Dear all,

I am looking a host which can allow me to run linux dedicated server. The bandwidth is aound 150 GB to 200 GB per month. So the bandwidth cost must be cheaped. Any suggestion? IS efreeservers.com a good choice?

I am currently using rackspace.com, they are very good but I think they are little bit expensive. So I want to change to a cheaper host.

have you tried negotiating with rackspace for a better price. The first thing to do is find another competitor that offers pretty much the same system for the same price then ask them to match it. For example linuxwebnet.com offers a basic system with 50gigs bandwidth per month for like $160 a month but then they charge $2 per gig if you go over 50gigs. So I don't know find a competitor try and get them to match the price.

www.*****.com offers co-location for $200/month with 400gb/transfer ... I wish to use them in the future but I must get a server first ;)

EDIT: Hmm, well that is strange. E-mail me at thirdwatch430@home.com if you want to know the site.

Gotta love 50 cent per Gig bandwidth!

Maybe they're using Cogent? :rolleyes:
