You might want to move this to the Requests fourm. Anyways, no one can offer 100% uptime! Maybe 99.9999 but its impossible to guarantee that the server will NEVER have a problem!

do yourself a favor, call up exodus and see what they charge... for what you want... cuz they'll probably be the closest to 100% uptime there is...

You're better off buying yourself a server and colocating it somewhere at that price. You won't find anything under $200

just because they are making cutbacks to save money doesn't mean they are not financially stable... just means they aren't stupid like the dotcoms that went under which made the blind assumption: if you spend enough money, you'll make money eventually...
they are just shutting down datacenters that aren't making more than they're costing, right?

From what I understand, C&W is closing all US Exodus datacenters.
I don't think Exodus offers a 100% uptimes SLA, but could be wrong. I surfed around on their site and did not see one anywhere.Mike @ Xiolink.com

-------------
Look at their financials, they are making cuts becuase they are not financially stable, the cuts should help.

i have looked at their financials... they've turned a PROFIT every year 'cept 2002... but take into consideration, they have been active buying up other companies/etc... this latest slashing of expenses is just to "get rid of the fat"... (thats what i'd figure it to be)... although their shareholder dividends had peaked in 2000, its higher in 2002 than it was in 2001, 1999 and 1998...
the day google/ebay/overture/yahoo hosts with someone that doesn't give a 100% SLA... i'll laugh my a$$ off... lol... i have one of their contracts sittin' in my mailbox... i'll look at it again, but i could have sword it had a 100% uptime guarantee in it... hmm... even uunet gives a 100% uptime guarantee in their SLA...
BTW, I forgot to mention you should call your C&W rep to see which DCs are closing. Please do not take our words for it as I have heard so many rumors.Mike @ Xiolink.com

A lot of them do. BTW, Yahoo has servers at Level3 which (I believe) does not offer a 100% uptime SLA (start laughing )
http://www1.cw.com/template_03.jsp?ID=us_16_05_01 ... in the event of yahoo's servers hosted on level3 (by exodus) goes down, traffic would automatically be redirected to another server... on another network if need be... all transparently...

I don't know of ANY ISP who offers 100% network uptime, this is why hosting companies have multiple providers. Heck, if I could get 100% uptime with only 1 provider, our costs would decrease tremendously!
The reason we have had such good results with our network uptime is we have redundant connections from two different top tier 1 providers. This would not be possible with either of them alone.
I agree, 100% uptime is not possible with only one provider.Brad @ Xiolink

100% uptime is impossible - as any provider would go down -
$100-120 for a win2k server - its going to be rough. you may want to colocate.

I could be wrong, but I think Yahoo bailed on Exodus. You may want to double check that, but I am pretty sure.

"100% uptime is impossible" ... no its not... professional datacenters owned/operated by true tier-1 networks... unless theres another 9/11-type scenario, there are some that'd never go down... ... ... simply due to the amount of fiber/alternative routes available to a client/server...

99.00% is pretty poor uptime
if thats all u need, i'd say unitedcolo (they'll do a win2k install 4 u if u provide a key)...

doesn't UUNet say 100% uptime guarantee in their SLA (when i had a feed from 'em they did, did it change?)? (leaving the only probable point of failure being the local loop/routing equip on client side)... pick a true tier-1 provider (not cogent or some other bullsh*t company)... and then get into one of their own "premier" (as verio would put it) datacenters... with all the alternative routes/etc, u'd b set.... i mean... aside from paying out the @$$ for rackspace, it b all good...

I don't think so. I think they have moved all of their interests out of Exodus

hmm... never noticed ebay leave... hmm... well... as far as the yahoo thing... it is refering to yahoo broadcast+media+finance... yahoo broadcast isn't the main site... is it? i mean... i know for ppl on west coast it loads off level3... but exodus' content delivery service also loads off level3 on west coast (i gotta find URL i had 2 figure that out)...
cuz u gotta remember... yahoo is divided into subsections... just cuz 1 section moves doesn't mean all of 'em do...
but east it loads off exodus 4 me... hmm... http://visualroute.visualware.com/ shows it loading off exodus... hmm...

very odd... chat.yahoo.com if u do a traceroute from that visualroute place... it also shows it going over exodus... heh... (from here it was via a direct peer onto the yahoo network)...
and i figure level3 has as much peering to verio as c&w does... heh... cuz when i do a traceroute from my servers on verio in san jose, it goes through level3...
but take note (on visualroute): www.yahoo.com loads from directly within an exodus datacenter (in sterling, va) whereas chat.yahoo.com seems to be in yahoo's facility in santa clara, with data only going over a exodus feed (possibly only a peer)...
