No, you can just pick a server from above list and pay the £40 ($60) bandwidth charge per month. There are no extra charges on top of this. (unless you use extra bandwidth).

Regards,

Matt.

what does the extra bandwidth cost i would like to have a total of 100gb

Maff
11-17-2002, 02:49 PM
Hi, extra bandwidth costs £20 for 25GB. You can by in blocks, so 4 x 20 would be £80 for 100GB.

Matthew.

Can you setup PTR records for us on all ip's?

Maff

Hello,

Yes, we can setup PTR records on all IP's, as long as they have a valid A record (so there is no fake RDNS).

Regards,

Matt.

Hello , do you still have a 400MHz machine left? and if so how much would the default package with them at £40 a month be with 64 IP's?

Thank you.

Maff

Hi,

We have 1 400mhz machine left. We could do this with 64IP's for £50 per month, no setup costs.

It currently has redhat 8.0 installed and is plugged in ready to go. We can install other OS's as well if you require.

Regards,

Matt.

The last 300 and 400mhz servers have now been taken.

We have some more arriving on the 22nd November, however the price will go up slightly to £55 per month (our normal price).

Best Regards,

Matt.

how is bandwith caluated?

25gigs = IN + OUT? or average of both... or... something else?

Maff
12-04-2002, 07:49 AM
Hello,

Bandwidth is calculated in both directions, so 25GB would be both inwards and outgoing traffic.

Hope this helps,

Matt.

im with poundhost and not impressed ;/

Our server still does not have a OS installed that we can use which tends to render it useless as we can not install applications which th eserver is soley for.

When are you going to get this sorted poundhost , its been 3 weeks now! i would like this month refunded please.

Maff
12-06-2002, 08:38 PM
I'm sorry to hear about this Neil. I assumed the OS was functioning correctly as we didn't hear anything from you since our last communications.

Regardless, I have scheduled for a complete rebuild of your server 10am tomorrow morning which should sort your issues out quickly.

If you need more time to get any data off the machine, please let me know.

Please please let me know if you have any more issues or queries.

Matt. :)

Please correct me if im wrong but this thread says you are giving away free servers?

Maff
12-08-2002, 02:25 PM
protecweb, you are correct, we had roughly 5 or so servers that we gave away, customers just paying the normal co-location cost, for co-locating that server in our data centre.


As of today, we also have the following available:

New Compaq 1Ghz PIII , 256MB RAM, 20GB HDD, 25GB Bandwidth for just £65 per month, no setup.

We also have some more 400Mhz machines for £47 per month.


Regards,

Matt.
