Where should I go to get a reliable Windows 2003 with MSSQL on it? I don't need real fast specs, but need a reliable machine with raid and perhaps two power supplies, and remote backup.

Thank you,
Kyle

I was very happy with the reliability of my dual Xeon boxes at ThePlanet. I only left ThePlanet to get my own cabinet and servers. RAID would be an extra cost, dual power supplies are kind of a waste there unless you control the cabinet that the server is housed in. I don't know if they still offer them, but my dual Xeons were in a blade server which should have redundant power supplies already. They also have remote backup via NAS / FTP included.

I recommend Softlayer. Of all the hosts I've been with they're turning out to be the best for me. That's not the case with everyone but it is something to consider.
