View Full Version : Rackshack's new machine is great

I had a cobalt (amd 450mhz 2x20GB IDE 512 MB ram) with rackshack, the site runs mainly a mod_perl application, every page view goes through mod_perl, the site was quite busy, dealing about 17 million page views a month, and frequently more requst coming in than the server can handle, and the whole thing goes to a downward spiral as the server enters a thrashing state, it becomes completely non-responsive, the load average goes to > 25, there is no memory left to launch a login session, and the server has to be rebooted .

I ordered a new machine with 1.3 GHZ celeron and 512 MB ram ($99/$99), so far it's handling abut 700,000 page views a day, and the CPU usage is only about 20%! I have no doubt, this site will soon goes to > 1 million page views a day, as it has become more responsive and reliable.

"This new rackshack server is great!" there are hundreds of rackshack recommendations in that forum. rackshack is one of just a few in the hosting-buz, that does not need that type of advertisement, you are trying to assume here

Humm, and in the battle of the centure, it's RACKSHACK in the red corner, VS. Microsoft in the blue corner for DOMINATION OF THE INTERNET!

Man, i think i'm one of the little threads weaving the stage together, if you get a microscope you can see the little guys!

You guys are paranoid!

i dont know why you even bother responding to half the sh1te in here Robert...

Its so obvious people are pissed because they cant come close to competing but seem content on lame 'reasons' why not to use RS....

The olde green eyed monster strikes big time.....

Ok.. I got a lot of posts and last time I looked, I have never seen a check from Rackshack in my mailbox either.. In fact, I'm a poor barsteward trying to make ends meet who had to change from his credit card to his debit card to pay his bill at RS..

And I'm damn happy with both my boxes that I can't afford even at the great rate there!

I've got a client sucking my bandwidth to the point I'd be selling everything I own to pay for it anywhere else, a very stable little trooper of a bleuebox chuffing along and a brand new Compaq in the process of "burning in" and getting ready to accept sites...

Network rocks, most of the staff I've dealt with rocks, machines that I've used there rock!

Wanna call me for proof? PM me and I'll send ya my phone number.. it ain't in TX and I ain't no shill... Just a guy who's real happy about paying the same amount for two servers that I can't afford that I used to pay for one server that I couldn't afford..

Shortz :nuts:
PS.. HS.. can we get some of deez krazy smilies over at the RS forum!!!

All clocker1996 said was he was looking through the new posts and saw those two next to each other and found it funny. I would have found it funny too if I saw that. He never said RackShack created or endorsed that thread. He never said it was suspicious. He never said there was any kind of conspiracy. Why does everyone have to assume here? Stop turning every RackShack thread into a flame war. It's literally making me sick.

Web Master 2: If you're happy with RackShack, then good! :) Congratualtions on your new server.

I have a lot of interest in RackShack.

No, I am not a rackshack stock owner, nor get paid by them, I am just one RS customer who was disgusted by those posting stuff bashing RS with no basis. It 's inconceivable that those bashers are not doing the bashing for their own benefit.

I am praising RS because
1) I want to have the truth known, especially to those less informed and less experienced
2) I want RS to stay in business, so I can continue to enjoy their service
