Hi all,

we are already into webhosting offering our services to clients all over. Now we wish to go big and take a dedicated server. Our options are ;

unlimited domains hosting with control panel for each.
reseller branding
atleast 4 ips
totally managed server
full 24 hr service
server monitoring
firewalls
backup

and all other standard features required.

Please suggest a good dedicated server. Our budget is minmum and thats why we are trying to go for RACKSHACK. also send us your comments and review on rackshack.

thanks,

siva

we are trying to go for RACKSHACK.:eek:

Am I the only one who finds that amusing? Sivvaa, it doesn't sound like you're ready to move on to dedicated servers, at least not until you can afford a fully managed host.

Btw no offense to RackShack, they aim for a different segment of the market than those services.

Hi

i know rackshack doesnot offer managed services. what we are looking for is - some good service provider for managed services for rackshack servers..

if U think we are going for dedi server too early, then suggest a solution

You might want to look at saburovo.com. I know they deal with rackshack but I don't know how much support or management they offer.

If you need a totally managed server, then Rackshack isn't a good choice.

I assume that Rackspace (www.rackspace.com) is too expensive..?

My suggestions would be Venturesonline and Nocster, they both offer good support. You can also try Eservers.biz and Webreseller.net.

Finding a good and cheap managed server won't be easy though, good luck :)

you might as well just look for a managed solution from a solid hosting company.

www.webreseller.net
www.nocster.com

i believe both offer quality, inexpensive managed and semi-managed solutions.

there's no point in cutting costs with a cheap dedicated server then hiring a company to manage it for you.


now, if you're looking for someone to completely run your business while you just do sales, you'd problably be better off just being a reseller for an established company.

i dont believe webreseller is managed i asked them to do a kernel upgrade for me few months back they said they would'nt do it but maybe in the future because they wanted to have a solution where they could do everyones on the same day/time and so that did'nt go over well

they dont offer much support when it comes to managed.

i say ask subravo or whatever what kind of managed he includes like kernel upgrades etc.. etc...
i've only heard good about him.

as said before,
i think nocster would be the perfect solution for you ... they'r in rackshack's pricerange, but all servers are managed!
