hi!
Today Im a reseller using a reseller plan of other company.

Im looking to get my own server with Cpanel/ to manage it.
I saw some post in WHT and I get as a conclusion that for my situation ist better to get a managed server.

I review nocster.com and dedicatednow.com and I get some doupts about it:

as additional featurtes in nocster I see some thing that confuse me: I need a firewall ? they are not secure ? How I managed backups ?
What you recomend that I really need ?
regards

If you want a fully managed server you should probably check out rackspace.com but they are a bit expensive.

I know that dedicatednow.com does not offer manage servers, they just answer what they say is 95% of your support questions.

I don't have any experience with nocster but if you are running a server, you definitely need a firewall and backups are recommended.

Some cool server config. :)

i might be wrong but doesn't cpanel add firewall and backups if you would like? (I Kno it is slightly off the topic)

WHM/Cpanel install comes with Portsentry included and backup is disabled by default.
