JasonF Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 After the merger TP dumped colocation. Now they are offering it again. Wonder if business is bad and they have tons of free space? http://www.theplanet.com/colocation/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicToMeyeZR Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 maybe cause they don't have a history of offering good service and they need income. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Crothers Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 The Planet has always been good to me personally whenever I needed a quick development server up in less then 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if business is bad and they have tons of free space? http://www.theplanet.com/colocation/ I too noticed the other week Jason. I find this to be very interesting as there was a lot of complaints that they stopped and weeded off some of the people who were already co-located with them. @ Steve: How long have you been with TP?

Off and on, since I started getting all my hardware from ColoCrossing I haven't purchased since. I would say I've used 4 servers from them over 2 years 2006-2008. All different configurations and none of them in a business capacity. Just development work. The sales reps there lower prices to make development affordable.

jbiloh Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 We once Colo'd at The Planet, about 6 years ago. It was a miserable experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarrell Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 WHT is laced with reports of their quality of service going down, so this thread comes as no surprise to me. No personal experience with them, though, as I came to Velocity after we left TP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon|Rich Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 We once Colo'd at The Planet, about 6 years ago. It was a miserable experience. Same here. We left after they implemented the '10 server max' about 4 yrs ago. Not sure what the angle was with that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingJ Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 How ironic, I remember them advertising their own whitepaper less than a month ago shouting the evils of colocated hosting and why their rental hosting was the best thing since sliced bread Will see if I can dig it out from my downloads folder.

Creed3020 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 That would be ironic King. I hadn't visited their web page in a while and noticed it changed again. They did away with the splash page and went straight to the material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
