Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Colocation and Data Centers : $150 - 1u and 1MBPS - Good Deal?

[Mrdredd]

Im just looking for some opinions on this price.

Located in Tampa and bandwidth carriers are Level3, Internap, Aleron, UUNET, and TimeWarner on BGP4.

100% Network SLA

80MS or lower ping times nationwide guaranteed

Clean IPs

1U and 1MBPS for $150/month.

Is it a good deal for someone looking for only 1U and quality bandwidth?

What would be a better price?


Thanks

yes

<$150.

Good value, IMHO.

[volfman]

Real good value, hard to find. Seems like a good mix.

[VH-Robert]

Well break it down. The 1mbps (~324GB) is about $100/mo. from a Datacenter or a reseller with a cage. and about $35-$50 for the 1U space.

[Mrdredd]

Oh, and theres an 80MS or lower guaranteed ping NATIONWIDE.

[VH-Robert]

Well I've seen the same price in a lot of Datacenters, no biggie. Are you going to tell us who it is?

[Mfjp]

It's Neutelligent, it seems like. Tampa gave it away.

They dont have internap or uunet...granted they probably tell people they do(go run some traceroutes at their website http://visualroute.c@ndidhosting.com (diff name same company)...btw hostw@y owns them now). Most of their traffic goes out aleron and epik(who also is alot of aleron).

As for that pricing, thats nothing special these days, some could consider it expensive.

I believe they also recently dropped Level3. As stated by a customer leaving their services for ours.

They have Level3 and UUNET, I ran traces from a bunch of differant places and went in on both at differant locations.
Internap is coming in shortly for which they are dropping EpiK for.

Sure inbound, but what about outbound...its not different than the tons of hosts that have uunet inbound and cogent for outbound.

I wish I could get 324GB out of 1mbps. I would be happy to get 250GB. The 95% thing must be killing me because I'm right at my 1mbps and my usage is 90-120GB. Its a real pain, because when I switch to using a rack instead of colo by the U, the plan uses mbps. I was told, that I could get between 300-325, but I'm not getting anything close. My business model requires 250-275 minimum.

This is a real killer. I think most of us who offer colocation services priced in GB have a difficult time rationalizing on how to convert the Mbit pricing to GB. Especially considering GB contains only one way of transit, which is undefined in itself, and Mbit contains two clearly defined means of transit (inbound and outbound).

Aside from that, I never got 324GB estimates per Mbit. Some quote 320, I don't know where they get that either. It's more accurately peaked at 316.40625GB per month (as defined by 30 days). I guess when somone thinks this way they think in the "most pushed" environment, which would last during the longest month, or 31 days--that would be 326.953125GB.

Either way, all those numbers are fairly unrealistic.

it's still a good deal for the price..
