I've seen some familiar names here (eva2000 - your sig is so short here :D) - I seem to be following some of you around from forum to forum :).

Here's my deal - I've asked on other forums to no avail if anyone could provide me with a link to a site that is hosted on a Site5.com dedicated server. Especially one that is running a medium/large vBulletin. I'm beginning to think that Matt's just trying to confuse us all by selling dedicated servers - but he doesn't actually have any customers ;).

If a link could be posted here (or PM'd or emailed) along with the server specs that the site is running on, I'd appreciate it :).

Many thanks!

I think Annette of HostMatters.com has at least a box with Site5, she might have some sites running on it that you could test. You might want to drop her a message; she'd probably post a reply here soon anyways. :)

I currently have a dedicate server (actually colocation) with site5, which is in the Nac.net server room.

I can tell you that I've had nothing but excellent support from site5 the whole way through getting my machine online. Vince & Matt have always promptly anwsered all of my questions and addressed the issues quickly. Not to meantion they are friendly, which makes it a pleasure to do business with.

The server room is also very fast, you can access my machine by visiting my site (in my signature). It is a Dell PowerApp with 1 GB RAM, 2 scsi160 10,000 rpm drives and dual 866mhz processors.

Hope that helps. they also have a page up now on the site5.com site with the colocation pricing, they gave us a really good deal!

I haven't tried it with win2k at all. Although I'm sure it would run fine *cough* as well as can be expected with windows.

Hi Ckizer, I love the look and design of your site. Nice job with the graphics too. Everything works well together. Looks good.

holly cow....

i know this is not the 'review my site' forum, but man... this is excellent

anyway... i have been dealing with matt directly for a deidcated box and he has been completely helpfull !

i have done many network test (NAC.net) at various times each day and it appears to be very fast indeed... all looks well at site5.com!

hope this helps

Jim, Host Coalition (at http://www.hostcoalition.org) is on a box at NAC/Site5, and consists solely of a vB forum. However, most of the postings are in the host-only areas, so I'm afraid that might not be much use to you if you were intending to blast through seeing how things load. The site http://www.technogirl.net is also over there, and utilizes a phpNuke front end, so that might give you a bit of insight as to how quickly things can move when they're calling to a database for content.

Wow, Annette, that is damn fast! Server specs?

Nothing major: PIII 800/512M. But we like to keep server loads incredibly low. Something I learned in the corporate world trying to keep IIS/SQL farms running optimally.
