Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Looking for a couple of Dedicated Servers

[hchapman]

Hello,

I am looking for a some dedicated servers for my new business. Looking to host up to 500+ websites. Does anyone know of a reliable source? I appreciate it.

Mentioning things like a budget, required location, O/S etc would be a wise start

Hi Jon, my apologies. I did not think I would get a response really!

My budget is approx. 1k/mo. I would need cpanel installed as well. Server must be very fast (memory, processor etc..) Server location could be USA or overseas. I would be ordering end of August.

You should be able to find several good providers with that budget. Best place to look is in the offers section here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=36

Are you needing the server managed too?

[hchapman]

No need for managed my tech will run the server. I will check out he mentioned section. Thanks for your help.

[hchapman]

I will speak to my tech tomorrow and give the full specs asap. I am not a tech savvy person, I just control the finances. I will be back with more answers. Thanks.

[JamieJ]

No problem. Good luck with your future endeavors! Let us know who you decide to go with.

For hosting just general websites, on an unmanaged server, $1k / mo is overkill, even for two high spec servers. I would say $200 - $250 / mo should give you a reasonably powerful unmanaged server with cpanel from most reputable hosts, so $400 - $500 for the pair is a more realistic budget, especially for just starting out.

Now, on the other hand, if you're already hosting these sites, and you happen to know the specs of what they're being hosted on, then we could give you more specific advice here, as the actual specs needed for two different people, whose only specification is "500 websites" can be vastly different.

You probably do not need to spend 1K for a server. Less than $500 is enough and you can use the rest of the money for advertising :-)

If you can share with us the hardware specifications, will be able to point you in the right direction.
Thanks.

I do believe 1paket.com will be fine for you, hchapman.
They have narrow dedicated server specialization and their pricing is affordable.
