Dedicated Server Suggestions
Hi, I am in need of a dedicated server. I currently run 3 large websites 1 forum and 2 database driven websites that have a combined total of around 250 users online at all times. I am looking for something relativlely cheap $60-140 range. I am also looking for a 100mbit uplink and plenty of BW. I am currently averaging around 33-34gb per day. I don't know exactly how much CPU and Memory I am consuming due to the fact that I get no reports over at 1and1...
Any recommendations on what type of configuration would be right for me would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you are a host, offers will also not go un-noticed.
Thanks.

In the offers forum check for Layered Tech offers, they're a great service and very cheap. One thing to keep in mind is the servers are 100% self-managed so make sure you know how to manage servers before you buy.

Thats not an issue, thanks for the tips. I am looking at 1-800-Hosting now. They have some pretty good deals on servers. I will also check out Layered Tech.

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/request.php is a nice place to start.
Spending a few dollars more might be money well spent.

I am looking for un-managed. I checked out ServerMatrix, my friend has a server there (he got on when they were not that expensive). So far I am almost decided on 1-800-Hosting.

I am most likely going to go with Layertechs dual core 2.8ghz, 1gb of ram, 160gb hdd, and 1500gb transfer on a 100mbit uplink.
How does that look? I have heard that Dual Core is not really as powerful as one would think, and that it's only slightly faster then a single core HT processor... Can anyone chime in please?
Thanks

A few of my buddies have dedicated dual xeon gaming box's at Layertech. They host at Databank in D.C and have another datacenter that I can't remember in D.C as well. I have not heard anything bad about them. I think I got a good deal, and I am very happy. They just called to confirm the order. I even managed to get a 36gb 15,000 RPM Scsi drive thrown in free of charge.

It was yes, but I had to call in and make sure it was a 15k. He said most of their drives are 10k, but I requested a 15k and he said it was not a problem. I got a good deal, can't wait till it's ready!
