Are you referring to how much I pay my ISP? rlynch 07-26-2002, 04:33 PM yes Sainthax 07-26-2002, 04:34 PM are you refering to DSL/Cable or the big lines? rlynch 07-26-2002, 04:39 PM anyhting. im jsut trying to get a hint of what my costs will be AcuNett 07-26-2002, 04:43 PM I pay 39/month for my cable modem, but of course I don't host people off that. I host my servers on 2 oc-3's and about 4 oc-192 lines for $399/month ;) rlynch 07-26-2002, 04:52 PM about how many clients can u host off the 399/mnth connection? jic 07-26-2002, 05:01 PM Ok. You are going to get confused with all of these answers. The $399 there is no way he is getting a full oc-3 to himself =).. First you need to ask yourself.. Do I want my own NOC (building with lines) if that is the case you need to get some routers etc. and a decent connection T1+ which will cost you a large amount of money for setup and local loop charges etc. for the connection really not even making it worth your money (unless you get a 100 MBit line from Cogent hehe). Now you could always do what we do which is we just have a cage that we rent out from a place in Dallas and put our own servers in there. *but if hardware fails we owe $$ for it* Then you have to find your own backbone which you usually get for "pretty cheap" which we pay around $300 / MBit for good bandwidth. Third option. Just go buy a single server from someone like ourselves =), rackshack or the majority of the other hosts that host in here. It will run you between $90-500 / month depending on what you want and that is probably the best bet to go with.

Ahh yes, I'm on the other side in Toronto...;) LiveTronix 07-27-2002, 02:05 PM I am in Vancouver! p1net 07-27-2002, 02:43 PM Your all making me Jealous. Internet prices in Ireland are crazy. I pay around $30 a month for my 64k ISDN connection and on top of that I have to pay call charges which are usually very high because I am online most of the time. There is no affordable broadband available in my area!!! :bawling: :bawling: JTY 07-27-2002, 03:31 PM I pay $50 for my DSL. Tetraboy 07-27-2002, 04:21 PM I got in a special on my 768/128 dsl and pay $15 a month to the ISP and $30 or so to the telco. RobTheGolfer 07-27-2002, 07:55 PM Multiple dedicated servers totalling about 400/month. I have a cable modem at 30/month.:D zRedDice 07-28-2002, 12:22 PM Hmmm Actually, my telco screwed up and sent us the wrong equipment, and instead of switching it out, they let us keep it, so we have a 1.5/1.5 SDSL line for $50. :) Normally its a 1.0/128 line - James RobTheGolfer 07-28-2002, 12:29 PM That was pretty nice of them. :D zRedDice 07-28-2002, 02:24 PM I saw no point in complaining. :D RobTheGolfer 07-28-2002, 03:07 PM I wouldn't either. :D |
