UK-based Dedicated Server Needed

**Turnic** · 22nd August 2005

Hi,

We need a UK-based dedicated server. Main characteristics of it as follows:

- Unix,
- P4,
- 1 GB RAM,
- Normal Hard Disk space,
- High quality Bandwith,
- Very low ping
- 24/7 support

The reason we need this server is to run a script creates emails coupled with Qmail. The main performance criteria here is the scripts query rate and the time in which the emails created by the scripts quit the server. If the server location is close to Oxford that would be better.

Thus, we will first run the script on a test server you will supply to us, then evaluate its performance and if we think it is ok then we will order the server tested.

Our bugdet is GBP100-110 per month including everything.

So if you think you can supply our demand please send me a PM or reply me at serdincyilmaz@hotmail.com

Again no reseller account or no shared hosting. We are investing really serious amount to our project so we need a reliable partner in dedicated hosting.

Thank you for reading.
Serdinc

Hello Serdinc,

Thank you for the offers.

I think it is better to clear a few things. We are going to use the server to send pgp-signed emails coupled with Qmail to Nominet's automaton to register .co.uk domains. We are not dealing with any kind of spam or opt-in or opt-out or whatever emails. We are going to use it for a legitimate purpose. However, we do not want any kind of spam measure to stop us when we need to send a few, say 5 or so emails in a very very short intervals like 10 ms.

We are now with a dedicated server who gave us alot of headache since our application was running good but now stopped and giving errors. That is why we first want to run the script.

I understand it is alittle hard to give a full test server. Then I want a full refund in case the script does not work properly.

I am increaing my budget to GBP130.

Now please offer us a server who has the

- lowest latency
- highest and quality bandwith in the UK
- And let us test the script we have,

When I say above things I am really serious.
Please reply me with PM after this.

Thanks
Serdinc

- lowest latency

surely that would depend on your clients location....?

**Turnic** · 23rd August 2005

As I said we have a script running in shell who send emails to Nominet, whose servers are located in Oxford. Is this helpful enough?

Hi Serdinc

There is no need to increase your budget to achieve high performance! See my offer above for a 2.8GHz P4 server at £49/month! We would also be happy to offer you a full refund after the first month if you were not happy with any part of the service offered, provided the server has not been abused.

Email to the nominet.org.uk domain goes via mx3 and mx4.nominet.org.uk. These servers do not ping directly, but I have included some route traces below. You can check these for yourself by using the traceroute tool at http://netrino.co.uk/tools. We see Nominet through a peer at XPE so there are is only one AS jump between the networks which gives excellent latency.

traceroute to mx4.nominet.org.uk (213.248.199.24), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
1 rb-sov-edge.netrino.co.uk (84.234.19.2) 0.379 ms 0.283 ms 0.329 ms
2 fe1-2-nom-col1.nominet.org.uk (217.79.160.112) 0.915 ms 0.820 ms 1.196 ms
