All of these are month to month. All Dells are located in our newest facility. As usual, let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

[JonL]

For the Dell PowerApp 100, what make and model is the 600MHz processor? I'm guessing a Intel P3 or celeron?

Is there an uptime guarentee?

Is your network pure Internap?

[AmericanBizTech]

The PowerApp.Web 100 is a 650-MHz Pentium III server with 256 Mbytes of RAM, one 9-Gbyte 7,200-RPM SCSI III hard drive, two 10/100 embedded Ethernet controllers, a CD/diskette drive and a glazed donut to go. (just seeing if you are paying attention)

Uptime has always been well over 99%... real world uptime. Maybe one of my current customers will pipe in here.

The Dells are located in our new facility which can be read about here: http://www.americanwebhost.com/aboutus.html

[SolidJoe]

Brad's center is nothing short of amazing, I had close to 100% uptime when I was there. Speed was around 300k/sec downloading, but I'd rather have "slow" speeds and rock solid uptime than a fast network that's always down! Excellent choice when you go with him. Nice guy to chat with on aim too

[JonL]

Is there any way to get the box in the Internap center? Also, if you could provide a test download and IP to ping in both DCs that would be excellent.

[AmericanBizTech]

I don't mind putting the PowerApp in our Cobalt Colo but I'll tell you right now that you shouldn't see a speed advantage either way.

I ran a few traceroutes from one of Qwest's looking glasses on the west coast for grins:

As you can see the times are pretty much the same and can of course vary from one trace to the next but I think this is pretty representative of what you will usually see. To prove my point... a trace from Virginia:

As you can see the results are flip flopped... it just depends on where you trace from and a whole host of variables but we consider each pretty much equal in performance and have been very happy with Internap and Yipes both.

[AmericanBizTech]

We made a correction, the 2.4Ghz was initially priced with a $125.00 setup but was supposed to be $75.00 as now noted above and on our site.

[minsight]

I've dealt with Brad and have been a very satisfied customer. I don't have a need for a server right now, or I'd be taking one of these.

Consider me piping in..... Service has never been an issue. I am glad to have found someone that can offer "real world" server setups for such a great price.

[AmericanBizTech]

Gee... thanks guys!

Happy customers makes it all worth while....
