Web sites

Anyone out there have a need for some web space with unlimited bandwidth?

[CanaBalistic]

Well yeah! :)

More info plz...

[Scotty]

Hell Yeah!

Any free hosting?

[SgtM]

Ok.. here's what I got going on. I'm starting a small hosting company. So far, I will have 1 server located in a data center in Dallas, redundant internet circuits, battery backup, generator, 99.9% uptime. Sorry Scotty, nothing free, but our prices will be very reasonable, and we will also be offering site design. I'm just trying to get a feel of who needs what and how soon. Maybe if demand is enough, I'll place my order sooner rather than later.

[Scotty]

Damn nowhere gives good bandwith for free :( then again i could always pay for a site :S eh..

Although Unlimited bandwith is great not many company's offer it. 99.9% uptime is always a good thing :D

If you offer FTP and and your prices are reasonable I'm in. Does unlimited bandwith mean unlimited transfers or unlimted space. If not how much space allowance.

Good question Simon. I can do FTP for you no problem. Unlimited bandwidth means unlimited transfers. I'm working up a price sheet for space allowances. How much space do you think you will need?

**Keep in mind, my server is not live yet..

Im intrested. I have no credit card but can pay with pay pal. I Have lots of hi-res images and would need a bare minimum of 50mb for pics alone, Probly 25mb for my kick arse site, and another 25mb for ****s and giggles. So i'd need roughly 100-150-200mb for my basic html site. Another 100mb if i was to use php or asp.

Would we get our own database or would we have to "share"?
What about CGI scripts?
What are the server specs?
ASP, FrontPage?

Cana-Balsitic,

Thanks for the interest man. Well, you all have definitely made me want to order the server now.. problem is, I can't start operating under my corporation for about 4-6 weeks. I'm going to see what I can do about fixing that.

Server specs:
2.4 Ghz dual Xeon server
2 gigs ram
120Gb HDD x 2 (IDE)
Red Hat Ent 4.0
cPanel with fantastico
multiple redundant internet circuits (OC-48's)
battery backup, generator on site (we can run on batteries for about a week before firing up the generators)

I'm trying to finalize prices tonight. I'm not ordering SQL services right away, but if there's more interest, I'll reconsider.

** Edit **
Yes, I can support Front Page, CGI for Linux, and ASP for Perl scripting.

multiple redundant internet circuits (OC-48's)


For those that might not know, an OC-48 is equal to 48 T3's (or DS3), and runs at 2.5 gigabits per second. 1 T3 is equal to 28 T1's.

Also will you offer domain support

Sure, you can point that to me, once I'm up. I can also take care of registering your domain for you. I got pricing down, so anyone who's interested, PM me your E-mail address, and I'll send it out to you.

Forgot to mention..

Mods, if this post infringes on any rules, please feel free to delete it.

Just wanted to bring this back to the top. We're almost ready to order the server, just waiting on some paperwork to come back. If anyone is still interested, let me know.

[Scotty]

IM still interested, Unlimited bandwith is always a good thing.

[SgtM]

Thanks Scotty. PM me your E-mail address, and I'll send you a price sheet. I found out today that our name got approved.

MS Computer Technologies, Inc. As soon as the rest of the paperwork comes back in about a month, we'll be ready to roll.

[SgtM]

It's official! MS Computer Technologies, Inc. is in business! We just got the paperwork today, so I'll be getting the server up soon.
