So I started ANOTHER hosting company. IonVZ.com - Softlayer Datacenter

And also, a reason for supporting Windows outside of possible spam uses (which I'm not commenting on either way), is for providing software for VA's to use remotely instead of having to install on their own system. So something that allows them to remote desktop in and use tools I own would be nice

I know that xrumer basically does mass spam of forums, so could still classify as spamming. I'm just saying unless Eric decides otherwise we probably wouldn't want to support that kind of specific activity, so if that was the desired intent of wanting windows it would be moot. But as it is right now we don't support windows. Kinda like how Softlayer allows porn, but we don't.

But thats not the reason for not offering windows, just simply clearing up any future misunderstanding of people holding out for it IF the opportunity comes about.

That's fine, all I wanted to know.

I don't know Eric's feeling on it yet (he go night night), but if its the same as his feelings for Cpanel/Whm, he doesn't want to touch it. :D, and personally me being on a Mac probably wouldn't be much good at supporting it either. :food-smiley-010: and yea I don't mean to 'shit on' windows server users, but like others mentioned any time I hear a request for it, its usually for bots, remote spamming, etc. Though one could easily do that in linux, just most of the people who use it don't have that much patience installing something on linux.

We actually tossed this around quite a bit, he wanted something in the name besides VPS, cane up with ionvz, it was short, had a reference to virtualization it in, and the non vz/vps portion of the name is way shorter than Photon for example :P, so shorter = way cooler :action-smiley-052: personally what the hell kind of name is ZenSix?

Oh fuck it obey the Hypnotoad, order now:

Would require at the very least Xen (which solusvm supports), but we would want to get a separate server for that specifically. If I may ask, for what purpose would you need windows, if its for something like xrumer it would be moot point since we couldn't support that on Softlayer's network (acceptable use policy).

I sold my soul to Bill Gates a long time ago, I need .NET support for web app development, not interested in spamming.

Already had that covered :P

And trust me I was in the same boat as you back in '99-01 (course .net had just come out by the time I was getting out). I think I actually spent close to the same price as these plans for windows shared hosting at hostway.com back then. You can do ASP on linux, but god Mono was such a pain in the ass the first time I tried it.

Why am I still talking bout windows...
 
I did want to point out though the reasoning I would want win VPS or dedi is because where I live has low BW DSL ( no cable here ) so putting apps ( not xrumer ) on it and letting them run is what I was doing. Yes, these are bots or apps.. but their not spam bots or spam apps.

Just need something to run in the background and not hog up my BW at home ( or my cpu/ram ) and also for VA's as well when they need to do things.

lol, no problem. Honestly, nothing I do will ever include Windows hosting, if for no other reason than I've never even touched a Windows server.

And the last time I ever touched a windows server aside from the occasional client asking for some help was back when I was a programmer/analyst and the server was NT4 on a quad pentium 200mhz. :p
 
Raid 1, RE3, i7 4 core and Supermicro is top of the line? You must have missed the talks about SAS (or even RE4), X-25E, Raid 6 (2 HDD failure), i7 6 core and don't even get me started about Supermicro...

Any time we have to order something 16+ have to fill out a justification form, send it with a reason etc. I usually just say "Other" and specify its for new customer VPSes, sign it and send it back to them. There's no guarantee that the new sets will have a different class C set, right now we got a batch of 173.244.119.x, but seeing as its nearly a week later from the last batch, decent chance of getting another class-c set (especially since the last IP in the batch we have ends in .199 and surely others have ordered IPs from them since).

If you wanted to get 4 one week, then 4 the next, what I'd likely do is order a batch of 8 one week then 8 the next week (they require they be ordered in batches of 8s, basically put 4 of each into the surplus pool). Then there's a better chance of having different class-c.

I can ask them again about getting non-sequential IPs but thats basically what they told me last time (ordering them at different times).

The speed test just maxed out my home connection.

1318.5 kB/s - 27.8 MB of 100 MB, 56 secs left

Guess mediacom a bit behind the times compared to AT&T Uverse, Comcast Cable, etc. (can get down 20megabytes per second on even my mom's AT&T internet, and when I had comcast 6MB/sec was pretty easy.) But least we know you'd max out a 10mbit line :D

This is of course from Wholesaleinternet downloading from the ionvz box on softlayer (WSI datacenter is used for zensix, which the box itself has 100bmbit port)

Don't have a gbit server on a different network, doing the test within the same datacenter would naturally get maxed out on the private port, so not much of a test.

No Gbit server on another network to test though (and testing between servers on the same datacenter isn't much of a comparison since they max out the private port)
