    Power and space is insanely cheap in the Oak Tower, probably because it is a massive utilities customer.

    Promo? Or maybe they can make the economics of this deal work on some level and make $0.50/mo on racks of old gear?

    Assuming they are hosted in even the most basic datacenter build out I don't see how this could even break even for them.

    True but kimsufi does exactly this, and for cheaper than $10/mo.

    For Kimsufi the cheap servers are the main product, but here they might be a one-off special or close to that.

    With free hardware (you would have to throw away otherwise because not even ebay buys it at costs over the shipping ones) it may work if traffic is not that big and limited somehow. I mean not make a loss, not talking about profit because can work only with almost free staff.

    Thank you.

    Most orders take 2 business days to provision

    :(

    Caved, bought a Core2 Quad. Not convinced it'll be much beefier than the Core2 Duo's, but we'll see.

    Would love to see a Serverbear, I'm curious what it would be with the throttling.

    I grabbed both, C2D & C2Q. hopefully they'll be all good :)

    No problem, I'll run it when the server gets delivered.

  • travmedtravmed Member

    Well, that's interesting. Their "Live Webcam" link resolves to IP address of 209.141.39.222 or webcam.datashack.net. So is Wholesale Internet just a Datashack reseller? Also, when you look up that IP it says it is associated with FranTech Solutions. Their website frantech.ca is associated with the BuyVM brand. I'm confused.

    @travmed - Voxility IP ? Maybe they use Voxility for DDoS protection same as Frantech (used to?) and the DB has not updated yet

    Edit: ASN 3223 so yes a Voxility IP.

    I don't know. It looks like it's directly assigned to Frantech http://www.domainiq.com/ip?209.141.39.222

    lol. good point. On a side note, my server is down :( It seems they may be having connectivity issues to the data center. While I appreciate their quick response time to my ticket, I'm not sure that the resolution is very satisfying or worthy of closing the ticket especially since it's still down. It's been over an hour so far since I first noticed it down.

Thank you for your request. I will take a look at this shortly and update you once I have additional information.

Hi, I'm unable to ping to my server. I've ran a tracert and it is timing out. I've attached a screenshot of the route to hopefully help with troubleshooting. Thanks

    They are using BuyVM/Frantech for DDoS protection (or at least for a reverse proxy). Their direct webserver IP is 204.152.38.85 (can be found on their FAQ page).

    I'm beginning to see why they are so cheap. I'm approaching 4 hours downtime already on a server that was provisioned less than 24 hours ago. The latest support response does not ensure confidence:

    Hmm somehow your server got powered off and is refusing to come back online via our automated reboot strips. Perhaps a simple BIOS option was not enabled...

    We are going to have to look further into this issue and we will let you know once we have a resolution.

    Turning it back on would be an option I would think?

    No it would not, certainly figuring out why it powers off in the first place should be a priority (and from their reply for them it is). If they cared less, sure they'd just "turn it back on" and leave you waiting for the same issue to repeat.

    Some BIOS are configured to set power back to the original state after power failure. So if the server was shutdown (shutdown -h now) then you power cycled it using the power strip, it will still be down.

    Datashack is a "reseller" of wholesale internet. Or maybe I should say, they are the same. Same staff, same datacenter, almost same prices.
