View Full Version : Little fishing for a dedicated server

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody could come in the neighbourhood of this (http://www.eservers.biz/dedicated/eserverpmdu.php) pricing. It's the eservers amd 1 ghz package. I would go with eservers, but as at this time they do not offer H-sphere licences for internal use, I thought that I would post this here before I make my final decision.

What am I looking for:

Minimum 1 ghz processor (if possible not a Duron because of the RS horror stories with these)
Minimum 512 MB ram
Minimum 300 GIGS a month transfer (pure Cogent isn't a problem, I'd prefer something like 400 - 500 GIGS a month, but can live with 300)
Maximum $150 a month
Small or no setup fee (willing to negotiate quarterlee payments if this helps reduce the setup fee or some other kind of longer term contract)
NO contol panel included in the monthly price (al I want is a linux install)
H-Sphere internal licencing pricing should be available, preferable in packs of 50 licences (as I believe this is the minimum amount a pack is allowed to include, but I could be wrong).
Credit card payment MUST be accepted as paypal has never seen fit to activate my account, even after me faxing them the necessary information 3 times

I know this is probably a tall order and I doubt I'll get many replies to this, if any, but I figured it's worth a shot. Please post all your offers here, or if you don't want to make them public PM me. I ask NOT to email me as hotmail seems to have been bouncing some of the emails people are trying to send me back to the senders for some unknown reason.

P.S. I know RS bargain servers fit my description, but I would like to avoid them.

Try http://www.webauthorities.com/wa-dedicated.html

They might be a little out of your price range if you are stringent on features but they are pretty good.

<nevermined> Fractious, I know you have some pretty nice offers, so feel free to throw it in here, even if it doesn't meet what I stated 100%. The features mentioned are my ideal features but I do realize that it may not be possible to fully adhere to them.

And I just realised I put this in the wrong forum. I swear I was in the requests forum when I hit the 'new post' button. Please move this to the relevant forum, thanks.

Nice offer Fractious. There seem to be few datacenters that have a reseller deal with H-Sphere, seems strange to me, I would have thought it would be popular.

Fractious, what would the price be for the same setup with only one 40 GIG 7200 rpm drive and WITHOUT Ensim (I hate that animal, it has managed to totally screw up the server I already have).

Wow, that's a rather nice deal. I went looking for dedicated packages on your site and came up dry though. What other packages do you offer?

$159/mo. with a $75 setup. unfortunatly we can't deduct Ensim because it comes for free and has no value towards the price of the server. But if you choose you don't have to have it installed.

That is it for now. but keep an eye open for the opening of EARservers.com in a week or so ;)
