hi i have been lurking around here for a few weeks and decided to register as well.

i just found out Catalog.com is having a special at http://servers.catalog.com/cobalt.htm

RaQ3, 128MB RAM, 13.6GB hard drive, 50GB/month transfer, 4IPs, Apache, $255 per month

RaQ3, 256MB RAM, 15.3GB hard drive, 100GB/month transfer, 4IPs, Apache, $275 per month

RaQ3, 512MB RAM, 20.5GB hard drive, 100GB/month transfer, 4IPs, Apache, $330 per month

I am seriously considering the

RaQ3, 256MB RAM, 15.3GB hard drive, 100GB/month transfer, 4IPs, Apache, $275 per month

4 ips? That's not many. Anyone seriously considering hosting should be looking to avoid name-based hosting which is what 4 will force you to do. Search engines pretty much require a unique ip anymore and if your sites can't get listed, they'll leave. Dedicated server for 1-4 sites it isn't a bad deal.

thanks, since i missed the special I decided that a Linux machine at Rackspace would be better using Webmin - just have to learn how to use it...

i'd be purchasing extra IPs where ever I go since i have 24 domains to get on it..

I was first thinking about getting a RaQ at catalog.com, but after reading a quite interesting discussion about the pro's & con's of a RaQ, I'm tending to get a Linux box rather than a RaQ (still at catalog.com). It's not much more expensive, but you've got a standard Linux distribution, and with WebMin as admin interface...

yeah, my only problem is after exchanging emails with catalog.com about the Raq3 for a few days, all emails stop and there was no reply to my emails.

If they can't even bother to reply for any reason then i hate to see what happens when i sign up...

Digitalnation and Rackspace i have emailed then numerous times over 6 months just asking questions and stuff when they arise and they have always gotten back to me within days.

If Catalog.com would of replied to my last email of questions i would of signed up with them straight after the email !

Lucky i didn't rush into it.

I had no luck with them, I was also interested in a server but their replies were slow, that teels me what interest they have on new customers. Also, 4 ip's is not many, check their prices on more ip;s and bandwidth.

I finally got my server from Dialtone Internet as I heard good thing about them, they offer an interface and don't charge for ip's. Support from 1 to 10 a 7 as they have a ticket program and I like to talk to liver people...

I'm hosting my website with catalog.com. Those guys have always provided top notch service to me, and have always responded within the hour to my e-mails.
