I like it with no setup fees, you will get alot of buisness with no setup fees I can promise you that. Showing your website and some pictures through your process would be awsome, I want to see how it looks anyways, I think the plans price are alright, if you got servers in the Netherlands or UK let me know. Good luck!

Thanks for your answer :) We are in the process of getting our "dedicated servers" site done with all our company information. We have been more than 3 years in business. At the moment we'll only be offering these servers from our datacenter.

We don't have testlinks available yet. We just want to know if these offers sound interesting in order to start buying this hardware in bulk.

Please keep the feedback coming. Much appreciated :)

cbwass: We will be offering offsite backup space on special backup servers. Don't you think that's better than an additional HD ?

Siet: We'll try... but I think it's going to be impossible ;)

I would backup cbwass for a second HDD and would even add Raid 1 (software or hardware) in case of failure.

The machine which would be of most interest to me would be the AMD 165 in the following spec.

: Professional Server:
AMD Opteron 165 Dual Core
2048MB RAM
2x 250GB SATA
2000GB transfer
Raid 1 (Hardware or Software)
OS: FreeBSD 6.1 (or CentOS4.3)
Directadmin

Setup-fee: 0€
Monthly fee: xxx€

Best regards

Hosting3w.com : The main line will be a cogent Gig-E with a backup line from another provider.

valentin_nil: No problem with the second HDD. We'll offer a one-time option and also a monthly fee. Raid shouldn't be a problem neither.

Thanks for the feedback guys, keep it coming :)

Your offers sound great, however there are probably a few customers like me that prefer non-managed servers. Will you be offering these same servers non-managed?
Cheers

SumarMDS: I'm looking forward to working with you.

e-view: That should be 2000GB. Regarding your question, yes we will also be offering advanced dual xeon/opteron servers with scsi drives and 10Mbps lines. Think about the lines of 179 euros montly.

blacklung: Unmanaged servers are 10 euros cheaper monthly.

I want to thank all of you again for your input. We're working to get you the best offers in europe.

Have a nice weekend :)

phyto: Please elaborate more on the windows server. Which OS do you want? Do you want it managed? Do you need mssql?

Thank you :)

There's no problem with the pricing, you could probably charge more.

But I don't see any information about your datacenter and any information explaining the network quality, for me, this is more important than whether it's dual core or single core.

I'd love to see information which would show why YOU are different from the hundreds of mediocre providers in Europe. Can you compete with Leaseweb?

We will be offering 99,9% uptime guarantuee with SLA. We are inside a telecommunications center with all the usual security/stability aspects. We offer *real* managed support. We focus on service, not on cheap pricing.

To make this story short, our goal is to acheive US quality in Europe. Time will tell if we are capable of doing it :)
