Whatcha got under the hood? (Hosting Level)

rabid_nerd · 03-15-2004, 12:41 PM

Still looking for a host?

Are you on a dime-a-dozen cheap hosting plan?

Do you have a "reseller" hosting account?

Do you have a dedicated server(s) at a server farm?

Do you have your hosting server at your business location or you ARE the server farm?

Do you run your server from home?

Other

===========
Just curious.

Ja$on · 03-15-2004, 12:47 PM

I use a virtual(shared) account with oxeo.com. My virtual account there is better then most dedicated.

Tippy · 03-15-2004, 12:58 PM

I currently have 2 Reseller accounts, one for General sites and there other for my Naughty stuff, looking/hoping to get a dedicated soon.

Tippy, jh3,

Let us know who you are using so we can check them out.

rabid_nerd · 03-15-2004, 01:07 PM

FWIW I just have a basic Dedicated RedHat 9 with WHM/cPanel through EV1servers.net

I used to have a NT Server through SkyNetWeb but they have sucked since being bought by valueweb and moved to florida

Elefekt · 03-15-2004, 01:21 PM

Dedicated here.

Anthony · 03-15-2004, 01:52 PM

Dedicated for me, too.

OxDomains · 03-15-2004, 02:38 PM

How does someone go about doing this?

Killswitch · 03-16-2004, 05:26 AM

me and my friend purchased a 80gig space, 1000gig bandwidth server from managed.com to run our network of sites, which i think is about 10 or so

server really gets a beating as we figured with the traffic alot of our sites get, theres atleast 200 random people on the server at any given second

Darren · 03-16-2004, 06:12 AM

I got a very nice reseller package with TekAdvantage!

What specifically do you mean...?

I have 12 Servers, 9 of which are used by my clients for there companies... I can't see any need for someone else to need that many servers other than if they have a similar client base. A Cage is very expensive at an NOC, but i've been doing this for quite sometime so I know how to shop for the services that I require.

Pm me if you need specifics...

rabid_nerd · 03-16-2004, 10:05 AM

How about the "3 to run from home"...

I assume you've got a nice dedicated link at home? A fractional T1 or T3 or something?

trying to get a t3 line at the moment... i will be using 2 for game servers (if they do well i will move to noc) and the other one will be a live test box...

rabid_nerd · 03-16-2004, 02:18 PM

i know prices can range regionally but have prices for T1s and T3s dropped like everything else has?

OxDomains · 03-16-2004, 02:59 PM

the price in NY are never lower than anywhere else in the country

03-16-2004, 05:41 PM

This is interesting stuff. I'm basically a newb to this area and am currently wading through it all while building a bunch of mini-sites for my names- mostly simple 3-4 pagers that I plan to interlink by subject, and point to my DN sales site. My alternatives, so far, for multisite hosting, range from a neighbor up the street who runs servers from his home (50 sites @$30/mo) to an offer I received that will run 100 sites, 1-4 pagers and 3 larger for $100/year, which, gulp, sounds to good to be true. I'm on a biz cable service w/ download speeds in avg range of 300-450 kbps, so *I think*some flexibility there for running a server or using a virtual server from my pc, but still sifting it out.

rabid_nerd · 03-16-2004, 05:50 PM

careful there.. download speeds mean squat for servers!

Me, I'm an early adopter to cable in an area that just got it two years ago - I still get > 1.5Mb down, but my up maxes out @ 256K.

03-17-2004, 02:01 AM

Hear ya. Gotta do some homework. My upload speed hovers around the 120's. I'm fairly sure I'm a bit away from my own server- after my ducks are lined up in other areas. Will decide on multi-site server and start putting up the sites I have ready, rather than trying to make one big splash. ready. (Will also get more productive after the first monthly payments start going out.

Cindy · 03-17-2004, 08:16 PM

I host my personal domains and a couple of other people on a reseller from Symplexity.net at a great deal. It's got more than enough space and bandwidth for my needs.

The Equivocate · 03-17-2004, 08:21 PM

Shared reseller, though at the rate I'm opening sites and using up bandwidth and server resources I may have to switch to a dedicated plan soon...
