Roller NetworkWe’re now including the serial console option for free on our dedicated servers. Previously this option was an additional $10, but we decided to just include it as a value added service rather than charge extra for it.
The serial console option allows access to BOIS and pre-boot settings, and in conjunction with a switched outlet (also included at no extra cost), provides a comprehensive suite of remote management options.
For the month of February 2011 we’re offering free install (a $99 value) for all new colocations in shared space up to 10U. Shared space colocation includes:
All colocations include routed subnets: both IPv4 (/29 minimum) and IPv6 standard.
Effective July 1, 2010, VeriSign has increased the pricing for .com and .net registrations. As such, our new prices for these domains will be:
.com $11.60 .net $9.50
Only these two VeriSign TLDs are affected. All others remain unchanged.
AT&T arrived this morning to pull the fiber. The next step is for for splicer to come out.
AT&T is working at the last manhole in our parking lot today, so we’re guessing they’re going to be getting to our telco room shortly.
AT&T came over to terminate the fiber in our telco room, but apparently a subcontractor was supposed to have already placed a rack for them, which didn’t happen. After a few calls it was determined they will be here on Tuesday, Feb. 16 Wednesday, Feb. 17. (The date was moved back on Feb. 12.)
The building we’re in was already lit with Verizon fiber, but we ended up having to accelerate our plans to install a secondary fiber entrance for an AT&T loop due to the continuing delays with Verizon. This time it involves some road construction.
Ultimately this is a benefit for everyone because we have two independent fiber loops, but we had originally planned to start accepting new colocation and hosting customers last year. The next step is for AT&T to pull their fiber.
