections and whats your redunancy?

hummm

The backbone for these is Cogent and Epik. Epik uses Level3 for a lot of their routes.

JMR,

What kind of price can you give me if we wanted 2 or 3 of your servers?

let me know asap

F

A good price?

Well for a un-metered 10mbps server the price is very good!

If you buy two then we can knock a further $25 per month so this would equal $374 pre month per server

If you buy three then we will knock $40 per month off so this will equal $359 per month per server.

The setup fee is as low as we are willing to go though :)

This looks like the same deal as the serveroutsource.net guys.

yes its the same datacenter and the same bandwidth.

we have had little signup on these which is quite suprising as it is a good deal. So 6 of these are still available if your interested.

yep, really looks like a good deal ...
if i would only have some bucks left for a second server ;-))
anyway ... could you provide us with a file to download, because i wonder how the speed of this epik/level3 connection looks like to Europe ... would be nice.

"...we have had little signup on these which is quite suprising as it is a good deal..."

You might consider to either allow adult or not. As it is now it is just plain useless for adult hosting.

I would do a poll (in another forum) and ask how many people would use 3300 gigs of bandwidth in a month (or approximately that i know there's always people trying to pinpoint that down to an exact number but it's close).

It's a good deal yes, and some people will want it just in case they go over. But however it's not often people even use the 300-400 gigs being offered by hosts today. That's why the amount of bandwidth being offered keeps going up (yes costs go down too) but as RS points out on their offerings, it's all marketing gimick because few are using all their allotment.

I would be interested in one of your 10mb servers but I am concerned if I have that many domains (assuming I'm doing virtual hosting) to pull that much bandwidth, can the hardware handle that much load? There could be 10 forums on it with thousands of visitors a day/week and 1 gig of ram and dual cpu I think is going to affect it. So can a server TYPICALLY use that much bandwidth? There is always the exception of course. By the time I have a server that reaches 1000+ gigs of bw in a month, the performance starts to suffer (I rarely load a server that much anyway since servers are so cheap to just setup a second one and relieve the load and I never setup a reseller's server with that much usage).

What experiences have you seen with a heavily loaded 10mb dedicated machine?

Yes, I agree with Rastoma. No matter how good the hardware...it can't only take so much. IMO I think that you think that people won't use this much bandwidth, but I know I could if I knew I had it.

Firstly Adult hosting is allowed - so for one of these machines a large adult host would benefit from the bandwidth at this price.

The thing with Adult hosting is we ask that you keep it legal. Nothing that can hurt minor's and with this in mind also that you have a entry page which means that minors cannot get to the content. Which is perfectly reasonable. I dont mind hosting it but i do mind it being available to those that are too young to see it.

Secondly - Hands up Yes you got me! Indeed the 10mbps is a marketing gimic on one hand but as mentioned above a large popular adult host would use a great deal more bandwidth than the average 300GB.

So would a shareware/download site. Okay im not looking to host Tucows or Download.com :) but there are lots of large sites out there.

Overall the deal is this - if you have a large site that could fluctuate in bandwidth would you rather have a server that has the bandwidth included or have to pay varied overages monthly on top of your hosting bill.

As fo the hardware if you come to me with what you are doing then id suggest the best option. No i doubt the servers mentioned with the deal could handle a thousand popular forums. Most of the servers provided by hosts couldnt not for the rates that are being charged. But if you was asking for this then i would suggest a larger server - they do come in larger sizes you know!

For instance 4 x cpu and 6gb of ram and a handfull of SCSI drives would be somewhat more suitable! and no you wouldnt get this at the price stated:D

Yes you're right too :) But you can't oversell a dedicated connection. On virtual hosting or standard dedicated servers you can oversell because not everyone uses it all as we know. But you can use that same principle when you advertise a dedicated port.. you can't put 20 machines on a 100mb connection and adveritise 10mb dedicated on each machine. I'm not saying this is what is being advertised here though. We all have to stop jumping and trying to beat RS everytime they come up with a new offer :)

But you advertised DEDICATED 10mbps connection. You're not advertising shared 10mb connections, so it can't be a gimick... every server sold must be able to pull a full 10mbps. So you're saying if everyone did it wouldn't handle it?

NO i meant that not everyone will use the bandwidth theres the marketing angle of it. THEY DO have THEIR OWN 10mbps PORT.

The marketing angle/gimic is that not everyone will use this. Even though they are on their own port if they all used this then it would cost me more due to the deal i have got on them having their own port.

It is basically down to the risk being taken that not all will be used. But if it is all used then we would still be able to cover the expense :)

Hi,jmr
I would like order one with
2x80GB HD ( extra $35 per month)
Could you please tell me:
1. when can you have this server up and run?
2. how do I pay for that?

jmr: just an off-side question:
Howcome your servers are such RackShack-look-a-likes ?
I first thought that you were reselling from them, but when you said you're in another datacenter, I completely didn't understand anymore... :eek:
Could you give some more info on why your products look exactly like RackShack etc. ? Thank you :) Your offer(s) is/are really nice! ;)

Kind regards,


Thomas

How compe people only consider "Adult sites" as high bandwidth :)

What about DOWNLOAD sites!

Put up a 100MB download or a 600MB download (CD-ROM) and you burn up 300GB real quick!

Demos of your game products, Linux CD-ROM's, etc....

StephenRS....we did cover the aspect of it not just being for Adult related sites....also download sites consume lots of bandwidth and this is also for this market. Adult sites make the money for the internet and are pretty much pioneers of the technology of the internet....sex sells!

Levi ....we are looking at 5-7 days to get this sorted for you...okay why the wait....the server is built for you and tested for you so all parties know that you get a server that works!

Defcon....RS have submitted the challenge to meet/beat them so we rose to that challenge. Nothing wrong with that....we just want to show that you dont have to be RS to be able to offer such deals and as they threw the gauntlet into the arena i dont see anyone else wishing to go heads up against them!

We can now also offer these servers with Plesk Unlimited domain licence too :) instead of cpanel if you wish!
