Dedicated on a budget
100mbps / Decent network speed / 99.5% Uptime
Cpanel / WHM
1000GB+ Transfer, monthly.
Preferably -> 1GB ram.
Decent Cpu speed.
Usual programs awstats etc etc.
Budget $50 Inclusive.
so far brief look layeredtech are doing one for $69 >_< bit over my budget and testing their network its a bit slow from london. 1.5mb download rate i achieved on an 8mb connection.Last edited by pagekeeper; 10-27-2006 at 07:54 PM.

I almost can guarantee you will not get that unless you have a low low processor thats like a Pentium 3 <1 GHz.
I have a P3 1 GHz with 512 mb ram and 1000 gb xfer from exportal.pl for $35. I'm sure they can do something for you.AS395558

cPanel/WHM alone costs $25-30/m. The power of the server alone costs over $20/m. You can do the math I would agree with Douglas. Unless you're fine with an absolutely low end processor, then you can probably get something decent within your budget.

pagekeeper, If you are ready to compromise for VPS, providers are there with that low budget.

Pagekeeper,
I think you are stuck. You need to increase your budget to $70ish like at LT. It's about your only solution, to be honest in my eyes.AS395558

Hosting 20 sites, VPS will not be sufficient!
Try versaweb.net as they offer at very low price.
But I do not have any feedback or review.Silicon

pagekeeper, you can manage the server yourself? If not, that budget needs to be raised to $130'ish then just to get a company like PlatinumServerManagement involved. There is a lot of work to do for a dedicated server.

Try doubling your budget if you really want Cpanel involved..if not..try getting a server with a free panel

actually, i do run a forum, the database is about 60mb mostly posts not very busy as such.
I ordered a server from dedicatednow.com
Intel P3 1.13GHz
512MB RAM
80GB 7200RPM
5 IP Addresses
CentOS
1200GB Bandwidth
99.9% Uptime SLA
Sub $65
+ Cpanel / WHM $20
+ Fantastico $0
+ 100 Mbit Switch Port $10
Total $95
From the posts i read their support is good and the price is the cheapest i found for what i got / needed. i dont know wether its enough to run all my sites but i'll keep my reseller account for a while. Essentially, Douglas was right. The two reasons was because their upgrade options were good and their support are also good.
i have learned a lot about cpanel whm through my reseller account, but i dont know how secure a server though, recommend any tutorials im sure they have some on their forums..Ash.

Ash... securing a server isn't just following a few simple tutorials, or your home PC. I think you jumped the gun by ordering a server. You can ask DN to secure it for you, assuming thats part of their management deal

I didnt take management but i have asked for them to secure my server. Im sure its not as hard as you make it out to be
Securing also isn't a one-time thing - you need to perform constant updates, etc. or you're pretty much asking to be hacked.

So are hacks quite often? Im guessing they are more frequent on a IRC sever?
Is there a service that can harden the server and keep it secure? thats cheaper..Ash.
