Catalsyt Host

Stop Shopping, Start Hosting

About Us
For those of you guys who don’t know us, Catalyst Host was started by Ryan Arp (@ryanarp) with the help of a few great friends. Catalyst has been focused on providing our brand of quality hosting. We just want you all to know that we’re more than just another provider, we are customers too. We know what customers want, and we focus on exactly that! We’re also Catalyst customers ourselves! We want the best out of everything we get, and we’ll work hard to make sure you get the best we can give!

Our Philosophy
If you're not going to do something right, don't bother doing it. Catalyst Host has been in business since early 2011. We are not here to give you the most imaginary resources you can't use for the least dollar signs. We are here to give you the best quality, with what I estimate to be some of the least oversold nodes in our market. You have the peace of mind that you services are in good hands, that your service will operate as expected, and that your data will remain safe.

Our Dedication to Quality Networks and Powerful Hardware
The network behind our Dallas servers is multi-homed with multiple 10Gbit connections and redundant Juniper routing with HSRP failover. Network and hardware conditions are monitored 24/7/365. Spare hardware is always stocked and available on site. We utilize A+B power for redundancy in case of brownouts, which are rare in Dallas. As a standard we use dual E5 Intel Xeon Processors with a minimum of 64GB of Ram and Raid 10 setup with 4 to 8 Enterprise Grade Drives. Recently we started using SSD Cache on our KVM Node(s). These Node(s) currently have 6 Enterprise Grade Drives in Raid 10 and 2 SSD Drives in Raid 1 for Cache. You can expect this to be a standard on future nodes.

Our VPSs are located in Dallas, TX. We utilize the Incero Network inside CoreXchange. While we do not own our hardware, we are renting some of the finest hardware available. This is a choice that we made to guarantee the quality of our services.

    I'm curious what do you using if for? :D

    Until this weekend? It will probably sit there, looking pretty, waiting for me to install CentOS to it and give it the life it always wanted.

    After then, it will serve in my army of ghetto DIY CDN streaming servers.

    Very curious about your setup, I think you use C++ RMTP. I use Wowza, but it is only decent priced solution that has the features I needed for a project.

    I'm using nginx-rtmp-module now; it's not quite as lightweight as crtmpd because it's an nginx module, but still fairly light - can run on <256MB VPSes.

    Upside is it can spit out Apple HLS.

    There's no RTMP DVR feature like Wowza has, though, but I get the feeling you could recreate it (in Flash) with the OSMF HLS plugin, HLS, and beating some things in place with Event HLS. Haven't tried it yet but have it on the list of things to do at some point in my life.

    You my friend are awesome, this is pretty much what I didn't like about crtmpd. I am going to have and give this a try ASAP.

    If ask nicely we are always welcome to give a temporary ram upgrade during OS install.

    Also, the KVM templates are a nice way for to lazy install Cent. There's also this for lesser hosts without such great things.

  • Do you have a higher bandwidth plan for the KVM?

  • ryanarpryanarp Member, Patron Provider

    We have tons of bandwidth, so if you want to open a ticket I am sure we can hook you up.

  • Nice plans Ryan

  • What about windows iso with license provide by myself ?

  • ryanarpryanarp Member, Patron Provider

    Might now we don't offer windows licensing. Also we only allow windows on our 1GB and 2GB plans.

  • I mean my I've license and all you have to do is setup windows server 2008 R2 for me

  • ryanarpryanarp Member, Patron Provider

    Right now we don't offer windows licensing. If you bring your own license we can setup windows for you.
