The only good deal I can see is when you lease the "Standard Server 1U server" and colo it with you so the setup fee is waived. The hardware pricing is very expensive. I get AMD XPs and P4's for half the money but ok.
The leasing options are good though for someone who does not have the money for a full server.
Question: How can UUNET badwith be multihomed? I mean if you have multihomed bandwith and use UUNET I understand but "multihomed UUNET" is not valid. UUNET is UUNET...
Sorry I cannot give a thumbs up for this offer. In some special cases it can be of use though and if one leases the basic servers and colos it with you it is a decent bargain.

Re standard server software pack I and 300 GB bandwidth (which is the same price now as then). That would be 75 for the server rental and 60 for the transfer. 135/mth.

Now I must apologize to everyone for the tone of my response but I'm tired of competitors trying to spoil each others posts on the Board. I don't think that most of you depend on NocSol to tell you what a good deal is and what is not.Last edited by OneOfThem; 08-26-2002 at 11:01 AM.

Bit hypocritical ShareFile considering your Cogent XP offerings a while back... but we won't go into that.
OneOfThem's offers look fine to me.

Wmac,
Well, the Ensim and MailMax Liscences allow for unlimited number of domains and users but as with anything the server resources really do dictate what is appropriate.One of Them - them@theycommunicate.com

Wow, thats a really fine offer! A Windows 2000 Server for $85/mo. Where is the datacenter located?
How much for an extra hdd in the Standard Server 1U server? Maybe 2x20 GB instead of 1x40GB for software raid1.

are these managed servers? e.g. update kernals, if hardware breaks, replace them, reboot them, etc?
also can you install cpanel and do you support cpanel, if so how much?
thanksI have servers at: NetDepot/GNAX (A), SoftLayer (A), LiquidWeb (B+), DedicatedNow (B+), Nectartech (B) and more!

JDMundo,
The datacentre is in Toronto Canada @ the UUNet Tor6 colo facility. I'll get you pricing on the drives in the morning, but it should only add about 10/mth to the server pricing.
universal2001,
Yes these are managed servers. Kernal updates etc. are distributed via the Ensim control centre as updates become available. We handle hardware repairs/replacements and reboots (although there are APC ports to allow the client to do reboots). If you purchase a server there is a 2 year warranty on the system so you're covered in that way.
Unfortunately we do not support cpanel and do not install it, we're just focusing on Ensim for now. It makes life easier for us. You are of course welcome to install CPanel on your server yourself.

Hello,
I am interested in your offers and would like to ask you a few questions.
Lets say I rented "Executive Server 1U" for $140/mo. Does this mean that after 2 years, if the server breaks you will repair it for me? Im asking this because I'm trying to decide the benefits of PURCHASING vs RENTING. If you will be offering to replace the equipment after 2 years, renting would probably be the way to go.
Also, can you confirm these for me.
1. All boxes come with a remote reboot APC?
2. Do you offer any uptime guarantees?
3. How much would it cost for 300GB Multi-Hommed Transfer?
4. How long have you been in business?
5. How long have you been at THIS datacenter (UUNet TOR6)
6. Is it possible requesting 100-150 IPs at a time if justified?
7. Are there techs at the NOC 24/7? I have been with various providers where my system is DOWN due to requiring a manual FSCK or motherboard failure and thus requires a replacement. 7/10 times, the provider has no-one there and requires a tech sent in resulting in countless hours of downtime. Do you have any sort of Hardware Replacement SLA?
8. Can you tell me the price for this setup (monthly+setup fee)?
* Executive Server 1U server (Rent)
* 300GB Bandwidth
* 150 IP addresses
* Software Pack 1
* Remote Reboot APC
9. Last but not least, how long does it take to setup these servers?
10. OK, lets say I BUY a server from you OUTRIGHT and then COLO it with you. Is this still FULLY managed? and do I still get an APC box? Also, what happens if a motherboard or RAM fails?? Do you replace it and then bill me the cost of that part? Is someone there todo this for me if im colocating or not?
Thank you. I look forward to buying a few servers soon!Last edited by universal2001; 08-28-2002 at 03:56 AM.

universal2001,
If you are renting a server we are responsible for the hardware repair/replacement no matter how long has passed.
1.Yes all boxes come with a remote APC port.
2.Network uptime is guaranteed at 99.9%
3.300GB = $60/mth
4.We have been in business for 3 Years (2 as Panterra Media Corp.) and after a partnership change, 1 as They Communicate Inc.
5.We have been at TOR6 since January of this year.
5.(b)IP address: 66.48.68.40
6.Yes you can get a large IP block if justified, but we really will require proper justification as our upstream is quite diligent in enforcing ARIN rules.
7. No, there are not techs at the datacentre or NOC 24/7 and we have not implemented a hardware SLA as of yet. I can tell you however that our office is about 10 minutes from the datacentre and we try to keep hardware for standard system configs on hand.
8. The configuration you noted would be
140(rental)+60(transfer) = 200/mth
A last months deposit of 200 would be required and may be applied to you final month after 6 months.
9. Normally 3-4 business days.
10. If you buy the server form us it is managed. We will NOT, however, manage software that is not in our software packs. You do get an APC port (not a box, a port). The server has a 2 year warrantee so if the motherboard or RAM fails it will be replaced at our cost and by our personnel.
Let me know is you have any more questions.

Kim,
Uptime 99.9% network uptime
There is not a 30 Money back guarantee in place
You may install MS SQL on the server and we can install it for you if you have a license, but we do not sell licensees.One of Them - them@theycommunicate.com

There was a problem with an MX record on one of the name servers which may have caused your e-mail to bounce. I'll send you the information you requested within the next day or so.
