We have a 24x7 technician pager for emergencies, in addition to our toll-free technical support. ICQ and AIM are also very useful in contacting us after business hours. Usually if you can't contact one of us directly, you'll have a call back in 15 minutes or less.

For an additional $10 per month, we can include a 36GB SCSI drive on the 1200MHz system, or $20 per month on the 850MHz system.

We bill using the MRTG Monthly Average, which takes all of the two hour averages from the month and averages them. We've had lots of success using this method for our customers.

You can pull $100/month off any of our regular server packages if you order it without Cpanel/WHM.

Free setup for a limited time to anyone moving from a VDI-based dedicated server to Plusweb.

Feel free and contact me directly for more information at jk@plusweb.com or 877-9-PLUSWEB. Thanks.

plans a and b :-)

Here are some more questions.

DanielP: What is the charge for extra RAM on your dedicated servers?


jkehe: Is the only form of support that your "NOC" offers support@serverhost.com?


Jag: What would it cost to put more RAM in that box and what is the price of bandwidth.


BurstNET: Can you beat this "1200MHz / 512MB SDRAM / 80GB HD / 10/100 NIC / 100GB Data Transfer $399 per month / $399 setup"

Thank you.

Ironlung: Please contact us directly to discuss beating that offer. We need to know the company that made the offer, so we can verify such.

mysitehost: We only consider hosting companies that have been around awhile, and have a proven track record. Looks like wedgehost was just registered in Dec 2000. They may be a perfectly good company, and probably are, but we have no way of verifying that they really do offer what they are advertising. Also, they do not offer Cpanel/WHM. Regardless though, we still can probably beat the offer. Please contact our sales dept directly to negotiate.

For Teck.


No @ the momonet we don't have any sub $200 systems.

The difference between pricing isn't that large for the lower systems and many of the parts are just plain outdated.

We try and stay with the times. Not sure if we'll ever had a $100 a month system. However, your more than welcome to co-locate a system :).



[Edited by DanielP on 02-15-2001 at 04:29 PM]

For reference;
New server orders we accept are also not being placed into the VDI data center. They are being placed in the BurstNET™ Data Center, which is also one of the select few Cpanel/WHM "Authorized" Data Centers.

On your T1? :D
Or is your One Sprint DS3 In yet? :D

New signups are being offered a choice currently.
1) Placement temporarily in the VDI Data Center with dual DS3 connectivity
or
2) Placement in the BurstNET™ Data Center with Sprint T1 connectivity (only at 20% capacity used). In three months of testing (deciding whether to order DS3 from Sprint for the new data center), this line has not had even 1 minute of downtime.

Either way, machines will be in the BurstNET™ Data Center on Sprint DS3 connectivy within a few weeks. We are just offering a choice to new signups, for some do not want to be on a T1 for 2-3 weeks, while others do not want to be in the VDI data center.

A second DS3 is scheduled for installation in May 2000, for redundancy. We are in negotiations with Global Crossing, Worldcom/UUnet, and AT&T.

He also needs CP3 and web host manager, which though you offer, the price you gave does not include them, am I right?

cheers,
:beer:

Wow... I see a lot of companies trying to compete here :D Very nice... open competition is what we need!

But.... calm down.... Probably you (Ironlung) also need to know what method you guys use to measure bandwith! You may offer 100GB of bandwith, but if it is based on 95th percentile, then I will go with lower bandwith offer with average or even actual bandwith measurement... am I right? :)

BTW, Ironlung how much bandwith do you need? Do you really require SCSI? OK.... just a two cents from me... I am off :)

cheers,
:beer:

To get that server with 256 ram instead of 128 is only $25 more per month, to take it from 128 to 512 is $75 more per month. Basically $25 per 128mb ram you want to add per month.

Bandwidth is $3 per gig and mesured on the average not the 95%.

Hummmm ... my d-servers ..

naaa .. I let you guys fight this one :)

The point is, can you beat that price, apparently not because of the unspoken technicality. In any case, wedgehost is owned by wedgemusic.

The important point, I don't need the crap cpanel 3. It's extremely slow (yes flame me all you want, I don't like it and I don't need it)

I already have a reseller control pannel in the making.

If I don't need the cpanel, which I indirectly asked, and you try to beat the pricing of wedgehost, what can you do about it?

No technicalities.

Is anyone going to post about the dedicated plans they can offer me? I dont see how this ended up a SCSI vs.IDE battle and old domain issue.

ironlung .... how come u take credit card details over a none secure server?

Well since you brought it up. We have been waiting to get the SSL certificate since we started using the new control panel. The reason that we are waiting is becuase the SSL generater is not working in the WHM. I have been asking to get this taken care of for about 2 months now with no luck. I get emails back saying "your answer is forth coming" and stuff like that. Anyways Burst is out of the question now that I heard they have 1 T1. My clients would be very upset to leave the rackspace network for that.

oh ok :)

Iron... the last time I used the Cert Key generator it worked fine for me...

Try running /scripts/upcp and upgrading your cpanel see if that helps.

*wishes cable would come back*

I've edited this thread quite a bit. Some people aren't going to like that and I realize this.

Some people wouldn't have liked it if I had left it. I realize this.

Well, what I edited didn't have anything to do with the thread topic. Yes, there are parts of this thread that don't have anything to do with the thread topic, I left some parts in, I know this, if you don't understand why, email me.

I've taken the time to email each post to the person who posted it so they had a copy and could repost it (in another thread please), if they wanted to bring up the points.

Anyway, this thread has been returned only to help the original poster and hopefully that is what *this* thread will do from now on.

Again, please start a new thread with the other points. The people who were discussing it have copies of their posts.

It is extremly bad practice to take credit cards over a non secure transaction, if they practice business like that imagine what other things they skimp on...

While everyone is shooting pricing around, always remember when you have a good thing going, is it worth trying to fix? VDI for the last several years has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that with a little effort from you, your business will succeed. With VDI we are about to incoroporate a new network topology that will include an 80 gig point to point fiber line to New York City. This information will be officially released in aproximately the next 2 weeks. Once the contract is signed and order in progress we will be forging full steam ahead. This new network topology will allow for virtually unlimited growth without speed restrictions for VDI clients. Now, hosting companies can get and maintain large clients and grow with out the fear of restricted bandwidth. If you choose to leave VDI's network it would be like downgrading your account and limiting your business potential.

Now don't get us wrong.. we are not trying to bad-mouth the competition, we are just giving you the facts so you can make an educated decision.....

"an educated consumer is our best customer"

The old saying is true, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The fact that you guys are bickering back and forth about who is better makes you all look very bad, at least in my eyes it does, take it out into the sandbox....

If you are still having problems and have't been able to install the SSL certificates, email me and I'll help you out. No reason to wait that amount of time, because the control panel isn't working properly or isn't giving you an error and still not working. By this time, you likely could have researched it and found out, so if you haven't found out or the WHM deal didn't set it up for you, etc. I'll offer my assistance to explain to you how to set it up manually, which only takes a minute to do. Let me know if you're still interested, if you still have the same problems. (I know you posted this long ago, but I just saw it from another thread that linked to here.)
