This has been brought to my attention by somebody else.

Try http://www.ecui.com. They offer a really good deal on Win NT/2000 servers. They also include a generous amount of traffic/month (at leas 100GB/mo included) an a really cheap extra bandwith if you want to purchase in advance ($50/50GB/mo). The monthly price also include a full class C block of IPs (256 of them). Their backbone is at least OC3. See their prices and see if you can find a better deal anywhere.

I don't know about their support, but I have talked to them and the person I talked to seem to understand everything that concern me. I am about to collocate my linux server with them (once I finish testing it) and might probably go with their NT dedicated servers as well.

Please let me know your experience with them.

cheers,

The phrase, you get what you pay for springs to mind. You might experience unnessary troubles by going to a cheaper provider (e.g. they might not have the money to build a proper scalable, redundant network to hang the dedicated boxes in).

I would recommend:

http://www.dn.net
http://www.rackspace.com

I've done some calcs, and even at their prices, you can make a healthy profit per box when reselling the space.

Nate sorry, Brently is a sales associate for the company he was recommending. I've left Micro's post in case you were interested, but I'd look elsewhere first.

After looking at http://www.ecui.com./ I must admin those are very good prices, any information on this company. I am looking for a good server to start hosting some Windows 2000 sites but need to find out if this host is any good, any comments will be greatly appreciated...

Also, if anyone can recommend a host that offers Windows 2000 (Dedicated Server) server, Control Panel is a plus!

Thanks.

why don't you contact them? They were very helpful and knowledgable when I contacted them.... But I also do not know how good/reliable they are.

cheers,
