pacificrack or alphared ? - GoFuckYourself.com

doridori · 11-25-2008, 07:15 PM

what do you recommend? alphared offers 2.5TB for 50 bucks, while pacificrack offers 2TB for 84 bucks.....

i've heard some shit has gone down with alphared, but read that their hosting business is still intact.....do any of you have hosting with them ?

pacificrack sounds reliable tooo.....many recommended that one.

AR is indeed dead. I left because I was being forced to compromise my business ethics at the hands of complete crooks, and I knew their model was unsustainable. Two months after I left, they flopped.

The statement that you get what you pay for is true, but there's a twist that not many people realize. True, companies like AR, and others still around today will try to offer you something so cheap, that you just wont be able to say no - and it will work. AR had hundreds of clients and pushed enormous amounts of bandwidth, fueled by ludicrously cheap prices.

The problem is that when you do that, you have to cut corners to make a buck. You're going to get garbage bandwidth, moron techs, slow speeds, slow ticket response time, crappy/dated/used servers etc. Despite the fact that these companies will disguise the grim finish beneath the glossy paint they spray over their offering, you will sooner or later come to realize the finer points of why they are indeed so cheap.

Companies that know you cant offer a $50 dedicated server and be taken seriously sometime fall victim to another pitfall, though. You'll run across some companies today that insist that even though they are well reputed, and are in all other aspects fantastic companies, that you must pay an exorbitant amount of money for their services.

This is a slippery psychological tactic geared toward the consumer who's smart enough to know not to fall for the $50 server trick. The trick is to convince this consumer that in order to feel safe buying what you can be sure is a quality service package from a host, you must be paying A LOT, compared to what the other hosts are offering. This, while geared toward a smaller audience - smaller than the droves who think $50 servers will be %100 reliable - is a far more profitable crop to attract.

I'm not going to pretend I'm without bias, but it is my sincere opinion that a host should offer the level of service and quality that today's top hosts do, without using the "Server for the Upper Class" tactic to take advantage of the consumer.

As for the $50 server pushers, I challenge all who take one to give it 6 months and see how the complaints will start stacking. I should know, I worked for a company like that, and it is with that perspective that I feel so strongly based in my feelings about the hosting biz today.

I just moved to pacificrack a few weeks ago... very happy so far..
they did a decent job moving my sites.. had a few pitfalls, but solved most of them within a few days.. definitely put the effort in!

doridori · 11-25-2008, 07:58 PM

i have a question...what is burstable bandwith mean ?

chupachups · 11-25-2008, 08:07 PM

Burst = means you have this speed available during peak traffic. You can f.ex burst up to 30 mbits when you, occasionally, need it.

IllTestYourGirls · 11-25-2008, 08:08 PM

I am very happy with PR

it also means you are liable for any overages (overusage) past whatever your base commitment of bandwidth is, typically on the industry standard of 95th percentile.

doridori · 11-25-2008, 08:18 PM

so what is better? a capped bandwith server, or a unmetered server? if one gets around 10,000 and more visits a day (around 150~200gb in bandwith daily), like on youjav, would it 10mbps be okay ?

TidalWave · 11-25-2008, 08:20 PM

not if you are doing 200gb of TRANSFER DAILY, because thats 6000gb TRANSFER which equals roughly 30Mbps of BANDWIDTH

bandwidth is a capacity amount
transfer is the amount pushed through that capacity

like water in a water hose. the hose is the bandwidth, the water is the transfer.
the hose only has 100mbps of capacity and in 1 month you will only be able to push a certain amount of transfer through that specific sized hole.

theoretical numbers equate 1mbps into 320gb, but that is if you are doing 1Mbps FLAT (without going below or above, EVER) for 1 month. then it is 320GB/month. if you dip (and you will cause your traffic will come and go) below the 1mbps you will get less transfer out of that 1Mbps.

chupachups · 11-25-2008, 08:21 PM

150gb daily? do the math - thats 4.5TB per month = 14mbit or so continously...

fris · 11-25-2008, 09:50 PM

6000 gigs is roughly 19mbps

That`s language this farmer understands

Water hose... of course ...

We need to make a car analogy out of this now....

TidalWave · 11-26-2008, 12:06 AM

a tunnel can only fit so many cars through...
the tunnel is bandwidth(Mbps), the cars are transfer (GB)......

pamon · 11-26-2008, 12:23 AM

funny thread... so who wants to host my illegal script w/ illegal content?

whats the formula for the Gb/Mbps anyway?

doridori · 11-26-2008, 12:28 AM

excellent stuff. thanks guys!

Going further, wouldn't the bandwidth be the number of lanes in the tunnel?
