Primcast LLC · New York · established 2004
We rent whole physical servers by the month, on a port nobody meters. The oldest account still running was opened in June 2005. That is the argument.
The register
The ledger
Everything below has been true for as long as there has been a Primcast. Each line carries the thing that proves it.
On hardware
A warm standby spends its entire life idle. A staging box has to mirror production, not beat it. A secondary nameserver just has to exist, in a second city, permanently. A database bound by a per-core license gets cheaper on fewer, faster cores, not more of them.
None of that work is improved by a processor released this year. It is improved by the machine being there, being whole, being on a port that never bills you a surprise, and costing the same next year as it does this one.
So we keep the older lines racked, priced honestly, and we say so on the page rather than hiding them behind the one server with the biggest number on it.

Primcast, in the fewest words that are still true
Primcast LLC is a hosting company founded in 2004 and based in New York, with a second office in Bucharest. It rents whole physical servers by the month — every core, all the memory, all the disks, root access and a remote console, with nobody else on the machine. Radio, video, video on demand and CDN are a product line that runs on those servers; the servers are the business.
No. One physical machine, one tenant. Nothing is oversubscribed, there is no steal time, and no neighbor can take your throughput. What you measure on the first day is what you keep.
No contract. One month is the default term and there is no minimum beyond it. Setup is free on every dedicated line except the entry machine, which carries a one-time thirteen dollars. Paying for longer up front is optional and takes a discount off the monthly.
That nothing counts your traffic, in either direction, at any port speed — so there is no allowance to exceed and no overage line on any invoice. Every server includes 500 Mbps or 1 Gbps depending on the line, and the port can be raised for a flat monthly amount. What each step costs.
A person, on live chat, at any hour. Every server also exposes its own management controller — HPE iLO or Dell iDRAC — so you can take the console, mount an image and power-cycle the machine yourself without waiting for anyone. Faster contractual response times are a priced option. Response tiers · Contact
