It seems to mainly be virtual accounts, but I'm with Sleazy, if I had a box there, I'd get out before the virtual problems became my problems. Plus, ask that dynaspin dude how he likes his server.

easy... because i promote them and know they run a top notch operation for cheap cost to the consumer.... rawpussy was #33 in the world, running off of cologroup, i sold it, its now on sextracker, now its like number 50 something in the world... go figure... it's the little people who dont understand how to use their server having problems... and even then, its 1 or 2 people, who use other names, get their friends to post, to seem like many.. it's quite funny really to watch the poor people scuttle amongst themselves....

You failed to mention that you mirrored the server you were running RawPussy off of.

Isn't the whole point of paying for a MANAGED server not to have to worry about understanding it? Don't people pay good money to have thier hosting company take care of the technical side so they can focus on the business side of things? The majority of webmasters I know have little knowledge of how to use the operating system their sites run on.

And by "#33 in the world", you mean the 33th ranked TGP on sextracker, I assume...

If you guys where paying attention last month on one of the other "Cologroup Down threads", I said I am not doing virtual hosting anymore and told everyone that we where discontinuing the service at the end of December. It was no longer a wise business decision to continue the virtual service.

A lot of customers moved off when I said that last month, which is what I wanted, but there are still almost 100 accounts on there. If Jamie at thumbserver wants the virtual accounts, go ahead and sign them all up. On January 1, 2003, we are done with virtual and you wont have anymore threads about Cologroup being down.

Dynaspain and I worked out the problem, so he is happy as well. Go read the thread if you want.

Cologroup is a great company. If you dont realize that know, you will in the future.

[The Leader] · 12-06-2002, 04:02 PM

How the hell can anyone be happy after 48 hours downtime? Sorry but I wouldn't care if you offered me a free YEAR, I'd be gone after that.

pimpshost · 12-06-2002, 04:31 PM

Yeah, he was pissed off, but he recognized what happened and that it was a mistake. Not only that, but it was a mistake of mislabeling a server by our old tech who was fired. I offered a way to make up for the mistake, he accepted it, and we are moving on.

if you need to move virtual

however you should step up to plan c for the shared hosting
there are no more than 6 accounts on 1 server

SextrafficPete · 12-07-2002, 11:12 AM

cologroup is a great company. they should have scrapped the virtual hosting a long time ago. i have been a dedicated client for awhile now and its great, never any down time.

i myself know when you are on a virtual host account, you will ALWAYS be risking having your site go down because no network is 100% stable with virtual accounts. the admins / host can't predict when someones account is going to spike in traffic, or a script cause an error that crashes the whole network.

if you can't afford the prices of dedicated / colocated machines these days, why are you in this businesS? you could be making more at mcdonalds

PornoDoggy · 12-07-2002, 11:37 AM

Well, I'm just sitting here having coffee and oreos while my account on <a href=http://oxeo.com>Oxeo</a> is humming along just fine and dandy.

i ran sites off of virtual hosting for the longest time and made 4x more than i could at mcdonalds. thats on about 50-75 gigs of transfer a month.

SextrafficPete · 12-07-2002, 11:47 AM

50 - 70 gigs of transfer a month is nothing

thats like a quarter a megabit, and megabits are as low as $40 / mbps

SextrafficPete · 12-07-2002, 11:52 AM

lets take OXEO VS COLOGROUP for example

billing structures

-Oxeo
Dell Poweredge 1.1GHZ Pentium III, 512MB RAM, 36GB SCSI
Total B/W MONTHLY 500 GB TRANSFER

$1100 U.S. A MONTH

now take cologroup

-Cologroup
Dual p3 1ghz, dual 60 gig hd's, 1 gig of ram ($200 - $300 / mo)
$40 - $100 PER MBPS (300GB TRANSFER / MO)

Cologroup also has "remote" booters, so when your box locks up, you can login to a web panel and reboot a box.

So...which is more worthwhile?

if you can not afford a cologroup dedicated box at the prices above, you should not be in this business. they even manage the servers for you

get one of the cologroup admins to login to my box and post the uptime, its been up no problems for 6 or 7 months straight, if not more

<IMX> · 12-07-2002, 12:03 PM

There is a reason why people take their complaints with Cologroup to the board immediately. Cologroup among other hosts, constantly opens threads explaining this new feature or that new feature, rather than issue e-mail to their clients or choosing to advertise.

Therefore, they have made their business a public one, for both the good news and the bad. So, please stop complaining about putting the "cat back in the bag, " and try to stop people from discussing your shortcomings.

People are going to complain quite publically, just as others cheerlead for you, as long as you continue to play the boards actively.

m0rph3us · 12-07-2002, 12:26 PM

question: why are you still using them after so many downtimes that you can't keep track of anymore?

and btw, you're paying too much for cogent or williams, or whatever they are routing from, with them.

ya but then you have dedicated server fees on top of that. waste of coin, and there are plenty of top notch hosts out there for virtual who never have problems.

i still have virtual hosting with candid. when i started good prices for bandwidth was 5 bux a gig.

SextrafficPete · 12-07-2002, 12:43 PM

at $5 per gb with candid, thats $1500 per megabit basically

with cologroup a megabit is $40 - $100 each

so a $200 - $300 / mo server from them, plus 1 mbps, is probably going to run you around $400. that is not even comparable to $1500

A virtual hosting accout with cologroup, maybe. The people I know who have virtual accounts with he.net are laughing. Seriously, learn how to provide your customers with the service or stop offering it.

LOL, what about newer webmasters? Or people who run small sites, like wm resource sites, who have no need for a dedicated?

Sorry man, but your whole post was ridiculous, and you know it. It's impossible to defend cologroup here. Their virtual accounts are no less their customers than their dedicated accounts.

5 bucks a gig at candid? i don't think so. you only have to move 4K gigs a month to be paying 80 cents/gig.

prices are lower than that if you do serious volume.

hmmm, you are right, to a point, but, you get what you pay for, and if I don't get better service than the guy that is paying a fraction of what I am paying, I am going somewhere that will.

It looks like you are giving me advice to stop offering a service that I cant provide, and if you look at the thread, thats exactly what I did.

Our dedicated service kicks ass and that is our only focus.
