And for, what I think, is the best deal of the day...

Yesterday was my birthday so we'll call this the "Aaron's Birthday Special".

Only 5 available.

Quad Core Xeon 2.4Ghz
1GB RAM
250GB Hard Drive
1500GB Monthly Transfer
CentOS 5
DirectAdmin Control Panel
5 Usable IPs on Private VLAN
100Mbit Switch Port
Remote Reboot Control
Bandwidth Graphs

$0 Setup - $119 per Month :clap:


Need some addons?

Add 512MB - $10 per month
Add 1GB - $20 per month

Add a second drive:

80GB - $10 per month
160GB - $20 per Month
250GB - $30 per month
500GB - $45 per month

For upgrade pricing on drives just take what you want from the list above and subtract what the config has. For example, you have an 80 and want a 160. 160 = $20 per month, 80 = $10 per month so the upgrade would be $10 a month ($20 - $10 = $10)

We do custom configs so if you're looking for a config or have a budget in mind for something different let us know.

Prices are good while supplies last. All servers are located in Kansas City, MO.

We do not allow IRC, Spam or Illegal content as defined by the laws of the State of Missouri.

To place an order, or for questions, e-mail sales@wholesaleinternet.com.

Thanks. There is no discount without DA. I actually thought about listing control panels seperate, or putting "DA free upon request" or something like that since I get the discount question alot.

Would a debian install be possible on one of the $39 machines? I really don't care about the control panel but would want a distro that I'm more familiar with.

WII-Aaron
11-15-2007, 07:39 PM

Your box is finished. I couldn't find your build ticket so I updated the one you had open on bandwidth graphs for your other server which have also been fixed. Send me an e-mail if there are any issues.

We can load whatever you like. If you make OS changes to those boxes it will take longer then the guaranteed 2 hours to set up though.

What do you charge for OS reloads? Is there an automated (or even a KVM-IP system with disk images) system in place or is it only handled by techs?

We charge $25 for a reload. At this time we don't have an automated system for this although we have a large customer requesting it so we have several solutions in testing.

Hi Aaron,

A few questions:

I want to make sure all necessary security features can be implemented at setup time, such as:
mod_security
Initial Security Hardening
APF Firewall Installation
/tmp directory hardening
Catch PHP nobody Spammers
Brute Force Detection
RKHunter
ClamAV Anti-Virus or other antivrus solution

What can be installed on the server to help deter spam?

Can ZEND Optimizer be installed?

Does the Cpanel come with Fantastico?

Do you have any backup solution in place? Costs?

What level of management comes with the server?

Thanks.

Chris Creighton

Due to the volume of servers we put online every day we are not able to provide custom configs beyond what is loaded by the OS or the Control Panel. Once the server is online you can open a ticket requesting these things but they would be billed at our normal hourly rate of $65 an hour.


What can be installed on the server to help deter spam?


Both CPanel and DA install Spamassasin.


Can ZEND Optimizer be installed?


It can, but is not installed durring the initial setup.


Does the Cpanel come with Fantastico?


We don't include fantastico with CPanel. We used to but as we grew it became a real pain to track the licenses so we dumped it.


Do you have any backup solution in place? Costs?


We have several options for backup depending on your needs and the frequency of the backup. The largest hosting company in the world backs up thier servers with us.


What level of management comes with the server?


None. We'll answer questions and normally help out with simple things but otherwise these servers are unmanaged. While we do offer management which covers just about anything and everything, our managed services market is no the typical WHT user so you might be supprised at the pricing. :)

Hmmm.... strange. I loaded one yesterday and looked at the cpuinfo and it showed 4 processors. I didn't load yours though. I'll check your ticket and get a tech on it.

if your order was confirmed today then you should be online already. I had my build guys stay late and finish everyone that had ordered and paid so no one would need to wait over the weekend. I believe there are just a couple that are waiting payment.

i would receive a confirmation e-mail stating the ip address and login details for the server once it has been done.... write?
