Has anybody used *****? They seem to include some decent services with their dedicated servers and I was just wondering if anybody had any priori experience.
Thanks.

The others are right! *****s rep speaks for itself.

What are your needs - posters here may be able to recommned a better host for you.

Like everybody else, a pefect server for $99 8^).

Seriously, I need a server to do php, mysql, and support a few sites, at least one of which will have forums with light traffic.

I'm not afraid of administering the web server and db server (I currently run Apache/mysql/php from home over a dsl line) but I'd rather not have to fool with dns or email servers if I can get away with it. I guess the email server is the one I'd really rather not fool with.

Any recommendation for an entry level provider?

You wont get any cheaper than RackShack... at $99 for the lowest offering...

If you can stretch a bit moreI would suggest eServers.biz (or somone else in the DV2 DC)

Want BAD support? Admins that REFUSE to use the phone?
Unwanted charges? NETWORK downtime? BAD third level DNS that is required by bad undocumented proprietary software? Modified O/S that has compatibility problems, and they won't give you docs on that?

Get *****, and you'll get ALL of the above! BTW, They somehow convinced the BBB to represent their stupid statements, but the BBB didn't hide it. Check out the BBB.org, and deja.com!
