In search of a dedicated server with the following specs for a friend:

P3 1GHZ
1 Gig Ram
Dual 18gig SCSI HD's Raid Setup
50 gigs transfer (additional transfer should be under $3/gig)

Friend would be willing to pay a setup fee ($500-$1,000) to get the monthly cost down to the $200 range..

Let me know if you know some one or if you can do something like this. A control panel would be nice as well since he is not a web guru..

Wow no one has replied yet ...

Your looking at about $400 to 500 a month with a 500 setup on this puppy.

If your still interested, I can give you more info.

Thanks, but as I said he would rather "pay" to have extra stuff added upfront then pay extra each month. But I will let him know your offer..

-BW

Something in this range will cost $1300 setup at $200/mo.

That sounds better, and around what I think he wants to spend at the top of his scale (setup fee) and I will run it by him. Does that include a control panel, or setup of his domains (a handfull) as I think he might need it.

-BW

You can have webmin (GPL) installed free on the server or Plesk (up to 10 domains) for $50/mo add'l

If your friend is willing to go with two 30GB IDE Harddrives, then I can offer you through one of our partners the following pricing:

6-month contract prepaid:
Setup $1250
Monthly $200/mo

12-month contract prepaid:
Setup $1250
Monthly $170

All servers include a full license of Smart Hosting Controller from http://www.smarthostingtools.com for free.

Who would that server be with?

BW, you even have several choices! Contact me at sales@smarthostingtools.com

After only getting a few replies I think he says he might now consider running dual 30 gig IDE drives. What would you all quote for this.
