Hi all,
I'm looking to migrate from numerous reseller accounts to a dedicated server(s), so my question is - who would you recommend for fully managed dedicated server within $200/month margin? Quality/features comes first. Basically what I want is WHM interface and none of root's responsibilities :)

I was looking around and found Sprintserve.net little expensive but they seem to reply fast and are giving a good number of things with there servers.

First thing you would need to specify is how many clients you have an what hardware specifications you are looking for. You should look for a management service that will provide you with advanced server hardening / Firewall services, Monitoring of any processes that you may be using. (Apache, Mail, FTP, ect). kernel upgrades, anything to keep your server running and secure. Just be sure to ask alot of questions of whoever you choose. You cant ask to many questions of any host.

I'm afraid of not asking enough :) That's why I wrote "none of root responsibilities" - because I really want provider to treat me like a reseller account that has whole server to resell. Somewhat the opposite of VDS/VPS idea ;)

With a fully managed server you should need root access at all but that is why you needed to question each host. They all have a slightly diffrent definition of the meaning of a managed server.

Mosts host want to have big money to manage the server for you.
You can get it alot cheaper by getting the host and serveradmin at different places.
150$ for a server, 50$ for a cheap but great server admin.

(Send a PM if you need a server admin, I know a good one)
