I would recommend tomsyer.net for managed.com servers since they provided added support especially since managed.com only has support from 9AM - 5PM

-> Are you new with servers or have you actually had experience?

I have learned from many WHT users and by posting my own thread, that Managed.com works as a company by which "you get what you pay for."

Basically, thus in sense, you wont plan to get the support when your server goes down. There have also been many horror stories with Managed.com, but I am not trying to bash them completely. If you are on a major budget, try them out, but dont bust into the hosting business offering 99.99% uptime using them.

There are many great server companies from ev1servers (totally unmanaged but as low as $99ish), to resellers of the gnax data center.

Just another opinion, you want:

a) Good support
b) Great network
c) 1000GB monthly transfer
d) 1GB ram
e) 120GB hdd

For under $100? You'd be hard-pressed to find a credible company for so little, but if you do be sure to let us know

Good luck and welcome to WHT!
