Questions Re. Dedicated Servers

[TriEnt]

I've just come back to the TCH forums and it looks like dedicated servers are getting sold again. That can only be good news.. I have a few domains hosted here (small stuff), but knowing the great TCH services I was thinking about moving a bigger site which is currently hosted with another provider in France (OVH).

 

I'm trying to compare the two service plans but they look to have different parameters. For example, while I know that with OVH the bandwidth is at somewhere around 60 mbps (average download speed is 1-2 MBps), TCH doesn't provide any figure (or it's me who couldn't find one). On the other hand, with OVH we don't have any traffic limit (strange, but again - no mention anywhere about such), while with TCH there is a listed limit of 600 GB. Comments please?

 

Then, since I am thinking about a fully unmanaged server, the second question (and actually the main reason for moving from OVH) is whether we can have our own choice of Linux distro installed - particularly, Gentoo.

 

I've been having an outstanding experience with TCH support so far, so I'd presume that helping with an installation from scratch would not be impossible (we could supply a preconfigured image, or something similar that can get the machine up and running minimally - and then do the rest of the setup remotely). Would something like this be possible?

 

TIA,

Lucian

I don't know if you know this but TCH has opened Europen servers. I don't know if dedicated servers are available there. I think this is a question for the head guru or staff. That French site would be better off hosted there than here for faster loading times.

Hello,

 

All our servers are on 100MBPS ports. This means you can burst in/out traffic up to 100mbps.

 

Currently we only offer the following Linux Bistros;

 

RH 9

CentOS

RHEL

Windows 2000 Server (additional cost does apply).

 

We are not offering resold dedicated servers in our UK DC as of yet. The US Dollar is simply to weak at the moment.
