$10/A isn't too bad :)  Perhaps low these days actually.  Let's see: 1A = 120 watts 120 watts x 720 hours in a month = 86400 86400 / 1000 (1000 watts in 1KwH) = 86.4 KwH So 87 KwH per Amp @ 120v power. $10 / 87 KwH = 0.1149 or 11.49 cents per KwH Long informal number is electric has...

Now, I try to get 8 hours a night.  Usually end up in the 6-8 range.

  Well I spent a decade working like a slave in a gold mine (i.e. 2-4 hours of sleep a night with binge sleeping some weekends).  Your 20's are a good time for that if unmarried and childless. Lots of folks here are sleeping 4 hours or even less.  That is bad folks. What will that do?   It...

GoRack isn't per se cheap, but ala carte sort of.  I like that approach though :) Dacentec in North Carolina has a low price for colo: 1U Colo $30.00/month 1U  1 Amp / 120V 2TB Bandwidth on Gigabit Port 1 IPv4 adress Remote Reboot Automated OS Installs Bandwidth Graph Free IP KVM loan on...

Depends.   I read Truvis' piece on the DDoS and why he believes he's being smacked by such.  Sounds awfully weird and poorly written. Entirely believable someone doesn't like him.  In this industry if you even claim to a customer a handful of idiots wants to bury you. Anything under your...

Datashack in Kansas City has 1U colo for $45/month.  10TB and I think they'll bump to gigabit connect if you ask, at least use to.

Better watch the sales tactic @MannDude, before they DDoS vpsBoard some more then come offering services and two free months to migrate to Colocrapping. Funny people move to CC's network to hide from DDoS.  CC doesn't have any DDoS mitigation for the 500th time.   So how does migrating to CC...

Come on.  Everything about this smells like my salty worked all day armpits, they stink. @TruvisT, set me straight: Does that sound familiar? http://solidshellsecurity.com/services/ddos-protection.php So if you can't protect your own stuff and keep things running, how are you doing that for...

Good stuff :)  Yeah you use the server :) $200-300 isn't much of a budget. I think what you had was a dual Xeon.  You could probably find a dual quad core Xeon from the used/refurb sellers. That's typically my upgrade route on the cheap.  Move all the drives over to the new server ideally...

Well, SSH tunnels and file serving via Owncloud really doesn't require all that horsepower, loud fans, etc.  I use low power ARM devices to accomplish these things :) What's going on with the Proliant server that it is failing?  Have you outgrown it or just having issues and taking this as...

I forgot to add this earlier when the thread started and was proven CC+HVH being a cluster f': Don't DDoS me bro! MannDude and the pony team have been mopping up the attacks all day.

Dude!  It's Gogent.   Really go read Biloh's ads on WHT prior to say January where he mocks Cogent bandwidth as Gogent. Dallas and sharing a rack?  Plenty of real, honest and big providers with competitive pricing there, no reason to sell your soul to the dark side.  But beware, Dallas County...

The DMCA stuff is love/hate sort of thing.  Piracy is a legitimate problem and copyright owners need to control their property or copies thereof. I've only officially been dealt two DMCA's and my colo provider wasn't very thrilled about the matter.  At the time I ran a Tor exit node.   Changed...

That sounds real good and the "latest" sanity things in place.  I'd thank you, but out of Thanks for the day, darn limits :) Anyone else doing a dual outgoing email server setup --- like this? server ---> local mail server (SMTP) server ---> Mandrill (broadcast emails) (SMTP) server --->...

No, the Adam/Kevin fiasco can be traced back to URPad, where Kevin/Adam was a "reseller" of URPad's services (sound familiar :) ).  Later after imploding his Latch/Hatch companies or URPad disassembling the companies for sale to other saps, Adam became Kevin.   Chris Miller lingers on here and...

Lack of storage offers on US East Coast, especially in the south. I'll look out for your offers :)

Surprised.  Wiresix = Colo@, right? Colo@ runs a good operation, but as Francisco will attest, they aren't in the DDoS protection/tolerance business.

Umm, I think what happened in your case was in December (or perhaps November) HVH moved from another data center in NYC following major hurricane damage (Super Storm Sandy).   They moved from there over to being a Colocrossing customer. Now, I know no one is shipping 875Mhz processors or using...

Interesting info @SkylarM! Some pretty good pricing and no BS from your company. Hoping to see more storage offers on here eventually.  Everyone needs storage :)

Doh!  Makes sense... Yeah crazy prices then. Better watch before they start charging for actual transit usage :) Power, let's say folks in some markets really lie about the actual costs and do profit quite a bit.  You'd have to be privy to their mass KwH rates.     Smoke and mirrors about not...
