[Wanted] Dedicated Server Host - Page 2

**kcnychief** · June 20th, 2006

Thanks Lord, but that's part of why I'm going with 1and1, because I want to support it myself.

That's a bit sexy about everything, as I get to learn all the things I haven't done before. I have the option for a server re-image at will, all I need to backup is IIS and that's easy enough

1and1 is great as long as you dont ever need support.

I have no experience with you guys, so I did not mention you. And you are forgiven for blowing your own trumpet, it sounds nice :P

BTW, your blog is down.

Colocation in general is a bad idea, as the host is not allowed to touch your server, and swap hardware out for new hardware, even if you leave some behind as spares. Which means that if something goes wrong, you have to drive out to the Colocation, and fix the problem yourself.

I've heard horror stories too . . . we offer colocation starting around a hundred bucks a month on a 100Mbit line for a 2Mbit connection, you do get charged more if you go above the average usage. The 2Mbit is the average over the entire month with the top 5% filtered out . . . and you don't have to drive anywhere you just file a service request and pay for the server management company's hourly rate. You can get good colocation you just need to know what you're looking for. You should also make sure you're getting a good, redundant connection to top tier carriers (definitely NOT DSL!)

Placed the order with 1and1, just have to wait for all my details to verify so I can get started

Regarding IP's I wanted to point out that with IIS, you can host multiple sites using a single IP.

I may give that a whirl, see how it works out.

Yes I know - its the same way Apache does it

Got most of it setup by now. Site is up and forum isn't yet, which might not come back.

Seems a bit faster, I'm really impressed. Thanks for all the help and suggestions guys, reps all around
