Catalyst Host - Lenoir, NC - from $4.50/m

edited September 2012 in Offers

Before I begin, I notice the excessive use of the word "we" in my post. Catalyst is not a large company or pretending to be. Me & Ryan are more easily referred to as "we."

A few weeks ago we launched our Denver, CO offering that was designed to appeal to people who want large quantities of bandwidth on quality hardware. It comes with a side effect that we are honest about. It isn't the best network. That trade off clearly appeals to many, and it has been quite a success. However, that is not the service that I want to offer those who want to host mission critical content. We desire to appeal to both needs and that is why we have been working on our second offering.

Today I would like to introduce the launch of our Lenoir, NC services. We have worked hard on preparing an offering that we could be proud of from every angle. Between you and me, this is the quality that I want as a customer. To match that as a provider pleases me greatly.

Here are the offers:

NC1
2 cores
256 / 256 vSwap
20gb storage
300GB on 1Gbps port
$4.50/m
http://catalysthost.com/clientarea/cart.php?a=add&pid=21

NC2
2 cores
512 / 512 vSwap
30gb storage
400gb on 1Gbps port
$6.00/m
http://catalysthost.com/clientarea/cart.php?a=add&pid=22

NC3
4 cores
1024 / 1024 vSwap
40gb storage
500GB on 1Gbps port
$7.00/m
http://catalysthost.com/clientarea/cart.php?a=add&pid=23

This node is running 2x Xeon L5420 and a hardware RAID10.

Test IP: 199.241.191.195
Test file: http://199.241.191.195/100mb.test

Feel free to ask any questions here or via our website's contact form. Keep in mind that a ticket alerts us both, a message here only alerts me. We do offer custom plans tailored to your needs, just let me know.

No benchmarks provided, it's an empty node. It runs about like a dual L5420 with a 512mb flash write cache on a 1Gbit line, with nobody else on it. I'll encourage benchmarks when it gets broken in ;)

    I'm from East Texas, it's a wonder I learned to use punctuation? Me still don't do it that good.

    ;)

  • @jarland, what is the difference between this and the unmetered? Except the bandwidth.
    So far I'm satisfied with the unmetered one :)

    More consistent quality bandwidth. FDC is well known for using the bare minimum in upstream providers. I don't want to trash talk my own offering, but I don't want to lie, it's not where I'd host mission critical content. Great hardware, inconsistent bandwidth. It certainly does the job for a lot of people though.

  • Any plans for ipv6?

    Desired, but no time frame right now unfortunately.

    "Me & Ryan" is actually correct. If you were to switch the order around, it would be "Ryan & I" ;)

    It depends on whether you're using the subjective case or the objective case. You don't go from "I" to "Me" just because you switch the order they're in.

    To elaborate, it's "Ryan and I" when you're the subjects of the sentence. "Ryan and I went to the store." It's "Me" when you're the object of the sentence-- "LA Kid blamed the DC for that truck running over Ryan and me." This gets confusing for people in sentences with multiple clauses. The simplest way to check yourself is to take the other person out of the sentence and see if "I" still sounds right. "Michelle went to the bar with Ryan and I" might sound right at first, but if you take Ryan out of the sentence and say, "Michelle went to the bar with I" then you'll realize it sounds wrong.
