These types of threads are beaten to death, please do a SEARCH (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php?s=) before you post.

All that to say this, there is no best, only what is best for you.

I'll recommend ThePlanet. Good network, some people have complaints about the service though, it's been good for me.

Words of warning: Be sure you can manage your own server with any provider that you select.

Unless of course you just RackSpace. They will do literally all the management for you. But of course, with exceptional service, comes exceptional prices ;)

ThePlanet doesn't provide unlimited bandwidth. ServerMatrix does (and runs it on its own network, so I can't vouch for it).

How much bandwidth do you really need?

I've had bad experiences with The Pkanet - ServerMatrix, very unresponsive, cocky bunch in serious need of customer relation lessons. I suggest you check http://voxrox.com, they have an unlimited bandwidth server offer with a 10Mbps line.

Check out http://www.superb.net , I believe their dedicated servers can be found at http://www.superbservers.net . You can chat with live sales directly from the website if you have any questions.

http://superbservers.net is where we have all of our servers and we are extremely happy with them, being able to chat directly with a live person who is knowledgable is always a huge advantage in an industry that demands instant information, waiting half a day is not good.

ThePlanet's uptime can't be beat.

I almost ever have to deal with a tech because of that - when I do, they're fast and responsive.

If you're looking to use a lot of transfer then Superb is the right choice.

Their pro server is a Dual XEON 3.06 with 2,000 GB per month for only $239 a month. I've got 6 of these things now, and a bunch of smaller servers... the network is great.

Downtime is non existent... I can't think of any downtime, that I didn't cause, and even then their support guys fixed me up right away...

If you're into selling servers they've got a good reseller program too..

Surprised to see this topic die....

No one have any recommendations for who is the best right now? I would think this would be constantly changing...

Posts like this die because it just turns into a promoting contest, which is something we want to avoid. It is hard to judge "who is the best" because dedicated service providers have specific niches as well.

Its ironic how my post contributes to keeping this thread alive... *sigh* Sorry in advance :rolleyes:

It all depends on what you need. Most of the providers are good, now i use 3 providers, but can't say which one is the best. All the 3 is good for me. Price vary at time, if you are lucky, you can get special offers at WHT. I would recommend

www.servermatrix.com
www.dedicatednow.com
www.layeredtech.com

Ev1Servers.net is popular provider. But i feel like they have lot of old servers because they start years back compared to new providers like dedicatednow and servermatrix. You will get Celeron 1.3 from Ev1 at the price of Cel 2.4 with 1 GB RAM from ServerMatrix.

The great SWR has said it many times, there is no best host, just what's best for you ;)

With that being said, i've always had a fantastic time with sagonet, staminus in the USA, and amenworld & rackcheck in europe.
