bandwidth
Does surpass have dedicated servers running on cogent bandwidth or similar, or atlest in the not so distant future??
I have about seven sites in the making, three will be heavy intensive and big bandwidth eaters (hopefully), top notch bandwidth simply isn't an option to go for and i therefore need cogent bandwidth... Although, surpass definatly do offer great prices for shared / relsellers, and i will be getting that oc10 plan to start off... but the extra bandwidth and supplyed bandwidth on dedicated isn't enough /too exspensive... i could quite possibly use up 10,000GB bandwith pretty fast within the starting days of my sites (combind, not per site) which would probabily lead to allot more than that... i would really love to be with surpass compaired to other hosts.... but i can't if you only offer the decent bandwidth :'( i need slow, crappy, unmetered bandwidth instead of super fast and reliable limited bandwidth :'( |

I think if that's the case, you're better off going with an upper end colocation package (you make the server and send it to Surpass - http://www.surpasshosting.com/colocation.php)... but if you're using that much bandwidth, I would hope you're raking a lot of money for advertising and such.

Nah, advertisments suck...
Although the 10k is a bit overboard esp at this stage, i could quite honestly say it could go over that amount by far, but again the sucess of the site is what judges that, but in the end of the day i need to take that into consideration so i'm not transfering GBs of data or somthing from one server to another and a weeks downtime or similar... Colocation is a possiblity, but the problem with that is the fact i do live in the UK which causes some problems and concerns, with that said, surpass's colocation do offer great bandwidth, but it is still premium bandwidth which is twice+ the price compaired to cogent, and even though cogent is worse in comparison, is still perfect for my sites. ty for the reply =) |
