That's why I'm a big fan of Rackspace. You can get bare metal servers for heavy I/O and simultaneously have "Cloud" servers on the same local network (example: Github).
- modoc 17y agoFWIW: SoftLayer offers the same combo of dedicated servers and cloud offerings, and I prefer their turn around time, support, and pricing to RS.
- MichaelApproved 17y agoThat sounds like a good mix. I'll explore that option some more.
- mrkurt 17y agoAre you actually using this sort of service from them? When I talked to them about 2 months ago, we couldn't get anything like that since their "cloud" stuff is in a datacenter you can't currently buy dedicated servers in. In theory, they're opening another next year that may solve the problem. It's hard to tell, though, since their sales people don't seem to have any experience selling a hybrid setup. My understanding is that Github virtualizes things themselves, they're not running Rackspace cloud servers.
- z8000 17y agoAnyone have any experience with NewServers? They offer dedicated server provisioning in about 5 minutes. On paper they look great but I have not found much commentary about their product anywhere.
- vbuser 17y agoI've been hosting with them for five years (last two @ newservers). Their support is great and they even helped installing my scripts. I ordered 7 differents servers since the beginning to create farms and their load balancing mechanism is also very cool. Cheap and quality service. I'm a non-US customer, my site is a top 100 site in my country.
