I'm on my current hosts reseller plan. They are very proud of their bandwidth, which.. it IS good... but good grief. Instead of setting up all new reseller accounts I'd like to go dedicated. However, I'm paying $60/mo now.. and that's my budget.

Are there any Windows dedicated plans out there that are decdently dependable for that much? I was going to go Tomsyer but then I saw the extra $25/mo on Windows that bumps it up past my $60. Thanks!

All I can say is good luck, your not going to get a windows machine for under $60 or $60 for that matter try raising your budget $30-60 and you will have a decent windows machine to help you grow.

Yeah. I figured... just wanted to see if by some miracle someone had a good host. LOL I might have to dig and see if I can come up with the extra for tomsyer.net.

If you can bump up your budget from $70 to $80 you can get a managed.com server with Windows 2003 (web) $60 for server + $19.95 for the license.

hrmm.. so far all I've heard is bad about managed.com. It was my original choice but due to reviews... that changed.

A burstnet reseller can't beat that price, unless it's a closeout or a special promotion.

The cheapest "regular" server @ nocster is priced at $59.95

Server price after reseller discount: 44.96

Windows license: 19.95

Total cost TO THE RESELLER: 64.91

And the reseller wants to make some profit out of this deal, and maybe has some processing fees (Paypal fees, credit card processing fees)

And by the way, even if a reseller sells that server at 65.00 I wouldn't dare to comment on the support they can provide making a 0.09 profit from a server.

There are some kids out there that do want to get clients and sell them at No profit price FYI :D

As I said, if someone sells that server for 65 I would stay away, as there would be impossible for the reseller to offer some kind of tech support.... as you said... only a kid would do it.
