I wish I was thinking about starting a hosting business or my own business for that matter when I was 14. :D

I tried to get to the site but got a 'Cannot find server' . Guess it was good while it lasted.

maybe they host it on cogent bandwidth server with 10 mbits link, so it never went out of limit and you get all the packet loss? :rolleyes:

OH yah wait till I'm on the market, then I'm going to offer Googabity for 12.95 per year
( announcer voice )
Yes that's right, you can have your own Googabity of bandwidth for 12.95 per year, call 1-800-555-1212

lower voice very fast speaking
all order are subject to surcharges of 1 server setup 20,000, bandwidht connnection 2.7 million, disk space 800 per megabyte.

loud voice again

Yes yes yes, come and order now.....




UNITS OF MEASUREMENT ( i think i got it correct )

bit = smallest unit of digital information, i.e. ones & zeros
byte = a set of bits
Bps = bits per second
Kbps = kilobits per second =1000 bits per second
Mbps = Million bits per second =1,000,000 bits per second
Gbps = Gigabits per second = 1,000,000,000 (one billion)
bits per second
Tbps = Terabits per second = 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion)
bits per second
Ebps = Exabits per second = 2^40 bits per second
Pbps = Petabits per second = 2^50 bits per second
Zbps = Zettabits per second = 2^70 bits per second
Ypbs = Yottabits per second = 2^80 bits per second
Obps = Googabity pers second = 2^100 bits per second

In theory, the kid could have one of the unmetered rackshack servers. But I guess we know better than that.

yea, you were kidding.

they appearantly have something to do with netmar.com. dedicated box or something.

i'm tracing into sprintlink, to netmar, then my hops are jumping up to over 150ms and i time out.
