Dear WebHostingTalk Visitors,

I am looking to buy at least 4 servers with such configuration:

dual xeon
1 gb ram
_minimum 1000GB BW for each_

Rackshack has exactly this and they offer it for $264/month or someting like that (below $300 actually) and I have already ordered 10 during last months... But already a week no servers avialable there, they are sold out :)

The question is does anyone know any good alternative? :)

The main aspects described before, but here is some advantages that will be cool :)

1) Instant setup (just kidding, but rackshack do :)
2) APC Reboot (Such thing as Server4You has will be great too.. :)
3) Good support :)
4) Resellers discounts :)

Thx for any suggestions! :)

I guess at those specs and prices, you can try www.nocster.com

hmmm really interesting! :) thx a lot, i was looking for that! will order 2 and we'll see :) will post my review here :)

Hmm actually they have quite high setup prices, but ok :)

More suggestions?

well if you stay a few months, you will easily recoup it from the lower monthly fees, and in recent months, they seem to be earning rave reviews (save the slow setup timeS)

No, it's okay :) I just want to compare :) Or only two? Nocster & Rackshack? :)

Buy them via a Nocster reseller, you might be able to knock about20% off the setup and montly fees if the reseller doesn't maintain too much of a margin.

There was even something posted here that large volume resellers can get up to 50% off the setup fee, though I don't know how much truth is behind that.

xAngelx is selling that server for a discounted setup and monthly price at http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=185597

You can also check with MainArea to see what they can do. Both are Nocster resellers.

Wouldnt go for a reseller tbh - ive seen storys of resllers not paying bills etc.. and svrs being shut down.

Check out servermatrix.net/theplanet.net - heard some good stuff about them.

That's why I suggested xAngelx and MainArea because they are well regarded Nocster resellers. I also recommend ServerMatrix/ThePlanet. I have servers with both.

Servernatrix has Xeons and when you add 512 MB (to get 1 gb of ram) and cpanel with 750 GB they cost 270 $

Yes, their upgrade fees are horrible. I would only purchase another server from there if the base specs met my needs.

:)

Gnax/Dv2/Tranxactglobal has what you are looking for including WHM/CPanel at $299 with no setup. Excellent deal and excellent service.

Check out http://www.velcom.com/

that looks like a rackshack reseller... screw that :-p

I think Nocster is a good alternative. You might be able to find an even better deal through a reputable Nocster reseller like Mainarea.

Hi Kivin,

I just noticed that Superb Servers (http://www.superbservers.net) is now offering dual Xeon 2.4 GHz servers with 1 GB registered DDR, 2x 80 GB HDs and 1000 GB/month. It sounds right up your alley =) I'd highly recommend them. I've had a server there for a while, and it's been stable and very good performing. Their extensive peering is what mainly convinced me.

Hope this helps...

Its not a RexT resller, if you check IP Blocks and so forth you can see very easily its not a Rackshack reseller.

they have their own connectivity and they reside in a new york with carriers from mfn, C&W, XO Comm, William Communications and others.
