I dont know about hundreds of TB of space... But I wonder how many will actually use 300GB. And the bandwidth is also 300GB so thats a very low ratio.

I always wonder whether people who get such large space actually use it all and what actually happens if they do. Most of the time, you will hit some other server resource limit first. Many hosts give such large space but then have some sort of restrictions such as you cannot use it to store files or cannot have video streaming etc etc.

I agree. Perhaps the Exabytes representative can make it clear here in this thread what are the limitation (video streaming, file storage, cpu limit)?

Any representatives of Exabytes are going to clear the doubts here?

I don't mind signing up a package IF:
1. I really get 300GB storage
2. The server is reliable: I notice there is 99.5% Server Uptime guarantee, but I don't see any SLA for this. Could you please show me the URL?
3. Maximum 300 users x 300GB storage, that makes 90TB storage on a server, would you mind telling us which motherboard are you using?

Anyway, I am a genuine buyer if I really get the confirmation from Exabytes representatives for the questions above, even I myself am a hosting provider.

For your information, I am currently sponsoring a friend who does free image hosting service (something like Imageshack.us). It is a free service hence not generating income for him but his 2 months' colocation fee in EXPAN, Singapore is already more than your 300GB Annum Fee.

At this moment he is having 1MB upload limit as his server has only 146GB SA-SCSI drive. The upload limit will be removed since you can provide 300GB space, and should he exceed the limit, I think the upgrade fee is also very affordable.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi,
Yes, I hope someone from Exabytes will answer to these questions soon.

I know the importance of web reliability. FYI, if I am subscribing to this service, it will be monitored by Hyperspin.

Thanks.

For the resources limitation, you can have a look at the section "Hosting Account Features" on the below URL for shared hosting users:

Malaysia Linux Web Hosting Plans by Exabytes

Malaysia Windows Web Hosting Plans by Exabytes

1) The client who do subscribe for 300GB, Exabytes is giving the assurance that they can use up to the size they subscribe providing that the client does not violate any of the terms and rules found here : Exabytes Malaysia // Legal Information // Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

2) I understand that you are concerned on the SLA. Exabytes only provide SLA for high specs hosting plan and not on the shared hosting environment. The 99.5% uptime is the guarantee that we provide which you may refer to our uptime guarantee at:

Exabytes Malaysia // Legal Information // Server and Network Uptime

3) All our server are using intel based motherboards which have the highest compatibility against other electronic component such as processor and memory to produce high quality performance.

Concerning about the capability on handling 300 x 300GB hosting users, Exabytes has hundred over shared hosting servers with many terabytes of disk storage available which enable us to justify to suit the environment.

Good day,
Thanks for answering the questions.

For your EBiz GOLD service, I can see that you have Max CPU of 100Mhz and Max RAM of 64MB, would you mind elaborating more on this?

CPU and RAM are the non-measurable resources of a shared server. From a client's perspective, he is unable to determine how much CPU & RAM that his account is using (or do you have a script for your clients that reflects such usage?) and how would he know whether his account has reached the maximum resources allowed?

As to the definition of Maximum, is it the maximum burstable or the maximum constant resource that this account can take over a particular time interval?

With regards to point number 2 (uptime guarantee), your web site gave me the impression that it is backed by SLA, but I think I am disappointed to know that this is only a "guarantee" that is not backed by any SLA. No offence, but any hosts can claim to guarantee 100% uptime but how many of them out there who can do it?

As for point number 3, I think you have confused yourself. From your web site, you mentioned that there are 300 hosted account per server. It is possible to support 300x300GB hosting account within a private network (with 1000mbit uplink + jumbo frame) that offers high reliability but 300 hosted account per server is a total different story.

Thank you very much for your time to answer to our questions here.

Hello,

Actually, I also interested in the package. However, I got few question also before I fully convinced.

1. Can I make the package as storage library ? I am own a camcoder and now I have about 76 tapes in my drawer. Can I upload this home made video to the server ? 1 magnetic tape is equivilent to 20GB data. Can I share these video to my friend ?

2. Backup ... do you do daily backups ? I mean let say I want backup at xx/xx/xx can you provide it ?

3. Can I purchase multiple account and fully utilize the accounts ?

I do not consent about uptime like michael do as it is for my storage library only.

Thank you,
