Most real dedicated server providers allow that. Walter 05-31-2002, 08:32 AM Originally posted by ToastyX Most real dedicated server providers allow that. Could you please clarify what you mean by "real"? Customized servers are a very nice feature for the customer but sometimes a pain for the host as he will usually try to have a common server base to simplify support. And what if the customer leaves after two months... (of course I am not talking about adding a memory stick or such) apollo 05-31-2002, 12:47 PM Well, I guess his 'real' means that the company offers system configuration on their web site (ram, hdd, tape, bandwidth, ips etc) not just ready-to-go pre-customized and pre-configured servers to keep down the cost as low as possible. squeakyclean 05-31-2002, 12:50 PM I mean fully customizable, not just memory and drive space, I mean you choose what to put on it as software also.

Expect a high setup fee or a contract required. |
