How well is SoYouStart? Before I pay and Pay setup fee.
My site is currently almost always 24/7 maxing out my 200mb port limit. So I`m going to be using 30TB+ a month of BW. On SoYouStart would they complain? or limit my port? ( I cannot have that)
Is the 250mbps guaranteed?
And yes all my files and downloads are all legit.
Comments
It's guaranteed 250Mbps with unmetered bandwidth.
Guaranteed, you can burst higher than 250mbps and thats where they limit you, but I dont believe they limit you to less than 250mbps.
Thanks! Would they shut me down or suspend for using 40TB a month?
Unlikely, one of their main selling points is that they offer unmetered bandwidth.
Uptime good?
No.
My kimsufis had bad network sometimes (15-30 mbit/s) but since SYS reads "guaranteed"...
Indeed.
Thanks
Now paying that setup fee is what kills it for me to make me want to think about it. Just renewed my current provider $38 so its a little difficult.
If you just want bandwidth slaves you could get several kimsufis
And maybe look into cloudflare, I once read it caches even larger files
Yes, that is a great idea.
I have 30 KS-1 here for a streaming site.
One last question. Any advantage to ordering with SYS France? it comes out cheaper.
And which is better, SYS-IP-1 or E3-SAT-1? difference besides CPU? the SYS are sold out.
@hyelton if you're not keen to pay setup charges, perhaps a high bandwidth KVM up to 100TB, E5 3.7GHz node, will suffice. what specs would you be looking at?
2TB HD, 4GB or more of RAM, Decent CPU, Currently have a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3450 CPU
I was really liking SYS until I seen it will prob be a week before the "120Sec" Setup time will be done for new customers.
@hyelton sorry not possible for KVM, storage too high, will cost a bomb. E5s aren't cheap. SYS setup time is on condition your account is already validated.
How much or if possible for 500GB?
@hyelton are you looking at 500GB RAID1 (this is equal to 1TB) storage or just 500GB (equals 250GB RAID1)?
250GB RAID1
@hyelton 240GB RAID1 storage | 6GB dedicated RAM | 6GB swap | 1 Gbit port (shared) | E5 3.7GHz node | Uptime SLA 99.98% | $40.56 after 20% recurring discount | Additional IPv4 $0.50 per IP | Does this meet your budget? No setup fee. Oh yea, bandwidth is guaranteed 500Mbps (shared)
you could probably have it as 2 or 3 separate servers, 1 webserver and 2 download storage server or whatever. Need not have 1 big server. we can customize the whole thing for you with total cost as mentioned.
Tell you what, I'll throw in a cPanel shared hosting account (blazing fast 3.4GHz E3 node) FREE so you won't need a webserver.
what model number?
node) FREE so you won't need a webserver.
