I came across the company serveria.com from seeing multiple adverts on this forum offering discounted dedciated servers, so I decided to order a server as they were in the EU and offered a fair server at a fair price.
Several days later I am still waiting for the server, the order has been paid in full and is just 'Pending' so I opened a ticket which has yet to be answered. I have even sent an email but heard nothing. With a company offering dedciated servers on this forum and have a long history I'm not sure what to do, is there an admin to report this too? Has anyone had issues with this company? Are there no checks made on companies offering dedicated servers on this forum? Its put me off now looking for any other servers via this forum.
We currently use Tailor Made Servers for one of our servers. We have 5 more with Rackspace.
We run virtual machines on these servers. Here are the specs we have:
Dual Xeon E5-2620v3
192GB DDR4 RAM
250GB SSD
1TB SSD
1TB SSD
1TB SSD
~12 additional ip addresses
22000 Gigs Bandwidth (currently)
Initially, we are looking for one dedicated server. If the network and server are stable then we'll look at moving the other servers with it.
We are looking to combine them at one location. The reason why we are looking for new servers is that Tailor Made Servers doesn't give us enough bandwidth and we are being charged for additional bandwidth. We are paying $384.00 a month for what we currently have not including bandwidth overage charges.
Not sure if I'm missing anything. I'll respond accordingly if so.
Thanks!
Hi,
I currently work for a company which specializes mainly in full managed hosting for larger companies and full IT outsourcing of operations like ActiveDirectory, Exchange, etc. We maintain a large stack of dedicated and also cloud VPS infrastructure for our clients in local tier3 datacenters. Recently we began to upgrade most of our server equipment and so we are left with a lot of replaced older model enterprise and consumer grade servers.
Since we never had a way of working with selling VPS or dedicated servers via web page - never tried the webhosting business in mass scale ,there was an idea that popped into my head in the last weeks. Would there be a webhosting market to reuse the replaced hardware and offer them as dedicated servers via our webpage or is this kind of hardware simply to low end even with competitive pricing?
We are currently mainly talking about DELL R610 6core servers with different RAM sizes and disks which ofcourse can be customized, and consumer grade i5 and i7 servers with custom configurations.
With our experience we would of course provide all the necesary as 99,9% uptime, DDOS, ipKVM, Unmetered bandwidth, support, as we provide for our enterprise clients from our main business model.
Any suggestion/ constructive debate is welcomed, as I said..just an idea that popped up in my mind.
Maybe this is not the correct part of the forum, so sorry in advance
Hi all,
I'm new here and this my first post
So I'd like to get my own dedicated server and set it up at home to be used for games only but I have no idea what kind of specs that is needed when it comes to servers and the distribution of system resources such as CPU, RAM etc. Storage is self explained obviously.
I'm looking to host like a Minecraft server, 7 days to die server, Rust server etc but in general, if possible to say, how many game servers can you run on a single machine?
What is a good server Intel Xeon CPU these days that is not overkilling my needs to run a few game servers on the machine? Is 64 GB of RAM enough to start with?
What is best for my needs when it comes to the server type like a tower or a rack?
I'm just trying to get an estimated cost to set this all up and i'm a bit overwhelmed what is enough and not so my apologies if I don't provide much information so if you need any more details in order to assist, let me know and I'd be happy to be more specific in the topic .
Internet speed is not an issue as I have 1 Gbit up and down.
Thanks in advance!
Background
We run a game server hosting company which has been running since 2012. We currently rent roughly 200 dedicated servers from 6 different providers. We currently rent roughly 60 of these dedicated servers from WebNX. We've been with them for just over 7 years and I can safely say that they've been the best datacentre we've used. I know how important reviews are to a company; I feel that we've used WebNX long enough to write an honest review.
Support
We've had our fair share of rubbish support from datacentres in the past. WebNX definitely provides the best support out of all the datacentres we've used. During the past 7 years, I'd say the average response time for a ticket at WebNX was about 10 minutes. We've found the biggest issue with large datacentres is that their support teams are disjointed. This leads to issues which "don't fit the norm" taking a long time to resolve. WebNX is large enough to provide 24/7 365 day support yet small enough to provide genuinely good "straight to the point" support.
Reliability / Uptime
All the datacentres we've used have had some sort of major outage at some point in time. During the 7 years, there have been a couple of network outages at WebNX but the issues have always been resolved quickly along with good communication. Considering the number of servers we have with them, I'd say the uptime is incredibly high.
Hardware
During the past 7 years we've switched our server hardware roughly 4 or 5 times. It's as simple as contacting them letting them know what hardware you like, they provide a reasonably priced quote and in a couple of days, the server is delivered. I'd say on average, broken hardware is resolved in roughly an hour from us opening the ticket.
DDoS Protection
I'd say this is the downside of WebNX. They'll automatically nullroute the IP address if a DDoS attack is detected. The amount of time the IP address is nullrouted depends on how much traffic the attack is sending. It's not really a huge issue for us as we can quickly work out which one of our clients was targeted and then get migrate them over to a DDoS protected IP address. I'm hoping at some stage they'll provide onsite DDoS protection.
Price
They're very reasonably priced considering the support and customisation which they offer.
Network
WebNX's network is top notch. Nothing to complain about at all.
Keep up the great work WebNX! Would be great if you could get another datacentre setup in East Coast USA.
I'm looking for dedicated in EU have own datacenter and have AMD Servers.
Dedicated managed or unmanaged, not OVH, Hetzner or similar i need serious company if have multi servers in EU better.
Looking for suggestions.
Hi
Unfortunately it destroys my work and destroys everything
I booked a server from the amantechs company that booked servers or bought servers and sent them to psychz.net, this unprofessional, unprofessional company.
The amantechs company, from which I booked the server, has completely closed its for its website and phones for everything and its owner has disappeared completely from existence that we cannot reach for a month and a half
The control panel is expired, the shell is closed, and we can never access our sites
Servers are still working and at any moment they are liable to stop, effort and fatigue years wasted due to the disappearance of a person and the recklessness of a company
There are contracts signed with clients worth thousands of dollars and have penalty clauses worth tens of thousands of dollars. Postage is standing. It works only with the site. What should I do?
We contacted the parent company
psychz.net
Negligence, reverence, and erratic responses. Lied and deceived by this company, and unnecessarily suspending servers for more than 14 hours and running them without knowing a reason to stop them
They did not ask for anything and everything. Contact the owner of the account who bought the server, sir, the owner of the account is hidden. Does this mean that our servers were lost like this?
I asked them to ask for any proof and it was sent to them. They did not ask for anything from myself. I sent them to them. The control panel of the main domain of the server and some of the domains on the server were sent to them.
A copy of the amantechs company invoices on the server, the last of which is the bill last month and before last, a copy of the passport and everything that was sent to them
After 3 days of communicating and playing with me, they refused to give us any data. I told them, ask for any evidence,and I will bring it to you. They refused and they said the same sentence. Contact the owner of the disappeared account
From here I claim my right
and
I will file a case in court and I will demand a large financial compensation because of the damages that happen to us from this non-professional company
Just wanted to post my terrible experience with W3Space.
They offer absolute ZERO customer support and ignore all tickets.
They claim 24 hour server delivery on their website. So, I ordered a dedicated server from them for $150 on May 18th (over 3 weeks ago).
After a few days of nothing happening, I opened a ticket asking if there's any ETA on delivery. Silence. No response. No, sorry we're out of stock and expect new servers soon. Absolutely NOTHING.
So, after just over a week of no answers I did the only thing I could and opened a Paypal claim.
I also opened a ticket telling them I no longer need the server and to cancel my order. This ticket of course was also ignored.
They still didn't bother to answer. As we all know Paypal claims take some time. After escalating, they had until today to respond.
So, today, last day to respond to the claim, I magically receive server details. No apology. No sorry for being late. Just an email with server details and ticket closed.
Needless to say after 3 weeks of waiting I've already ordered the server elsewhere don't need it anymore. So I have to wait to see what Paypal decides, as I'm out $150 and 3 weeks late received a server that I no longer need and requested multiple time to cancel after failure to deliver or respond to any tickets.
Surprise surprise... they're not answering those tickets either. The only thing they bother to answer is the Paypal claim.
If you want to waste money and get zero customer service. These guys are the place to go.
Otherwise, steer clear. Still waiting to see what Paypal decides now that they've provided them with server information 3 weeks too late.
Hi,
I am looking for two unmanaged servers in Europe. Network uptime and responsiveness of tech support are of priority.
Shortlisted a few companies so far:
Simply Hosting
HiVelocity
ServerMania
Anyone has any recommendations or otherwise for these or other companies?
Thanks.
What is the path the companies take to have IPs registered to their own business names in dedicated server business? So basically if someone looks up an IP it shows a company name of whoever owns or leases the IPs.
What is the actual meaning of Dedicated servers ? ok the answer is a dedicated server is a type of web hosting in which a client has the exclusive use of an entire server. So that mean VPS also a dedicated server. We used that word a decade ago for Bare Metal Servers. I think we should correct the WHT category as Bare Metal Servers. This is just a suggestion. What do you think about that ?
