Do you have a test download / IP?
How much traffic could I expect on such shared port? My clients are all American, how much GB per month would I be able to push to them?

Which network (transit) links are available?

Your site does not have any indication of which provider you use for traffic. Are these servers all in France? US? :confused:

Hello,

Transit IP: Level3, Global Crossing, FreeIX, Abovenet...
100mbps unmetered bandwidth (approx.: 33000GB upload/download)
Test file: go here (http://88.191.11.103/10mo-file)

DediboxWorld Servers are all located in France, in Paris in high datacenter.
Our others servers are located in USA.

Best Regards,

Thank you.

100mbps unmetered bandwidth (approx.: 33000GB upload/download)
I know that 100Mbit stands for 33TB on full usage. However due to the low price I am guessing this is not a dedicated 100Mbit line. Those usually cost well beyond $1000 per month.

So I was wondering how many servers share 100Mbit of internet bandwidth? I other words: How much traffic would be guranteed?

Yes, this is a great offer !
Dedibox guarantee 100Mbps (full line), with 1IP per server.
No contract. Monthly renew only.

Best Regards,

Do you accept paypal? The web site has very little information on signup info and requirements.

ouch thats good offer!

Paid @ 7.36pm

Brilliant !!

(though you guys seem to of put wrong IP in the welcome email? I got correct IP from the control panel :) )

do u have a link to your tos /aup are more ips availible?

I'd like to see this too and please clarify:

You guarantee a shared or dedicated 100mbps line for 59.95?


Dedibox guarantee 100Mbps (full line)

do u have a link to your tos /aup are more ips availible?

Hello,

Yes, Dedibox guarantee a dedicated 100mbps line for just $59,95/month.

We suspends the orders because we received important orders this last days (very interesting offer).
We are in the course of resupplying (approximately 7 days).
You can join on our website (completely FREE) and please send us (by email) a request (to reserve your DediboxWorld) if you're interested.
People who have already asked DediboxWorld on our control panel but who didn't pay are already reserved. Please wait some days.
All the current orders which were paid are in the course of delivery.

Best Regards,

Wish you had said that before i put money in my account, only reason i was really after this server is because you had stock but appears that isnt the case :(

Hello back,

Well we just put new servers in production, we should be available to deliver some at the end of the day. We deliver servers in the order of orders.

Thanks for your comprehension,

Best Regards,

Good to hear, i submitted a helpdesk ticket about it before, havent gotten a reply but i really hope i can get a server today, been waiting 3 weeks for a server and this is something to tide me over til thats up, or maybe a good secondary server

I understand. We'll do w/e we can to deliver as soon as possible the made orders!

Thanks =)

You still have not addressed the two previous requests for TOS and IP's.

Hello,

You can find our TOS here : http://www.bestofdata.com/?x=tos

All servers are delivered with one UNIQUE IP. Actually, we cannot deliver more IPs.

Thanks for your comprehension,
BESTOFDATA LLC

In your TOS it says NO IRC SERVERS OF ANY KIND but in your FAQ it says
Q: I want to host an IRC service, am I allowed?
A: Yes we allow IRC services as long as they are not in violation of France and the European Union laws.

Am i to understand u dont allow an irc server but allow other irc services to be on the box?

Hello,

Sorry for this error, we have modified the FAQ page. Dedibox.fr does not allow any IRC services.

And, yes it is possible to get 100Mbps from these servers.

BESTOFDATA

So, 10 servers = 1Gbit
59$ x 10 = 590$ /month = 460 EUR /month = approx 1/2 the actual price of 1Gbit?

I wish you best of luck staying in business ;)

59$ x 10 = 590$ /month = 460 EUR /month = approx 1/20 the actual price of 1Gbit :)

Although I do know that France is kind of a 'bandwidth heaven' due to the many local peer options. Which are cheap :)

You are correct Xandrios, peering is very open in france. Our bandwidth providers have many peering agreements aswell as many transit providers. Also you must remember that not every customer will use their 100Megabit circuit 24/7!

Requards

no good to me with only 1 ip would have been great if had at least two cant do webhosting with nameserver on one ip

I do agree that multiple IP's are needed for webhosting, but not for nameservers. What is the use of running both primary and secondary nameserver on the same server? That is not how its supposed to be set up...

when i resell customers request ips for nameservers

Please, PM me with the prices for HDD upgrades. Thanks.

Paid @ 7.36pm
Recieved Server info at @ 8.11pm SAME DAY :D

(though you guys seem to of put wrong IP in the welcome email? I got correct IP from the control panel :) )

Hey can I ask you to post the "bogomips" of the VIA CPU from the /proc/cpuinfo if you don't mind? I know its about equal to a P3-1200 but just wanted to see how linux sees it. :cool:

<< Opinion Deleted >>

Is it 100mbps dedicated or 100mbps shared?

Dedibox.fr guarantee a full 100Mbps dedicated line.

About HDD Upgrades, actually it is not possible. But you can get a 160Gb HDD backup for $15/month.

We just put a new filetest download of 370Mb here:

http://88.191.15.136/370mb.bin

Hopefully it'll be good for you =)

So are these boxes available immediately again or not? I thought yesterday you said you ran out and nothing available for about a week?

I will be ordering one of these baby's as soon as you tell me they are back in stock!!
Et d'ailleurs, Je parle français.

Dedibox.fr guarantee a full 100Mbps dedicated line.
if this sis true why is there extra charges foranything that would use that kind of bandwith like streaming?

if this sis true why is there extra charges foranything that would use that kind of bandwith like streaming?
What are you talking about? Link or quote to that please.

if this sis true why is there extra charges foranything that would use that kind of bandwith like streaming? i cannot find link to this but im almost certain it said this yesterday when i looked maybe best ofdata could clear this up sorry for any confusion caused

Oh ok.

Cant WAIT for the new servers, please reserve one for me (I have the money, just dont wanna be on the bad end of a scam)!

They say u can use it for gameservers and streaming media in the first post, so i would assume that u can, while the dedicated server may or may not have a full 100mbps dedicated pipe its pretty fast as we have discovered.

Hopefully i get my server today, i was most likely one of the first to order when the form opened again due to the fact i was on helpdesk asking why it wasnt open and then it opened when i said it wasnt heh.

Hello everyone,

We expect to have more servers today or tommorw, we will update this thread once we are taking new orders and have filled all reserved orders.

Best Regards,
BESTOFDATALLC

You can only get one of these if you live in France?

Anyone in any country may buy DediBoxWorld servers.

Best Regards,
BESTOFDATALLC

Any updates if they are coming today?

I cant believe that they have a dedicated 100mbit/s connection for that price. I'm sure we'll soon find out.

What are exactly the "added services" that you give us above dedibox.fr?
I'm reading the web and I see the same that you've posted here.

Also, I haven't read that the 100 mbits are dedicated (unshared) in their web ... is it the difference?

ptfff: Sorry, we have not recived them yet.

GavB: This has been discussed before, our providers have over 30gbits in peering and even more in additional transit providers.

Paco: Please read our FAQ.

Best Regards,
BESTOFDATALLC

Sorry, didnt mean to sound like i don't believe you, I wouldnt have ordered it if I didnt.

Look forward to hearing from you.

GavB: Sorry about that, i was not saying it in a mean way or anything :)

Ok, I just purchased one of these servers from another provider that has them in stock. I will report speeds of the network, I was talking with the dedibox.fr people in IRC and most seem really happy with it.

Dedibox.fr has been around for 5 months, but it is actually part of a large company so it should stick around.

To clearify, dedibox.fr told me that it is NOT dedicated 100mbps, but on the servers they get around 50mbps to 80mbps almost all the time. Also they said it has never dropped to about 5mbps per server, so I think it should be good!

I will be sure to write a review once it is setup.

I have seen transfer graphs from customers of dedibox.fr but I cant link to them because I have only made 4 posts in here lol

And as if by magic, here is one of them http://www.heesh.net/maydia_graph.png

Yep I saw that also.

Hi bestofdata,

Your cPanel price is quite expensive. Would you install a free control panel like Webmin?

Test files are not working...

Edit: Never mind, find the newest link.

Hi,

There must have been a misunderstanding, We were told that they use only 100mbit dedicated circuits for their servers. I've also seen MRTG graphs of over 20 dedibox servers, most of them using 30+mbit, some all the way up to 100 without any problems.

We are in the process of negotiating with CPanel so we can offer it to our customers of dedibox at a discount rate.

Thanks,
BESTOFDATA LLC

We were told that they use only 100mbit dedicated circuits for their servers.
Well, that is probably correct. But the 'dedicated' part ends at their backbone. They do not have 1000Mbit of backbone capacity for every 10 servers.

Nothing wrong with that btw, its how all host work :)

Do we get MRTG graphs with your service as well bestofdata?

GavB: We dont offer MRTG with our servers at the time, we hope to offer it aswell as remote reboots by telephone, and web sometime in early November.

However, MRTG can be installed easly using this tutorial from DirectAdmin, http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=7843 It works on all servers, you would just have to install the gcc, GD librays, Apche, and then configure a apache vhost to the location of the mrtgs.

Well it looks like they didnt come in yesterday, so hopefully today but im not expecting it cause im getting used to companies pushing dates back constantly

12hrs since my last message and nothing, so hopefully they are busy setting it all up but i wouldnt know i can only hope, any one else heard anything?

Well they said wednesday, and maybe earlier. As far as I know its still tuesday ;)

As far as i know its 1pm in France where the servers are and whatever time in the US where their office is, if its in the US

They told me it would be set up by the 5th or 6th a few days ago. So fingers crossed, today :D

Hello, we are still waiting for the delivery of Dedibox to come. Don't worry, we'll deliver AS soon as we have the servers in our hands.

About warez : it is TOTALLY FORBIDDEN. We don't allow illegal content. We allow legal adult content: i mean content you paid for copyrights, and use.

Thanks for your comprehension.

BESTOFDATA LLC

Hi,

Do you guys offer extra ip addresses on the servers? Not for free, paid. Also, is there any kind of ddos protection on these servers?

Regards,

Hello eugeniopacheco,

No, we cannot provide more than 1 IP address, sorry this is due to limited IP's, and currently we dont offer DDoS protection.

Thanks.

and hopefully today is the day they come but im doubtful

I _really_ like your admin interface! Just purchased a box.. any idea on eta? (I know you're still waiting for stock, so no worry!)

Merci bien!

Thank you Jeolio :) We are glad to hear that from customers :P

ETA is still in the hands of Dedibox.fr actually. So waiting :)

Regards.

Kinda suprising that they make u wait so long without a solid ETA, unless of course u arent telling us everything but one can only hope its soon cause i dont really have much other use with the money i put in, on your website

What is the ETA on these servers?
How about calling them and check to see when they are going to arrive!
Im sure it will be worth it for your customers who are worrying :D

What I understood was that servers were setup on Fridays. Thats what my guy told me.

I was told it would be the 5th or 6th when I signed up.

I think steadyhosting has a point, it would be a good idea to ring dedibox to find out when they will be set up just so we know.

Well, according to the Dedibox.fr site they should've recieved the orders on the 5th and then returned to normal after that, which is 72hr setup time at most, thats all i know, so i guess the best thing to do is be patient or learn french

Im on IRC with dedibox.fr and I speak french. I do NOT have a french bank account, so I cannot order directly. If anyone has any questions, point em to me on MSN or AIM, I bet I will be able to answer quicker :P

Thank you Jeolio :) We are glad to hear that from customers :P

I just register.
can i pay now ?

macgyvers: Yes you can pay now, we will deliver the servers when we recive them tommorw, (we've been assured by our provider tommorw we will have the servers).

lol, well good luck with that, good to see someone benfiting from what i post and i wouldnt say they are mistakes just taking awhile to come around

We are very sorry for the wait times, but be assured you have not made a mistake. :)

Well i have already with the simple fact that i thought i could run IRC on the box :P but yea, just keep up the appearances and update us whenever you get info and it should be good

Alls I know is I purchased a box from them on saturday night (USA day), and they quoted me Friday (FRENCH friday). 8 hour difference between them and me, I should have it later tomorrow or friday morning :)

My best bet is to expect you box around the same time. ptfff if you want come and join me in IRC, irc.dedibox.com irc.gamesurge.net or irc.rizon.net and I can tell you EVERYTHING I have found out from speaking with them over IRC and their direct customers.

Hello whoever Markimus is, I got your messages. I sleep during the night, I have school during the day :P

Done .....

So are the new servers in yet or has the ETA been changed?

I have no idea, but servers are not in. Maybe bestofdata can shed some light.
Dedibox.fr has a 72 hour setup period, monday-friday 9am - 6pm UTC+1.

Currently, delivery is quoted at a little over a week, and "Delivery of the majority of the server on standby this Thursday September 7 and Friday September 8."
Could be a miss translation, or could be something lost in translation. Who knows, I was quoted from another reseller this friday also so that seems to be the information resellers are getting...

Just to clearify, the datacenter is responcible for setting up your server, including pre-installing Apache2, Postfix, Courier-pop, Bind9, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Proftpd, PHP, Perl, and Webmin. Also, they are responsible for the DNS system management and setup.

Also bestofdata I have some network and datacenter information if you want it, feel free to contact me in any of the mothods I listed in the PM.

Well, that's just a default install. Can be loaded from an image, doesnt have to take more than 10 minutes :)

Care to share here? Guess we'll all intersted in some extra info :)

Sure!
By the way, my reseller just received the server and is doing "diagnostic tests", whatever that means (Said its going to take 10 hours more!!!).

Anyways, here are the reasons these servers cost so cheap!!!
Each computer uses a TINY 15watts! Custom made VIA C7 2.0ghz processors, custom made just for them supposedly with 800MHz fsb. 1024mb of DDR2 and a SATA2 160gb Seagate Baraccude ST3160812AS. The computer is custom built by Dedibox co, with a custom case. These are designed FANLESS, using JUST the ambient air conditioning systems. Also, these servers are made of completely RoHS complaint components. VIA CN700 NorthBrdige, VIA VT8237R Plus SouthBridge. Via Velocity VT6122 GigabitEthernet. Network flashable bios.

On to the network: located in Paris, France. Power supplied via redundant branch from a 5MW line, 5 groups of 2500KVA. 12 UPS 400KVA each.
51 air units, 102 compressors (idk what thats all about, maybe bad translation)

Armored panes covering the building, armored doors, viometric authentication, 180 cameras which all are 360 degree (im assuming dome cameras in the ceiling).

Network now has 20GBIT coming in, no idea how much is actually being used. All bandwidth is coming from a french ISP "Proxad", which both dedibox and proxad are part of the illiad group. Proxad, aka Free, traffic diagram (no idea where we fit into the picture: http://support.free.fr/reseau/idf.png ). I can do some more reseach on their networking if requested, I get thrown in over level3, one hop, then the datacenter.

Routing Core: two Cisco Catalyst 6509
Routing distribution: Cisco Catalyst 4948-10GE
Distribution: Cisco Catalyst 2960G
**100 Mbit/sec full-duplex** (Contradicting information, I guess now it IS dedicated)
1 fixed address by server, vlan dynamic assigned.

I have even MORE in depth info if you want... LOL

All I really wanted to know is how soon and fast I can expect to get a server up and running with ssh access. I really don't want to deposit $59.95 in their account and sit and twiddle my thumbs if they give a vague estimate of 1 week for setting up the server. It would just be nice to see them come here and say they have 20 servers ready..and then I go to their site and in 10 minutes pay for a server.

But this relayed message just makes no sense. Are the servers physically delivered somewhere now? Technical problems attaching them to the net? I think I will just wait for the OP to just announce servers are ready. Unfortunately, this being such a hot deal they are getting sold before even being delivered so who knows what kind of a time window I will have to grab one.

Hello wormy,

Please dont be angry we are doing our best to get the orders filled as soon as we've recived our servers, we've ordered plenty of extra servers so we should have a good stock once we've recived them friday morning hopefully.

Thanks for your post neoific, great info.

I am not angry at all, just anxious. I don't blame anyone since nobody is doing any of this deliberately its just confusion going around. I was just trying to get a more clear picture of what is really going on.

Oh, glad you arent mad :), We are sorry for the confusion, and are working on making it not so confusing in the future.

BESTOFDATA LLC

Can someone tell me what Dedibox give you when you get your server delivered to you?

For example :

1. What do they install (sofware based) on yoru server as standard for you?

2. What they advice you to do regarding the issue of 1 IP address like how the hell to setup name servers with just 1 IP?

3. A List of Stuff You Got Or A List Of Stuff You Have Access To (Someone Post The Email They Sent You Which Would Be Even Better)

------

Finally as someone who knows absulutly nothing about Linux. As I will most likly order one of these servers whats the best thing to do If I know no linux coding. Is there a GUI side of linux I can use like a beta of some sort which will make things slightly easier for me?

Kind Regards,


1) Loads of different flavours of linux

2) Well, I always suggest having a secondary separate namesever, but you will need 2 IPs if you want to host on the same box.. not sure this is possible with these boxes (as I think you are only allocated 1 IP)

3) No idea what you mean?

I'd suggest doing some reading if you know no linux. Unix in general is the best (and only i.m.n.s.h.o.) server environment. You can tunnel Xwindows sessions over SSH (b.t.w X.org etc.. sure ain't beta!) but I can't see the point in you doing this for a sever.. Xorg would just eat up into your CPU. I'd just use a control panel or webmin for admin task (well personally I'd just use SSH but stull)

What's the deal then? Have the servers arrived?

Hello,

We are awaiting the servers today, we hope to have them demployed today.

Thats good news.
I will keep this post updated once i get my server today.

Well they have exactly 4 minutes to deliver the servers, since Dedibox.fr is going on their weekend break at 6PM ;) I dont expect we'll have the servers anytime soon to be honest...

@ Xandrios
Lets hope so as we have waited long enough now and today is the last chance for them before things start getting nasty.

Ordered mine on Sunday, this is getting silly

I hope we are not getting charged for the week we don't have our servers...

Hello,

Dedibox gives us another one moment of wait(1days).
No, you'll not be charged of this week.
We sell the DediboxWorld only when we deliver these.
Don't worry. We don't forget you.

Thanks,

Traducteur de Nice, BestOfData.

Cela n'a semble presque aucun raisonnable.

The company I ordered from received a batch of servers last night, getting mine in today.

I just can't wait to be kinggggggg duna na na na na na naaa naaa naaaa an... LOL

you have been telling us the next and and the next day for over a week now,
and yet you say "Today" they will be ready yet wait until the end of the day and say "we wait another day", This isnt the way business works my friend and promising to supply services and taking money yet not doing so is called fraud "Obtaining funds by decption".
Sure we will wait 1day until tomorrow then i will be requesting you are banned from posting on this forum as so far you have shown us lies and that you are taking funds from users yet not supplying the service.

steadyhosting, I'm sorry you are angry, but having a bad attitude on a public web forums is unnecessary. I'm very sorry that we have been delayed by our provider, but we are waiting just as anxiously you to get the servers deployed.

Why have you not answered my PM?

Sorry racknetz, didnt see your PM.

@ BestOfData

Well when i see my server tomorrow "1 day" then maybe i will have a reason not to have a attuide, but so far im basicly telling it as it is. If the "1 day" you said dont work out this time then refund the people who wants it including me to show you are not just taking money then.

Hello,

Dedibox gives us another one moment of wait(1days).
No, you'll not be charged of this week.
We sell the DediboxWorld only when we deliver these.
Don't worry. We don't forget you.
Thanks,
They are being delivered on a saturday? Or monday?

No problem M8. I See Your Busy. However I Full Agree With Everyone Here.

I totaly agree that people get frusterated at long waits, i can understand, there are many fruadsters out there.

Regards
BESTOFDATA LLC

Could you please specify if the servers will be delivered the next working day (Meaning: Monday) or tomorrow (Saturday)?

Cause I think a lot of people do want a clear date now.

Hello,

We spoke directly with the dedbox administartion today and they did infact say 1 more day. So that would be saturday.

BESTOFDATA LLC

BOD: I am back now, as Ive said before I am gone untill 4pm weekdays. School.

Everyone must remember: the fault is dedibox.fr

We are all in the same boat. Their setup speeds have slowed since last month.

Well today i recived my server infomation (faints)
Shame about the long wait time or i might have ordered another 3
anyway thank you bestofdata seems you did supply the goods :)
Will try and post a review of the service in a month.

Oh yes, should get mine today as well then hopefully :D

Are there enough of these now to safely place a brand new order? See all you people who say they got yours have prepaid by a week but I have been holding back on my payment until there is stock. I have a feeling if I pay its going to take until Monday to see the box but not sure. Can bestofdata clarify availablity and speed of provisioning?

For the record: Got mine also today. Seems to be running great so far :)

Are their techs working on the weekend to get this set up? I am just surprised their rep did not come online and say "the servers are here" after spending a whole week coming here and saying they were not here yet lol.

Hi WHT members,

We worked all night, to assign new successful Dedibox.
We've another 5 Dediboxworld in wait, these should be delivered on Monday (normaly).
We opened again the request on our control panel.
All requests will be delivered, don't worry. We're a reliable company.
We wait a new order of 20 Dedibox.

Best Regards,

I Will Order ON Monday!

My server is in french, I don't speak french :(

Also they said it has never dropped to about 5mbps per server, so I think it should be good!

I will be sure to write a review once it is setup.
do you mean 50mbps?

This is an unbeatable price! I want to know why you are reselling it at the same price as dedibox.fr if you are a reseller?

They are marking the servers up from something like 29 euros a box I think. Dedibox.fr does not sell these servers to anyone residing outside of france so I guess thats where they come in.

Thast correct wormy but also don't forget that there are many resellers for dedibox. It's all about the support offered aswell as the dedibox.fr support team is French speaking and only gives support to those who ordered inside of the french capital i belive. I could be wrong but thats what I think anyway LOL!

Oh, that's why. I was under the assumption that www.dediboxinternational.com is the same company. same prices, now I realize they are different lol

wow, I'm getting close to 800kbytes/s from new york city. But, I only reach 290kbytes/s from my box at sago.

http://88.191.15.136/370mb.bin

My server is in french, I don't speak french :(
You didn't say which OS you have, so for CentOS, Fedora and probably a few others, login to a shell then edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n and for US English change it to:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
The next shell you open should be English.

Hi WHT Members,

Dedibox is an irreproachable offer for its price that's why we proposes to the World.

Dediboxinternational.com doesn't belong to us, it's French competitors (Eklypse SARL = french company).

To information, we work 7/7 to satisfy at most our customers, so if we receive new Dedibox, you will be delivered as soon as possible.

ANewDay: I'm sur, DediboxWorld is better than Sagonet.com ;) (for its price). Dedibox uses the best french backbones & peering.

Best Regards,

http://88.191.15.136/370mb.bin

Running the test from my box i got i get 10mb/s, from my box in germany i get 5mb/s but i usually see between 500-1mb/s for stuff sometimes lower

runing test from my own pc i max out my cable in uk pity cant have more then 1 ip

Well if you do a few traceroutes the speeds can easily be explained.

Traceroute to
Germany: proxad.net --> de-cix --> host network
Holland: proxad.net --> AMS-IX --> host network
United Kingdom: proxad.net --> LINX --> host network
United States: proxad.net --> above / teleglobe / Level3 --> host network

Notice the proxad network (free.fr). Proxad has connections to all major internet exchanges in europe. Which means: Bandwidth within Europe is extremely cheap.

Overseas goes over above, teleglobe and Level3. How they pull that off I still dont know ;) Since those are the more expensive transit providers. I havent seen the cheaper Cogent in traceroutes yet.

Might have something to do that, untill now, their largest customer base is based in France / Europe.

Hi is the box coming with any control panel ?
Plesk ? vhcs ?

Whm/cpanel ?

your cpanel : 45 usd per month is a bit too high

cheers,

BestOfData do you have any servers in stock right now? These idiots at dediboxinternational still havent given me my server. Bumped from thursday, to friday, to saturday, to sunday. I asked them when now, and they said it will be delivered tonight. Wtf? Its already 4:30pm at the datacenter.

Anyways, if you have any in stock I will give my money to you, Im tired of waiting.

Hello,

Neoific: Excuse but we are also stock out. We wait a new order of 20 Dedibox.
Macgyvers: We can install VHCS, ISPConfig, Webmin (soon: Maybe directadmin).

For our customers who received their dediboxworld: What do you think about DediboxWorld?

Best Regards,

Well, I got my server the other day and have been playing with it for a bit now.

I must say I am very impressed! I wansn't really expecting huge speeds from the box, but having downloaded some test ubuntu .iso's from a dutch server at 8MB/s!

01:31:52 (8.04 MB/s) - `ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso' saved [453132288/453132288]

The same .iso downloadedd from mirrorservice.org in the UK (where most of my users will be) came in at a very unexpected 4.5MB/s!

Downloads from across the pond from the US came in a mind melting 4MB/s (from ososul.org) and about 700K from another mirror (I think it may have been throttled?)

All in all seems to be quality bandwidth!

I can't say conclusively what load the box can handle, as for starters it's all subjective and also I've not finished my particular web app yet.. As soon as I've finished getting my lighttpd+django framework setup, I'll do some tests etc..

Hmm Not Bad, However Didn't They Say That Dedibox World Offer You 100Mbit Port Dedicated To You Which Means You Are The Only Server Using That 100Mbit. (So It's An Unshared Connection Like Most Providers) Hense The Reason And Only Reason Why Dedibox Is Getting Alot Of Attention Right Now.

My Question Is This : You Say You got Just Over 8Mbit Download Speed When Downloading From The Actual Server. Should'nt This Be Close to 100Mbit Download As Its A 100Mbit Port? I Mean If Yoru Only Getting 8Mbit's Sounds Like Your On A 10Mbit Port There Matey.

For Example I Have My Home Connection For Residential Customers From Blueyonder.co.uk & Telewest..co.uk Over Here IN The UK. I Have A 10Mbit Connection Which Is 10Mbit Download & 350k Upload.. I Know It's The Upload Speed Which is Most Important But I Still Am Very Wary About The Fact You Only Got 8mbit Download Speed On A 100Mbit Port Dedicated (Not Shared)

Someone Make A Graph That Shows The Servers Capabilities. Then Document What You Were Downloading At What Times. Try Peak And Off-Peak For Difference's.

Kind Regards,

Dude, I suggest you rethink that post

MB = MegaByte, not Mb which = Megabit

i.e. *8

;)

p.s. why the hell do you capitalize the first letter of every word?

I don't see any difference between how desiboxinternational is behaving towards you and how bestofdata is behaving in this thread to potential customers.

HA! LOL!

I see what you mean I do caps on every word. Wired only just noticed that now. Looks good anyway to me but I stop it now :D

Yup and thats very true! but very confusing at the same time I always see MB and Mb as the same thing. I totally forgot about the other meaning lol.

Might help to post a further explaination of what the difference is between MB and Mb for those who don't know.

Kind Regards,

He said hes downloading files from Germany to his server at 8mbps. Nothing about the servers Upstream, and nothing internal network.

I don't see any difference between how desiboxinternational is behaving towards you and how bestofdata is behaving in this thread to potential customers.

Just so you can all stop the "Whats the difference speach" I will tell you what I was told by DediboxInt.

Dediboxinternational is a company that resells bestofdata servers which is dedibox.fr

Dediboxint is a seperate company and in no way affiliated with dedibox.fr in anyway.

Dediboxint order from dedibox.fr and resell them. Why? Because its simple

- Dedibox.fr only sell to french customers. Dediboxint sells to other nations. The reason why dedibox.fr don't sell to other countries is because the support is given in their launguage (French)

-Dediboxint has English & French speaking employee's

I hope this simplifies things for you all.

LOL!

Well, it's very simple.. a MegaByte is an eigth of a Megabit (as there are 8bits in a byte).

Therefore the downloads at 8MB/s came in at 64Mbits/s. I'm very impressed by that speed. I'll do some upload tests to another box I've got in Germany, but I've got a feeling that box has traffic shaping on the upstream router.

LOL!
No it does not. We already know they[desiboxinternatiol.com and bestofdata] are resellers of dedibox.fr. Please do not try to simplify things again. :rolleyes:

P.S. just read my post again. All I said was I see no difference in the way in which dediboxinternational IS TREATING THAT GUY compared with how people are being treated in this thread. Ok? Thats called sarcasm. In case you have not noticed the people in this thread have been waiting a week for their servers too. And in both cases the problem is most likely caused by dedibox.fr

Wormy the difference is I ordered my server last sunday. If I would have ordered from DediBoxWorld I would have it already had it.

People here had to wait almost a week as well that was the point I was trying to make. And dediboxworld was also saying "next day, one more day, just a couple more days" to everyone here.

Personally I'm still confused as to how many prepaid people are waiting for those 20 boxes or what the current setup lag is for dediboxworld.

Hi,

Very few people wait.
If we see that we have too much orders, we close DediboxWorld orders.
We want at most to satisfy our customers.
If we make paid our customers, they will be delivered within week.

Thanks,

bestofdata, could you pm me with a traceroute to sagonet.com from a dedibox server? I want to see the latency and the hops. :)

PS I'm not comparing you guys with Sago, just want to see how the speeds are to my server.

Ok so if someone pays for a server today then when is the server going to be delivered? 1 week? I mean thats all people want to know. This order you have for 20 servers is going to be for all the prepaid orders you have waiting already today right now?

Well I Just ordered 2 Hours Ago. So I Guess We Wait And See. LOL!

ordered one !! Awaiting Setup :)

how do i get WHM/CPanel ?

I mean how do i order WHM/CPanel ?

how do i get WHM/CPanel ?

I mean how do i order WHM/CPanel ?

I think it's on their website.
but it is 45 usd per months :-(

if it is 20 USD maybe i will put also whm/cpanel ... hiks ... :-(

Where ? I don't see any option for Ordering WHM/CPanel

Hello,

Actually we cannot resell WHM/cPanel, you have to buy directly to a distributor of cPanel.

Thanks for your comprehension,
Regards.

Best of Data,

Can You Give Me An ETA On Server Setup?

Just thought I'd post here again, got my server on saturday and all seems well. I got a free control panel from http://www.zervex.com/ which has most of the basic features of cPanel anyway.

I've got a few shoutcast servers running on there and all seems good so far although I have only had it to a maximum of about 5Mbps. Will be testing it out properly soon...

Hello,

We have delivered 10 servers just a few minutes ago. We are waiting for another new delivery from DediboxWorld. It should be there by this night or tomorow.

No we don't. We deliver when we receive the servers.

I can confirm some of these.
I had two servers go online at 4:43 PM and 4:44 PM EST.


For these prices, many of you can certainly stop whining about setup time (which is under 48 hours now) and can afford to buy whatever control panel license.
My only concern is the network slowing down after you all sign-up.

I just ordered mine now that they are caught up with supply. So you got your servers in less than 48?

I just ordered mine now that they are caught up with supply. So you got your servers in less than 48?

Me too ... but ... i cannot wait 48 hours ... he he he :cool:

got mine less than 48 hours

Me too ... but ... i cannot wait 48 hours ... he he he :cool:

I can't either. Thats why I procrastinated for 1 whole week so I could order mine just now. :crazy: :rolleyes: :eek:

got mine less than 48 hours

Which day did you order?

Which day did you order?

I ordered on 11th

Got my personal server today only 48 hours wait exact :D

Will inform you all of the support services and networks.

Got mine in monday morning from dediboxinternational, so far everything has been GREAT! I ping about 160ms, but i get about 900kbps.

Im extremely happy! Not lets just figure out how the hell to configure icecast...

Oh and tahts from my home USA connection, ****** DSL.

dediboxinternational has the same prices and terms as bestofdata right? you got a link to their specials by chance if they have any?

Same prices, but Im not going to post the link in here. Its Best OF Data's thread. Not theirs.

hes back out of stock acording to site was gonna ordert too

Well Bad News People. I Guess The Saying Is Correct : " You Get What You Pay For"

Over the last 1 day I've requested (At the time of my order) Unbuntu Desktop as my operating system and NX as my Remote Access software (Which was not my choice to go with this was setup by them not me)

Ive tryed, tryed and tryed to set it all up. I've even gone to the time and legnths of making a screen recorder for best of data support staff to look at which shows my attempts to login which the info they gave me. (I can give poeple the link to this recording if they think they can solve this issue)

The point here is that it's take almost 4 hours for dedibox to figure out whats going on. Since i posted about 3 -4 hours regarding this issue in their support dection i've had no response from a ""24/7 support team""

All i can say is think before ordering. I personally am not paying for another month for this type of support or lack of should i say.

It's ironic though, If this was windows op system i would have a server and client setup within 3 minutes.

Anyway flame me all you want guys and gals but just think I would not be posting here if this was not true.

hes back out of stock acording to site was gonna ordert too

Oh damn! Does this mean I have to wait another week lol.

depending on who he buys from could be longer

depending on who he buys from could be longer

Well he said he had 10 delivered just recently and is waiting on 10 more today or tomorrow. I placed my order on 9/12 at around 1 a.m. Paris time. I guess he might have run out of that stock of 10 by then? My control panel just says Status: In Progress" and for some reason says Order date 9/11/2006.

Unless 10 people beat me to it and ordered before me on Monday I should probably get mine within a couple of days....I hope...

What on earth is NX? I thought this was an unmanaged server where they just set up IP connectivity, give you ssh access and they are done. Don't they give people ssh logins as standard?

And I still can't make out if your problem is solved or not.

Problem is not solved. NX is a software to allow u to connect to Unbuntu Desktop OS: they give you this as standard.

I always thought linux and BSD boxes that were going to be used as servers just has a minimal shell, tcpip stack, sshd and a few utils installed and no X was installed at all to save on RAM and CPU resources. Thats supposed to be the advantage of using a *nix as an O/S that you can trim the fat and just run the bare minimum.

I hope they arent going to clutter up my debian box with KDE and Xorg or whatever else because I don't need it. I just want a LAMP server that I ssh to and install my scripts and log out.

I think that most webmasters after this deal would expect right?

UbuntU Desktop is the only one that comes with that installed. It is used as a remote desktop and not a server most of the time, thats why its got that installed.

Every other OS choice comes with the bare minimum.

EDIT: wow, energy beat me to it :P

RACKNETZ: Please understand we are doing everything we can to help you, these servers are not managed servers!


Q: Are servers managed?
A: No, you must manage your server, we can only do network troubleshooting, OS reinstalls, and reboots.

Just got email confirmation mentioning my server is ready.
17 hours from putting order :)

No time to write long posts ... need to check my server first ;)

Hello,

We just delivered all servers we had in the queue. We apologize for the waiting time. But we cannot handle that, as we do not manage this by our own.

Thanks for your comprehension,
And thanks for choosing Bestofdata.com

Have a good day you all =)

BESTOFDATA LLC

Do you have any servers left as i will be ordering one in the next 3 days :D

1 have one ready right now.

For Fedora Core users, to change your language to ENGLISH:

cd /etc/sysconfig/
nano i18n

Change ALL fr_FR by en_US

Regards!

Any Ubuntu or Debian users..

# dpkg-reconfigure locales

plus you made need to remove FR related entries in /etc/environment .. h.t..h

there is nothing in the box ... it is only SSH I guess :( .. even there is no traceroute :D

Being newbie and try to play with dedicated server is not an easy task :(.
I will use this box for a webserver mainly (php/mysql) + php shell for cron.

In the middle of nowhere , :D , I installed VHCS2 using step by step here http://vhcs.puuhis.net/wiki/index.php/Getting_started#VHCS_Setup

I used to use whm, cpanel and plesk. They are newbie friendly :)

Now I finished installed VHCS2, and it seems like WHM functionality.

Question.

I want the functionality just like in cpanel such as
- Cron job ( using php shell command )
- Mysql with PHPMyadmin
- File Manager
- Mail Account Handling
- Webmail client
- Webstats ( analog, webalizes, awstats )

So where to continue from now ... :confused::confused::confused:

Thnaks for Help ..

haha, well it's horsed for courses I suppose.. my Ubuntu came with a full LAMP stack which I don't actually need (I prefer just to start from scratch) but it's simply a case of doing a

#dpkg -l

and removing what I don't need

You might want to look at something like

http://www.ispconfig.org/

or DTC (both free) for cpanel equivalents.. can't recommend any though as I don't use them. The command line is the tool of the warrior ;)

Hello,

We have 5 server ready for delivery.

Regards.

Last post update:

10 servers ready for delivery.

Regards.

Now only 8 left :)

Just had 2nd server setup.
Price are GREAT! order yours

Thank you steadyhosting, always nice to hear :)

Regards.

Yes, and that is exactly what I got.

Don't bother with RACKNETZ, he is part of the 20%.

Did you ever compare the performance of BSD versus debian or the other linux distros under heavy stress? I have been hearing a lot that its better to have BSD running with lots of clients. The server loads don't jack up that much. Myth or fact?

Ok ...
Debian is great ...
VHCS2 is comparable to cpanel/whm [ at least for my web server (php/mysql/file mgr) ]

I will start building the website now

bestofdata ... thanks ....

I personally not.
but many old crackers mentioned that .... linux designed for desktop, while BSD design for server.

But maybe it's just a myth ... don't know really

Dude, you really should take some time to investigate the command line. I don't think you quite understand the power. The NX problem is more likely to be an issue with the Ubuntu distro itself rather than another configuration issue that is bestofdata related (i.m.n.s.h.o). Therefore your issue really is not related to bestofdata.. Chances are that you've not actually logged into the box to configure nx itself (it being installed and it being configured are two different things)

The servers provided are LINUX BASED (or BSD), which (without a control panel) involves ssh'ing into the box and conducting admin tasks via the command line. To try and think that you can do all of the admin via a NX client is sadly mistaken, misinformed and general malpractice. Linux is not windows for many good reasons, so trying to draw parallels isn't productive.

If you don't want to spend the time investing in learning or don't have the resources then I'd stick to what you know, but trust me, there's far more profit from learning ;)

If you are still concered, pm me the link to you screencast :)

how can i remove fr?

You simply

dpkg-reconfigure locales

and deselect any unwanted locales (i.e. French) and select the ones you want (UTF-8 and ISO)

then edit the /etc/environment file and take out the FR: references (leaving in the locale you want)

I personally not.
but many old crackers mentioned that .... linux designed for desktop, while BSD design for server.

But maybe it's just a myth ... don't know really

That's incorrect I'm afraid. Linux (in general) work far better on the desktop for certain tasks (lower latency audio work, video etc..) but BSD also runs well on the desktop.

Guess what too, Linux also runs exceptionally well as a server (especially with the scalability of the 2.6 kernel and stuff like NPTL), so does BSD. Checkout netcraft (no flames please) or some other stat site to verify this :)

BSD just has a longer time in the making and probably has more swing with some of the older geeks (yet there's more linux servers.. go figure ;) )

Suddenly all of our servers have a 25mbit limit, so much for the so called "unlimited bandwidth" BEWARE!!!

Why they do that?

During the last few days, I've noticed some *odd* behavior. Exactly between 6:30 and 17h30 (GMT-5), the bandwidth usage drop to a capped ~25-26mbit during the entire period.

I'd like to get more information on this behavior?

Thank you

I had a feeling we weren't the only ones.

You guys got the MRTG's for it?

I'd be interested to see..

Thanks!

This is the case for about an week now.

I ordered one of these servers 2 hours ago. I've been told it won't be ready until Tuesday next week. This is definately the 96 hours and then some as quoted on the ordering page.

If patience is a virtue, and ignorance is bliss, you can have a pretty good life if you're stupid and willing to wait.

So Bestofdata, what is the deal here? Why are you capping "unmetered" servers at 25 megs?

Hello,

We are not capping "unmetered" servers at 25Mbps, it is in fact our provider that has started doing QoS once their bandwidth lines become saturated. At peak times of the day around 6, they enable the QoS so that everyone can get a fair amount of bandwidth until they have more bandwidth lines installed, We thank you for your patience.

Best Regards,
BESTOFDATA LLC

Do you have any idea on when they plan to resolve this issue? Not being to burst past 25mbit during peak hours defeat the entire purpose in my case...

Thanks

"Until they have more bandwidth lines installed."

That sounds too good to be true but I hope. I am impressed, I hear that it only affects people in France. I am not sure that is right. 3 of us I know personally are in the US and are capped as well as I am sure others too. I hope its resolved soon..... Thanks Bestof for keeping up updated.

Im managing 50mbit constant

maybe its a stupid question, i bought one server from bestofdata but when im login on the server i can see Dedibox text like this:

How i can change o remove it ?

Thanks

They are very open about the fact that they resell dedibox servers. You can get it removed by submitting a support ticket (and get it changed to English at the same time)

I think you can fix it if you edit the motd (google it, sorry)

I had a look and you just edit the following file to change the message:

/etc/motd

Best advice is to stay away from these servers, 100mbits is ********... You'll be lucky to push 10megs!

Really? I'm pushing about 40-50 megs and my server is doing just fine.

I'm pushing 20-60mbit on a daily basis with no issues at all. Still very very happy with my service.

There are 0 servers ready. Anyone know when they get new shipments?

sales are ignoring tickets so dosent look too good i has a ticket in since wesnesday

One of my servers with these uses 5-15 megs and another uses about 10-20 megs and have had no problems (I know thats not a huge amount but shows that you can very easily get more than 10 megs constantly)

I want to try a server. I need 320 GB hard disk and I willing to pay for the extra disk space.

I've had SERIOUS issue with connectivity. Had to cancel my box

Dedibox has been having some network issues. They've been working on getting things fixed.

You'll have to get one of their 'raid servers'. Which is 2x160GB drives in Raid 0/1.

They have been 'working' on this for the past week and a half... if not more now

I'm on a gigabit work connection and can only get 100Kb/s, at home on 4Mb ADSL, about 12kb/s

It's ludicrous.

Same thing here.

Dedibox.fr has killed the USA routing from our reseller's servers because of abuse, and they aren't going to re-activate it until the abuse is stopped.

I get fine upspeed from the USA, and European bandwidth is still fine.

Seems like only people in France are getting good speeds at the minute with a few exeptions. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=569403
