bigred Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 we pay for hardware, some software I guess, but HOSTING????? I don't think so. I used to make decent $$$ hosting some stuff but mostly offsite storage/backups. and the 4000gb mark is low. I just did a recount of the space I have and the servers I have here. Dual MP 2400+ 4gb ddr 12x200gb 2x120gb dual PIII 800eb 1gb pc133 4x160gb 2x80gb dual PIII 600eb 1gb pc133 4x120gb 2x80gb dual PIII 1ghz 1gb pc133 12x200gb (yes MULTIPLE ide raid controllers) 4x120gb dual opteron 242 (1.6ghz) 8gb ddr 4x200gb 12x300gb It's good to have family who works for maxtor in the package design department. all of these drives came from there. all they do there is take a brand new, most of the time new model (most are ata133 10k drives), package it in a box. knock it around, plug it into a testing machine, and dispose of them... good or bad. well the good ones have a habbit of making it from North Carolina to Michigan well it looks like the grand total for drive space is 10,560gb... I've only got about 1/10 of it in use right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandrake Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 (edited) nuthin like a pair of good 'ol cheap-a$$ canadians beggin for hosting, eh tyme? and bigred, do you think you could use a dns server like dyndns.org to give me a dns to use....an auto-ip-updating app should use much resources with those kik . systems you have.

bigred Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 okay, I have found a local isp who is willing to setup a T1 line for a low monthly cost of $500. this means static IP, and full 1.5mb up and down load speeds. They're going to be coming out on monday and checking the equipment here (hopefully my old 10/100 3com 48port router is enough for them), getting the info from ameritech so they can run the line, and go from there. odds are I should be back to hosting within 2 weeks or so. here comes the way I plan on paying for the T1. You guys. Not by you guys giving me money, or anything like that. Just a little website with testimonials for the paying customers. OCC members will get 100mb of space free (possibly more) and email. I'd also like to setup an email server specifically for OCC so we can all have a standardized email system here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
