If you have to ask if anyones heard of them, i wouldn't do business with them. But thats just me....

I use m3server.com and always refer without the code. :)

think no further, oxeo. check out their special now

u mite wanna peep mach10hosting.com

Go with the best

i use them for virtual hosting right now, and haven't had any problems.

i'm curious as to whether or not those prices/plans are good.

I have a box at www.ReliableServers.Net nothing but props! Awesome BW rates! Non cogent too !

"unlimited b/w" for $499/mo. Heh, I'd be extremely weary of that kinda offer. Even tho its a 1.3ghz, 512MB ram 60GB IDE setup, you could still push a good amount of BW with that box for the money. Good luck....

newbie question alert:
what's cogent? i've heard it about a million times since i've been here, and i still don't know.
same goes for co-location.

Cogent is a really cheap bandwidth provider that USED to have problems. I am not a big Cogent fan, but I still have boxes on them. And I have to say that they have been really good for me in terms of uptime.

The latency has got better as well. It is still considered the "noname" product of all bandwidth providers, but they are much more cheaper than others with their 100mbit and 1Gbit lines.

People who hate them probably had problems with them when they opened, however, as I said before, they have improved.

Finally, they will not go out of business in the short term, as many of you predict/think.

- Dream :2 cents:

Agreed...(about Cogent)..I have a total of 5 dedicated servers...2 on cogent and 3 on other multihomed providers... I regularily test download speeds from 10 locations worldwide...

Some places get better resolve time from cogent, others worse...but all in all, the average download time for my image intense 145K test page is about 7 seconds on Multihomed and 8 seconds on Cogent.

And, I have experienced only one 1/2hour downtime in 2 years that was the fault of the cogent network.

So much depends on the skill of the people putting together your box....I would give that much more attention then the network..

I heard some goodthings about datahosterz but I do not know what bandwidth they use.

I'm having good experience with http://www.phatservers.net , great customer service with very reasonable prices :thumbsup

best plan out there right now.... I doubt anyone can top it for the price.

(no im not affiliated with them) :drinkup

those are definetly the best prices i've seen. they seem to good to be true.
do you host with them? are they reliable? how's their uptime? and support?

what the fuck does that mean?
i know very little about bandwith, as you can see.

psyko, we can set you up with a fully managed and monitored dedicated server for $225, that includes 300G bandwidth and 40G disk space. We set it up for you, keep it up with dual, external monitoring and do all the maintenance, all you have to do is upload your content and get traffic! Oh, if you are on a current host that has shell or FTP access, we can even provide a free transfer of your existing data.

Get in touch with me directly at [email protected] and we will get you up and running quickly.

Cheers,

Luke

Don't get me wrong bro i wasn't busting your chops...just letting you know sometimes it better to do business with people who are well known, so if you have any issues you can get settlement quickly on the boards :thumbsup

chilihost, i'll definetly keep that in mind when i'm ready to upgrade

and pr0, i understand what you're saying. when i started hosting with them, i knew sweet fuck-all about hosting. i searched "adult web host" in yahoo, compared prices and features and signed up for them. i hadn't even heard of gfy yet.
strangely enough, none of the big hosts that people on this board use came up when i did that search.

kewl - and even if you chose another company and need help feel free to pop thru an email...I will do what I can :thumbsup

Cheers!

Luke

Some really shitty hosts turn up on search results...im with ya on that :1orglaugh
