I have done a fair bit of work on this so can offer some advice: Do NOT use unitedcolo.com - despite offering debian on their home page I found them to be extremely unsatisfactory. Yes in 20/20 hindsite the bandwidth and pricing on their page looks to good to be true, but most non-Australian

The economy is not particularly good right now and many Debian developers don't have as much work as they would like. Maybe this is a good business opportunity for a group of Debian developers in a place such as the Netherlands, Germany, or the US. There is reasonable profit in hiring hosting

Maybe this is a good business opportunity for a group of Debian developers in a place such as the Netherlands, Germany, or the US. There is reasonable profit in hiring hosting space by the rack and renting it out by the 1U. Do have experience with this business model elsewhere? I believe

I suggest starting by reselling 1U spaces at a slight premium for the Debian support, and making an agreement with the ISP that you can convert your customers into a rack at some point. It doesn't hurt an ISP to offer it if they have the capability. I know a debian friendly ISP that I can pitch

Hi Frode, We use the SWsoft Linux virtualization software. The vserver project looks interesting as well, but like you, I've only tried out UML. The major block for us not using UML is that UML servers have a hard limit on the amount of RAM available. Our solution is more flexible, and RAM is

Yes, Germany is in these days connected with best connections to various international backbones all over the world. If you choose a good connection here you can't expect the 500 GB for 1$-offers some companies in the US might give you - but who cares about cheap when: - server is done

Debian Co-location in USA

2003-07-14 Thread Jeremy Lunn
One of my clients is looking into hosting a server in the USA, since it costs much less than doing it here in Australia. The problem is that most hosting companies only tend to supply Red Hat. We'll need a machine with a very basic base install of Debian, obviously along with networking and ssh.
