Finally found a good deal for myself on a dedicated server today.. heh.. but i dont know 1 thing. Whats the pro and cons of a 384K dedicated connection versus a 115GB transfer limit??? They both seem pretty good to me... which would all of you prefer???

(the highest traffic site on the server would be a something like a vbulletin site like webhostingtalk.com)

wish luck~
:eek:

Don't get a capped line. Get a burstable connection. Then you will be safe. As long as you can burst, you can have the flexibility.

Definitely stay away from a capped line if you can. If your line is capped and you get a traffic surge, your site's performance will be impaired.

Thanks for the comments :D .. i went for the 115GB transfer.

Hehe, 384 seems a lot when you're on a 28.8 :eek:

115GB is a lot no matter what connection you're on. :) Definitely better than a capped line.

Out of curiosity, where did you get your server?
