The closer you are the better. You can get there in case of an emergency and you save on shipping.
How much does the place charge for remote hands?
The thing is, I want more control.
The thing is, here is MUCH more expensive.... Than say Datashack or joes
45 amps? Lol? 45U?
how many AMPs. Plus datashack uses cogent and he. 1gbit costs like 700 dollars. It is cheap as hell. Plus space is cheaper in Kansas. You get what you pay for.
Who is your San Diego provider?
IPMI?
^^^
I think he means like if a hard drive failed he can walk in and change it him self quickly.
I dont have one yet, thats just a quote..
And yes, 45 AMPS
Well if it is 45 amps then that is an awesome deal. Super cheap.
Most datacenters can not do 45 amps. (Weird number ... that is why I am not sure)
It goes
20 A on 120v
30 A on 120v
20A on 208v
30A on 208v
Yes. I've never once had a good experience with colo'ing to a place that wasn't close by. Even now, I rent from WSI/Datashack because they are three hours away and that's just too far for me.
Perhaps @Francisco can weigh in on how they can work things out with their DC in San Jose and him in Canada (BC?)
It is all about making the right plans and fully understanding what help will be given by the DC in the event of a disaster.
No point paying $5/month for 100U's of space if they aren't open on a saturday / Sunday for the public and you loose every last one of your customers
Infrastructure is something that you simply cannot plan enough.
This is just my 2 cents, but if you are offering paid services, then unless you have enough experience, you are best off starting with a DC physically accessible to you -- say, max. 2 hours driving time. Even if you have IPMI/KVM, worst case you can always just go fix it yourself.
How about wire? You do not mention any bandwidth.
Now, if you are close you can get away with skimping on the hardware as you are close and can just go fix it, but if you are far, you want good quality gear that you can remotely manage and drives do fail, often, so hot swap is a must as most datacenters will include no-charge reboots/hot swap.
30mbit at the 95th percentile, to 1gbit
They have an onsite tech.
If this is a personal server then 95% is OK, but if this has clients, go with unit billing so then you don't get screwed.

More like a rack rapist
I'm just going to ask em to cap it at 30mbps
That works since they'd only give you 10TB probably

@Francisco
Where in San Jose do you colo? I live in the area, and might be interested.
coresite
Thanks to everyone in here, I have decided that I will collocate in san diego.
Cool. Who's the lucky datacenter?
Scalematrix or AIS
If you're going to colo for mine craft hosting you're better off doing it in Dallas or Denver because both locations generally have central latency to the rest of the US. You stick those on the west coast, then East coast people may look elsewhere. with World of Warcraft servers were prime in Dallas, until they moved them to Chicago.
Same if you were ever going offer any VOIP products like ventrilo. It has to be less than 150ms to both coasts. Dallas is about 56/46 West/East Denver's a little higher only because the paths generally go south before going east or west depending on the provider. Some will go east to St Louis, but then go south again or up to Chicago after.
I'd rather have Kansas City than Dallas or anything else central... except for Chicago. Chicago's fine.
If you're looking at San Diego, consider Fast Serv. They posted this a while ago but the offer might still stand:
Anybody have any PDU's/ Powerstrips with amp meters? xD
Kill-a-Watt FTW
