Can any one recommend companies that provide good servers with low bandwidth?
Im looking at wanting a personal server just to host my personal sites and projects im working on and maybe host a few friends. Trying to managed my own server and have some fun.
Im wanting a linux server with a P4 2Ghz or atleast a P3 with 1Ghz. Ram like 512.
With nice pings of course but bandwidth.. I just need atleast 30gigs.. proberly wont ever go above 50gb.
Cpanel also.
Any one know by any chance if any GOOD KNOWN companies offer this kind of service for like under $100 a month?

I wouldn't recommend nocster. I've had nothing but trouble with them. I've moved to www.globaldc.com they're very good but most importantly cheap. They have excellent support. Do not mind helping. Give services for free which other companies will charge you $100 a time for. All in all a very good deal.

Prior to the downtime that Nocster had the other week, they were always very good for me, and I have no seen any outage announcements since. Also, their support is excellent compared to many other server companies.

I just talked to support on globaldc and the site wasn't down but they are upgrading the httpd the site should be back very soon. By the way gives you an idea of the speed of the support.

Hello, I own Global Datacenter, and would like to clear a few things up.
#1, site was not down, restarting http so some ip blocks would take effect.
#2, I am not selling servers saying their 3 megabit and only putting them on a 1.5 megabit connection. I said they were LOAD BALANCED, thus means a single person cannot use more then 1.5megabit, however, total is still 3 Megabits.
#3, Connection utilization is about 10-15 average% at peak hours.
Thanks,

If you're just looking for hosting and the ability to mess around as root, a VPS is exactly what you want. You get full root, but you don't have the costs of a dedicated server.

#1, We do have network firewalls,
#2, If attack was from single ip, it would still leave half our bandwidth unaffected.
#3, We have spoken to Cogent in extent on this, they stated they would be willling to block attacks at CO level for us
Thanks,
Global Datacenter
[EDIT] And for backups of servers on our network, we offer low cost backup solution, so their backups would transfer at port speed of the server, not 1.5 megabits.Global Datacenter
