Hehe, I don't have problems with reading and writing stuff in English (of course I make some mistakes, but not many (hopefully ;)) And I definitvely need a US hoster due to some stupid laws in germany. (The hoster of my website phun.org is located in the US too and the support works very well - in English.

And I think that we could talk better in English than in German, because your German is kinda funny :) - anyway nice try and thanks for the offer - perhaps I contact you later.

i was assuming you were talking about the $3000 100mbs line for hosting not the $100 line.
here is chicago cogent only offers the $1000 line downtown so unless your near downtown spending alot on an office no way to get the $1000 line and i think the $1000 includes transport not 100% sure tho.

Servermatrix is fine by me...though as mentioned, it does help if you can admin your boxes a bit.

They are very good... if you can swing it, go for their higher end products at http://www.theplanet.com/

Yeah they have a good offer. Dual Xenon 2.8 with 2TB traffic for 199$ - Hopefully no cogent BW.

Seems like they're not the cheapest but the worst reputation part is definitely true. They were the first of the cheapest hosts and now new ones have sprung up that undercut Cogent's prices by oversubscribing.

What I've seen is the servers max out 60-70% below the 1000G/monthly limit so figure you can push upto a max of 2 or 3 mbps on em, after that your site will considerably slow down due to the congested burstable pipe and you will almost never max out the 1000G/month limit.

Now they're more or less good servers for starting out but guys this is something you learn from the pros, learn when to 'upgrade' properly and you'll have a happy business :) Don't starve your sites of BW or speed.

I've been using servermatrix for several months. If you need
lots of bandwidth for something like gallery hosting, simply
buy several of the $69 servers and use round robin dns
to distribute the load and use rsync to mirror the content.
I've set this up for several folks now and it works great
and is cheaper than buying their unmetered servers.

My only complaint is that they are sometimes a little
slow to answer their tickets.

Yehap thats 100% correct mate, our site is up on one of our boxes, in our Florida NOC.

Offshore "CLIENTS" sites are set up in our "Amsterdam" NOC.

Have a great day. :thumbsup

According to the latest 2257 regs, amendament about to go through. New laws are only applicable to US states, and US controlled countries.

Therfore Amsterdam is offshore, any questions please feel free to contact the owners of Global Switch. :thumbsup

That's indeed a good idea, but looks like you need a good amount of networking skills, which I don't have.

But as it was said, it's not a problem to do a phonecall right?
You said you've done the setup several times already, would you help out if I get problems by that; some XP is always in demand :winkwink:
