I'm not looking at spreading out at the moment. The Chicago plans will go along side the Dallas ones, this is instead of expanding Dallas.
For those of you that don't read The Cest Pit we will be expanding to Phoenix. We chose this location in an effort to better serve the Oceanic/Asia area.
Right now we are looking for a special plan that we can use to open this location. If I choose the plan you post the plan will be named after you.
Rules:
Be realistic with your plans. We are not going to do 3.141GB RAM for 7$
I reserve the right to choose a plan and change some of the specs to suit the markets demand as a whole.
And for those wondering we do have a website coming!
If you choose this plan, don't name it after me, call it the "Phoenix Rising" plan. Here are the details:
256MB RAM
15GB disk OR 7GB disk if SSD
100GB BW
1IP / 10IPv6
$15-20/yr or $2/mo
This seems like a nice, balanced plan for a decent price. Yes, there's cheaper, but I couldn't place a value on the confidence I could put in this plan vs. (ahem) other hosts.
@DStrout Love it! That one will be one of our regular plans! May have to decrease the disk space a little but we will see how things go.
No SSD unfortunately.
You're the boss, but why? As it is this isn't that much disk space, unless you're rockin' SSDs. The 128MB plan linked in your sig has 10GB disk, so I would think 15GB would be a reasonable "bump".
Because we don't have access to the same hardware in each location, each of our nodes are not the same. The new node is much more powerful than our Dallas nodes but the HDD space is only double of that in our Dallas nodes. This means that we can not offer the same plans across all of our location. In saying this if our Phoenix location is popular their is no doubt we will start offering better plans.
I would much prefer to offer a less appealing plan than to offer one that we can not sustain and is unstable.
And that's why I consider providers like you trustworthy. Thanks for explaining.
Not a problem, I am always open to explaining my reasoning for things.
How's the bandwidth situation look? (And, with that in mind, I would like to resubmit my completely unrealistic idea: 512 with 10GB and 3TB for whatever price you see fit.)
1Gbps on the new node. We might be able to offer a few 3TB bandwidth plans or have an upgrade available.
1024MB RAM
50GB disk
250GB BW @ 1Gbps
1IP / 10IPv6
$3.50/mo
do it
@DStrout - You could do what I'm doing... put another router behind the main one and put all your traffic through that one.
How does the latency to Australia compare to other west coast US locations?
Won't be faster compared to some better LA providers. It's not too bad though. Comparable to Las Vegas.
