Good Colocation Firm ? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Mephex · 04-02-2004, 06:27 AM

I'm preparing to leave the company I am with, and I have a server set up here on a 9mbit pipe. I'm looking for other options,
but it seems that if they aren't over $200/month, there is a latency issue and/or general bandwidth issue.

Can any of you recommend a company that will rent/accept a colocated server for under $200/month, that has great customer service, and is on a fat pipe ?

I may be dreaming, but it sure would be nice

check out www.rackspace.com

Not sure of the pricing, but their commercials are on all the time so they are on the ball

FANATICAL SUPPORT. Jesus, I've seen far too many rackspace commercials on TechTV.

depends on what you want, reackspace does not do colocation, they do dedicated servers though, but I so did not like dealing with them on the phone.....

I would recommend valueweb, they are a very large hosting company with great priceing, the only thing is they do not support backups, so you would have to download it to either anouther pc at home/work or buy anouther dedicated server and have it running as a backup or something to that extent...

I came across valuweb while searching.

steveincolumbus have you dealt with them ? What
is your impression ?

Well I never moved services to there, i know people that do have accounts there...
I got laid off do to downsizing before they relocated.

But talking to them on the phone, they were nice have tons of companies hosted there, and have major backbone connections.

I spoke with 20+ hosts in looking to relecate our services, we were looking for a dedicated server insted of a colocate but they seemed to be the best choice for us......
