I would recommend staying AWAY from cheaper hosts.. if you don't know how to manage a server, I would highly suggest paying the extra to get a fully managed one with copious support. My personal suggestions would be:
http://i-NetSolutions.net (a GNAX reseller)
http://dedicatedserversolutions.com/ (Incognito's, he uses GNAX and LiquidWeb)
or, if you prefer a more commercial option, take a look at http://servermatrix.com

Good luck!

I'd say HiVelocity.net is one of the best higher-end hosts for a better price than say RackSpace.

Over 450$/month for a 2.4 ghz? with great setup fees... outrageous man...

maybe having a ded in my home would be ok... because, what is likely hood that i have tornado or earthquake? lol.

plus i could have backup power supply for 72 hours...

Anyways..

ANy other dedicated places?

Did you try negotiating? People who charge higher prices can usually work out deals customed to you. And yes i'll second the fact that ev1 is NOT hosting WHT, RackSpace is.

Servermatrix: if you need a cheaper solution, choose their Silver plan or none, if you need more hand holding, then get their server with a Platinum plan, or Gold plan, at least.
