    Mbps connections.........

    If you had a choice which would you prefer a 10Mbps set to full or 8Mbps burstable?

    8Mbps burstable, since you have more bandwidth when you need it.

    Depends on the price, what you need, how much you use, etc.

    Price is 399.00 10Mbps full

    or 510.00 8Mbps burstable...

    Free IP's for each, 1U per Mbps for each,,

    and it will be for basic hosting applications,, and not much dynamic content..

    go the 10mbps, odds are in you rfavor that when you do need the full ten you would have already had the cash flow to justify it.

    ok say your site is 5mbps all week long but on the weekend is totally flooded and could burst 15mbit or 20mbits

    well with 10mbit capped you saturate out your port on the weekends on dont push your full 10 on the weekdays. and with the 8mbit burstable and i'm assuming its based on monthly average you can burst to 100mbit on the weekends as long as your average balances out to 8mbit overall the month.

    so

    10mbit unburstable (capped) for steady traffic no big traffic spikes
    8mbit burstable to 100mbit for not so steady and bursts above 10mbit

    hope that clears it up

    If its noncogent I doubt it would be average. Most likely 95% tile on the 8Mbit burstable.

    zdwebhosting, thanks now its a lot clearer. I finally think i understand what a burstably connection is....but how do they average it...like what if you sign up on a weekend and it goes over 8Mbps, does that mean your already above your average, considering you havnt yet gone under 8mpbs to bring the average down?

    well if its based on monthly average you can use mrtg (i'm assuming you know what this is) if not pm me

    and you can look @ the monthly graph it has in out, average under it and that is where you see the monthly average

    /edit mrtg does the average itself if its charged on that method

    The problem is i would like to resale space off of the servers im going to have located with this connection,, im afraid if i use the 10Mbps set to full i may run into problems...

    One of my problems right now is that all the IP's are assigned to the subnet which is a subnet of /27 over the 10U of space, and i have no means of limiting bandwidth or measuring on this subnet...

    The providor doesnt generally allow those features so the cost are high...

    Why not get a managed switch to connect all the servers to and run MRTG on each port?

    no thats not the way regular hosting goes maybe when selling a *mbps line capped but not anything normal or regular

    do this.

    buy the 8mbit line and then hook all the servers up to it via the switch then setup mrtg on each port of it and then your customers can use so much now if they go over charge them extra.

    dont just cut them off, that way they dont scream when thier customers sites go down and you still are'nt losing anything.
