WTB: Dedicated Server - 1000 concurrent users minimum - VBulleting + Shout + Download

    I need a server for another business I am managing... The site needs to support a minimum of 1000 concurrent users, with around 500gb bandwidth minimum per month, 40gb or larger hard drive...

    It needs to be dedicated, It must be managed, We must be able to get root access if we need it OR you must be on call to change server settings if we need it... We need the latest PHP, MySQL, Apache, with a Linux OS..

    We have switched hosts 5 times now, and Godaddy sucks, they gave us something they said would work, but actually was worse than the shared hosting we had, so we are out, looking for another host...

    We have multiple domains, emails, and all that...

    Please let me know if you have the server for us!

    I dont care about deals to be honest, I need something that will work for what we use it for :)

    Saving money is a plus, but not a requirement right now.

    I tried talking to iweb, but got no where on their live chat - tried calling and was on hold for around 40 minutes with no answer so I hung up - which means they are out of the running.......

    As long as someone can give me a guarantee in writing, I will sign up, like today!!!!!

    I have an extra server for sale and/or rent on my rack located in Los Angeles, CA.

    The server is a dual processor server with 2gb memory and 2x 73gb 10KRPM drives. Rental price is 125$/mo with 1TB of bandwidth, or you can buy the server outright and pay a small colocation fee, or have the server shipped to another location if purchased outright.

    You can see the thread here:

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=804299

    In addition, I offer Intensive Management Services starting at 80$/mo. You can request support through email, support ticket, as well as the popular IM utilities such as YM, Skype, MSN, and GChat.

    If you would like, I could put you in contact with a few of my current clients so you can query them regarding reliability/quality of my services.

    If high availability and reliability is what you are looking for, I would suggest a little web cluster with the addition of a dedicated MySQL Server and an optional MySQL replication server for real time backups. You can see the details of our little web cluster here : iweb.com/managed-hosting/web-cluster/ you will see lower in the page a customer testimonial, this customer (big soccer) runs a 121,935 member forum on an enhanced version of the cluster (multiple web and db servers). With 1000 concurrent vbulletin users you need at least 2 high end servers (one web + one database) but the cluster would provide a better solution and scalability.

    As for the contact problems you had, we are sorry and it should be fixed soon but once you get through the first line of contact you should be happy, you will have direct contacts with the sales staff for quick answers and for support requests once your server is online you can report emergencies through our customer hub and they are treated as priorities. Sysadmins are also quick on answers and if you go for a managed cluster you will get special contacts and escalation procedures.

    Hello,

    We don't offer servers publicly off of our website but do custom builds for our clients who have outgrown their shared environment. It looks like you have a pretty busy site going their, if you indeed are going to have a minimum of 1000 concurrent users I can do the following for you:

    Enterprise-Class Server
    • 8x AMD Opteron 885's(16 cores)
    • 32GB Fully Buffered RAM
    • 8x36GB 15k SCSI drives in raid 10(This will give you 144GB usable space and you'll have the fastest disk speeds available with these drives)
    • 4TB Bandwidth
    • Free Remote access card, KVM, remote cd mounting, reboots, etc
    • Fully managed, root access available. 24/7 ticket & email based support with emergency phone contact.
    A server like that would run you $1199/month.

    What kind of website are you running? 1000 concurrent users and only 5GB worth of bandwidth useage from the last 2 days doesn't really seem to add up(that's only around 75GB per month). Is it 1000 concurrent users at all times or only peak times? What kind of server are you being hosted on now? If it's possible you over estimated your usage and concurrent user amount, here is a more reasonable server for you:

    Business-Class Server
    • 2x Quad Intel Xeon 5310 (8 cores)
    • 8GB Fully Buffered RAM
    • 2500GB Premium LA Bandwidth
    • 4x 74GB 10k Hard Drives in raid 10 (148GB useable)
    • Free Remote access card, KVM, remote cd mounting, reboots, etc.
    • Fully managed, root access available. 24/7 ticket & email based support with emergency phone contact.
    $799/mo

    We are not a budget host by any means but if you require mission critical hosting then we are actually very cost effective compared to other providers such as rackspace, contegix, datapipe, etc.

    If you'd be interest in this or wish to discuss other possible server builds please contact me via PM or either through live chat or sales email on our website, which can be found on the link in my signature.

    Best Regards,
