Help me choose a dedicated
Hello Guys,
I am currently on a vps with power vps and they have been great but I think it is now time for a dedicated server. My stats below are for my VPS:
Centos 4
Equal share CPU
1GB Burst RAM
256MB RAM guaranteed
10GB Disk Space
150GB Monthly Transfer
2 IP numbers
Power Panel
cPanel/WHM (latest edition)
Fantastico De-Luxe
Clientexec
Your own name servers
Unlimited domains
Now the problem with this is that apache keeps crashing due the new memory mangement tool they just installed so it does not seem to be getting any more then 256.
I would prefer a company in canada however US does seem to have the best prices and reviews. I do not know much about server hardware but I would like a company that has excellent support like powervps and something that will hold my sites for a while.
Thanks for any sugggestions.

I assume you're familiar with unix distros (eg. CentOS) if you are using a VPS with cpanel/whm on it? If so, then you should be okay with an unmanaged server.

If you want to use your server for hosting websites only and no services that attracts a lot of ddos attacks, I strongly suggest you to go to fdcservers. They have very good prices on unmetered servers. You can expect to use from 15-28mbps on each server and their prices are very low. There are a lot of resellers from them you can even find here in the offer forums.
The only warning I give you is that they do not provide ddos mitigation. That's their only flaw from my point of view. Their support is great, free os reloads, free control panels, etc.

narrowing it down
So after about 12 hrs of looking for a server I am stuck deciding between theplanet and aplus and layeredtech. I do not know much about these companies and it seems people complain about both, I do realize that people are more likely to complain then complement a service.
Layeredtech seems to have the best price.
Any suggestions would help.Last edited by datarecall; 01-24-2007 at 10:56 PM.

Hi,
For unmanaged, Layeredtech is an excellent choice.

Aplus are spammers (the company themselves spam to promote their own services) and they have a very bad reputation on these forums. You'd definitely be better off with either of the other two you mentioned.
