    Your point being? Juniper routers never die?

  • I'm a dedicated server used to make websites. This failure lasts for nearly 10 hours. Three days ago, there was a network failure for nearly 8 hours. Unfortunately, there were two failures in these days. Now my website IP is very few.

    You get what you pay for. These VPS are perfect for torrenting, sharing isos with your friends, using them as backup storage etc..

    I'm going to migrate to another place and replace the dedicated server with storage VPS for backup and storage

    Nexus Bytes is offering a sweet switch deal if you are ok with VPS. My experience is that it is very stable and performs like a dedicated even though it is a VPS. Have a chat with @seriesn

    Dear Hostsolutions.ro clients, Unfortunately, this morning, our core router (A new Juniper purchased very recently) has completely fried. This was an unexpected event given the fact that it's brand-new hardware deployed to our network. We are currently working on replacing the core router with our older model - and sending the Juniper to RMA for repair and ask for further details from the manufacturer. The ETA is one hour. Our sincere apologies for the hassle this may cause to you.

    I swear, Junipers must be the most unreliable enterprise routers around. whats the point in spending so much money on enterprise gear when they dont offer any semblance of reliability relatice to commodity gear.

    Ive got DIY routers in production handling millions of pps in some locations, basically cost nothing, and setup with redundancy in mind. A juniper setup of equivalent capacity would cost me ~50K+.

    Cisco seems alright re. reliability. Still damned expensive tho. Need to look into those cheap huawei knockoffs i keep hearing about

    Oh no. Every time a Cisco 6500 gets replaced by something else, things start to get worse. :)
    Those good old catalysts are old and energy inefficient. But they usually just work for decades. :)

    Maybe the fancy routers are delicate flowers.

    I'm confident that those concerns won't be worse than the Cisco and Juniper cluster f_ckups ...

    I keep my tiny list of cociu business adventures. So far:

    1. The FSCK incident;
    2. Self-shrinking disk space (a.k.a disappearing storage);
    3. Network uptime is like there is no tomorrow (a.k.a accidental uptime);
    4. Critical for business WHMCS module, which took 1+ year to develop;
    5. Completely fried enterprise grade, new (?) network hardware from Juniper (this is comparable to lightning strike underground in a moon, orbiting around Uranus);

    Honestly, this keeps me motivated to continue my own endeavours and believe that I can and I will succeed no matter what.

    Honestly, HostSoultions don't need a router as AS44420 is single-homed to AS5588.

    Two modern L3 switches would be enough and it's much cheaper more reliable:-D

    How could you put Hostsolutions and Hetzner on the same list?

    Has Hostsolutions scammed anyone, just like has Hetzner scammed anyone? Some people here also have negative opinions about Virmach but they haven't scammed anyone as far as I have seen.

    You'd be surprised. While "completely fried" is not very informative, a lot of new Juniper gear is RMA'd. Happened to us, happened to clients of ours. With proper support contract and redundancy in place should not be that big of an issue. Don't get me wrong, our Juniper gear is rock solid, but it does happen that parts need to be replaced.

    I am not shame of all this , yes we have past all this and we still can pass the same , in this business for your info can happened anything including in company with many millions inverted what is not the case here. IF the big company is present you a "cosmetic phrase" and you like to be informed like " We are sorry but we have some internal problems , for us you are the most important person of the world and our tech guys killing sisters for you " here in Hostsolutions.ro we are not the same. Like many time i have try to be the more transparent/directly guy and i have told the true not cosmetic answers.

    2 years ago Yahoo.com for exemple was hacked .... so do you have a list of this comany with all fails , facebook the same , etc etc. So i am not eaven try to compare my small business with such gigants but the shit happen. So if you are something personal this is another story.

    Any way for your info :smile:

    1) this last year we have grow 100% in clients and also in income
    2) this last year we have grow in internet capacity + new peerings
    3) this last year i have made many upgrades to our servers + routers
    4) this last year we have get @MikePT for a fixed job and we are glad with this inversion the guy is like our family and is work hard.
    5) this last year i have ofered almost 1 eur/ 1tb space + 1 ipv4 +10 tb traffic/mo in a verry large production wich cannot be easy to do
    6) this last year we have test many modules (some people from this forum can confirm because we have contracted also external people to help us with the implementation)
    7 ) This last year we have implemented for free to all our customers ddos protection (btw many of my competitors is charge huge amount for this)
    8) this last year we have made at least 5 promos with 50% credit (who was beleve in us and was upload credit have the posibility to buy our product eaven less than norma offers)
    9) this last year our affiliates was earning with us +30 k
    10) Fuckk off because i repeat i am not the best , i never will be but i know i do all my best to be there in the list of active hostings so with this i can guarantee hostsolutions.ro will be there.

    11) Dont be frustrated , we have the cristmas here so I wish you happy holliday and good time with the family because is the most important.

    EDIT : This last year we have change our location in a new one so we have move hundred of servers in production with less than 30 min downtime (the existing clients in that point when we have move it can confirm) and was need to recreate the entirely network in the new location , including fiber , electrical stuff, racks etc. We are 8 persons working fisical here so i dont think is a easy job ...

    This last year we have received one of the most (top 3) "suspect/hight" ddos atack from romania at least is what one guy from voxility told me , and i strong beleve this is related to LET ...

    ETC etc , i will not stay now to related all our work because was huge effort this year to keep this challenge

  • The funny thing is that if all the @cociu haters are correct, @cociu would have long gone the way of the dodo because based on free market ideology, there is no reason to stay with an obviously shit provider. The weight of evidence is in @cociu's favour, but well, haters either engage in motivated reasoning or try to erase their cognitive dissonance by selecting data points to fit their preferred conclusion that @cociu just plain suck, conveniently ignoring the mass of evidence that counters what they believe.

    Let's see if @cociu continues to grow even bigger and better. I think that is very likely to happen, and the same haters will say the same things in future, forgetting that they have been proven wrong again and again.
