Congratulations š
Congrats !
Congrats.
In true Let style any offers to celebrate
I liked the self-hosted datacenter more. Yes, it was in a basement which started with wooden frames, but it is like a two-edged sword (passion and dedication on one side, possibility of scam and fast exit on the other side).
Romania is not a land of investors and high-end datacenter, instead it is more of a land for low-end and torrents and cheap cloud. Going big might be good for business, but not for low-end.
@Calin I wish you success. Hopefully the rent and electricity will be low in the long run. Don't listen to me, but personally I would have wanted to see you buying a big hall, then invest in some solar panels and wind mills through funding from European Union (which has plans to go fully green for environment), then go fully independent. Again, I don't know much about this as I am not a business person - just an idea thrown in the void.
@default
Just a inside note on the Hall + Solar Pannels.
A hall is cheap-ish at some level, reno is a fuking $$$$ to do it right.
Photovoltaic Panels - at the amount of KW for 100 servers, it makes no sense. You have 6-7 MO of sunshine in RO and that with a 8 Hour / day average. The cost will be enormous, and the ROI is like 7-8 YRS and in 7-8YRS you will start changing inverters and panels and so on. We did the math, it does not work for RO. It can work, but the expense makes no sense, for the moment, at 1KW/Panel maybe, but we are not there yet.
SRV need to run 24/7/365, so putting some extra load in night time, the infrastructure is not there yet also. These idiots did almost nothing since 1989 infrastructure wise.
either way you want to put it, if you do not already own or inherit a Hall, the building of a nice-ish DC makes no sense expense wise if you target low-end.
So moving in a already done DC makes more sense, at least until you cand/want to afford building your own.
Congratulations!
Do you plan on moving all the current nodes to the DC? Or only some?
Within the next two months, our goal is to migrate our entire infrastructure, encompassing all iHostART customers, to this new DC.
We receive yesterday more rails and caddys!Coming soon photos and most probality a vlog with all migration process
Regards
VLOG!!! Excitement!
All servers have now rails

High quality shit! also props to brother @host_c
Hey!
I was just thinking about this today. If I kept my monthly cost by migrating the servers to the datacenter, I would not prefer that.
Good luck to Calin. One more competitor for the big players and one less for me
Perhaps, for now, but:

Conclusion?
Yeah, big investors (barring Microsoft and AWS and a few others) are listening to the media and avoiding Romania and this gave Romanians an incredible opportunity to grow their own infrastructure and competition smashing records regarding prices and speeds. This seems to expand to the DC market now. Stay out at your own peril. The Romanians would manage anyway.
I think @Calin is an example of Romanian managing in any conditions. Yes, nothing is stellar or even legal, but he is 18 and everyone went through that phase, yet very few made it this far.
congrats!
post was made on April 1st, I thought it was a april fool.
but it seems serious.
Are you migrating storage node today? My server is down for 2 hrs so far.

Hello no , what server you have? We meet problems at STOR-4 > https://panel.ihostart.com/index.php?rp=/announcements/19/STOR-4-read-only--make-backup-URGENTorASAP.html

Your website and panel are down.
Works here.
Still down at my place and if I check with:
https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ihostart.com?proto=https
Strange - works for me and I don't have it cached.
Im really happy for you, that you can finally switch into a datacenter. Out of the basement
Iām looking forward that maybe the performance will increase too from this.
At all, congratulations Calin
u really deserve that.
It's the same as last time.
Both five-host.com (his upstream) and ihostart.com don't work in Safari but work in Chrome.
mtr and ping is blocked too. nmap says host is up.
tor is blocked too, but why block safari users?
lynx can connect but don't support javascript.
Blocked in all browsers on my phone.
This is weird.
I can access it just fine, but downforeveryoneorjustme.com displays it as down. Pingdom can do speed test just fine.
