How many of you have co-location hosting issues?
1. Either they want you to take a full rack, to get the best value for traffic
2. Or like Afrihost, myserver, where you get 2U for R1xxx, but then only 10GB of traffic (say you have use 1 TB local traffic, then @R5 / gb, it a shock!)
3. At the same time they offer VM's at R2000 including 2TB traffic, but if you buy 2TB traffic on a co-location, it is 10 x more expensive per GB!
4. I currently have my Dell R720 2U in Bree Street, CT (IS) as of when Afrihost was still using IS. I refused to move to MTN's low latency data center, and now I'm sitting on my own there at IS, with a single 2U in a cabinet. (I still just pay the Afrihost myserver price, but the $%*(nail me on the overage).
5. For someone to become an IS partner, is when you get the BEST PRICING !!! but
6. to become a partner, you have to do a turnover of > R15K per month, else you to small for them.
SO HERE ARE MY QUESTION.
Who will be interested in co-location hosting at IS, Bree Street, CT (bandwidth is so wide, it not even worth mentioning).
The idea is, one person (any, I will if I have to) gets an account with IS for a full rack. Everyone pay there own portion @ cost!!!
The person that is the account holder (the Aggregator), will receive an additional % or markup or fix fee from the others for managing the account (remember, this is the person IS will bill directly, so it is somewhat of a risk, if cost is passed through @ cost price).
Everything transparent (prices, fee / markup) and agreed by, by the group owning the RACK.
PLEASE share your thoughts (how else will small guys like us, get good hosting deals?)
