I totally agree with that.
Someone needs to tell CVPS_Chris this isn't lowendwhatever. His derailing tactics aren't getting threads closed. And, his all PR = positive bottom line won't work here.
Being that I feel bad for the guy, I added him as a friend :)
The process here for OP's success will be to find a provider for dedicated that:
1. Has hot sleds (they won't go digging inside a server to extract a drive).
2. Provides on site hardware that OP will buy at fall facility rate.
3. Ideally is staffed by the seller and not a reseller using...
Chris is a worm and a slimy one at that.
It would have been fine for him to congratulate vpsBoard on their achievement. But nope, he comes in here and pokes his limp stick at me.
Nevermind his imaginary employee Kevdam over on Lowendtalk tossing crap at vpsBoard. Right? Just a rogue teenage...
7.64% is close to 10% ? I guess if we are doing sloppy math it's close to 20 also or 50.
The margin there in mass multiplies pretty darn quick. Is 76.4% close to 100%? No.
Consult the family accountant for remedial math.
Now as for your haterade, don't you have Cody or the other fellow on...
Level-3 is rather pricey. Not really compatible with the low priced servers, typically.
I'd be wary of Houston due to hurricane/storm potential.
Dallas is popular instead, but you get hit with Dallas County annual colo gear tax (which I have yet to resolve --- $150 for an old 1U server there...
Planning on doing sends back and forth of physical drives?
Yeah facilities will do this for you. Will pay a monthly fee or whatever when you need drives in/out.
Now the big problem is finding a facility that handles your own drives in leased/rented servers and has hot sled support.
I'd try...
Promising or coming soon, semantics.
Half the low end crowd will rejoice when IPV6 available there. This has been at least 2 years of coming soon for that provider.
Do the tunnel and quit waiting for them :)
Just in case you forgot about that little thread Chrissy poo:

I suspect I'd have a lot more posts if you went over and answered your I was an employee / I was never an employee thread :)
As far as me being 1/10th of the posts, #failing math. 7.64% currently.
My understanding is ARIN regulates IP issuance.
IPs aren't free, but they aren't exactly outrageous either. Current ARIN fees are below.
The smallest allocation block for IPV4 is /21 which is 2048 IPs with 2046 usable.
Peering with your own IPs means peering to your colo/datacenter...
^ this is awesome! @D. Strout's examples and explanation.
Never realized the addresses were collapsible like that with dropping 0 values. Much easier when doing such.
Yeah the address format is long and different @D. Strout :) Care to take a rudimentary stab at describing such or post useful links that do good describing such?
AAAA records = equivalent of A record for IPV4?
Sorry, awkward being a newb for a change.
Well, IPV6 should be a welcome addition to the site soon, in official IPV6 route :)
Relating to the malicious traffic, I'd get some CLI stuff running keeping eyeballs on traffic throughput and general indicators since lacking notifications about the attacks.
Also would try to facilitate the...
Tee hee! @Jack, IPV6 at CC locations, don't promise it mate unless you are setting up an He tunnel. From Buffalo, that tunnel might end up in Chicago before getting to NYC IPV6 location.
Like the annual plans big time. Keep them coming!
Yeah, same rack is a gigabit ethernet cable run :) Good info.
Outside of the rack would be a facility cross connect then? Do they charge both monthly + setup for those? Only dealt with cross connects before for custom bandwidth in a facility.
