    [ASK] Dedicated Server 1GBPS port speed at West Coast (LA) data center

    Hi all, I'm looking for dedicated server with have minimum of this spec's:
    Intel quad core (Dual quad core is good ), min. Xeon x3440
    18GB of RAM or more
    2x1.5TB sata or more + Hw Raid 1 / Raid 10
    10TB of monthly bandwidth at 1 gbps port (unmetered if possible)
    Backup space if any
    Free reboot, remote reboot
    Fully/semi management if possible
    Data center located at west coast (which have lowest latency to south east of Asia)
    the problem is, my budget only nearly $350 - $400/month
    If you have dedicated server promotion it's very welcome

    I see WebNX has offer clearance promo in a low price, but I'm so late for it
    Thanks in advance & Sorry for my poor English
    regards,

    I think burst would be the best for you.
    The ping to asia is quite decent.

    If you find some negative review about Burst, i recommend you read the full thread to know the full story. IMO, They have a good Value for money score.

    BurstNET is on the East coast, not the West coast. They are in Scranton, PA.

    There have been rumors of them opening a West coast location, but as far as I know, they have not yet done so. Their website is hosted in Scranton, however.

    Burst are good value for the money.
    IMO most companys i have seen take ages for customer services to respond. as its not critical. if you want the best value register for reseller status. you save $100's. and then get the KVM for $25. it saves you fees for reloads.

    And get some kind of remote boot port it saves you a lot of time. And Money
    If you try burst make sure you get these things.

    I won't go with a provider who do not provide KVM or either IMPI.

    it because, IP from my country code is always detected as fraud by their billing system :lol:
    Scranton is near with New Jersey, it is absolutely in East Coast not West Coast (Googling it: Scranton, US + map)

    As I previously mentioned, Scranton is in PA, which is just south of New York. It is on the East Coast US.

    Big cities on the West coast as far as servers go would be Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle, etc.

    If you can live with Seattle, maybe 100tb.com can make you a deal for something close to that, at 400$.

    A 376$ Inferno (dual quad, 12GB, 2x500GB) is already close to your needs. or maybe they can upgrade a 286$ Flame server until it gets closer to your specs.

    We have excellent Asian routes, and good peering with some major Asian providers...so our east coast network may actually be faster than some west coast providers, believe it or not

    Our west coast location should be operational in two weeks or so.
    It will initially only be VPS services, but should grow into dedicated servers and co-location as well, based on demand, within 2-3 months following opening.

    Did you inquire with us about this?
    Sometimes foreign calls from the fraud verification system have issues.
    Just get ahold of us, and we can get it sorted out for you

    HI, thanks for replying my post
    Could you let me know your IP ping & speed test?

    Seattle generally has great connectivity to Asia. If that's where most of his traffic is headed, there are some great options up here.

    I'm not sure why anyone would consider an east coast provider if the goal was best (reasonably) possible connectivity to Asia. In the same breath I wouldn't expect someone to consider a west coast provider for European connectivity.

    Pacificrack renamed to QuadraNet. Email WebNX and they might be able to do you a special deal.

    OP should definitely not believe this sales pitch.

    I've had alot of experience sourcing providers for Asian companies, and believe me when I say that using a West Coast host matters a lot when it comes to latency.
    For latency-sensitive applications, eg. VOIP/Gaming/etc, I would certainly not recommend you to settle for less.
    The laws of physics are pretty hard to defy, and its simply lesser distance to travel from West Coast to Asia.

    Try searching for providers in these locations:
    - Los Angeles
    - San Francisco
    - San Jose
    - Portland

    If you're looking at cheap GBPS port speeds, your best bet will likely be a provider using Hurricane-Electric bandwidth.

    Nonsense...distance as the crow flies is not everything....fiber miles and routing/hops come heavily into play here.
    Just because something is west coast, does not mean it will be faster. You obviously have not seen some of the routes some backbones use these days. I've seen some traces that hope from CA to Chicago, the back out west, before heading over the Pacific. Not to mention if you are on a carrier without an extensive Asian network, they are going to take several hops atleast until they get to one that does...
    General west coast will be better than east coast for Asia, but that will not always be the case.

    PS - We use PCCW, Hurricane Electric, and have extension Asian peering (which will only improve once we light up LA very shortly), including China Telecom....and hence have excellent Asian connectivity, even though coming from the east coast.

    Here is a trace from our network to PCCW in Hong Kong...notice what having the right connections can do to bring hops down, and hence increase speeds:

    root [~]# traceroute www.pccw.com

    ...you'll find that pretty darn good even compared to the west coast ;-)

    Now compare that to going across Comcast from our same city:
