host it in the dv2 datacenter

Ahh, ahh ok. Did you co-locate it there, or did you simply rent from them?

Just leased a duron box from them - one of the first I got - worked a treat

Ah, nice.

Glad it worked out for you.


In the beginning, DV2 seemed really great for everyone - but since then they have had a lot of problems unfortunately, and a lot of people have actually left them.

Although, due to that a lot of people also don't want to go to a company who has servers at DV2.

Everyone has problems - Look at NAC, dednow, burst - they used to have good reviews, then they had problems. I've been there 18 months now at DV2 - we have problems but the service is damn good for the price, and they are very helpful. I have built up a great business relationship with them.

Actually, I currently co-lo a server at NAC, and have had no problems at all, I must just be lucky.

But, those are all cheap.
Neutelligent - no problems, because they cost $$$.
Same with RackSpace, because they cost like $700 a month for 30GB bandwidth!


You pay what you get for, I'm not saint since I'm moving to RackShack and they are "cheap". But you pay for quality... now I just hope RackShack doesn't go bad on me now cause I said you get what you pay for.

From what I've heard - rackshack are good network wise - you are on your own with the server. DV2 do hold your hand sometimes...

Yeah, I know.

I'd rather be left on my own though because in the end you have to learn the ropes. I'm currently co-lo at NAC, so I've got a sysadmin to help out but I am gonna get him to teach me the ropes and maybe another one or two support reps who I'm very very good friends with so I can like fire him, lol, because he's expensive and then keep the rest of the staff.

It's good to learn it yourself... I have done that as I have gone along, and had support from fellow tech buffs and technies, but techies are expensive !

we have never had a heating problem with our durons. the only time weh ave had heating problem is when running xp in small case. durons in small case have run excellent.

we always put xp;s no in mid tower and they work great.

Ahh, very very nice there.

But it's weird how RackShack had lots of problems with their Duron's overheating, etc. when 1GHz yet DV2 didn't... strange that.

Maybe they didn't have good cooling or something, so they overheated?

I'm proof the dv2 ones worked well

Yeah, maybe, I'm not sure though. Well at least their new Dell Dual Xeon's are really great and have no heating problems at all.

Two of my servers are using AMD Atlon processors. I'm quite happy with their performance. AMD is a server grade processor - not like Celeron. They are performing just as well as some of the Intel processors on my other servers.
