I'm looking at the P4 plan at $119/month on both companies. Which one should I go with? nocster or dedicatednow???

Thanks

nocster by a mile... i'd say better b/w... n the company been around a lot longer i think... hehe... nocster owned by burst... which been around 4+ yrs... with a good rep... heh

Glurp ... If you say "Nothing Beats Internap", I can still take it.
But NAC? ah come on ... that's an insult to Internap, Inflow, etc ;)

Actually dedicatednow which is a subdivision of pegasus has been in business since late 1997. NAC's network map and network is far better than bursts/nocsters. Also in 1-2 weeks new dual OC12's are being lite.

We are from Vietnam, we have 1 server at Nocsters and 1 server at Dedicated Now. NAC is fast than bursts/nocsters with connecting from Vietnam.

Hello,

Dedicatednow out of those two and "nothing beats NAC" ... maybe nothing in the price range but NAC isn't the best setup in the world. I'd rather go with InterNAP pure .. rather than have InterNAP in a mix whereby it isn't primary. I get good speeds from NAC because AOL directly connects to NAC :D:thumb:

<< the company been around a lot longer i think... hehe... nocster owned by burst... which been around 4+ yrs >>


Actually our company has been around almost 12 years...since June 1991.

<< NAC's network map and network is far better than bursts/nocsters >>

More providers does not necessarily mean a better network.
BurstNET also owns it's own data center making it a Tier 2 provider, unlike most companys.

I would recommend Nocster/BurstNET theyre phone support is awesome.

Plus theres always somebody on AIM to help :stickout:

I have a box with both providers and cant really say one is better than the other. Support from both is great, and ping times to DedicatedNow is faster than Nocster for me in PA but not by much about a difference of 5ms difference on a traceroute

So basically if I were you I would just do pings etc to the servers and see which you have the better connectivity too, as they both are great for support

Tom

I would suggest to download PingPlotter (pingplotter.com) and do real time pings to both of them, not just for hours, but for 2 days and see how their network are.

I have a box with both DedicatedNow and Nocster both companies are great.

I like the aim support in nocster as you can normally get a quick answer on any topic and I have to give credit to them for adding more people lately which means there is normally always someone online 24/7 now.

I have heard that this feature or something similar is being added soon to dedicatednow and I am sure that it will be great also. The support tickets for dedicatednow are handled quickly and even though both companies don't offer phone support they have been gracious in the past and answered the phone when I needed.

I'll also will be completely honest a $0 setup fee and the unreal $19.95 a month cpanel pricing which both companies offered during specials let me try there services it is an easy way to see how a host is going to perform. I probably would have never known about either of these services with their normal setup rates. But now can see the value what they offer.

I believe both companies are not just content with the status quo but are agressively working to offer even better service and support and that is a win win for any customer. You most definately are not just a number with both of these companies, they treat you like a customer should be treated regardless of the price you have paid.

I have been with nocster the longest three months and dedicatednow since they opened 23 days ago, time will tell how they perform over the long haul and for me right now that is the most information I can give you in your decision between the two.

dedicatednow hands down.

If you need a secondary hard drive for backup go to dedicated now it's more cost effective in long run.
However I have servers at burst and at dedicated now.

On dedicated now website it says $0 setup fees on new servers...but on the pricing part it shows up:

$399 Setup

...

Anybody care to explain!

What support methods does dedicatednow use (ICQ, msn,etc...)?

The $0 setup fee only applied for the first 50 orders when they opened, they've now started to charge setup fees,
I think that they have ICQ and email support,
although I havent been able to get responses from either :D

o... don't forget... "DCJN" bandwidth... based on cogent, not some premium provider... add to that... i bet you at&t/sprint/etc has a better backbone than nac... n thats what burst is based around... i mean... cogent is in the mix, but i have never seen it in a traceroute from anywhere but other cogent servers...

Err, DCJN isn't based on Cogent - infact it is defunct right now anyway.

It's a subset of the main NAC network (when active) that uses some of the lower cost bandwidth providers.

Do a search on Pwebtech and Burst - should give you an idea of which company not to go with.

On a side note, DCJN is not low cost bandwidth. NAC has vast network consisting of over 100 major private and public peering arrangements in various locations across the US and globally.

Infact, if you traceroute to NAC you more than likely seeing a connection via a peer, hence the low number of hops and great speeds. For example NAC peers directly with NTL in the UK.

Something like 78% (IIRC) goes directly to one of the peer. With the remaining traffic going across various transit providers for the main NAC network. With DCJN the setup is similar with Cogent as the transit provider and in the event of Cogent failure (which will affect ~20%) the main NAC transit carriers (again IIRC). Hence it's a pretty robust setup.

Ask Burst what type of global peering they have.

but i have never seen it in a traceroute from anywhere but other cogent servers...

Another note, DedicatedNow are currently not using DCJN bandwidth, they are using NAC bandwidth, they are due to switch over to DCJN within the next week or the next. IP Addresses etc... will remain the same, there just might be some more Cogent showing up here and there as transit, rather than the odd direct peering connection which you are experiencing above (simply because it's the fastestroute).

Last I heard the switch back to DCJN wasn't going to be any time soon.

dedicated now 100% my 1st choice. i dont like bursts network issues , i dont like an sla that is worded so that theyre virtually never liable, i dont like their attitude in the past with cybersquatting. i could go on lol but at the end of the day i fell dn is the better product anyway.
burst may be good, nocster is burst without the frills.
run fixedorbit on the two and run your own tests. run som traces from around the globe \ country.

I don't believe that's true about DCJN being cogent based. There is a slim possiblity that you are correct, but we should really find out before you say things like that.

Dunno about singing the praises of AT&T bandwidth either...from my experience, I'd take cogent's sometime high latency over AT&T's ALWAYS high latency any day of the week...

Dedicatednow :beer: , we currently have several servers there and are very happy with the experince so far. We were with nocster for over 6 months and it was okay , the past month and few weeks really made us think we needed a better provider , the billing and support have gotten horriable lately with Burst.

Lyron of dedicatednow even worked with us for several hrs and went above and beyond his call of duty as we had a main HD failure a few days into one of our boxes and he made sure everything was in tip top shape , Matt has always been most helpful also with any questions or concens and has always kept us in the loop from the get go .

netdude,

dcjn has a bgp preference set to nac peers and only after that cogent. i havent seen *anything* going over cogent to/from boxen on dcjn, *including* traffic to/from boxes on cogent. and another thing, im getting 20-30 ms pings to dnow and a couple people in europe are getting 80-90 ms.

it is too early to assert DedicatedNow better than Nocster, but I vote 55% for DedicatedNow & 45% for Nocster with my research.

it is too early to assert DedicatedNow better than Nocster, but I vote 55% for DedicatedNow & 45% for Nocster with my research

Its just like comparin pwebtech to burst, who would you chose?

Ofcourse, I will choose pwebtech if server's feartures and prices the same.

Alan made a good point. However, it seems that DedicatedNow website is lacking alot of information about their service. This makes me wonder whats up....

it's kinda annoying....just like when you go into a store and can't find the price on that shirt you really want to buy .....

Well, i can't find any info about support and blah blah blah..etc

hrmm. :cartman:

Websites do not mean anything.. connectivity, good support when needed, good billing, dedicatednow have those features - Burst however seem to have more complaints in those areas.. but they have been around longer.. or is pwebtech not a consideration? I would choose dedicatednow over burst, but that's just my opinion :D

I've always found ATT to be decent in regards to latency. This is talking from experience in the NYC area (ds3) and west cost (cable inet). I'm able to get <40ms all along the west coast using att cable even. I get <30ms to Internap in Seattle, 35ms to XO in Irvine, 30-40ms to HE.net, and so on. And most of the above never travel 100% through ATT, it leaves after a handfull of hops out.

I get 70ms latency from Oregon to Pennsylvania (burst.net) which isn't too bad for traveling across the country! :)

so far i never encountered any problem with nocster servers ...

No offence to DedicatedNow, I would just say that since getting a server from nocster/bursnet, I am very satisfied with the performance, reliability of the server and excellent support.


I am not asking for too much, as long as they can provide reasonable support when I need it, good and reliable connectivity 24/7 and have good monitoring system of my server
should suffice for me.

Nocster's been great so far but I put in an order for ips/ram upgrade like Monday/Tuesday and haven't recieved it yet =/

I'm guessing it's because of Thanksgiving maybe ... but either way it said 24hrs.

Other than that, I've not had any problems with my nocster server.

Speed wise, I've found dedicatednow's dcjn network is much faster than Burst and I like its vast peering. Been with dedicatednow for two weeks now and so far so good.

IMHO I think the non-setup promotion should had prollonged longer since they are a new company (I know i know pwebtech...)

they shouldnt still be advertising it on their site lol its a bit of a downer, 'heres what you could have saved last week' style. otherwise they are easily better.

Monday we have a new site coming out with the updated pricing.

I don't know how fast dedicatednow is speed wise but I pulled 3.7MB/s off my nocster box from uunet on a 15mb file. It was increasing up to 4.x I could tell but that damn file went so quick it never got there. ;-) On my other ded servers I'm lucky to hit 800KB/s - 1.1MB/s. Actually, even downloading a 40mb file from sun.com I hit 2.8MB/s on my nocster box.

That's pretty f'n fast IMO.

Choices choices...well guess the new high setup fee will help me up decide ;)

Remember, Nocster is a managed provider, Dedicated Now is not. Both have good networks, but Nocster has higher upgrade prices, I believe. I had no experience managing a server, so I went with Nocster, and they've been great so far. CPanel for $20/month at either place can't be beat though!

- Matt

DedicatedNow boxes are managed too I believe.

Thanks guys for the responses, I have decided to go with nocster since it has longer history and reputation. In the last couple days, i've been contacting both companies to see how fast their reponses are, well...nocters won! Also, I really did think about going with DedicatedNow since they have better upgrade prices, and a bit more bandwidth but their site is so lack of info, all support go to 1 email, no phone, not a very organized operation I think, i don't feel very safe to go with them honestly 'cause everything relies on email.

But don't get me wrong, it's my 2nd choice if i didn't go with nocster.

Chris009 - also did that "see who answers first" test and nocster also won ;)

Yeah, their support is excellent, when my server was acting funny I submitted some support tickets and it was attended speedily and promptly. Great value for money in my opinion and you can't go wrong with Nocster/Burstnet

It basically comes down to whether you need a managed server or not...

We never said they werne't supported, managed really has no true meaning. As mentioned we will support around 95% of your issues.

Jason,

I understand that. I like to have things in writing though, just so I can be sure that if something happens, or I need something done, there is always somebody to do help me with it, or do it for me. I'm not a linux administrator, and don't have the time to learn everything there is to know about linux systems (although I now know a lot, and am constantly learning).

Recap of features:
Setup fees are high at both places (except for original DedicatedNow launch, and Nocster sales, where setup is $0)
Both have decent/excellent networks
Both are reputable companies
300GB transfer (Nocster) vs. 500GB transfer

It's basically a choice of the level of management you need, as well as bandwidth and what company you'd like to deal with.

- Matt

But then again you don't always get what is in writing either, and I would disagree to where it comes down to what level of management you want, 95% of your issues would i believe account for 99% of the people out there in terms of technical reques they will put in.

Yeah. As a potential customer. I would intersted to know what would be the other 5% not supported??

Lets say you attempted to recompile the kernel without leaving backup for recovery and we had to recover the system in that respect.

You attempted to compile apache manually or php manually and severly screwed it up as where a buildapache.sea won't fix.

You install an application that severly corrupts system operation.

As a direct result of client negligence your server was hacked.

Things like that.

ah i see.

I can live with that ;)

Thanks.

are there any other issues beside those? :) (kernel, installing software,hacking) What else can you make wrong and be sure that it would "be" supported? I mean you addressed the major issuess, ( thus no hardware stuff but that is your part of the deal anyway), so you get unmanaged server afterall. I m not complaining, you have a nice offer for <200 $ servers.

I think he was aiming at the "whoops, did I do that?" problems - which is acceptable IMO.

:) ok but on the other hand 120 $ is not that much for 2-3 months to test provider before considering it "stable"

When i get paid on 20th december, I am moving my servers off rackshack, and getting a dedicatednow $169/month server... with cpanel.. cant wait :)
As i can pay by paypal! And... cpanel!
Will they still be left?

I hope ded now also comes up with some sales offers maybe early next year if not the years end

I have been a customer of Nocster until recnetly , and have been with Dedicated now since launch and I will tell you this you won't regret going with dedicated now .

Jay , Matt and especially Lyron have been most helpful in all our needs so far , quick knowledgeable answers and top notch customer support.

you say sales were on furlow? lol ignoring the translation into english ;) what would have happened if i already had a server and wanted say some ip's or a ram upgrade? not a dig just a thought from a potential customer

Interesting... for having been in business 12 years I'm seeing January 03, 1998 on the trademark and domain name. So let me guess, your business has been around 12 years, but prior to 1998 you didn't sell web hosting and it wasn't called BurstNET?

Just because you own one company and 8 years later you start a new one doesn't mean you're company has been in business 12 years. So I guess the 4+ figure was pretty darn close.

They didn't have a trademark before 1998 :D. Business names do NOT have to be trademarked.

Yes interesting he said the company has been around since 1991, the web site says 1996 and the domain was first registered in 1998? I realize it's not required to be TMed but you can see that both the First Use and the domain creation record are Jan. 3 1998. Must be new math...

Forgot to mention, BurstNET was first USED in 1998, they didn't even file for the TM until 2000... Furthermore, if BurstNET was truly around in 1991 that would make them 3 years older then WebComm and 4-5 years older then webhosting.com... which would make them the first and only webhosting company for at least 2-3 years. You'd think with a 3 year monopoly on a market they'd at least be able to afford a Trademark... not to mention the fact that they we're smaller then Ventures Online (at least when both we're colocated at VDI) and VO is only a couple years old.

This isn't a bash on Burst, but saying they've been around since 1991 is a mistruth.

One word: incorporated

I could have started selling chicken feed in 1953, and then incorporated with a web hosting company in 1995. I can say I've been in business since 1953, because, technically, I have!

But it's still two seperate businesses. BurstNET is 4 or 5 years old, period, it's not it's not 7 and it's certainly not 12. If Sean or whoever had a different company beforehand that's just dandy. But it's BS that they have copyright 1996 when the DOMAIN hadn't even been registered in 1996.

Seems like just another lie amongst a million. I would NEVER get anything from Burst, simply because of some of the crap they've pulled on this forum. I'd do a search on Burst here and then consider your options.

I'm sorry, but using domain registration dates isn't very empirical. Let me see here....

chevy.com was registered in 1997

Care to argue they haven't been around previous to 1997? ;)

I'm not saying the "We've been in business since 1991..." isn't something to speculative about, but to prove your point you're going to need more than domain registration dates, trademark dates, and anything else that isn't very solid.

Maybe find out the name of the business that was supposedly started in 1991 and go from there?

chevrolet.com was registered in 1994, but my arguement still remains :)

Google is useful...

comphosting, you seem to have a major attitude problem!

What we post on our website is 100% the truth.
Our company has been in business since 1991.
Same PA Sales Tax ID# for 12 years straight...amongst many other things for 12 years...

Our company was founded in 1991, as a hobby company, entered the computer business a few years later, and entered the webhosting business in 1996. We changed our name in 1996, and changed our domain name in 1998.

Therefore we truthfully claim our company has been in business since 1991.

Should I go with Dedicated Now or should I wait for the Nocster X-Mas Sale?

We are releasing our sale specs on Monday.
Pre-orders will be accepted at that time.
Servers will begin to be supplied on the 15th.
Sale should run until the end of the month.

For what we have planned, you'll find it is going to be worth the wait.

The 15th is when my next payment is do for my current dedicated host, which I want to move from now.
Is there info up on the Nocster/Burstnet site about the deal?
In regards to DedicatedNOW, has the setup fee been waved again?
Looks like either DN or Nocster is going to get my business. Just need some more details.
Seeing as how I am not that well versed with dedicated servers, help is a definite plus. I also need to move from an ensim box to Cpanel. I've heard that there is some import or transfer program for this?

Thanks,
David

Yes, CPanel has an account transfer program but only works if you have root access to the server the existing account is on.

You can transfer Albananza, Ensim, CPanel, Plesk and I believe some others. www.cpanel.net has the full list :)

We have a setup fee and a no setup fee plan.

Is this the grand opening special where you have not setup fee, or was there a package that gave the same rates as the one currently listed with a setup fee, sans the setup fee? ie. $119 a month , No setup fee.

Thanks,
David

(Hope I didn't get too confusing)

$149.95 Monthly is no setup fee PIII
$169.95 Monthly is no setup fee P4

So, those are the Specials listed above that you originally offered?

Does anyone know if this is the type of specials that Nocster offers when they do their zero setup fee? Rates are raised monthly for the specials?
Just curious. Trying to understand.
Thanks,
David

No, they are not. we will never be offering the $99 no setup fee again, i do believe.

NO, we DO NOT raise monthly rates when we have our "no setup fee" sales...

That would be a payment plan/extension, not a sale.

Nocster/Burstnet x-mas offer:
Wow! nice offer...512 mb ram. If only I had waited a little longer.
Oh well, no complains and very happy with the server performance and excellent support.

Come on Sean, you've been here long enough to know that you could should have PMed the user asking the question instead of advertising (and therefore taking the thread offtopic) in a forum that was comparing your company to another.

As I've said before, the professionalism you've shown on this board is enough for me to never go with a Burst type company, but I do like how you completely avoided it when I questioned your "12 years in business" crap.

:eek:
Was that blatant advertising in a NON advertising forum.. shame on you !! :eek:

We were specifically asked for the information...we were just responding to that request. The post was pretty relavant to the thread I felt...

MODS - If you think this should not be here...feel free to modify that post...and just put a link to the thread in the Offers section :-)

would it have been better if BurstNET said:

We now offer no setup fee on our new xmas specials. Check out our sale webpage for more information!

I don't see a difference in what BurstNET posted and what jayglate posted. Both are very similar. If no one is complaining about jayglates' post, I don't see the big deal with BurstNET's.

Then the rules do not matter then (Although Jayglate did not post a direct "in your face" link to a special offer).. if one does all can , is that it? :D

Of course the rule matters but i'm just pointing something out. Both users violated the rules and I will edit them out accordingly.

edit: Which I did :D
