Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Looking at this place for colocation:
[link|http://www.waveform.net/colo/|http://www.waveform.net/colo/]

Any comments? Knight is an Antec Performance TX TX1050B, which fits their tower size specs.

The datacenter is actually in the same building I used to work in a few jobs ago. :-) 25 minutes from my house, 22 minutes from work.

$59/mo for rackspace and 1Mbps seems pretty good to me. It would cost that much just for a residential cable connection at that speed.

New Looks good.
If it's easy for you, I think it's a prime reason to pick them. Dunno if 1 Mb/s is enough, but presumably if more bandwidth were needed an upgrade would be easy (2 Mb/s is $99/mo).

It looks like a great choice to this part of the peanut gallery.

Cheers,
Scott.
New 1Mbps is 3X what it's going to have tomorrow night :-P
And 1.5X what it would have it I upgraded my Comcast connection.

I could try the 1000G/month option to see how that flies, too. I don't know if that's capped, though, throughput-wise. The highest month we've had in the past year was 9G of transfers for Z (although there are other sites on the machine as well).

New The 1 Mb/s choice looks fine to me.
At the end of that table it says:

Additional IP Address $1.00/month each -- Additional Bandwidth $0.50/Gigabyte


1 Mb/s = 2592 Gb/mo (30 day month). Assuming a B = 10 b (parity, etc.) then that's 259 GB/mo. If we only use 9 GB/mo, then there should be plenty of headroom - unless the other sites on knight use an awful lot more than we do.

The unmetered aspect might be more appealing than the 1000 GB/mo case, but I don't know for sure.

Boxley or broom might have some more insight on this.

Cheers,
Scott.
New Those are naive calculations, though.
Naive meaning simple, of course.

They don't take into account peak usage.

"Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
New Sure. :-)
Does Z have any logs of peak usage?

The stuff that's easy to find in the stats shows that when Z was being hammered by spam in [link|http://www.iwethey.org/zlogs/usage_200511.html|November] that the peak kB/day was 419642 - 420 MB/day = 4.9 kB/s so still 1 Mb/s should be fine to handle that type of load too.

But that's also a naive calculation. :-) I don't think a factor of 2 is going to make much difference. I'd say try for the $60/mo 1 Mb/s package and we can always make adjustments.

I'm more than willing to be overruled on this though. :-)

Cheers,
Scott.
(Who's had about 1/2 a bottle of wine, so wouldn't bet anything on these calculations. :-)
