Regarding 4Webspace (Tera-Byte):
You don't need them to install PHP and MySQL on the server. All RaQ4s come with PHP already installed and configured to work with MySQL.
You can get a package from the Cobalt download site that will install MySQL for you in less than a minute - for free.
PHPMyAdmin is also a free program.

4Webspace/Tera-Byte also just recently changed their policies. They are no longer allowing you to run DNS off of your own machine. You *must* use their DNS. For an extra $10/month, they will co-brand it so you can keep your registered name servers - but again, they'll be assigned to IPs that are not on your machine. You'll have to add a virtual site on your machine, then go to Tera-Byte's site and plug in the DNS information for the site/domain/IP.

Note: If you do not want the DNS service co-branded and are satisfied with having your customers registering their name servers as ns1.tera-byte.com and ns2.tera-byte.com, it's free.
Of course, then you run the risk of having your customers just cruise on over to Tera-Byte and host with them instead. Yeah... no wonder it's free. *snort*

Having your clients register their domain with YOUR name servers is what's going to cost you an extra $10/mo.
*mumble mumble grumble*

I tell ya, a plain vanilla linux box is looking better and better all the time - I'm starting to not care about having the convenience of a control panel for my customers. The RaQ is great, but... (anyone who's hosted on a RaQ knows what to put after that 'but'.)

I'm starting to not care about having the convenience of a control panel for my customers. The RaQ is great, but...


The RaQ's control panel is what kept me from signing up as a hosting customer with a host who was RaQ based, and it is probably what will keep me from looking at a RaQ for dedicated as well. The looks are OK (not great, but OK), but is is so darn S L O W on every demo I've seen that I just can't stand it (at least it was on the RaQ 3... made me feel like the RaQ was using a 286 chip. Yuk. Maybe the RaQ 4 finally has enough juice to run its own control panel in real time?)

Raven: it looks like the 4webspace $99 is for a Raq 3; the $199 is for a Raq 4.

Don't know if I like the word "shack" is a selling feature though!

My bad! I read the 4webspace/$99/RaQ3 and then when I went down to rackshack/$99/RaQ4 it's like my mind completely re-wrote itself.

Sowwy. :(
(The info is still true, though - you don't have to pay extra to have MySQL or PHPMyAdmin installed. With a RaQ4, PHP is on there already and installing it on a RaQ3 is as simple as following Steve Bassi's great directions on the cobalt-users mailing list.)

Careful...
Rackshack says $99 for a 4i on their front page. Click the 'compare prices' link or click 'order', however, and the price jumps to $128.

Also, on the front page it says 335 available. Completely different story from the 'compare prices' page though, that says there's only 10 available. (and 42 machines total available.) - Either way, far less than 335.

Lots of incorrect things on the front page; could be construed as misleading or outright false.

Try iNNERHost.com

they ar really good and have dedicated servers for 499.

It's amazing for their kind of support and NT platform.

Cheers!

499? I'd never pay that!

$99 = dtwebworks.com

Be careful of terabyte now, theyve had a streak of terrible customer service lately, in fact 2 horror story were just posted on here a little while ago. Havent heard anything bad about rackshack but I believe they are new

Can anyone find this deal at $99 with 100GB Transfer?

Actually I m looking for Linux Dedicated Server with a resonable hardware with 100GB bandw. for around $100 or so. I don't like RaQs because of its design and limitation on performance.

Do take note though stsve the tera-byte owner is very unhappy about the poor customer service to those clients and is gunning for the tech's who provided the poor service.

I've had one problem with tera-byte customer service last summer and had it straightened out pretty fast by steve.

For an extra $10/month, they will co-brand it so you can keep your registered name servers

What do you mean co-brand? I'd expect if you have to pay for it, the only brand that will appear is yours, not Tera-Byte, right?

Why is it they don't want ns run off clients RaQ3 anymore? Is this just to make some extra bucks or is there a technical reason?

Actually they said they wanted people to do because of technical reasons, but its actually a better idea for you to have your server setup as primary and use one of their secondary servers, what happens if their servers get hacked, a ton of clients will be down, plus it is a good marketing gimmick...

Looks like their improving though, so I would still recommend them, every company goes through hard times its just how they correct them, that makes a company stand out from the comp.
