Dedicated Servers and Colocation from FinalGear

[Quiky]

FinalGear is offering a special deal on dedicated servers and colocation-- we have spare bandwidth and space we are paying for, so why not resell our extra capacity!

We are hosted in Netriplex (Asheville North Carolina), a top-quality 100% uptime datacenter with 240gbit/sec transit connectivity, featuring TopLayer Intrusion Detection Systems and Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) mitigation.

When you host your servers or colocate with us, you get a 99.95% power and network availability guarantee to your server (Excluding scheduled downtime and due to hardware or software failure on your server), daytime phone support, 24/7 email technical support, and 24/7/365 server monitoring with email alerts. Colocation servers are unmanaged-- we only handle technical support for our network, and limited remote hands&eyes (45 mins/month is free, additional is $45/hour billed in 15 minute increments billed through the datacenter).

We have two types of hosting options:

Colocation: You provide the server, we provide the network.
5 IPs included, and incoming bandwidth to your server is unmetered (Capped at 100mbit).
Month-by-month hosting, no contract required: $40 setup fee
3-month contract or higher: $0 setup fee
-1U Rack Space: $10
-1Amp Power @ 120v: $18
-10mbit (3TB Out) $30
-50mbit (16TB Out): $110
-100mbit dedicated (32TB Out): $180

Thought about bringing back the hosting/file backup?

[PacketCollision]

We're not doing cpanel shared hosting, but if you have specific hosting requirements that you'd like to talk to us about, feel free to PM me.

[Dr_Grip]

Wow, that was one great reliability advertisement there

[PacketCollision]

Actually, only servers connected to FG were affected, the others continued to function. We have implemented even more measures to limit exposure between servers, and FG problems shouldn't have an effect on hosting.

[Viper007Bond]

Yes, I was mistaken about the whole rack going down (multiple FinalGear servers were affected, so I thought the whole rack was).

Why not?

[narf]

Why not?

IRC servers are prone to get attacked or abused for illegal activities.

[Quiky]

And even with the "downtime" from today, we still have a 99.99% uptime (Only the FinalGear servers were offline.. Phyrefile and other hosted sites remained up).

What upstream providers are being used at the Asheville DC? Their website does not go into specifics I'd really like to know more.

Thanks for that information. I tried using the CIDR report and looks their ASN doesn't give direct info about upstream providers.

Would the 5 IPs for the server be apart of the /26 that FinalGear currently has?

[PacketCollision]

Would the 5 IPs for the server be apart of the /26 that FinalGear currently has?

Yes, unless we ran out of IPs and had to get another block.

[Creed3020]

Control over rDNS I presume?

[PacketCollision]

Control over rDNS I presume?

Of course. We can handle rDNS for you, or we can delegate rDNS to the servers you specify.

[Quiky]

Or if you want, you can get your own /29 (5 usable ips), /28 (13 ips), or a /27 (28 ips), and it would not be part of our IP block/linked to FinalGear via the whois/arin lookup.

[Creed3020]

Thank you for all of the answers. A /29 would be enough and it is good to know that setting up rDNS is an option!

[argatoga]

Is anything happening with this?

[PacketCollision]

It's still an option, but nothing has been happening, because no one has been interested. If you are, we'd be more than happy to talk about it.
