Greetings Jim:

Most of the server administration companies on WHT are reputable from what I hear.

Your best bet is to come up with an explicit list of your needs including hours of availability, expected response time, specific expertise needed, etc. and then ask each one.

Some where in your process, you should look at your budget, and ask if your budget is realistic to your expectations. What if you had to hire in-house one or more persons (more depending on shift requirements)? What would that cost?

Then you have a point of comparison.

In terms of recommendations, ask for references. Those providers that have been in business for several years, should be able to give you a number of references.

Then be sure to call each reference.

Thank you.
