Who is as good as Rackshack?
I love Rackshack. At 17,000 servers and growing fast, they may be the only hosting company im business in a few years.
Must as I like them though, I am looking for a similar host to help with disaster planning. I want to be able to diversify onto non-RS servers in case the state of Texas sinks into the ocean or something. I've heard there are other hosts as good as them, but I'm skeptical. My requirements are: 1. Unmanaged. I don't want anybody messing with my server, thank you very much. 2. Price similar to RS (< $130 for 700 gig dedicated, $250 for dual xenon 1200 gig). 3. Very good bandwith, no cogent. 4. Good around the clock support for a reboot or hardware failure, or an image restore. 5. A real company -corporate address, phone numbers, etc. 6. Prefer another large host like RS. 7. Diverse network with many carriers. 8. Must offer RedHat. Be interested to hear if they have been copied with any sucess. |

HAHAHA who is as good as rackshack?
Give me two coffee cans, a string, a typewriter, and a stick of Doublemint and I'll have a server facility faster and more reliable than those morons. Give me some duct tape and three Burger King fry cooks and I'd have better tech support too. Get a real provider this time. We use Webair. |

What about the price? According to your site the closest you offer to a standard RS set up is $179 per Month for 300 gigs. That's more $50 higher than RS for less than half to gigs. What do charge for overages? |

Hi TheSaint, what you are looking for is VibeHosting.com (seriously), with high bandwidth servers (2000GB+) we are pretty much unbeatable even by rackshack, with any system. Bandwidth is multihomed, primarily Global Crossing, servers can be upgraded/downgraded (hardware and bandwidth) at any time you want. All servers are on 100mbit burstable ports unless you prefer a cap. Our P4/Xeons are a bit more expensive but you do get 2.4's and not the old 2.0's.
Servers are housed in eXchange colo, one of the largest and best datacenters. Hit me up for more information or custom plans, we can even provide you with much better support since our servers are semi-managed. ICQ 51034232, MSN [email protected], Email [email protected]

I ordered one as a test, its only for disaster recovery anyway, really a file cabinet. Looks like those guys (a division of thePlanet) have been copying the RS formula all the way, right down to the data center web cam, forums, and listing how many of each server is available to entice wavering customers to snap them up. Thanks to the rest but I am just naturally cheap. So far I have noticed two strange things in the adult industry: 1. The higher the conversion rate that a sponser claims, the lower it actually is. 2. The cheaper a dedicated server is, the higher the uptime is. ![]() |

National Net was running some 10mb's servers for a while.. I dont know if they still do..but they manage them 100%..
You wont find as good a price anywhere else.. especially for the server power you are getting.. Chris

Rackshack is unbeatable pricewise and as it has been said so many times if you know what you are doing with Redhat you will have no problems.
Their support and abuse policies can be troubling tho. If you get DOS'd you will get unplugged. There will be no attempt to resolve the problem to preserve your service. And if you have a big popular site you will certainly have someone eventually take a crack at you. I use them for low value services and put the mission critical elsewhere. |

In their defence, a lot of those stories have another side to them, the webmaster turned out to be so lazy and complacent that they really brought it on themselves. And the one time I had an issue with a server way back (a spammer was sending cp through my server) their abuse department was remarkably understanding and gave me time to clean it. Still, even with a bunch of dual xenons there I am just a number, you probably have to have 50 boxes to get really personal attention there. On the other hand, 400 days of uptime and 12 minutes down, not bad at all. ![]() |

hit me up.
we'll give near rackshack prices for the same kind of stuff. higher quality bandwidth and on-site support as well... and still give you complete breathing room for what you want to do. also since it's not cookie-cutter like RS, you can expand and do multiple servers, or server clusters, whatever you want to do. i started with rackshack as well, but grew out of them. they were good for the price.

I've been unplugged at RS - and I am still with them. Been with them for years.
Check the forums there, you'll see where I was bitching out the techs because they demanded a restore on my box for chkrootkit coming up positive on TCP 465 (which it always does on a Linux box running any type of firewall). Happened twice - second time I said fuck it and locked the bitch down so hard there's only specific ports that data can go *out* of. Other than that, they've been fantastic, and this is coming from a woman who's been called "the biggest bitch on the face of the earth" by their CEO on the phone. ;) Most of you guys spamming your services need to read the original post - "price similar to RS"... not 3 times as much for half the alloted BW. RS is slowly but surely taking over the hosting world, hehe. |

Yeah that's what you need to do. Get involved in the forums. Spend your days and nights trolling their forums and getting to know the $8/hour dropouts that handle the servers your income depends on. If you don't do it they won't give a shit about you. If you do you're wasting so much of your time you won't get anything else done.
But your cogent line will be smooth until they decide to unplug you. Get a real host. Actually, go ahead and stick with the shitty providers. I'll end up getting your listings and traffic. Thanks in advance! |

Oh and let's not forget the Rackshack bandwidth coverup - they put the inbounds on a real provider but your outbounds are cogent. What does this do? It makes it look like you're on a real provider before you buy and you're doing your traces to probe them. Once you sign you can trace out and you see the ugly truth.
I HATE THAT. |

The main selling point for servermatrix is you are getting a managed server for the price of an unmanaged. The downside is all servers are initially capped at 10mbit, but if you need it to be burstable, they will uncap it. |
