The whois record said that NS.NS4UA.COM 216.74.70.96 NS2.NS4UA.COM 216.74.70.159 stand for their nameservers.

What I believe that they are a below10host.com reseller.
and as long as I know, below10host.com is a good company.

Almost identical to http://racklocation.com/dedic.htm Basic 1 package (less of a set up fee, though Expert is w/o the yearly payment).

I just take a look at their website looking for overage bandwith charges. Could not find the the information, but when I go to their colocation deal, I saw the following bandwith charges:

2GB -> $ 45/mo
5GB -> $ 90/mo
10GB -> $145/mo
15GB -> $215/mo
20GB -> $265/mo

Wa! Makes me want to throw up.... :sickface: This is ridiculous! Even with their lowest bandwith charges, it still cost you about $13/GB/mo (up tp $22.5/GB/mo). See... at some point you will outgrow your bandwith allowance of 10GB/mo (that's the idea of having dedicated server anyway). And at that point... you they will start makind tons of money from you. You started cheap (actually, not really if you consider the setup fee) and ended up very expensive!
Search for this forum... a lot of good company can offer a better deal for it. Some even offer bandwith charge as low as $2/GB/mo (and even $1/GB). The normal price you should pay for bandwith charge is around $3/GB/mo and no more than $4/GB/mo.

My two cents...

cheers,

Sh*t! I think I'll go bankrupt since I'm eating like just under 500gb on one server, so far...

ha..ha... using their bandwith charge, you will be paying around $5000/mo just for the bandwith charge! :) :) What an evil company, indeed! :angry:

Just for curiosity Dylan, how many domains do you host on each server?

ExpertHosting.com appears to be owned by the former owner of TrueHosting. Not someone you'd want to rent a server from.
