Private switch

[Flaunt]

Is a private switch necessary for your server?

 

[heymrdj]

If your renting a server (aka buying one from any of the hosts here), no you don't need a switch.

If, however you're colocating (sending a server to a datacenter to be connected), then you will need to provide a switch if you have more than one server to colocate on one connection.

generally the dc will have one or you can negotiate into the deal. Unless you are planning for a half-cab or more usually the dc will provide it for you

Ah, I just wondered. Server seems to be slowing down for some reason

put up an ip for us to try it out. or a test file should do it as well

Try pinging this one: 72.36.132.125

I'm getting 5% packet loss from my end

I did 100 pings from a few locations and received 0% loss

That's a relief! I can't kick my ISP out, more's the pity. Well, as long as everything's up on the user's end! Thanks, people
