    Help me figure out something about hosting

    need a new server.
    Right now I have 2 servers with servermatrix.com, (1 gig ram and 100Mbps uplink, each), but still I don't think the servers are fast enough. I chosen servermatrix because of their low prices.

    Was that a smart decision, or?
    I know "you get what you pay" but servermatrix seams like a big company with many costumers, and Im assuming that their low prices are only to get as many costumers as possible.

    But is that the real reason why they have low prices?
    I see that many big guys/tgps are hosted at isprime.com, their prices are much higher then servermatrix, but if the servers are much faster then I guess the prices are ok.

    So whats up with servermatrix, low prices and shit, whats the catch?
    I just wonder em I sitting here with slow hosting?...Not realizing that my sites could be much faster with another company?

    I want a fast hosting/server, help me out guys to understand this hosting issue once and for all.

    ServerMatrix and ThePlanet have very bad support.

    ISPrime are one of the best hosting companies.

      Support is also very important, but I can't complain about servermatrix support, every support ticket I opened I got a reply and got help.

      But the main question for me is about speed, should I move my stuff to another company, and would I receive faster hosting by doing that?
      And which companies has the fastest servers and good reputation?

      I need advice from experianced webmasters who knows a lot about hosting.

      Thanks in advance!

        Hey cash, speed to all your surfers is about pipe, peering and routing. Not about servers. A slow machine will nick you a little but usually low prices are about full pipes, full pipes mean few peers. mayn will say they only have "premium" verio or level 3 or whatever. by the one trace i did, it appears that server matrix is hosted in a Theplanet facility. so maybe they have a gig connect to them or who knows, they are thus only as good as the planet.Thing is, maybe they have great server admins, so that can be a plus. Hard to say. I have12 peers out my main hosting facility in LA. The others in LA and in SF, seattle and vancouver have similar. What that means is that I connect directly to aol, not through level3. If i need to connect to level3, i am directly connected to them. Difference is we are an isp. I would think isprime is the same, but not sure they would have the same massive peering. could be, i just don't know them. After a few traces it looks like they have some peers too. Anyway, sooner or later you get what you pay for. It can run great for a long time, but can they re route you and your customers when shit goes down? I have guys who sell hosting out of my network. They are awesome admins and add service and value to my offerings. That service is worth money though. Just my BS network musing for the day.

          http://www.servermatrix.com/about_us.html

          ServerMatrix is the entry level division of The Planet, focused on servicing the small-to-mid level dedicated marketplace.
          Check out their network infrastructure on that page.

          Let me add again, ServerMatrix & ThePlanet support is very very bad

          If you want to run a large Thumb TGP with high traffic (i.e. 100k+ per day), then ThePlanet's speed is great.

              Anytime, I don't just sell hosting, I am an actual cerified network engineer, just happens i like porn. OK I love it, if you need a server let me know , I can have em up in a few hours usually, but always feel free to ask me general questions, customer or not.

                    I really don't like SM/TP when it comes to technical support as of late. TP, which usually has great tech support, has been backlogged with all the new customers following the opening of their datacenter. And since SM always receives second support priority, you'd be screwed. As far as I'm concerned, SM is only useful for their unmetered boxes.

                    Check out www.layeredtech.com - Great deals, great hardware, great network, and great support.
