i'm looking for a good host to start my dedicated server. for those of you gamers out there, i'm a hardcore diabloII fan, and what i'd like to do is...start something similar on a server. any thoughts on a reliable company?

http://www.tera-byte.com or http://www.rackspace.com

Hey, if you are in the UK or USA I strngley reccommend ultraspeed, the support is free and the best in the business!

thanks, but i looked at tera-byte and they seem okay, but i don't know how much my bandwidth is going to be initially? rackspace.com is neat, but i've heard some horror stories about their service department from some friends who have virtual sites witht them...maybe their dedicated is better?

Well, the one thing someone told me about their experience with dedicated servers at rackspace was positive, but I'd also scan the forum (search) for rackspace and see what you come up with. For a provider not to have any good AND bad opinions is rare, and there are only a couple that I can think of that fall into this catagory. Not everyone is going to like everthing.
