Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Liquidweb or the Planet?

[Branden]

I am looking at getting a dedicated server. I have a decent sized ecommerce site..but in all reality a dedicated server is likely overkill. Still I like having room to grow. I am looking for a linux setup (preferably red hat) with Cpanel. I need something managed...with decent support. I can do very basic stuff..but I am also busy owning a business..and do not have time to really figure out how to maintain a server. I need someone to answer questions quickly..or do it for me. Seems these the Planet and LiquidWeb are two of the biggest ones. I am gonna say support is the big issue here...who would be most likely to help me do whatever it takes to keep my site online no matter what.

If it means anything, I have heard many great things about LiquidWeb's level of support, although no personal experience.

I've had no direct experience with The Planet but I've had a VPS with Liquid Web for just over one year and am quite satisfied. Their support has been great, I especially like their 24/7/365 phone support.
