I want to get a dedicated and sell as a storage spaces to ppl
which kind of dedicated server to fit a newbie?

How experienced with unix are you?

If you dont have a clue then go for a managed solution (but this will cost you more)

Otherwise go for a cheap one to learn on then think about a more serious package.

Then where can i find a cheap and *bad* server?

rackshack.net - $99 month
unitedcolo.net - $49 month

but unitedcolo.com dont have 49 dollars one orelse i bought one already!

rackshack..99 is too expensive for experience
anyone can share?

http://www.nocster.com/closeout.shtml 79$

and those 49$ servers are not available for a long time so i guess it is just a marketing trick.

why not buy a rubbish pc (150Mhz or something) and install linux .. no monthly fee then :)

All this people want to make lots of $$$. So they think "I'll just order a cheap server and sell space and makes lots of $$$!.".

Then they order the server and get the setup email


Hello Mr Newbie you can now access your server on the ip 127.0.01.


Then there totaly lost.



Back to darth..

Sorry but this is annoying. I have seen tons of threads with the title "I need cheap dedicated server". It's getting annoying now :bawling: if your serious about your business then save up the cash and pay more for quality!.

This has got to be my longest post ever! (and tons of spelling mistakes to) :D

The influx of newbies in the market is getting bigger everyday. I would hang around WHT and read up on how to do things- then ponder with a server. Start with a local machine with unix and learn.
