    Low Spec/Budget Dedicated Needed

    Hi there,

    Can anyone recommend any low spec/budget dedicated server providers? We intend to use them for things like off-site backups, dedicated nameservers, etc.

    EDIT: Specification wise, we're looking for something like a dual core with 2GB RAM. Ideally for less than $100/month.

    We've been using Joes Datacenter for some time, but we're honestly not happy with the reliability. We see/detect frequent downtime a few times a month.

    I've used FDC servers for most of my budget stuff. They have a backup server special going for $40 with some ridiculous amount of inbound bandwidth.

    Any preferred locations? If this server is for backup purpose, it should be close to your main servers so that you can get good inbound speed.

    No preferred locations. I'm aware that for backups the closer the better, but for things like nameservers it's a non-issue.

    Where are your main servers located now? so we can narrow to the location. With $100/mo, you have many options.

    I'm not too concerned about location at all. Just looking for a list of providers or recommendations.

    I'd recommend Volumedrive, after their big sale is over. They're usually fast to respond, but a bit busy at the moment.

    I'd also recommend Wholesale Internet - even though they're in the same building, they're completely different on a reliability level - separate networks, power, etc.

    BurstNET comes to mind...

    Tailor Made Servers (clearance servers, ask TMS - JoseQ what's left)...

    Ubiquity Servers (http://overstock.ubiquityservers.com)

    WholeSaleInternet (we use them for a VPN... pretty reliable.)

    Before you go too into other hosts, I have been using ServerStadium for a couple months now and their hosting is great.

    Cheap and budget dedicated servers with almost no down time (knock on wood)

    Here's a few which I would personally recommend...

    BurstNET
    FDCServers
    DedicatedNOW

    Other than that, I've not really checked out many other providers directly. Those are cheap and their service is not too bad.

    Hello,

    I'd recommend ColoStore. Couldn't ask or go with for a better Data Centre.

    We've been with them for three or so months now, and they've bent over backwards for us. We were renting a dedicated machine with them, but were so satisfied with their services. We decided to send them our servers for colocation three weeks after.

    Hope that helps.

    ProviderService have been great to me! 4 months with them now, and not a single problem.

    Go with Basic0 configuration and you'll get 250GB of RAID1 protected storage, which should be plenty for backup purposes. Their network is 100MBps and you can use full speed at any time.

    You can always give corenetworks a try, they have dual cores starting from $30/mo, and some other servers starting from $25/mo.

    Check out eUKhost. They have some cheapish low end spec servers. They have very good uptime.
