Charlotte Colo AKA Verio's Charlotte datacenter.
OC192 connectivity woohoo, smokes almost 99% of the so called "adult hosts" and "adult hosting datacenters" including natnet, rackshack and Webair. For connectivity, http://www.charlottecolo.com AKA Verio. |

First a disclaimer....I have NO IDEA how accurate this is and doubt it is very accurate. But it might be able to be used as a barrometer of some sort.
http://www.hostcount.com/main.htm Just some of the hosts off the top of my head that are around here have the follwoing ranking out of 30,000+ co's natianal-net.com 57 candidhosting.com 128 isprime.com 148 phatservers.com 241 jupiterhosting.com 751 webair.com 112 |

BTW
Charlotte colo is not really a "hosting" copany per se, they are a data center, but if they did hosting, figures of 5 gigs of space and 300 gigs of bandwidth a month for around $300 a month would be ballpark. I have a full cabinet there, I pay $600 a month for a 42U cabinet and 3000 GIGS of bandwidth a month with $1 overages. Just my ![]() They have the same connectivity as Sprint. Datacenters and Hosts really are like apples and oranges, any datacenter can easily beat any hosting company's prices for hosting. |

Host count is a joke IMHO
http://www.hostcount.com/cgi-bin/cgi...SINHOST.COM%22 http://www.hostcount.com/cgi-bin/cgi...&submit=Search http://www.hostcount.com/cgi-bin/cgi...&Find=mojohost I'm all three of those.. I can assure you their numbers are a guess, at best. I might never be the biggest.. just aim to be the best ![]() Brad

Sorry but this thread is junk nohahahaha really knows, and any reputable service doesn't tell. Posting your friends hosting company as the biggest for 10 seconds of fame is lame.. sorry,
Any company that says they host 2 million is lying, in fact I have noticed for the most part most the ones that brag like 1and1 really are the smallest and are trying too hard to look big. But if I had to guess, then I would say yahoo and sbc global they are partners. But they don't host adult sites. As far as adult sites then it's probably say rackshack. A better question is what hosting screws more people and the answer is also rackshack. Why deal with a fake spam complaint or bandwidth spikes when you don't need to care about a single customer. Also they run Cogent and Verio the biggest crap networks in the world no wonder there so cheap. Also their hardware fails all the time since it's self ran by the owners of the servers they fuck up the system and then quit and guess who gets it next, Another good questions is who's the best... and that's DWHS Web Hosting Plain and Simple ![]() |

Charlotte Colo does, I have dedicated servers. Just so MOST of you are aware, almost EVERY hosting company mentioned in this thread is NOTHING more then a rack or two of dedicated servers in someones datacenter. In fact the trend that I have seen is the people open up maybe 2 or 4 U of servers space, install Hsphere and claim to have a massive data center. Many times i click on a web host link on this board only to see it say " Our services are located in Texas and our data center is located in BumFuck Egypt." That should be a big tip off right there that they really dont have a data center, all they really have is 1 or 2 servers IN a data center. Anyone can get a box hosted in a data center, its the BEST webhost you can actually get. If you know linux or know someone who will remote admin your box for you, theres no reason to even BUY hosting ANYWHERE. Simply make a server, call up the data center, and send them your server. ALMOST EVERY SINGLE hosting company I see in sigs on this board is nothing more then just that, a 1U or 2U server in a data center. Is it their data center? Fuck no, but they do try and say it is ![]() OC192, fastest connection available to man right now. UUNET Sprint Verio AOL Time Warner Telecom Charlotte Colo ( Verio South) Everyone else says Multiple OC38's and crap, they get their bandwidth FROM the places above. |

I think it's worth saying a few things...
Of course colo-ing your server and buying bandwidth direct are a great option... mostly in theory. Although not true in every instance, please consider the following: 1) As a single client you will not have the size or economies of scale to achieve a good price from your upstream provider. I can assure you that for the most part not a single Tier 1 sells bandwidth at reasonable prices for low commitment levels. And any large colo is unlikely to sell you just 1u, rather, they want to sell you 1/2 rack minimum. 2) Let's assume that all viable hosts are in a data center even though we know many BS and are simply in office buildings... Hosting is as much about providing good service as it is about the bandwidth space. 3) We're all owners of internet businesses. As site owners our time is best spent finding and converting traffic. Stepping out of the box of being a host, which I am, I am also a site owner. I value my time at several hundred an hour. It wouldn't take but one small instance in a month to buy an awful lot of server management. 4) If you know how to manage your server, great! Most do not. If you did know how to manage your own server your best bet would still most likely be colo with a large hosting company instead of direct with a carrier and facility. You will likely have the savings from their bulk purchase of space and bandwidth passed on to you. Also, remote hands are usually cheaper with a hosting company than with an upstream provider. I can assure you that you wouldn't like Verio's bill for such a service. "Just so MOST of you are aware, almost EVERY hosting company mentioned in this thread is NOTHING more then a rack or two of dedicated servers in someones datacenter." VideoVoyeur I couldn't agree more! A lot of the stuff I see posted online and read on hosting websites makes me giggle. One thing is for sure, far too many don't keep their sales pitch "real". I often think that we'd be well served by an independant watchdog group that could travel around and report back on what they found at each hosting operation... lol pipe dream! I think some of the top companies in size are definitely: RackShack ev1servers.net RackSpace Choosing what is best really is a client-by-client decision. If you're a very competant server administrator then your best bet is to colo locally or colo with another hosting company elsewhere and manage your server remotely. At a certain point in revenue for a one man shop, however, managing your own server makes a lot less sense. Under the presumption you were with a great provider, which in some instances is alot to assume, then it would likely be cheaper and easier to have them fully manage your gear. Just my ![]() Brad
