    it's probably cheaper in the long run to buy one of these and colo it (6 month/12 month terms)

    get em on ebay quite cheap

    Good deal for the UK, but I'd avoid RedStation.

  • online.net and ponyporn sounds better

    Power in the UK will be the major factor.... It is quite expensive.

    not as bad as you think :)

    Quarterly (- 5%) £28.49/month (£85.47)
    Annually (- 15%) £25.49/month (£305.88)

    So only that price if you pay Annually in advance

    Thanks for pointing that out. @Jarland can you please update the thread.

    They got nucular powerplants, eh should not be so expensive.

  • is redstation still forcing customers to use their mail relay to send mails?

  • @Riz said:

    No problem.

    My own experience previously, oversold bandwidth and the below.

    Buying hosting from Redstation is a bit like buying an airline ticket but we have customers that host with them and they are happy. I've also been to their Gosport facility to install gear for a customer and it's modern and well staffed.

    The policy on mail relays has changed and I understand that colo customers are no longer required to use it. I'm not sure about dedi.

  • Used these guys a while ago, very decent network and no complaints on routing. Support was ace back then unsure about now. They usually have some big blowouts throughout the year with some great deals.

  • Aren't they part of Iomart thesedays?

  • @dragon2611 said:

    Yup, they've been apart of IOmart for the last 3 years if I remember correctly.

  • I had a Storage server there with 12*6TB drives they are good and support is ok they have helped me solve routing problems that solved the network issue

    Good host IMO

  • Could anyone with a mac try the link in chrome and let me know if it throws a cert error, I'm not sure if they've buggered up their cert chain or I'm missing one of the Comodo roots.

    Just had someone check and it works on Chrome/Safari on OSX 10.11.2

    Weird, for some reason mine wasn't trusting some of the Comodo CA certs, Checked the fingerprints.etc Cert I'm being presented appears genuine as far as I can tell.

    Specifically it didn't want to trust the COMODO Extended validation Secure Server CA or the Domain Validation Secure Server CA for some reason.

    These servers aren't provisioned with /29s at all. You're allocated 4 sequential IPv4 addresses in a larger net block.

  • dragon2611dragon2611 Member
    edited January 2016

    Complain at them, also a /29 would only give you 4 usable if they were using one of the IP's in it for their own gateway.

    If they were routing you a proper /29 then the better way would be a would to be allocate another IP from a different subnet then actually route you the /29 which is what I'd prefer as you could use the entire /29 that way (Including the network/broadcast if your natting or do OVH like tricks to make them all /32's)

    Probably looking at £200-£300 on Ebay for the chassis alone, £100/drive an £60 for 4 x 4GB DIMMs. (These have dracs in them bare in mind so they're likely more likely to be to the top end of £300)

    Min: £360 outlay.

    1U Colo w/ 1Gbps port with 200Mbps guaranteed 0.5A power

    Other than Redstation I'm not aware of anyone in the UK that would offer that for less than £100/mo in Colo.

  • As a brit I can tell you power is expensive we have a fairly cheap tariff at home and it Costs 32p for 2kW (roughly) plus a standing charge of 30p per day

    Chip

    in the region of £180 i have found. (without HDD's though but they are cheap as chips), just contact the sellers directly :)
