Leaving FDC, where to go?
Guys,
Due to the problems with FDC, that in fact started since the first day I got my server up, I'm leaving them, and need a new dedicated host as soon as possible.
My budget is 200$/mth MAX, with at least 400GB bandwidth and a 40GB hard disk, minimum 512MB ram, and CPanel (if the server has no control panel, maximum monthly fee must not go over 155$).
The most attractive offer is eServers.biz, but they've currently ran out of servers 'till Friday next week. Although it is possible for me to wait, the sooner I get out of FDC's DC, the better.
Any tips are welcome!

Why not Nocster then?
I've had great service and support from them.There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

fastservers.net 's toll free phone number list is pretty impressive.
That probably means they're there for real.
I personally have no experience with them and would like to find out more about them

eservers.biz once they get some new servers in. Talked to their people for a bit over email and their response times are out of this world (I got replies after about 2 minutes at various times of day).

Have you tried http://www.smartwebservice.net
If you email them, they'll probably have you a server setup in about < 48 hours depending on spec. Other than that, I would recommend waiting for eServers. Both companies attractive pricing and support. Point to note: SWS offer managed servers at probably the same price as eservers offer unmanaged, so your choice on that one.

Haven't you been using RackShack? Why not go with one of their Celeron boxes?

If you can wait go with eservers.biz or tranxactglobal the service is great the techs are top notch. It is well worth the wait time and you will be able sleep nights.
I can't recomend them highly enough.

PIII 866 GHZ
512 ram
30 GIG hd
unlimited IP's (according to ARIN's rules)
WebMin
400 gigs of transfer
$499 per month with a $400 setup fee
That looks a heck of a lot more expensive than eservers..... Did I miss something

They haven't updated their website.. email them and they have some amazing deals for the new Tampa datacenter. Also check the specials forum and you will see some of what they are offering very cheap (with cPanel / WHM)

That deal really caught my eye last week...
No setup, good system specs, 600gigs ... with a well respected host... might be worth looking into. Seems to have what you're looking for at less than what you wanted to spend.
Good luck.
