Really need a dedicated host recommendation
Hi Everyone,
First I wanted to say how valuable a forum this is. I’ve been lurking for year and have always for really good information on the forum, but now I need some help.
I know I can search the offers section, but I would really like to hear some recommendations of a good US dedicated host.
I currently have a server with SoftLayer and I’m ready to move on. The server is over 3 years old and is on its last legs. SoftLayer is OK, but I’m looking for something a little more economical.
My current config is a Windows 2008 R2 Dual Xeon 5405 2.0GHZ Quad Core (total 8). 12 GB Ram and 280 GB Drive. I currently have a 4000 GB data plan but average less than half of that. I do anticipate higher usage this year so a 10TB plan will be best.
I would like something that faster with about 16GB of ram and at least 500GB SAS 15k drives, but would settle for SATA. I would like to stay around $200.00 per month unmanaged.
Any suggestions you have is much appreciated.
Thanks

A decent E3-series should help you save a lot of money already compared to a dual cpu setup.

Thanks for the reply. In the US on the east coast is preferable. Thanks!

The OP state that he needed 10TB of bandwidth ( more or less ). I can't think of many hosts that could deliver dual CPU setups for $200 but I'll reply if I find one.

I am curious if the Windows license is included in your expected budget? About how many IPs would you need?

I must Clarify , I never meant to create a confusion here.
QPS & OPLINK both are top notch ( Distinct & Separate ) providers and Grouping them together was just a matter of chance.XiNiX™ InfoTech Pvt. Ltd. [ USA - UK - NL - SG - IN ] : 15+ Years of Service ( Since 2005 )

I suggest having a look at Limestone Networks for self-managed servers. I've had equipment with them for nearly two years now. Very solid & reliable hardware/network and the staff is awesome to work with. http://limestonenetworks.com/
