Dedicated server deal - is this good? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hypo · 09-26-2001, 12:57 PM

I'm being offered this deal on a dedicated server, is this good? Can I get better? Should I ask for anything more or just take it? I have no idea about server maintainance, they'll be handling the maintainance -

PIII933, 256 RAM, 40 IDE HD
$800 setup fee
$150 server + $150 admin monthly fee
10 MB capped line 400$/MB
Bandwidth $3500 per month.

Hypo · 09-26-2001, 12:59 PM

I know, strange time to be asking this, with my comp down. But it seems my server is down too, and I need to move urgently. When hell breaks loose, it really breaks loose.

Gemini · 09-26-2001, 01:09 PM

Seems abit high...

Hypo · 09-26-2001, 01:12 PM

How much should I ask for? Is capped line a good idea?

SockPuppet · 09-26-2001, 01:15 PM

Seems a bit high over here too.

I would talk to other co's and get them to try and beat it. Make them work against each other

Also, try and get the setup fee waived.

I highly recomend Candid. Good people.

SockPuppet · 09-26-2001, 01:16 PM

Might want to try and have them bump that HDD to a SCSI instead of IDE... much faster.

Gemini · 09-26-2001, 01:22 PM

Should be one gig of RAM for that sort of price. Is the 3500 the bottom line and how many mbits of BW is that including? From what I make of it there are alot better deals out there. I'd not be rushing in to that deal at all. And setup fee? Pahh!

Isn't 10 MB at $400/MB $4000, not $3500?

$400/MB capped and $800 setup is a bit high and you can get a lower price.

Capped line is not a good idea (unless you like paying for bandwidth you don't need/use and your web sites loading slow).

A new IBM EIDE hard drive will work fine, I don't think you'll need a SCSI. Upgrading to 512 MB or 1 GB RAM will be a much better investment.

Hi,

Well that's pretty expensive. What hosting comp is this? I have experience with candidhosting and hiendhosting, both okay, and much cheaper...

Keev · 09-26-2001, 01:38 PM

Hypo I have been shopping around and i found a couple dam good deals

Here are the urls to them

I spoke with them and quite impressed after being quite skeptical!
http://www.xhostx.com/DeticatedHosting.htm

This one i havent spoke with so cant make a comment but price is good.
http://www.nysus.com/infopage.gif

These two seem to be the most affordable. I am sure there are some tradeoff's somewhere but if your not doing alot of shit with your server and just need lots of BW.

If ya do end up with them mention me

Hypo · 09-26-2001, 01:39 PM

Ok, I understand it's expensive. What price should I ask to give for it then?

Tukhman · 09-26-2001, 01:44 PM

Hypo,
Not to spam, but if you are interested in a good deal, e-mail me and I will cut you a good one, MUCh better the the one that is offered. I have about 4 servers in physical possession, so you can be setup in minutes ;-)

m0rph3us · 09-26-2001, 01:45 PM

I can offer you that deal for $200 setup and a 10Mbit line with server included for

$2800/month or less..

Please contact me @ 91603384 via ICQ and we'll talk

floridaT · 09-26-2001, 01:51 PM

HYPO
GET the best price then ICQ me I will beat any written price. period

s9ann0 · 09-26-2001, 01:51 PM

10mbps / 3500 = $350 / mbps

thats not bad if its measured 95% or wutever
but or CAP you have to think at peak time you don't want to be running at more than 8mbps the cap bites in and your pipe gets clogged with resends etc so realistically your max bandwidth usage is around 8mbps and that is if you can balance things out

is this server @ maxim ?

I used to use them but they went well shit when hostcentric tookover

I still have some non-adult stuff there not had much trouble recently but then our stuff pretty much ticks over on its own without needing admin...

Hypo make sure you look at those two links i posted. I am not hosting with them yet but by far the best offer I have seen anywhere!

No affiliation just what i have found shopping around this week

Hypo · 09-26-2001, 02:02 PM

Thanks Keev (and everyione else , of course), I'm checking those links out. I'll contact everyone too, my comps crashed and I'm on another one without ICQ for the moment.

shopping around this week

http://www.nysus.com is down (that's what usually happens on a network like PSI.net that went bankrupt)

I know of a few hosts that have prices better than xhostx, maybe another week of shopping around?

m0rph3us, you may want to consider another provider instead of Exodus. They are very close to being bankrupt(http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010925/bs/tech_exoduscommunications_stocks_dc_1.html).

Hypo · 09-26-2001, 02:06 PM

http://www.nysus.com/ seems to be down - not a good sign!
