I have to setup new server so i'm looking for dedicated server. I need these features:

-OS Linux 6.1
-Pentium procesor >400MHz
-128MB RAM
-HDD >8GB
-fast conection
-100GB of bandwidth (currently I utilize ~10GB)
-PRICE <$200/month

I don't want RAQ3 server.

If you know any good offer, please send an e-mail to me: thomas@softicom.net

Thank You

100 gb/month is going to be hard to find for under $200.

Yes, but I found many companies which offer these features for ~$250 (ie. catalog.com) so it might be somewhere company which will offer it for <$200 :)

so i'm still looking ...

True, Catalog has a package that is very close to that. They were the exception though. I have still to find a dedicated server company to offer that much bandwidth for under $200 (other than 4webspace, but you mentioned you did not want a raq).

My concern is that you may be looking for too much for too little a price, which brings me back to the old saying, "you get what you pay for". Make sure you investigate the company's reputation and not just the amount of bandwidth they offer for a certain price.

yeah, You're right.
I'm very very unhappy with my current provider (local) so I'll investigate next company very well.
I'm waiting for offers from cheapservers.net and ultraspeedusa.com :)

I'm with Ultraspeedusa and have been very happy with their service. Let us know how it goes. :)

just becuase somebody offers it for 250 .. don't allways assume there must be a cheaper price out there, damm, people are going to be asking for a dedicated server for the price of a virtual account in no time.

200.00 for 100Gig .. humm .. that won't cover my bandwith alone :(

I'd rather pay more and know I'll have the support when I need it. A dedicated server company can only offer so much for soo little. There is a limit and I think $200+ is it, or something gets compromised along the way.

I would check http://www.skynetweb.com/ I can't remember if the base package is 50gb or 100gb of transfer.

Why would you need 100GB of bandwidth when you are using only 10GB at the moment? You could get more later, since your budget would also grow, as your site becomes more popular.

------------------
Yes, but I prefer to buy a lot of bandwidth now so I won't worry about it in the next couple of months.
And I didn't mention that I need only 1 or 2 IP addresses, i don't need support :) and it could be old AMD400Mhz.

Server like this i want cost ~$500 so If 4websapce can offer much more expensive RAQ3 with 100GB of bandwidth so someone can offer me my linux :)

I can't use raq servers because I have my own control panel and it'll be very very hard to transfer my current clients to raq server :(

PS. One question: If I want to quote someone how to do this?

When you wanna quote his/her reply, you can find the option, under that particular reply. Its the last option in the list.

You might want to try dedicatedhosting.com.

Their current special matchs your requirements pretty well: http://www.dedicatedhosting.com/products_specmonthly.htm

They have not been mentioned in this forum for a while but previous posts were mostly positive.

Do you host with them?

No, I am with DialtoneInternet right now (and happy with them) but I might need a second server soon (for redundancy) and I am looking for alternatives.

O.k. I had a look at dedicatedhosting.com and indeed there is a package for $ 199 including 100 GB transfer and a linux box. And it says $0.10/MB for traffic over the amount purchuased in advance, no matter if virtual or dedicated. That means you have to go damn sure that you don´t get over you amount otherwise each Gig will be not less than $$$ 100 $$$ :-)

BTW don´t I have more than 3 posts meanwhile, looks like it is showing 3 posts all the time, with this it should become 4 at least

says 4 for me tim. :)

Ah I see, if you don´t reload the main page before posting again it doesn´t recognize (through cookie?) that you had another post and therefore no count...

So is your primary concern about your dedicated server bandwidth? If so, you should look at http://www.wedgemusic.com. I needed lots of bandwidth for my server so I hosted with them and have been fairly happy. My only complaint would be that they don't have any online ordering (had to fax stuff).

Hmm. That is strange. Where did you find this information? Judging from their site it does not seem as if dedicatedhosting.com offers any virtual hosting at all. And the configuration page offers bandwidth in 50 gig increments (for less than $3 per gig, which is pretty good).

And quoting from there FAQ:

How do you allocate bandwidth?
Bandwidth is pre-allocated in most cases in a block of 100 GB to all customers. If the customers utilize over the allotted amount in their one month, our technical department notifies our sales department who in turn contacts the customer.

We also use Packeteer, a device that monitors all traffic to and from your server. This gives us an idea of what sort of bandwidth requirements you have. If for one month you do exceed your allotment by a few Gigabytes, then it would not be a concern from our end. However, if you consistently exceed your limit every month, you will be contacted to purchase a larger allocation of bandwidth to ensure better performance.


Sounds good to me!

If you are looking for a company for less than $200, good luck. Are you looking for price or for quality and service? A lot of companies may be cheap but what about their customer service?! I am fairly new to hosting but started with Host2Own and so far,they have worked out well. They have a decent price ($250) and their support is unlimited and helpful. Check them out.

Nice to know. What's your web site/server address there?

Hrmm.... that host seems pretty nice. I like the fact that they let you rent to own. I might even offer that service now :) Anyways, do people really like those Cobalt RAQ servers? They've never really been my thing. I guess I'm just an 'ol Linux lover. Blah blah, I love rambling.

I'd ask Steve (Tera). I believe his answer will be yes. Really, if you are a webdesigner, or have a busy site or want to host a few sites, etc., they are very good.

They aren't the most robust solution out there but I don't think they claim to be. The 250 site limit is an indicator of that.

Hi! I guess I missed some posts on this form with the holidays and everything. I would like to clear up our bandwidth polices as they were mentioned previously in this thread. Yes, our site does list that we charge $0.10/MB for over utilized bandwidth not purchased in advance. The way the policy works is that once you go over your bandwidth, you are contacted and asked to buy more at regular rates. If you refuse to buy more bandwidth then you will be charged the $0.10/MB next time you go over the limit.

I hope this makes our bandwidth policy a little clearer.

BC-Actually, I don't have a website to give to you. I am a web designer and share space with a friend on the server.
Where are you in your services? How do you like them?

Rocket,

I think what people are getting at is that you are throwing around host2owns name, your new, and you dont even know the ip address to the server you supposedly have there or the server that you are hosted on that is there.

Truthfully I myself have a hard time believing you.

I think I am going to go with Cbakers services, Pretty nice in E-mails so far and well they are in Kansas and they are a short drive from me. I don't know much about their service yet but at $25.00 a rack spot and $3.00 a GB I don't think that's bad.

However I sit down and make a list of questions and what your expecting. i.e. Prices, Space, Expansion, Connections, Support, years in business, Equipment age, software versions, software upgrades, last years down time totals, yada yada then E-mail them expect to the point answers because it is your money they are wanting and you should expect (Demand) to know answers to your questions however trivial they are. If they don't answer then you know they probably aren't a very good company to pursue. I go so far as to even check up with their company name at the State's (usually http://www. state. <Abrev.> .us)online Database for DBA (Doing Business As) It's has addresses, Names, and phone numbers.

If you really want your hosting company to succeed and your relying on someone else you need to know all this information to make a good decision. After all if they fail you'll fail and that's not what you want.

Edit: Dang thing made a URL out of my example for the state DB
