    Question for Hosting Companies

    How commonplace is it to charge a customer for needed ram upgrades? As in, instead of them just adding it, I need to purchase the ram.
    How commonplace is it for a hosting company to charge you for a switch? I had to buy this 6k juniper switch when we were getting attacked because the switch they had us on was 2 basic d link switches. I'm just curious as to your opinions. If I'm wrong please tell me. If I'm right please let me know too. I feel like I'm being bent over a keg.

      6k for a switch? Never heard of such a thing. Monthly fee for adding 1 time ram without switching server... doesn't sound right either.

              The last hosting i was dealing with was trying to pull so much funny stuff like this or worst.

              You should get in contact with Roby http://gfy.com/business-services/122...ng-24-7-a.html

              Moving server was a bitch but it was the best decision i have made this year so far

                  Yea, I know right? It's like the hardware is mine. I mean it is, and I made sure after paying these fees, but still, any of my previous hosts never charged me retail for server parts. Infact they never charged me at all. Also, I was building my own server and needed 100 4tb hard drives. I asked if they could do me a solid and purchase them and I'd pay them back. They were like sure, and the price they came back with was like 15% higher than amazon and new egg. Infact it was the same as the shelf price at micro center. I was like sheeeeeeeit, in my clay davis voice

                      You are being treated like a fool and ass raped without lube. Tell them to go fuck themselves (after you leave to a new host)!

                          In dedicated hosting? That's how it goes. The resource cost them money, so it costs you money.

                          That's a bit different. Do you own the router now? Doesn't sound like you're dealing with a good hosting company if they thought d-link switches were suitable infrastructure for critical use. A highend Juniper switch can also cost a good penny depending on the model. What model Juniper switch did they deploy?
                          If you won't feel as good, I won't feel as cheap.

                                      Well, depending on the nature of the ddos attack, you may actually need that. Probably has 10gigabit interfaces and routing capabilities right?

                                          Yes,
                                          It's like 10gb per port I think and has sfp modules that go to 40 (i think)

                                              Sounds like a pretty dope switch. You'll definitely get good resale value out of it if you ever sell it. Juniper gear is also extremely reliable and secure, my previous employer (mid-size webhosting / colo / ip transit provider) actually preferred Juniper over Cisco, their latest expansion is all Juniper.

                                              Who is the hosting company if you don't mind me asking? Looks like dukedollars is hosted by isprime, is it them?

                                                      Yes, i think 20 hours is included in the contract and anything over that it's hourly
