Hey guys, new to WHT, but got a few questions to help ease the search.

I have found some good LA datacenters, but most are "colo" and can't afford that.

My question is this:

I want servers with decent specs, good amount of bandwidth and good quality connection.

Now I plan (want to) to spend about $150ish/mo. Now this may not get me far, but I am up for any and all good ideas.

What you got for me guys?

Thanks
Jesse

Are you a gamer? I noticed your screen name.

I used to live in So Cal a few months back and know what you are going through. It is a tough place to find anything decent.

I had a list somewhere with some contacts in Cal, I'll shoot them to you if I can find them.

Sounds good to me, thanks...

yes i am a gamer and have central based servers, but alot of business for gameservers in west side.... so anything could help...

Why must it be southern cali? there is only 8-10ms from LA to the silicon valley area, and there are alot more companies in that area.

Calpop is in the LA region and offers dedi, but their network wasn't too good for gaming in the past

Friend at calpop told me they added a gig of L3 last week..and from SM:

That should definately help their network - so I think it'd be safe to try them www.calpop.com
