XenServ's Frequently asked questions
Q. Dedicated servers, vps's, colocation?
A.
XenServ is looking to soon provide more readily available dedicated servers, we have some clients with high scale sites and odd setups which cannot use traditional shared hosting. We would prefer to host most dynamic sites on our shared systems, the larger they get the speedier & more burst-ability for every site. VPS's we plan to soon provide, we are working towards an extremely reliable, high storage and memory virtual servers unlike most competitors - we will announce when they are available.
Q. What type of systems do you run?
A.
XenServ runs various systems but tries to have them less than 50-75% utilized. As soon as possible a new system will take over. It's a constant game with power but a old dual opteron can perform perfect for quite a few sites, some require quad core boxes. We do not have a preference to Intel or AMD systems however we are sporting some HP boxes.
Q. What bandwidth does XenServ use?
A.
AGL Mzima Networks Level3 ELI SRP XO HighWinds and more, XenServ soon plans to provide cogent only basic bandwidth for lower cost in the future.
Q. What is XenServ's max throughput (Do we have 10mbit/100mbit, etc?)
A.
XenServ currently has 2 x GigE uplinks to our datacenter which has multi-homed bandwidth over the above providers.
We rate limit however, the reasons for gigabit is for burstability. Depending on your location expect any service on our network to nearly max your internet.
