Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Your opinions on Godaddy's Dedicated Hosting (reliability only, not support)

[DCV©]

Hello all, I am looking for a cheap dedicated hosting service for my forum, which has
50k unique pageviews per day
15k plus members
It is a medium size forum

I want something around 90 bucks per month, core 2 duo would be nice, 2TB, and the rest doesn't matter much

So I have heard A LOT of negative reviews about GoDaddy's customer support and I agree. But I can get help at other places so that doesn't bother me much. I only want to know if their uptime is 99.9% like they say.
Godaddy customers (on Dedicated) please give some advise

My problem with GoDaddy is that everything is an add-on. When you look at their cheap dedicated boxes, and add a control panel, such as cPanel, you add $39.99 at GoDaddy, where I examined a configuration that's $99.99 per month standard. Alas, it's also limited to 1TB bandwidth.

100tb.com has a cloud server that offers loads of room for expansion, with 10TB bandwidth, at $98 a month. Consider cloud servers similar to VPS, but since they encompass more than a single server, you don't have the risk of losing service if a single box goes down. cPanel is $25 extra a month, which is pretty good for that package.

Then again, a low cost VPS package might be suitable. A Level 6 VPS at HostGator is similarly priced, but with only 1.8TB bandwidth. But if it's just a forum, even a TB is more than sufficient and you could probably get something decent for $40-50.
