We need a lowend dedicated box with large HD's (120/200gb) to backup our Acronis server images of our other servers.

Requirements:
- Windows 2003
- Large HD's

Any suggestions? We are already with SM/TP so would like to use another company for redundancy and risk reduction.

Managed.com ? very cheap and you can easily setup Linux as a backup server for your windows 2003. FTP is same :-)

No must be windows otherwise we have to pay for linux management.

too bad managed.com 50% out of stock. Also think I read bad things about them on here..?

Try theplanet, got some good servers there

Thanks Yea, though I specifically wanted *Windows*.

No good getting linux box and getting hacked the next month because we dont know what we doing.

Oops I see nocster does do windows as an add-on price.

Ah I see , sorry about that.
The nocster server can come in a windows platform for an additional
Windows 2003™ Server - Web Edition - $14.95/MONTH

Good luck with your search :)

Ask Nocster to replace the primary HD with a 200GB HD, they'll be able to do that for an extra fee instead of having an extra 60GB HD for no reason.
