Looking for two dedicated servers for work for DR/backups/etc. Must support native IPv6, we will be looking to sign a year contract. Any (single or dual) nehalem xeons 8-16GB RAM RAID10 4x10k/15k SAS or SSD, capacity any Bonded dual gigabit ports 10000GB outbound per server perGB not 95th pctl NOT Spectrum House or Rapidswitch We will need a /29 of IPv4 and a /48 of IPv6 with reverse dns delegated per server with private vlans for each. You will get no abuse reports - we are not running web facing services. I have no problem with giving people with affiliate accounts credit where credit is due, but please do not recommend providers purely based on how much commission you get - I will completely disregard those. We already have kit in Kent Science Park so that location is out too. Looking to spend ~$1800 USD/£1350 per month total, setup fee maximum £1000. Please have a freephone number/VAT number/be a registered company. edit: 100% SLAs - power, network, etc. Latency SLAs too. No budget providers, no bull.
I have a reasonable budget and are not making too ridiculous demands - but people think a single /48 of IPv6 means they can add $200/m to the price for something extremely basic and I'm being offered "OFFSHORE WAREZ HOSTING"?
You're being offered offshore warez because DP is full of a lot of morons that do not know what you are asking for. I would strongly suggest you report anyone that offers that as offering or asking for anything Warez related is against the rules here and subject to a ban. As far as the /48, the price dictated has a lot to do with the fact that VERY few providers even offer this. Those that do are trying to mitigate the expense in doing so. There are very few Tier 1's in the US that offer it, and even fewer Tier 2 and on down the line. No one wants to invest in the expense and new routers to provide this. I'd hardly call a /48 of IPv6 Space "extremely basic". It's just not something that is easy to come by as of yet.
Rackspace US prices are tolerable, Rackspace UK prices would make bill gates blush.. that, and they are a bit iffy on the IPv6.
