700gb bandwidth, rackshack! - GoFuckYourself.com

Bear · 06-06-2003, 04:28 PM

Rackshack.net now offer 700gb bandwidth. Don't you think you still need to go to any other providers?

markell · 06-06-2003, 04:29 PM

rackshack sucks

detoxed · 06-06-2003, 04:29 PM

700GB with the same prices? Fuck thats a lot!

JamesK · 06-06-2003, 04:30 PM

fuck rackshack

Bear · 06-06-2003, 04:34 PM

Yes. the same price. A lot of people got suprise of that too.

Don't know why some people don't like rackshack. I have servers with them for a long time, they are one of the most reliable ISP out there. Check out their network map, how many upstream providers they got and how many server they host.

AdultNex · 06-06-2003, 04:37 PM

Reason why many people don't like Rackshack is because they don't know how to manage a server and go asking for help. Hence the term "unmanaged" is placed in the dictionary.

I was surprised at the bandwidth leap, even though many clients probably don't even come close to 700GB.

Bear · 06-06-2003, 04:38 PM

Yeah, they are unmanaged. Even if you can't manage your server, you can hire some to manage for you. I think the price is still lower than most other web hosting companies.

JamesK · 06-06-2003, 04:40 PM

fuck that

you can't manage it yourself and they refuse to manage it for u

so u pay them and they give u a cookie

that's it

49thParallel · 06-06-2003, 04:42 PM

Fantastic news! I am loyal supporter of Rackshack. If you know how to manage your own server, there simply is no better.

Why can't you manage it yourself? I have no experience with them. Would it be bad just to get a server there to host some TGPs or free sites?

Unless you pay a hefty fee, they won't manage it for you-- Which is why there is a difference between managed servers and unmanaged servers.

You can pay an admin to manage a server for you for about $60/month. Tack that onto the $99/month fee for RS servers, and you got a good deal.

I love it when newbies bash about something that's on their own fault.

Because he doesn't know how to manage a server. It's not that easy managing server. Updating kernels, installing Cpanel, etc. is a pain.

If you don't know how to manage a server, shell out the extra money for a managed server at a different provider.

detoxed · 06-06-2003, 04:48 PM

Can you manage a server for me? (anyone) ICQ me and talk to me

Maybe I am wrong but I thought alot of tgp's starting banning sites on rackshack servers? I was thinking of going with them til I heard that.

Maybe someone can confirm that isn't true? I'd love to get a server there.

Why would you do that?

The only reason I can think of is that Rackshack disallows adult content on their servers, I believe.

However, I know that WebInc.com is hosted on a RS server.

sextoyking · 06-06-2003, 04:51 PM

Rackshack has no problem with adult sites at all, just so they are legal, etc.

We have a few servers over there, and never have had a problem.

thanks'

lamrobertson · 06-06-2003, 04:55 PM

Like I said maybe I am wrong but I thought someone had told me that it was becuase of alot of cheaters. I am pretty sure I had confirmed it with three tgp's. NOw I can't remember who they were. Pink world was one but he said I could just email them. Wish I could remember the other ones.

sextoyking · 06-06-2003, 04:55 PM

Rackshack allows legal adult.

Now for those PEOPLE who don't want to manage there own server(s) or don't know how, I totally recommend this company, hands down, excellent service, tight on security, always will do updates automaticly, etc.

Best group around

http://www.easyservermanagement.com

The support rocks!!!!

Brujah · 06-06-2003, 05:13 PM

I've used them for a long time now too. No complaints.

MrSpeed · 06-06-2003, 05:23 PM

You can get server management for about $100/month. COmbine the with the 700g and you still have a pretty good deal.

fiveyes · 06-06-2003, 05:31 PM

I don't think it's just a matter of being able to (remotely) manage your own server with RackShack. Some actions require physical access to the box and, in my case at least, they were a bit remiss on handling things.

I once spent half a day having a server rebooted. This consisted of a series of trouble tickets being put in and someone closing the tickets saying the machine had been rebooted and was now accessable. I finally went into their chat and convinced someone that maybe a bit more than a reboot was going to be necessary.

They got back with me and said the system disk had been corrupted somehow and I needed a system restore. I paid eighty some dollars to have it expidited and done within three hours.

Six hours later, the server's still down and I start squawking again. Now they tell me the data disk is bad and needs replaced. I tell them to go ahead and replace the disk then and get me going.

Another day goes by until I can begin uploading the content while I reconfigure the machine with WebMin. Three and a half days total downtime and there was no amount of expertise on my part that could've shortened it by one minute. Oh, and they refused to refund the expidited system restore charge, even though I had ordered it on incomplete and erroneous information from them.

Heh. I don't care about hosting galleries on it. I have TGP sites to host. If a tgp doesn't want to trade with me because of my dedicated server choice then I don't need the trade. Hell, most tgps are on virtual hosting.

strainer · 06-06-2003, 06:06 PM

Best of all , my dual xenon boxes were just raised to 1200 gig.

Rackshack is the best, but don't do it unless you are a Linux pro or hire one.

I'll manage RS boxes for $100 a month. I'll only do plain RedHat though, not control panels. Too many security holes and sleepless nights to be worth $100 a month for them.

Plain RedHat is only makes sense if you only have a couple mostly static domains - otherwise its too much work.

psyko514 · 06-06-2003, 09:31 PM

so say i get a server with rackshack. is anything set up? or is it as if the server is straight out of the box?

i see they mention cpanel, ensim, plesk, etc. do they install them or do you install it yourself?

Bear · 06-06-2003, 09:50 PM

They got everything installed. Your job is to update some files if needed.

webair · 06-06-2003, 10:09 PM

not a bad price, even if it is an unmanaged server using primarily cogent bandwidth

Bear · 06-06-2003, 10:17 PM

No, they don't use cogent bandwidth. Check out their network map.

Jon2 · 06-06-2003, 10:18 PM

I had around 10 servers with rackshack...

They suck horribly...Had 3 servers hard drives go bad...2 servers had bad ram...And good god if you wanted to get a reboot...

I don't even remember how many restores I had to do because of the shit fucking up...Went 6 weeks trying to get them to tell me why the fuck my 10mbit server was only working at 1 mbit...After going thru quite a few people and getting to the head of networking...Finally got it fixed...Was glad when I left them after almost being with them a year...

But hey....Your choice :-)

Jon

sextoyking · 06-06-2003, 10:23 PM

Mike,

only some of the 10mbit servers used congent, all others have kick ass multi homed bandwith.
--------------------

Jon,

sounds like you had a bad experience. We have had servers there for over 2 yrs and never ever had a problem yet. Fast Servers, Bandwith, etc.

When you submit a TT for a reboot even at 3am, it's always usually done within 15 min. or so.

So if I get a server with them and want to set up 1 or 2 static sites with them, I should be fine?

Basically, I know very little about *nix and server management and I'd like to know how much I would need to know for simple, static sites.

webbcite · 06-06-2003, 10:56 PM

Rackshack has come a long way in the last year. Their reboots are much quicker and they are continually trying to improve their customer service.

Most of the horror stories you hear about are back when they were up and coming. Not to discredit those that had bad experiences...just saying that things have improved and are improving daily.

They are getting ready to make a number of big announcements regarding added features and service. The 700GB bandwidth increase is one that they let out early.

Hehe...Didn't even wanna go into it about customer service...

Had a very nice incident with one of the techs...Being called selfish is always fun :-)

But...Maybe they have changed...Maybe they haven't :-)

Webbcite,

good to see you around bro.

Hats off to you and your team for the best server management around.

Whether it's help at 2pm or an emergency at 3am, you guys have been there for us for along time now.

Anyone need server help, or monthly managed service, talk to these fellows

Rebooting a server is quite simple when you have access to it via web...But rebooting it when its not responding...Is impossible unless they do it...

well, i guess that's the difference between linux and a man's server os. i've had servers fuck up all the time, but ssh was always still accessable. yay FreeBSD.

AlanM · 06-07-2003, 12:53 PM

We had a server there and almost no problems at all too! You forgot to mention that additional bandwidth from now on will cost only $0.75 instead of previous $1.5

foreverjason · 06-07-2003, 12:56 PM

rackshack is by far the best hands down.

If you dont know how to manage a server pay someone to.

These prices bring it down to like 14cents/gig from rackshack damn!
