Dear all,

I am looking for a company to configure a server for me. Because I am going to put that server in colocation. Can anyone recommand a company for me? Thanks a lot.

I say this a lot. Check out ebay. First look around though, see your options and your prices at retail. On ebay they have a lot, for cheaper, some used some not even opened.

Don't bother with them. They've exited the hardware business and the inventory that they were selling off appears to be gone (nowhere to buy servers on their site anymore).

It really depends on what you are going to do with the server, how many accounts your want to have, if you are going to offer databases, etc.

Are you going to run linux, NT, unix?

all those things mean something before you select yoru server.
