Hi Shamil I believe they offer all of the three common scenarios: 1. Hosted in a shared environment (virtual) where you cannot install anything special 2. Hosting of a dedicated server provided by you or your client, installed as you like 3. Hosting of a dedicated server supplied by Verinet for your exclusive use, remotely installed by you I'll ask when my contact replies about your options. And yes, that is the exchange rate. /gustav >>> shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru 07-10-2009 15:31 >>> Gustav, Yes, I see: <<< PRISLISTE SERVER-HOSTING, COLOCATION, MICROSOFT HOSTING, LINUX HOSTING, CMS HOSTING M.V. SCT.PETERSBURG, RUSSIA / 1 Unit / 225 >>> Does this mean one custom PC server box co-located with their servers somewhere here in SPb? Should in such a case server box be purchased by the customers themselves or they (Verinet) provide this PC server box free when their service purchased? Not sure what currency is used in their service pricelist - is that: 225 Danish Krone = 44.51576 US Dollar (On Wednesday, October 7, 2009) per month?

Hi Shamil Yes I could do that. Bandwidth is really no problem for Verinet as they are housed at the DIX (Danish Internet Exchange). However, they have a co-hosting facility right in St. Petersborg: http://www.verinet.dk/server-hosting.htm I'll ask my contact what facility would be best for you. They are also present in Sweden where power charges are much lower than here. /gustav >>> shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru 06-10-2009 20:32 >>> Hi Gustav, Thank you for your feedback. Does http://www.verinet.dk/serverhosting.htm have some information in English for me to understand the options they have? <<< It could be interesting to see what solution your client decides for. >>> OK, this is a start-up - the traffic I mentioned is planned to be in the future, hopefully, next spring/summer, but you know... Let's see how it will evolve, and if it will evolve successfully I will write about their web site and solution here... <<< I could arrange for a specified offer if you are interested. >>> Thank you. Do you mean you can request http://www.verinet.dk/serverhosting.htm for a free quote of their service costs for planned by my customer MS Windows, ASP.NET, MS SQL Server + large (500GB) disk space hosting?

Hi Shamil One option is AWS, though the cost could be more the USD 300/month if you need more CPU power. However, you can scale the CPU up and down during the day or week: http://aws.amazon.com/windows/ For a "Large instance" (7.5 GB of memory, 4 EC2 Compute Units (2 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each), 850 GB of instance storage, 64-bit platform) cost would be about USD 457/month including traffic (an power): http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html Another option - at least here - is Verinet, a major player: http://www.verinet.dk/serverhosting.htm who offers top-speed transfer at very low cost. Also, they offer to deliver dedicated hardware at prices not even the distributors can compete with: http://www.verinet.dk/rackhosting-serverhosting-rackserver.htm I could arrange for a specified offer if you are interested. It could be interesting to see what solution your client decides for. /gustav >>> shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru 06-10-2009 12:43 >>> Hi All, I'm working here on an ASP.NET project (real estate related), which potentially could get allocated 500GB of hard disk space, and could have 200-400GB traffic per month: this site is planned to store pictures and video clips. I'm wondering what hosting option is the most appropriate (/less expensive) for such an application? I guess that should be a physical PC (or even two - second as a media stream server) installed on ISP side, or are there any virtual hosting available for ASP.NET application under development, which will cost within, say, USD300/month for 500GB disk space and 200-400GB of traffic per month? I thought I could "split" my application to have program and database part running on relatively inexpensive ASP.NET hosting site, and pictures and video clips stored on another (virtual) server, and uploaded and downloaded/transmitted from there - AFAIU in that latter case of using a separate server for pictures/videos the traffic for their transmission to the user will not be accounted as part of traffic of my ASP.NET site? Thank you. -- Shamil
