    Dedicated Server Providers

    Hello,

    I have been going through these forums all day and honestly I'm only more confused. I am looking for a dedicated Linux server to run my WordPress Websites. My customers are only U.S. Based, so I think a central location would be good, but I'm open to any U.S. Location. Server should have cPanel and be managed. I am trying to stay within a $200 per month budget. I have carefully looked at the older posts of recommended providers, but honestly these are the same providers that sponsors these forums, so who should I trust. Please give me your top 3 Dedicated Server Providers and why.

    It seems HiVelocity has the best deal in terms of Hardware but lacks in terms of location and only 5TB of Bandwidth.

    1 x Intel E3-1200 v2 Quad-Core Ivy Bridge Xeon 32GB DDR3 SSD (Intel DC S3500) / 160GB 100 Mbps port / 5 TB $99.00

    I am looking for the Best In Reliability and Uptime (As Close to No Downtime as possible - Biggest Factor).


    Thanks for your help!

    LiquidWeb is a good option. There may be slightly more expensive, but its definitely worth it if you want top notch management.

    Your budget looks good, I suggest you contact a few providers directly. Liquidweb is the only sponsor of WHT, everyone else are members just like yourself.

    And that price from HV is probably not managed.

    HiVelocity comes out to $155 Monthly Fully Managed cPanel. I should have also mentioned that SSD is preferred.

    You can try with limestone networks. They have good uptime. I saw they are offering high end servers for low budget.

    $180.00
    Up to 128GB RAM
    Up to 16 cores
    Up to 8 hard drives
    Up to 4TB per drive
    10TB Bandwidth Included


    If you can increase your budget little bit more they will manage your server.

    Does that mean the server can support up to all the addons listed above? sounds like a older processor?

    $200 is a good budget for your requirement, just check the config. that Hivelocity provided, feel there might have $10~15 flexible on price but you can get more, i.e. 100mbps port with unmetered bandwidth. Another

    I think HiVelocity has a good reputation here. Limestone is also pretty good. Limestone is in Dallas so it has a more central location.

    Thanks a lot for your endorsement. We appreciate it. You referenced our dual proc units by the way. Our single procs are naturally less expensive.

    Since you mentioned requirement of managed server, I would advise that you individually contact multiple providers ask each of them what they cover under their managed services and compare them.

    There is a lot of options I know it can seem overwhelming. You are doing due diligence which is a good start. I know you mentioned managed and good uptime. When you narrow down to fully managed providers you will notice your list of options gets generally smaller.

    I would contact who you can find and get a feel of what they can provide. Its almost like a marriage and you have to pre-date
