Is $4999/yr good for 1000mbps x 365 ?
Server specs obviously fluctuate the price somewhat,
however $5k a year to have constant access to 1gbps seems like a good investment to me in this day and age. What do you think? |
too good to be true, $416 a month which is the price for about a 100mbps box from a decent host.
|
are you sure? What is missing because that sounds very good
|
We average 50 to 70 mbps every day here so do your math before you sign up.
|
5k would be a month on that 1gbps and even that is low
|
$416.58 a month for 1000 mbps based out of the United States of America, yes it is 1gbit unmetered fris. Would you like to resell them?

What kind of massive sites are you hosting? |
oscer - The price is low you are right however the supply factor is the justification.
VenusBlogger - Rtmp, and its tcp equivalents, never mind traffic. |
I'm paying $80 a month for a good dual quad with 24gb ram and 100mps unmetered so I can assume It's doable.

Don't know about 1Gbs for those prices, but OVH just announced their 2013 server prices, and I swapped out an ailing 4yo server for one of these
with 36GB RAM and 2x120GB SSD and 2x2TB HDD with 200mbs guaranteed premium BW, for less than ?140/mo it's a no brainer. Available in their new Canadian Beauharnois DC too... |
$125/1,000 mbps
|
quality is everything...
On 200mbs with a 1Gbs burst never faltering (neither bandwidth nor server), I'm very happy where I am and this stat graph shows it http://borkedcoder.com/images/gfy/lo...eth0-month.png Can your server handle an average of 550 apache requests a second and push non stop 100-200mbs without ever failing??? http://borkedcoder.com/images/gfy/lo...uests_week.png |
Quality can be raised with diversity.
|
You should ask them for their ASN, if you want us to look into the quality post it here and I will check it for you.
In terms of pricing, I am hardly amazed these days and have seen it all though I would be aware of such low pricing, usually comes at a cost ;) |
Just an observation of available upgrades and their prices.
|
sure it is :thumbsup
|
Arn #s that was a good one.
|
The most important thing is that a "pipe" of whatever size means nothing. The only thing that is important is the amount of actual 95/5 Mbps you push. Based on that and only that you should check the price. The other obviously important part is how many customers do they have that get anywhere near to the possible throughput and how much uplink do they have. Obviously, if they have 100 customers on that setup, it is highly unlikely they have 100gbps uplinks.

Look at the max utilization of their network
The load on the switch will make a difference It's easy to sell it dirt cheap if you sell it multiple times |

I'd say get in on their BHS Canadian DC - massively under used at the moment :pimp |
Just to add, if you require an admin for managed services, then a single box at OVH will probably not be financially beneficial. But if you require an infrastructure or a number of boxes, then it very much becomes a viable option.
I don't know how others do it, but I charge much less for a cluster of servers to manage than the sum of the cost of managing the individual servers - which is normal since managing 10 boxes for 10 clients is much much more work than managing 10 boxes for a single client. One really cool setup that is incredibly resistant for high traffic sites is a nice frontend box with nice RAM/NIC/SSD drives that serves as database server and load balancer (running nginx) to X number of backends which are lower grade and lower cost web servers (that can also replicate the db server if needs be). Throw in a beast of a storage server and you have a kick ass infrastructure that can redundantly handle many hundreds of connections per second and push 100s mbs for less than a grand a month. |
sounds too good to be true

Its not. :2 cents: |

You think that's a big tube ? You need to get out more. :thumbsup |
it's not even a tube! if you follow the two graphs, peak at around 200mbs corresponds to ~800 requests a second. 800req/sec on a tube would be pushing multiple Gbs bandwidth I'm guessing...

Unless that $5000 plan is being sold by a company with other profitable accounts and annual revenue above 5-10 million, I would steer clear. The numbers are the numbers, can't have 1000 megabit of usage every month for 12 months even on a 50+ gigabit commit from one of the largest carriers.. let alone space, power, multihomed bandwidth, a server and support. My advice, buy what you need not what you think you need - from a reputable company in adult. Brad |
It quantifies your requirements anyway and beyond.
