I just ordered a server :D and i have a question...

[donvito]

What tools do you guys use to monitor the bandwidth? I was thinking about setting up Cacti - but I don't want to install Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc. I guess I could run Apache with MRTG?

great question start, i was also wondering this...


ALSO, will the week setup time be included in my "month" of payment?

LW have a "self service center" where you can view all your bills, change RDNS for each IP and view traffic graphs for each server.

It definitely won't take a week.....I ordered mine at noon EST and had my login the next morning. If you ordered one of their stock servers it shouldn't take more than a few days.

Speed depends on which bandwidth package you ordered. They offer "non-burstable" flat-fee packages which are unmetered but the actual speed is limited to either 5, 10 or 100Mbps up/down at any given time. The other package is fully burstable up to 100Mbps but is limited to the monthly bandwidth traffic purchased (500GB, 1000GB or 2000GB).

I have a 10Mbps unmetered package but it's rarely limited to 10Mbps. I've seen upload and download speeds combined max out at 3100 Kilobytes/s or approx 25Megabits/second. Good luck!

UPDATE:
got my server from vectoral setup a few hours ago!

i dont know if it was because i contacted them and kept asking when it was going to be up, or what, but im surprised it was up this fast.
