Hi Tim, If that is the case; can you kindly tell me what co-location is all about. He indicated a local server, that's why I reacted so. Many thanks Victor On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 2:31 PM, Timothy Mutugi <timothymutugi@gmail.com>wrote:

@theus, ill give you my 2 cents of wisdom from past experience: *swift* <=> KDN. Bad customer service, (unresponsive is actually the word). *Wananchi *=> Basically lots of complaints about how they dont even respond. *MTN Business*: => Known theme for a while, somewhat serious on what they do (been a while since i engaged them though) but a bit pricey. *Safaricom*: => Bl@@dy CAPITALISTS, theyll probably give you a good service but youll even pay for the temperature youll increase by walking into the datacenter to swap a drive. *Access*: No Idea, never used them ever. Guess that leaves you with one of three options: 1: Sell the hardware and get yourself something pretty sitting on the cloud. 2: Set it up at your house, get Internet links from all these guys and manage it from home. 3: Use a non ISP (some of the companies mentioned here that are not selling bandwidth) cause chances are they might have a little more time and effort on offering something good...

@victor...sorry for the delay in replying... Colocation basically means : 1. buy your own server 2. configure it to do what you want it to do (e.g. a web server.) 3. physically take it to the colocation service provider. 4. the provider then plugs your server into a power outlet and hooks it up to the net.

If I can answer based on what I have used--KDN co-location services are excellent. What you need mostly in a data centre is to be able to reach your servers or whatever you are hosting, and their uptime has been very impressive. For the few downtimes experienced, the response is fast. ps: I have bashed KDN many times before for their customer service and responsiveness on link related issues, but I give them 4.5/5 stars on data centre. I have not used the rest. On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 9:28 PM, [ Brainiac ] <arebacollins@gmail.com>wrote:

Guess that leaves you with one of three options:
1: Sell the hardware and get yourself something pretty sitting on the cloud. 2: Set it up at your house, get Internet links from all these guys and manage it from home. 3: Use a non ISP (some of the companies mentioned here that are not selling bandwidth) cause chances are they might have a little more time and effort on offering something good...

Well, we have all had issues with KDN, and we continue to. But lets give them credit when it is occasionally due..maybe it might drive them to change a bit. On Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 4:32 PM, [ Brainiac ] <arebacollins@gmail.com>wrote:

yeah, that was the intent of my discourse. No ill intentions.... so, back to the issues, pricing. cause the last pricing i remember is three or so years ago and it was somewhere in the range of 1200USD a month. your own hardware. as i said, that was a while back.....

Well, we have all had issues with KDN, and we continue to. But lets give them credit when it is occasionally due..maybe it might drive them to change a bit.

Collins, my comments are purely technical. I'm sure marketing@kdn would love to help you out on the pricing, though I suspect you should contact them first :)
Interesting you commented on swift/KDN yet you have never used them.

@george could you comment about pricing? (i asked for this ages ago and im still waiting...) -> you can use the 5 point grading on that too...

If I can answer based on what I have used--KDN co-location services are excellent. What you need mostly in a data centre is to be able to reach your servers or whatever you are hosting, and their uptime has been very impressive. For the few downtimes experienced, the response is fast.
ps: I have bashed KDN many times before for their customer service and responsiveness on link related issues, but I give them 4.5/5 stars on data centre.
I have not used the rest.

Guess that leaves you with one of three options:
1: Sell the hardware and get yourself something pretty sitting on the cloud. 2: Set it up at your house, get Internet links from all these guys and manage it from home. 3: Use a non ISP (some of the companies mentioned here that are not selling bandwidth) cause chances are they might have a little more time and effort on offering something good...
My 2 cnts.
