Anyone out there or know anyone out there offering similar deals to eservers.biz and tranxactglobal.com but not them?

server wise, bandwidth wise, etc...

but NOT rackshack?

I'm looking to move my servers and customers - I need to change providers.

You could also try http://www.globalcompass.com - It's their data center that is located within Atlanta - Cut the middle man and try direct if that is what you would like to do.

I'm not sure they sell individual dedicated servers, but you could talk to one of the providers that hosts there.

Yes they do provide managed dedicated servers, they do house other companies machines there too of course.

They're not responding with prices -I've emaield them :(

It's always good to email a few companies all at once and then weigh up which one makes you feel more comfortable when you get the replies. Venturesonline are a good reliable host but a bit more expensive than some - good service though.

It comes down to personal preference at the end of the day - if you want good support be prepared to pay for it.

Also, I really don't think that rackshack are that bad - There seems to be a downer on that company - but with what I hear, they are not so bad - you could do much worse than get a rackshack server.

Keep your eye on the special offers here and you can quite easily save a few $$'s by being in the right place at the right time.

Good luck with your searching.

Are you hosted with them or one of the companies inside of their data center? How's the service so far?

Yes.

The service so far is good - When Cogent goes down it doesn't take long for the backup providers to be connected - Multi homed I think is a real must. I would not rely upon cogent on it's own.
