Eservers Provided Transfer Beats Rackshack's

[Moonman]

Checl out www.eservers.biz and go to the dedicated servers, you now get 500GB Transfer for the same price.

I believe the offer is currently only open to existing clients. They are making the special available to the general public shortly.

[MN-Carl]

rackshack offer more actually .. you can push up to 600GB + without paying anything :)

[Tazzman]

I was under the impression eservers offer is open to anyone. Exhisting customers just get their transfer limit raised to 500 GIGS a month. Could have read it wrongly though...

Thats correct :)

Actually, if you tried to order, it would take you knowhere. I believe they are now open to the public. We ordered a server last week, and its delayed because they no longer use IBM HD's.. wonder what is in use now?

[SilverX]

what does fully burstable mean exactly?

[sEgAgEs]

Burstable service provides the customer with a full bandwidth, point-to-point connection, yet the customer is only charged for bandwidth that is used. This service was developed to accommodate those customers that require a full bandwidth connection during busy times, but much less bandwidth the rest of the time.

Still waiting for our server. Its been over a week now, I hope they get that shipment sometime freaking soon.

Not *all* but yes some have some develop some serious problems and become terminally ill :(

IBM drives do have good performance, unfortunatly they are not all built for running 24 / 7.

I would have to agree that is is worth the wait. The service has been excellent. Its just that we have clients on a "waiting list" for our next server. I'm a bit hesitant if we will order another as yet.

[ducktape]

atleast with rackshack you get plesk with ur packages.

We just ordered another dual 1.13 from them :)... trying to move away from Rackshack still hopefully by the end of july we will be fully out of the RS facility

[Haze]

Unfortunatly we have clients that want to stay at rackshack. We also provide a few redundant services with our rackshack servers ( unfortunatly ) for a couple of our bigger clients. BTW Robert, how long did it take RS to take the servers off your bill from the time you cancelled them?

[Gayowulf]

Here's a little question that might be somewhat off topic.

Are any of you familiar with eservers or RS's policy on bandwidth?
They say it is burstable, but how burstable? At my current host I am bursting up to 16Mbps at times, 16% of of the 100Mbps port my server is on. I would like to move to eservers, but not if they would have a problem with the occasional (sustained) spike.

[Haze]

RS are bustable to 100 Mbps, but oversell, meaning it may not always be available. You may only be able to burst up to 5 Mbps at times, depending on the local network traffic.

I believe eServers are burtable to 100 Mbps as well, and they provide a 1:1 bandwidth ratio. Here is a quote from there site:

"Many providers oversell their bandwidth, this means that if all their customers started to use more bandwidth then they would not have the capacity to handle this and as a result your servers would be very difficult and slow to access.
At eServers dot Biz we guarantee that we have a 1:1 contention ratio on bandwidth. This means that we will always have enough bandwidth to service every single customer at their full capacity."

You may want to contact both companies and work it out with them that way.

After we submit a cancellation request it takes around 24 hours for them to pull the server. Im guessing they cancel the billing at the same time.
