I've been with Rackshack for the past 2 months dedicated wise. Anyways nothing but been put thru complete heck. Mainly the last 4 reboots I need took 6 hours for the first 2 and 8 on the 3rd and I'm going thru the forth right now. WHich is currently 4 hours and counting. So Anyways Here are my stuff I'm looking for.

Prices $130 and less (American)
Setup $250 and less setup

Either Unix/Linux, or FreeBSD. I dont care for our pizza shaped colbat raq servers so nothing to do with raq's.

Cpanel
700+ MHZ Processor
128+ ram
18 Gig Hardrive
2 IP's
Perl, Php, Asp, and so forth.

Anyways when it's + that or greater. Hope you can give me some sites. Only thing is has to be atleast decent support. Mainly gotta be better then Donhost. :D

Try BurstNet (http://burst.net). They have something like that for $99.95 per month.

I've already looked at them. To little bandwith, and the tech guy there didnt seem very nice.

I'd suggest posting your request in the requests forum.

I hear you about those reboots. I am now hosting with ServerArts.com and they have this cool feature where you can login to a web site and automatically cycle power on your server to reboot it. No more waiting for some bored techie to process a ticket in order to get my server rebooted. Unfortunately they only do Win2K but check them out, they may introduce Linux in the future.

Greetings,
Bro

Does it have to be Cpanel?

How many bandwidth do you expect, at least, for $130/month?

:cool:

Atleast 80 gigs at the very least. I prefer cpanel WAY over plesk and webmin. I am personally a cpanel fan.

Wow, I think you are asking for slightly too much for $130 , especially if you want CPanel included...

:eek4: :eek2: :eek:

Stay with Rackshack or be prepared to pay more......

CPanel costs most hosts $99/mo, and 80GB costs most hosts _at least_ $80/mo on a good, fast line. That alone is $179/mo. That doesn't include any kind of profit or server cost.

You might just want to stay put where you are or raise the monthly bar a little bit more ($250/mo is more reasonable).

Isn't it better to have a techie there during the reboot, to ensure that it comes back up?

I mean usually reboots are because you've made some changes that require one, right? Like enabling quotas on the root files system, or installing a new kernel.

If you reboot it automatically, you could be waiting that 8 hours with your server down, until a techie can take a look.

Is there anywhere else? I'm really having bad luck finding these.

It's not a matter of bad luck, it's just a matter of you asking for the impossible.

Bradman,

Maybe you oughtta give RS a second chance (third forurth :angry: )

They've been in a colo that was quite a way's away from the tech support system and once they *finally* get the new datacenter populated and staffed, HeadSurfer said reboots should start taking less than 15 minutes..

No way a company can do that in a colo when their guys are not there all the time.. From what they are saying, it will be 24/7/365...

Might be a good idea to stick it out and see how things go once the move is complte...

Shortwad...
