European BW is dirt cheap!
 

Seriously, did you guys know this?

Not only do some european hosting companies have dirt cheap (yes less than cogent!), they even have better networks. The reason they have cheap bw is because of good peering relationships there. Anyone here on a european host (UK)?

Didn't know that, but I'd like to get some virtual accounts on some servers located in Italy, the UK, netherlands and maybe Spain..

Definitely check some EU hosts. (go to WHT and search for them)

I actually ordered 2 big ass servers today. They will be online tomorrow - they will be fast and they will save me a load of $$$. :thumbsup

O shit, i totally forgot about this.

No more 2257 bullshits either!

France = Dirtcheap (mostly free peerings, but good networks) :winkwink:

Germany = Dirtcheap, but sometimes strange TOS and Laws...

NL = Cheap and good.

Sweden = Hard to get, but worth it.

Austria, Switzerland = soon, most buy in Germany

UK = unsure, not the best references I've found.

Still looking into many more.

Any good EU hosting reccomendations?

Contact me bout swedish bw, i can pull some strings....

The compant that i am going with seems very good.

I just want to make some test runs before i can reccomend them. :thumbsup

hit me up on ICQ with pricing if you have any plans handy.

Thanx,
Steve

Welcome... If you have any questions, leave me an ICQ msg, as I'll be hitting the cushions soon...

I wouldn't host porn in the UK..just my view though

Considering 80-90% of people buying porn are in the USA I feel its best to keep things in the USA, even if its on cogent its still going to be better than going all the way to Europe and back speed wise.

And when I say 80-90% I mean for paysites paying PPS. Most of Europe either doesn't have creditcards, is scared of using them or the billing companies CCbill & Epoch block most of them. Dunno but 80-90% of credit card orders on paysites which are the basis for PPS programs are still USA based. And any other ways of billing Europe usually =$2-5 once off per customer for the paysite owner nothing more. Other billing options suck plan and simple for Europe. Would be good to see that change.

Good to see bandwidth dropping elsewhere though, what can you get a 100mbit pipe for in Europe these days for?

AdultEUHost <--- GREAT.

Why is this?

Because the law regarding porn on the internet aren't clear. If you are doing anything beyond basic softcore I would keep off UK hosts.

You should try to get an european bank account without any credit card, nearly impossible these days!

I've seen...

Cpu 2.8
1024Mb ram
120GB harddisk
100Mbit Bandwith

1365,- euros
per month no setup

Are you nuts??

Oh I see... makes sense to me thanks :thumbsup

I just got another server.

Fully managed dedicated server, decent specs, and unmetered bandwith for under $300.

I dont think bandwidth is so expensive.

I stopped reading right there. what the fucking are you talking about??

Some good info in this thread, so bump! BW is getting chhheeeaaappppp.

We also don't have hot and cold running water or electricity.

You're very mistaken.

good list

post if theres more.

For the best in EU hosting and colocation contact me. I'm provider independent,
have solid business relations with a lot of the top EU hosting companies and get
you killer deals without doing concessions to quality. My office is in 1 of the
more advanced carrier independent datacenters in Amsterdam :-)

Hey guys hit me up we have virtual and managed dedicated in NL awesome pricing!

Please for your own sake stop making an ass out of yourself.....really you make yourself look like a bigger fool than you probably already are :winkwink:

I don't know about that, where is that from?

The current credit card debt in the UK alone would buy membership to over 2.5 Billion porn sites :)

that is always a good reason! :thumbsup

yup. never understood where some people on this board get their information from...
