Looking for unmanaged dedicated servers in the UK
Hi everyone.
We're looking to diversify our network and we want to have several unmanaged dedicated servers in a range of datacenters, rather than putting all our eggs in just a few baskets.
There are a lot of providers out there, but we're rather picky when it comes to requirements, so was hoping to perhaps get some feedback about providers you may have used << snipped >>.
I'm aware that some of these often normally come at an additional cost, and that's no problem, provided we know what those costs are we can budget for them.
Here's my must-haves list:
- Must be located in the UK
- Must have KVMoIP/DRAC/iLO/IPMI/similar remote console and reboot controls
- Must have at least 8 cores
- Must have at least 16GB RAM
- Must have at least 2x500GB storage w/hardware RAID 1
- Must have at least 100mbps port
- Must have at least 5TB/month transfer allowance
- Must not have any silly traffic restrictions (eg Redstation's port 25 block)
- Must be able to provide multiple IPv4 addresses to each server (some existing hosts in our network have 16-32 IPs each)
- Must provide IPv6 connectivity (and sensible IPv6 range, not just 1 address) in addition to IPv4 connectivity
- Must respond to support tickets within a reasonable amount of time (ie hours -- not days, weeks, months)

UKServers.com seems like it may be a good match.
Had problems with UK2 in the past so going to give them a miss, and almost every other result Google returns on Fasthosts says it's best to avoid them (including many posts here on WHT).
Will spend some time checking out Heart, 1&1, and the offers forums.

Hi Paul, we need lots of IPs because these servers are going to be virtualisation hosts so we need to give each VM at least one unique IP. Some of the VMs we host run multiple SSL websites, complicating things further as they'll need one IP for each SSL website.
Looking forward to the day that IPv4 goes away and no-one has to worry about address space shortages anymore!

Best way forward would be to contact a number of potential providers and outline your expected specifications and IP requirements. There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to get everything you asked for and also prices for the extras going forward, such as extra IPs. That way you won't get bitten in the long run and probably a better than advertised deal!

Ended up giving UKServers a try, they seemed to be the best fit for this box and had a pretty good offer in the offers section here on WHT which was a nice bonus. Discovered quite a few new providers too, so have a pretty good pool of providers on my hitlist for future servers.
Thanks to everyone for the great input!
