View Full Version : Loking for Dedicated servers
pando 09-25-2000, 06:22 PM hello,
we loking for a god dedicated service. It scould have an acceptable price and scould give web control to admain the server and setup new domains. There scould be a very low cost for new IP adresses and scould also have the possibilities to give web control also to our customers.
Servers can be (better ) Unix/linux or NT (Win2000) .
Anyone have some suggestions?
Thank you
JonnyQuags 09-25-2000, 08:14 PM any vdi host can do that.

¸pando, this topic has been covered several times... and beside the host that tell themselves that theya re good... take 2 minutes to do a search on this forum (see the 'search' button on top?) for dedicated server. I guess you will discover some pretty _well known_ companies.
Come with us :P (but we are not well known. and we are spamming boards...)
^^ hey that was meant to be a sarcasm :)

:D:D:D:D
There is currently a thread discussing a few of the more popular dedicated server companies:

In actuality... this entire forum is about dedicated servers (more or less). It shouldn't be too hard to find information on just about any company that you are considering.

Shooter 09-30-2000, 11:18 PM I've looked at so many hosts lately it's dizzying... I was looking at an RH-2 server at http://www.DedicatedHosting.com, which was listed originally at $225/mo - then when I clicked to order it came up at $275. Plus there's a "No refund/no cancellation policy" for the first 3 mo. I don't like that, especially if I have to spend $300 on setup. They don't mention any software on the server - so if I wanted to run ASP, or PHP, or any number of other features it looks like I'm going to have to buy a *lot* more software!
Why is it so difficult to find an inexpensive server (ideally under $250/mo.) who can support multiple domains, decent bandwidth, ASP, MS Access, etc.??? (Or will I be forced to learn PHP, which I have had NO success in using yet...?)

Well you wouldnt need to buy it considering all are free :). Not sure abt ASP though. I think you would have to pay for it :(

It is'nt. You can have a look at other companies, that were mentioned.
vdi.net
ultraspeedusa.com
dialtoneinternet.com
catalog.com
All have good support and prices.
Shooter, if you're looking for a decent NT host to run ASP etc., then you might want to check out WebExpose (http://www.webexpose.net), which offers Win2000 servers running ASP from around $219/month.
In answer to your question, you will generally find NT servers (running ASP) more expensive because each NT licence costs $x (around $150-300 depending on where you live) and the other setup/software costs are higher.
As compared to a *nix server, where you can set it up for free (excluding the cost of the hardware :))
P.S. In answer to Kunal's question, ASP comes free with Internet Information Server 4.0/5.0, which comes pre-installed when you buy an NT/Win2K licence.
P.P.S. I highly advise learning PHP whichever way you turn - you never know when you might need it and it's becoming extremely popular for web automation.

I agree. Plus PHP is a highly refined language! It is easy to learn even if you are not a programer, or dunno the meaning of programing ;). Also much less code has to be written to do simple tasks as compared to Perl.
Shooter 10-01-2000, 11:21 AM I would like to learn PHP, but so far the documentation I've seen seems to skip over everything I have a question about. I used to teach Basic and Atlas programming (I know, I'm dating myself), but have grown accustomed to the GUI of Dreamweaver and such. I currently have an Access MDB that I would like to build a site around, and assumed that ASP would be the best way of doing that. I haven't found a straightforward way to convert the MDB to mySQL, and I also haven't found a starting point on using PHP to build my pages (basic layouts currently being developed in Dreamweaver). Do you use PHP for straight hand-coding only, using just any text editor?? Or can you build your page with DW for layout and then insert bits of PHP for the db queries, etc.???

kunal 10-01-2000, 02:40 PM Well you can take a look at
http://www.phpbuilder.com
http://www.phphelp.com
http://www.devshed.com
All of these are great resources for php.
For converting a Access DB to MySQL, get the ODBC software provided at the MySQL page [ http://www.mysql.com ]. It will let you connect to a remote MySQL database, and do the data conversion for you.
You can add snippets of PHP in your pages :)
