and why?

also, if you can suggest some other great server sellers, please do so, but know that they must be better than those two, in comparation to quality and price

thanks!

www.nocster.com are just as good if not better then both the majority of the time. Their pricing is also awsome compared to them :)

I'd be careful with nocster though. Lately i'm not sure whether they're stable as a company or not. They claim to be adding a second transport line from XO so that they'll now have 2 (keeping the original from CTSI). Nocster probably has the best support in the budget hosting industry. Their support ticket team is phenomenal. SM's support is much slower and not as quick to resolve things. Ev1 some times just doesn't answer support because it's not included with what they offer..

Yep I fully agree on the support part, they were awsome when I was there. I would not have too many concerns over the company itself, the only problem I can forsee is their network, although they are as reliable as SM in general and have not been down since the terible time they had a few months ago.

should i take that as a suggestion to go to SM? :)

Edit: I guess neither one of those three supports IRCd process? :(

EV1 does as far as i know. But it shouldn't be connected to a network.

I havent really liked ev1. Prices not very attractive, service is average. SM on the otherhand had problems recently, but their pricing is much better and service is fantastic (i heard)

Most importantly, Ev1 supports SCO :angry:

what is SCO?

i thought it's ev1 support paid linux, not sure what's SCO also.

Some articles on the issue:

ok, so beside that ev1server is a bitch, for their (expensier) price in comparation to SM, do they worth that cash?

or SM is better solution?

or maybe that nocster who came as a third solution?

my final decision depens on you guys so please help me choose the right one.
