    few questions

  • AsadAsad Member

    @dominicl I sent an email on Friday and still haven't received a response to it.

    Placed an order last night, just got an email now from their support asking me to verify that I've paid so they can finalise the order, and then it's a two day setup wait.

  • i sent em an email (sales) about colo quotation.. 3-4 months ago..

    Ahh, nice. Others opinions - do you think it would be worth getting one for 1 or 2 months (as that's all I can pay for) or not?

  • AsadAsad Member

    @dominicl Yeah go for it, that's way I'm doing. I'd like to test it out. I'm from the UK so I don't even know how bad the network/latency to the server will be.

    Probably not too bad. Maybe 110-120ms or something like that. If I buy it, what would I do with it..only for a month? :P

    You do you want it? If its just for no purpose and you can only pay 1-2 months its pointless.

    Just want to test it out really :P

  • AsadAsad Member

    This entire site is pretty much a way to waste money, buy cheap servers which end up sitting idle.

    @dominicl Try sending an email to [email protected] instead of presales.

  • JacobJacob Member

    eBay store, Huh, Huh?

    @AsadHaider said: [email protected] is another email they list on their eBay store.

  • AsadAsad Member

    @Jacob Crap, sorry. Got confused :P they don't have an eBay store, different provider.

    sorry i was just trying to know if some replies our LET community can handle, as we all know that chances of hitting their pre-Sales is very slim..

  • PacketVMPacketVM Member, Host Rep

    @AsadHaider said: Try sending an email to [email protected] instead of presales.

    Did that, no response. I think support is quick, anyway..Probably because they only allow emails to there from current customers.

  • AsadAsad Member

    @dominicl I just gave up waiting and placed an order, it's only $40. There's a few threads on WHT about them not replying to pre-sales emails either.

    Yea. Are you going to keep it for more than 1 month?

  • AsadAsad Member

    @dominicl Yeah maybe, might use it to mess around with or DA hosting.

    I'm actually tempted to get the Dual Intel Xeon 5420, does anyone know the specs of the server is it an HP or a Dell? I think it's server grade anyhow..

    Server-grade hardware then I guess. Not sure what datashack support and stuff is like though?

  • @dominicl said: Server-grade hardware then I guess. Not sure what datashack support and stuff is like though?

    The replies I normally got is within a few minutes (less than an hour), except when I asked why they gave me SAS instead of SSD, that one never came :)

    Lol. Have they still not replied to that one?

    Emailed them yesterday and got a reply in an hour or so because sales weren't replying. After that they forwarded it to sales in like 2 mins and then sales actually answered me..in like 30 mins!!!!!

    @dominicl Got my server login details emailed to me this morning, so 18 hours after my order was confirmed. Didn't have to wait two days.

    Everything looks good, they installed a hardware raid controller. I/O is a little crap, I can download files at 70-80mb/s.

    I asked for HP iLO access a few hours ago, got a reply within ten minutes saying that's fine. Got another email twenty minutes later with login details. So pretty impressed with their support.
