Another year another fund raising drive

[PAugustin]

Hi speed seems OK from France.
I won't be able to help with money this month. Probably in a month or two

[tutkija]

What is needed from server to host MURC. Could you give some numbers, traffic/day/month, etc.

[ZokesPro]

I cannot connect to it at all.

BUT!!! I will donate again, I love MURC too much to see it go.

[dbdg]

Yeah just out of interest what sort of bandwidth do you guys get through.

On the helping will be able to in a couple of weeks, end of the month, been umemployed for three months and I've only had a job for the last three weeks, loads of debts.

Don't know what Japan's got

but have you considered these guys?

The service is good (personal experience /w shared server only - surpringly not as bad as you might think).

Just a Suggestion.

From UK (BT ADSL), it's 29 hops and returns a ping of 290ish. Pretty lame by todays standards I'd say.

From memory of last year, MURC needed a hefty hosting package. I cannot remember the exact details but it was multi-GB/month bandwidth and around 1GB disk space. This might be very wrong now tho! There are lots of hosting packages but not many that can cover MURCs usage still at a reasonable cost.

If it (bandwidth) remains under 10GB/month i could help

[Reckless]

It's a little hazy, but I think Ant was measuring around the 10GB/month mark when the Parhelia hype started. I'm sure normal traffic is much much lower these days

What kind of pings you get from www.nebula.fi ,state your location also.

[dbdg]

Can't imagine the bandwidth req is too high, I run a heavy graphics related site including anims for download and I only get through 40GB per month.

[Reckless]

I'v already said I'm in the UK Connected via ADSL supplied by the telco BT.

Average ping is 63 with 17+ hops (+ as the destination is not allowing itself to be traced). From those hops, it takes 10 to get from my PC out the Internet (i.e. past mine and all of BT's routers!!).

Ping to that site looks very stable

Yeah, i know where you Reckless are from , but was also inviting other people to try this location. I have two sites running under Nebula (situated in Finland) and both have 10GB/month limit (you can change limit monthly if you want to) and my ftp connection to their server is on average 300kb/s. Yearly cost is about 400€. What are prices on UK?
(and i have been here at MURC from the start despite what my number of posts say)

[Reckless]

That price sounds good when compared to the UK. The US hosting 'deals' available look to as good as that.

I've been around [here] since the days of the G200 (wasn't that url picked up by a Pron search engine?) but my main card is now no longer a Matrox unit I use a GF4 for my 'modern-ish' games. It's got an overheating fault (5 mins in UT causes wavey lines!) so it's not a great card. Well, it beat spending 480Euros on a Parhelia anyways!

Back on subject - deal looks like a good-un. I know Ant was price and feature concious when I talked about it with him.

[dbdg]

UK prices suck, even though I am in the UK I rent a dedicated server in the US.

Cost for me at the moment is $149 per month.

[Sasq]

Ok, I've answered in another thread sort of, I'll be a little more direct here.

Time for a dedicated box - one that I have root access too - Even if that box is shared a little to cut down costs, it still beats the current shared server with 40+ clients.

Tutkija, if murc was 10Gb a month, I'd be running it off of my soho DSL line, times it by about 3 and your looking at our comfortable margin - plus We have a few things underway that might help MURC grow a little bit, so we need room to move.

The server I'm looking at doesn't have a bandwidth limit, and the actual speed is compareable to what we have at burst now.

dbdg - ow, too much - msg me.
