I asked this on the recellar.com site - no one responded to me in a few days so i will ask again here!

I have been trynig to save up money to get a dedicated server. I wanted to start reselling as a side business to my web designing. For simplicity sake I was gonna get a server that was running the cpanel software. I expected to pay atleast $200 per month for it though, so I was waiting a month or two before deciding who to order from. I was just narrowing down my search when I found this new deal from burstnet.
$99 setup and $99 per month, and it looks like it jums up to $150 for months four and more. That is pretty darn cheap. I was just wondering how they could sell that so cheap. I have not found any other cpanel servers anywhere near as close. Is this a scam? I don't think so, cause burstnet is pretty big host. But I cannot order this cause I think it is too cheap.

Too cheap? - yes I see you got a problem there :-)

Search the forum and see what people think of them. Some hate Burstnet, other loves them. Search and decide, just be aware that just because one company is not right for some people - they could be right for you.

Good luck

Also, look at the quality of the parts, i.e the motherboard, ram, harddrive, ethernet card etc.. etc. Cheaper parts equals cheaper server.

BurstNET is able to offer cpanel at that price because of their bulk licensing.
