Greetings WHT Addicts and Passerbys,

Site5 is pleased to announce the launch of it's 3000 Series Dedicated Servers. Now with 15 different dedicated server plans in 4 product lines, we have a dedicated solution to meet everyone's needs.

Starting at only $199/month, these servers come jam-packed with features, including the full Cpanel/WHM server management system, and the opportunity to use our exclusive Billing Automation Software - BillAdmin (http://www.billadmin.com/).

Site5's servers are currently located inside the Network Access (NAC) data center and has connections to more than a dozen national backbones. Click here to view a Network Map (http://www.nac.net/map.asp).

All Site5 dedicated servers are custom built from top-quality, name-brand hardware upon receiving your order. We do not reuse/recycle old servers.

If you are interested in a UNIX-based OS other than RedHat, we are more than willing to install it for you. We support most common server operating systems including FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Debian (Cpanel/WHM may not be available).

matt,

these new plans provide us with the exact mix of what many of us have been looking for:

1) many options to choose from (15)

2) lower (more affordable) prices

3) excellent client support (far under 24 hour responses)

4) non alabanza & non VDI option (NAC)

WAY TO GO SITE5.COM !!!

Ok but do you mind telling us why you are asking a lot of money for IP adresses that are free to get ???

For me that was the reason for not choosing you as a host for example :-(

Hi Domenico,

I'm glad to hear that you considered Site5.com for your dedicated hosting needs!

With regards to your question, IP addresses are not necessarily free. There is a yearly fee for IP addresses, which most providers choose to pass on to their clients. We have found that $5/10 IP's ($0.50/IP) is pretty close to industry standard, if not, below (for example, RackSpace charges $2.00/month per IP).

If you need a large number of IP addresses, we can most certainly work with you on this. If you are interested in a custom dedicated server quote with a larger IP address allocation, by all means drop me an email at mlightner@site5.com and I'll do everything I can to help you out.

Nate: Thanks for the comments; we appreciate them!

Best Regards,

Because a) IP addresses are not free and b) they aren't charging that much for them, really. I've seen them as low as nothing ("as many IPs as you want, for nothing", but their base price makes up for it) to $5 each (at a bargain basement place that I won't name and would never use). Most places charge between 0.25 and 1.00 each. 0.50 is pretty reasonable.

Just a suggestion but you might want to have some sort of javascript calculator so people can "build" their own setup or add onto a server.. This just seems the next logical step :)

I know what you mean; those server customization systems are great fun. ;)

We have a completely new site and service line planned for launch late August. With the launch of our new product lines, we will include a dedicated server instant quote system for customers whose needs do not match one of our current plans.

In the meantime, anyone seeking a special setup on a dedicate server is free to email us for a custom quote.
