    Looking for UK dedicated server.

    Hi there,

    Hoping someone can point me in the right direction, my knowledge is limited on server specs in general, but learning!

    I'm looking for a dedicated server with the following criteria

    min of 1GB Ram (I'm using about 750mb with my vps right now.)
    UK based server
    24/7 support
    99.9% uptime, do any claim 100%?
    I'd need some kind of interface too, such as plesk or cpanel
    And of course as fast as possible http://www.webhostingtalk.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Budget is max £100 per month.


    I'm currently on 34sp vps, I'm considering staying with them and going to one of their dedicated servers, but I want to get the best possible value for that £100 so I'm willing to move elsewhere if it means better load times and uptime.

    Any suggests will be appreciated.

    Take a look in the offers section you'll see UK servers from:

    Veloxserv
    RackSRV
    pcsmartgroup

    Typically you can get a dual core from those for around £40-£50. cPanel is extra

    Do you maybe know how much hard drive space you will need and how much bandwidth you will be accumulating?

    Check out hostdime, their based from the bluesquare datacenter.

    They have a dual core xeon offering for under 100pounds

    http://www.hostdime.co.uk/web-hosting/dedicated/

    or

    you could go with their vps3 option which comes with cpanel for under 60pounds a month

    http://www.hostdime.co.uk/web-hosting/vps/



    I believe their vpses are still hosted on dual quad xeons with raid 10 the xeons have hyperthreading which will show 16cpus and add extra performance.

    also if you get a dedicated server with hostdime they can sell you inhouse cpanel licenses which is cheaper than anywhere else i have seen.

    I do indeed, I don't currently have any dedicated servers with them though, but I did have 3 hosted with them in the last year or so.
