The server farm that currently holds the TSG servers is closing its doors. So, we need to find them a new home. Does anyone know of a good colocation facilities around Carlisle, PA or Frederick, MD (or anywhere in between)?

I can get you a good one...I just can't remember the name. I'll get it by tomorrow. It is a newer company but I know a large group that uses them.

This is one- http://www.broadbandlocators.com/colocation.php

I'll look for the other...Earth-something I think.

Thanks for the reply! It looks like that one is a little too far away (Pittsburgh/Baltimore) for me. I have a lead on one in Frederick, but it'll be nice to have some alternatives!

How much rackspace are you looking for (cabinet or cage or whatever you use)?

Wow, how soon before you're "out on the street"?

A question. Is there any possibility that you could run TSG on one of the web hosting services? I suspect not, just wondered...

Sure just get the $10 package...

The CPU and SQL limits would probably max out in about 1 day...

Guess TechGuy has a reason for wanting it close, I'd imagine moving the database and files for this site wouldn't be an easy task since it must be enormous. You can rent entire servers from a variety of hosts, last place I looked it was about $100 a month.

Servers like these don't cost $100/month.

It's actually been more cost effective for us to take care of our own servers rather than rent them. I tried moving to The Planet once (managed servers), but a week after they were supposed to be running they told me that they didn't enough space to put 5 servers in a LAN. A year later, I was glad we were running things ourselves and saving some money.

Anyway, we'll need about half a cabinet and we have 45 days to get out...

Someone here will probably know: http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=4191722
If you know how much bandwidth or power or anything else that might help.

The Planet may have been what I was referring to...I'm still looking into it.

covert215 · 03-Nov-2006, 02:12 PM **#12**

Is this one too far away?

It is the one I was referring to earlier.

Pittsburgh is about a 3 hour drive from here... I don't think that'll work. Maybe I just need to move.

Dan (our Linux guy) also recommended Xecu.net, but they haven't gotten in touch with me yet. We'll see.

brendandonhu · 03-Nov-2006, 08:47 PM **#14**

Yeah that's one of the ones listed here

covert, anyone reason why you're only showing PGH ones?

(He lives in PGH, I do too).

.....Might not not want to put them here, I think covert has an idea....

.....

You might have to get a colo in a larger city which will, of course, be farther away.
You have your own servers, as opposed to renting them, right?
