Are those XP "certified" to be functional? (meaning they don't have heating problems?)

XP 1700s are all good. It was the XP 1900s that we no longer sell that we had heating problems with.

This is just a paid advertisement position. The wording is a little misleading. Probably "sticky" would be better.

Hope I answered your question.

Hello,

Not know so much about dedicated servers at RS, do they all come with general languages and protocols such as php/mysql, perl, ssi, javascript, etc. pre-installed? Or do I have to install them myself?

ckpeter

Yes, all the usual programs comes with the installation. And if not, you can always install it yourself.

Ok thanks for the info, ckpeter. My next questions, if I buy one of their servers, they will give me their nameservers perhaps "ns1.rackshack.net" and "ns2.rackshack.net", right? I just send them an e-mail and request them for my own nameservers? Is that how it works?

I am not sure what you mean. I think you can use their name servers, or you can implement your own.

I don't mean to be offensive, but you don't sound too familar with server administration. You may want to look at some other options besides Rackshack, as they do not provide *any* managed service at all. Anything other then hardware or network issue, you are on your own.

You're right, I do not know know much about server admin, but I was just curious about what you get from a dedicated server. ;)

Edit: I meant to say "I do not know..." My bad.

If RS own this forum, and other hosting companies pay for these "important" threads, who do RS pay?

xela,

yes they do DNS for you. Don't need to send email, it's all automated in the members section.
