Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : DialTones latest specials

[MDB]

DialTone posted their new specials today. The two following specials interest me.

Linux RedHat Server w/Pentium 233 MMX, 64MB RAM, 6.4 GB EIDE;
Drive, 10/1003COM Network Card, 50GB of Bandwidth, Unmetered IP's

$0/Setup $159/Month

Linux RedHat Server w/Celeron 333, 64MB RAM, 6.4 GB EIDE Drive,
10/100 3COMNetwork Card, 50GB of Bandwidth, Unmetered IP's

$0/Setup $189/Month

Which would be the best to host about 12 domains all with moderate cgi usage?

ps - Chicken where have you been stranger?

Either would work just fine. For the extra 30$ I would go for the Celeron. I have a linux server at Dialtone with the following specs:

Cleron 366
128 Megs ram
6.4 gb IDE drive
etc..

I have around 30 domains on it and it is very fast. I would recommend upgrading the ram to 128 though. The more the better.

I have been very happy with my server (going on 2 months)

Just to let you know that a lot of people will recommend a P3 600 and up with at least 256 megs of ram, but you have to ask yourself, "do I need that much". If you're planning on running a hosting company and want to put anywhere from 200-300 accounts on each server than "yes" you do need that much power, otherwise the specials you mentioned above will most definitely be more than you will need.
