Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Colocation and Data Centers : newbie with data center questions

[lostnspace]

hello,
i am about to get a resellers account with a web host who has servers at Interserve in secaucus, N.J and Hurricaine Electric, freemont, Ca
Do these data centers have good reputations?..his other servers are in The Planet but unfortunately they are not available.
any input would be appreciated

Hello,

HE.NET has a decent reputation, network, and datacenter. They are also very cheap, which is a plus to some customers.

Thanks, Kyle

I would vote 'no' for interserver.

Not worth the money.

HE has consistently had one of the lowest ping times in my experience throughout the years. That's a plus if I were to choose among data centers.

No idea about Interserver though.

Cheers

As long as you're with Hurricane in Freemont they're good. Here in Chicago they're sub-par.

Can you please elaborate on what you mean by sub par and post a example. Thanks.

HE is a very good datacenter. We have colocated there, and love it

HE is good depending on where you pick it up. Large hub are much better than their smaller sites. Freemont and NYC would be the best place to get them. Anything mid / centeral US I would stay far away from, but I do hear they are working to make things better in those parts.
