Hi,

I am looking for a list of all the hosting company and datacenter that they could accept to get a 100 MB and a 48 u rack for my company, to put there 30 dedicated servers with the 100 MB.

We are using aprox. 15000 GB/month. We need the best price.

Could someone offer me a quote for that? :)
Please include in your quote:
a) Setup fee
b) monthly rate for the 100 MB Cogent line and for the RACK.
c) The price of the servers:
PIII 1800 MHZ
1 GB RAM
60GB IDE
------

Thanks in advance.

This is my best quote today:
Pricing Information:

Full rack (42-48u, depending on type):
$750/mo, $750 setup.

100mbps cogent connectivity:
$3750/mo, $4500 setup (min 12 month contract)

:)

Can someone give me a better price?

Thanks!

You should post your quote request in the requests forum. Web hosts aren't allowed to respond to requests / advertise in the general forums.

Might want to make note that cogent's prices are going up in most places next month, so quotes now might be a lot more in a month or two :bawling:.

What if you signed a one year contract? How can they raise prices on you? Is it only for new clients that want to signup?

they dont, if you have a new contract or extend your contract prices wont go up obviously :). If you're renewing your contract though, your prices will be going up =(

Yes, Verio is less than $6,500 for 100MB/S

oh yeah, duh, i'm sure you either have to be an amazing haggler or you have to buy in bulk to get prices like that.

you have to buy in bulk Of course :)

cool... $65 or less per Meg - that is pretty good pricing from Yipes and Verio...

I highly recommend sdcolo.com I think it is $4000/mo for a full rack with a 100 Meg connection to Cogent. No set up fees. The only downfall is that they do not have a back up provider ofr Cogent users.

Their colo is not the greatest, but if you want to get inon the cheap, they are good to go. Plus the 24/7 support is tops and if you spend over $5,000/mo they throw in free remote hands which includes terminal service to all servers. Meaning they will get you connected to your box so you can work on it remotelly!

but if verio and and yipes will be cheaper then cogent then who will buy cogent and who much bandwidth will be offered by these providers who offer 300gb to 500 gb for around $130~

will it become half of this or they will continue to oversell :rolleyes:

Jay Suds

I honestly can't believe that Yipes is selling bandwidth for $65/Mb. The lowest I've heard Yipes go for is $165/Mb, and from what I understand, they are now trying to keep all accounts over $200/Mb, even when you're buying 100Mb/sec +

Most of the people who talk prices on WHT don't really have the information first hand, they have friends who gave the information to them second hand, etc.

I can believe yipes would do $65/mbit.... on a gig-e circuit where they already had connectivity, on anything under 500mbps though? i highly doubt it.

Sure, show me where you got a quote direct from either Yipes or Verio for that rate and in what market.

No, not even on a Gig-E circuit...at least not in Houston.

Call up Verio and ask for a 100 Mbps Ethernet drop in KC, it will be less than $65.00/Mbps. I am not sure about Yipes as we have never called on them.

Jag

At 6500 per 100mbp, Cogent will still be the cheapest around, at least here they will.

might even shut some of these smack talking mouths around here :D, the amount of cogent bashers who've never used cogent annoys me :angry:.

I wasn't told this information first hand from Yipes, however its from a reliable source and I have every reason to believe it...

Whos your Yipes rep? Do different reps give better price quotes than others?

RackMy.com

Do different reps give better price quotes than others?Yep, it happens all the time. We normally call 3-4 different reps and pit them against each other. Really, it's easy to get a lot of providers below $65.00/Mbps on a full GiG-E line
