any one else have hosting.ie 1gig dedicated server??

ok i have just got myself a Dedicated Rabtor Pro Lin 877 - Renaissance GB and want abit of input from other hosting.ie users
now the one i have just got has a 1 gig line and is running windows web server 2008
now i asked for RAID 0 in my set up and never got it and i see they have removed the RAID option from this anyone know why??
now i downloaded a film to check it out and hit speeds of 24 MB/s but not for long im a uploader on another site and i dont seem to be getting great speeds when other seeds connect to me and i know for a fact that most of them have great boxes is it because im running windows? i dont have know more then 5 torrents running at anyone time and my server has good specs:

Intel Core2 Duo 2x1,8
2x320 GB of HDD disk
2 GB of RAM
Traffic-Unlimited (guaranteed)

any input would be great
thanks alot

Hmm strange

did you pay for RAID and they remove it ?

as far I hear they usually are the only one hosting provider who gives extras for free, not takes them away :) there must be a reason I suppose

You need raid to get good speed on a gbit server with windows.

Well it had RAID on the website when i payed for it and looking at it now its been removed i sent them a email and they said my server has not got it and to add it to windows would cost me more money :(
now im thinking of trying linux and hope they can add RAID on there for free
i have to pay 19 euros for a install

You must use linux with Gb servers, he performance difference is astonishment. Linux give us better performance than Windows. Hosting-IE servers are not very powerful in their cheaper versions. Your server reach higher speeds have a better management of the operating system ;)

Very strange, I assume you have a bill showing all the details of the server, like Raid don't you ?

Yes it says it on my bill and it was also on the website and now its been removed
i have asked for linux ubuntu so i hope when its all set up i will be getting better speeds for longer :)

see if the IDE drivers are causing a bottleneck..

you can check the performance stats.

if they are upgrade the ide/chipset (south bridge) drivers. many times you will see a good improvement.

but yeah fully utilizing a gbit is hard unless you have lots of good speed leechers.

Maybe I should be trying linux too...

That's Good. Please let me know how it goes with Linux.

If you see drastic differences i might switch myself.
