Well you can try a few of these sites:
http://www.rackspace.com/index.php
http://www.acsdatanet.com/linux_dedicated.html(seems to good to be true... But looks great!)
http://colocation.efreeservers.com/(actual free servers, you just pay for bandwith..)

If you decide not to go with the dedicated servers, I recommend hostmatters.com ( http://hostmatters.com/ )

That's just a few I could suggest... Im sure many more people will suggest many more companies..

Vibesolution, just a comment from me: www.roslynwebservices.com is a little bit.... eh... First my browser doesn't show anything on your entry page because I have disabled ActiveX for security reasons. Then I went to a secure box where ActiveX is anbled - and guess what? I saw the plugin offering me "do you want to use HTML or flash?". :D Don't you think you should ask the user and then start flash? Or do you really think first start flash then ask if he likes flash? :D :D

Sorry! Just use the flash version for now :)

Also, i've showed the site to many people, about 20 now and none have noticed what you have told me.

Thanks for pointing that out though :) so I can look into it. I think its a pretty nice introduction though.


Sorry for any inconvenience...

I think that Flash is not a good idea for professional website. Use HTML !

Before going with a dedicated server - You may want to just be a reseller. Many hosting companys offer good deals to resellers.

get into a good reseller program before you tackle your own server, system admin work on it can be a full time job for a newbie.

also if you do decide to get your own server to do your hosting, you will want to find a very good system admin to help.....this can cost $$$$ that will eat into your profits for a Loooong time
