Server Colocation

World Class Facility and Bandwidth

MacServe.net provides your company with colocation facilities that are second to none. Our colocation space is in the highly secure and exceptionally well engineered Equinix IBX located at the InfoMart in Dallas.

Bandwidth for MacServe.net and it's colocation customers is provided by InterNAP, the premier provider of "NAP-less" and smart routing technology for Internet traffic. InterNAP is widely recognized as having the best IP transit available to speed your packets onto their destination. We utilize 2 full-duplex 100Mbit links into InterNAP, so whatever your data needs are, we can support.

All colocation plans come with up to 1 hour a month of hands-on support. All additional support is charged at an hourly rate of $100 billed in 15 minute increments.

You can send us your own fully configured box or we can procure and setup a server for your colocation service for a nominal fee. If you have upgrades for existing servers, we can also purchase additional RAM, hard drives or other items, test and install them, and we will add these to your bill that month.

Server leasing and fully managed hosting services are also available. Please call 972-200-5078 or email us to arrange a quote.

Bandwidth Notes

Bandwidth is metered using industry standard 95th Percentile measurements taken every 5 minutes on your switch port. If you have mulitple boxes, we can set up your bandwidth allotment to be shared amongst your servers.

Some anecdotal bandwidth numbers:
1. One of our web hosting servers has about 60-70K hits a day and normally pushes about 1.25 GByte of data per day. Equal to about 38 GBytes of data per month.

2. Our server that does nothing other than provide Primary DNS Service for about 500 domains uses around 10-12 Kbits/sec on a pretty consistent basis 24/7. Equal to about 3-4 GBytes/ month.

Your server(s) can be connected to our switches using either a 10Mbit or 100Mbit link. If you are connected to a 100Mbit port, the good news is that your server can burst up to 100Mbits. The bad news is that your server can burst up to 100Mbits, and this could very easily cause your metered usage to go way past what you normally pay.

In most cases, you will want a 10Mbit port to limit your exposure to these bursts. We have some customers who have multiple servers that they connect into a simple 10/100 switch. That switch is then uplinked to a 10Mbit port on our switch. This gives them max throughput between their own boxes, but limits their bursting to the Internet to 10Mbits/sec.
