Is united colo a scam? (serious question)
 

These prices are insane. Sorry if this seems like a plug but $99/mo for 1000GB transfer on non-congent bw? And the server is included, no setup fee?

Is their tech support just really terrible or something? Any comments appreciated.

they are not a scam, however it is UNmanaged, and their uptime is not perfect, do a search

Hi,

No scam, but they have had problems in the past I think.

search the forums and read at:

What big sites are using them?

im using nocster now, (from burst) also 1000 gigs for $100 and its managed and service is actually pretty good.

Contact me if u want to know more about them, not trying to refer you just the host that I use and they worked for me .... you know my icq #

I have a gallery box on United Colo.. decent machines for the price, bandwidth is okay for non business critical applications.. Give them a go man, it doesnt hurt.. and they're not crooks.

btw.. tech support has gotten MUCH better in the past couple months, they answer the phone now!!! :thumbsup

I moved all my shit off Burst after that last downtime a couple months ago.. They're good, but that totally soured me to them, as I was only with them for a couple months before that happened.

the catch is that there is no set up, and there is no support . . . unless you want to pay $65/hr

yes, they do answer the phone, although I am not really sure why

so burst versus united colo, which would you guys choose? And yeah, this is for non-critical apps :)

Pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited on any BurstNET Technologies, Inc.? server EXCEPT those on the UnRestricted.NET Network This includes sites that may infur sexual content, or links to adult content elsewhere.

And the unrestricted.net network costs more and offers less.

The UNRESTRICTED.NET service has just been re-launched:

And as far as uptime, that was remedied some time ago:

That was primarily due to some carrier outages we had way back then, which has been remedied early last year with some network upgrades and improved redundancy...
