What is the best company to provide umetered 30 MBPS dedicated server?

[Cybercon]

what are you expecting from "unmetered"???

To be clear, hosting companies have to pay on a per meg basis.

As an example, a hosting company could offer you a full port, say 10mbps or 100mbps, but still meter your bandwidth.

The general rule is, if a hosting company is offering "unmetered" they aren't following a good business model and will probably have long term troubles.

For that, I would recommend rackonline.com / offrack.com - the same company though.

100mbit burstable @ San Jose. Good network

Yes I agree with you that unmtered when you charge $20/month is rediculus and is false because they are depending on the client to use only a bit of that badnwidth, but I'm talking about a real company that actually offers me a 30 MBPS connection that the only limitation is the connection itself. If you take a look at ev1 they offer umetered 10 MBPS so I'm looking for 30 MBPS

What bandwidth quality and your budget?

That is not necessarily true at all. Plenty of hosting companies, albeit larger ones, can offer unmetered services without question. They make their money and does not mean they have a bad business model.

How about this, say a company offers an unmetered 10mbps port for $1000/mo. Assuming their bandwidth costs are less than 100$/mb, they make money. Now assume, for the sake of discussion, that their bandwidth bills are 25$/mb. Profiting 75$/mb on this 10mbps product is a bad business model? quite the contrary.
Ofcourse we know that the profit margins can dip way lower than that but as long as people do the proper math to calculate for bandwidth costs, infrastructure costs, support, etc.


In short, unmetered isnt really a bad thing if its done properly. But of course, why would anyone running a business offer something for cheaper than it costs them to provide it? Unless they're idiots, they wouldnt.

contact ********** - sales@**********.com
Im pretty sure that at a 30mbps commit you can get it at $60/mbps.

They have a very good network and offer a 100% uptime guarantee - i have some machines colo'ed with them - and everything is superb!

This isn't always true. For the most part is, but there are some lead in products and such, for instance, domains, cpanel, value addons, that are offered below cost.

As for unmetered, companies like EV1/etc. can get away with these. However, why would you wan a unmetered connection? Why not just pay for what you use? In the end, with a unmetered connection, you are still paying for 10mbit, whether you 3, or 8...you are paying for 10

Now of course with EV1, there's not many options, you pay for 700GB, or 10mbit, no inbetween.

However, with others, mostly those that focus on bandwidth a bit more, you can pay on 95th, etc.

[amc-james]

Well by throwing in promotional products (domains, cpanel), they're just making less profit, its still profit nonetheless. I'm sure noone of us would be in business if it wasn't for profit

[sharkman]

I'm looking to pay $350-500 I hope this is not a rediculus demand

[webtech]

$350-$500 would get you a 10mbit unmetered. 30mbit would cost you atleast $1200 for a good network.

[Jake Weg]

for that budget expect to get around 10mbit

[Nutty]

Not a place on the planet i am aware of that can offer 30mbps for $350-$500. Cheapest b/w i have seen on a 100mb commit is $25 per, even if you could get 30mb of it for $25 per, your talking $750 cost for b/w alone, plus the price of the server.

[webtech]

point is for $25/mbps your not going to get much except Cogent or HE which is 90% WilTel and the other 10 is Between AboveNet and Level3

[sharkman]

guy sorry I got confused it's 30 MBIT not 30 MBPS.

My apology
