Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Need Dedicated Servers (Download Static Content) 1and1, GoDaddy, ...

[silver!]

Hi All!

Ok, I'm a few lost about which dedicated server to choose.

First, I need 2 dedicated servers. These servers are only to download static content.

Downloadable files are small (50-400k).

I'll use lightweight server.

If there are too many user, I'll buy another server.

I search for excellent uptime, US server and fast download server.


I've visited some popular web hosting but if you know better, lets me know


1and1
Price (Root Server): $99
CPU: Single Core AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2 GHz
RAM: 1 GB
HD: 2 x 160 GB
Bandwidth: 2,000 GB
Bandwidth Cap: 100 Mbps


GoDaddy
Price: $68
CPU: Celeron 2.0GHz
RAM: 1GB
HD: 1 x 120GB
Bandwidth: 500GB
Bandwidth Cap: 10-20 Mbps


Also, the price between 1and1 and GoDaddy is $31 but 1and1 give more on cpu, hd, bandwidth(4x), connection...

One of my question is 1and1 offers a average price for dedicated server or GoDaddy spends a part of money with Amanda, Candice and Danica?

Do you have some suggestion for dedicated server or web hosting?

Thanks!

Hi,

Search about that hosts here to have an idea of the said hosts, and yes, search the offers forum. Do you need a Managed or Unmanaged? Any budget limitations?

Good Luck.

Cheers,

It also depends on the amount of users, if you buy all of your servers from godaddy and you hit your 500gb cap then you'll be buying more and more servers, just my take.

EvilMan: I'll check.

WebbyCart: Unmanaged if it's possible. No really budget limitations.

So what is the most important factor for you?

-hardware?
-bandwidth?

If you only need 2000GB you can get it for around 50$ in the the offer forum.

if you call 1and1 dedicated server support at this instant, this is what you get:
"to avoid the inconvenience of an extended wait, please call back at a later time"

And it hangs up on you. Is that the sort of support you want when your server is down and 20 people are calling YOU about it?

You can buy bandwidth from GoDaddy in 500GB increments for $19.99/m. Gotta pre-pay this as going over will cost you much more (as with any company I've ever seen).
