Many places will install the operating system of your choice if you just ask. Be more specific on what you want and maybe someone can help you. How fast of a processor do you want? How much memory do you want? Do you want IDE or SCSI? How large hard drive do you want? How much bandwidth are you looking for? How many IP addresses do you need? How much are you willing to spend?

That's not very specific. Everyone's definition of good varies. How many sites are you planning to host? Are they large or small sites? Do they get a lot of traffic? If you don't know what you're looking for, then nobody can help.

I want about a 40gig hd or more, 512 - 1000meg RAM, 1gigahertz better, to host as many people as i can get, like 50 maybe, something like that. And a good amount of bandwidth

With 40GB, I think you can host more than that :)

The freeBSD dedicated server can run between $99--$250 or more depending on the bandwidth usage and the server spec.

I would recommend that if you want to make it a business, draw your business model, figure the budget and how much that you're going to charge for your service (space, bandwidth, software, control panel, etc). This way, you can predict what is the requirement for your freeBSD dedicated server.

I wish you all the best! :)
