DigitalOcean New York City 3
- Thread starter D. Strout
- Start date
I cant see the problem with it, although I would prefer them to expand existing locations and bring features to those locations. I can see why they would want to build a new network though (no migration, interruptions etc). Perhaps they will use it as a proving ground before upgrading NYC1&2.
NYC2 has been pretty good for the past couple of years, aside from the early issues with their routers (there was a few days of intermittent issues). Obviously they have the demand for it or else they wouldn't be doing it

It looks like NYC3 is actually located just outside of the city in New Jersey. In the blog post an employee linked: http://www.telx.com/data-center/new-jersey/

@DaringHost Since you mentioned that the location was possibly in NJ, I did a traceroute to a DO NYC3 box I spun up. Pretty standard, except for this IP: 154.54.12.146. It was the fourth to last hop over Cogent, but its rDNS was set to telecomitalia.sjc04.atlas.cogentco.com. "SJC" to me would indicate San Jose, California, but this was Telecom Italia. But it was also the hop right before Cogent handed off to NTT. So I looked up the IP on bgp.he.net, and it's part of a /12 marked as "AfriNIC". Weird.

NYC1 is actually located in Newark, NJ too...ServerStack in Equinix
Color this NYer unimpressed with DO's NYC network. ..
pings:
Iniz 0.6ms
RamNode 0.75ms
HostVirtual 0.9ms
Choopa New Jersey 1.2ms
NFO servers NYC 1.6ms
DO NYC2 1.7ms
I'm in a Hotel in NYC right now. This Hotel WiFi sucks butts.

RamNode: average of 203 ms (50 ms when traced???)
I think it's the WiFi router being all whack. City College of New York seems to have pretty decent WiFi but everything is filtered to the bones... SSH is impossible!

VPN over port 443 - only way I could get around my old college's network.

Haha would be useful (especially since softether does this) but it's only for one more day (busy at that too). Was just complaining about not having it working
Thanks though man! I'll use it next time!

Next time just take your laptop and sit in front of 111 8 Ave and use Google's free wifiHaha would be useful (especially since softether does this) but it's only for one more day (busy at that too). Was just complaining about not having it working
(if security is a concern though..)
Haha last night I was walking around and ended up in front of that building. Safe to say I took a few minutes to look at the building and remember all the VPSes and dedicated server I had there.Next time just take your laptop and sit in front of 111 8 Ave and use Google's free wifi
I also took a picture of that building.
Also, haha, a VPN should take care of that shouldn't it? Either way I'd probably VPN in, then start up my RDP.

Pros and cons to both. At the base level plan, DO provides more "bang for the buck"; on higher end plans it shifts towards RamNode. Really, though, the big advantage to DO is the hourly billing, allowing you to spin up a server quickly then destroy it whenever you want, and only be billed for the time you had it online. From what I've seen, RamNode might be thinking of something similar in the future, though, so eventually DO might be a thing of the past for me.Might have to try it out. Not really a fan of DO though, much prefer RamNode
...Oh, and DO has a slight advantage in terms of locations (8 total, 5 unique), though RamNode counters that with IPv6 support in all locations.
