    Question Need Recommendation For a Dedicated Server

    hi everyone,
    I need a dedicated server to run a windows application which is high server and bandwidth resource intensive.

    The following are some details about what I need:

    Budget: $100 or less
    Bandwidth: Atleast 10mbps & 3-5 TB per month minimum
    RAM:2-4 GB
    Processor: AMD or Intel but it should be powerful(Preferably core 2 duo)
    Hard Disk: 80-160GB
    OS:windows 2003
    Management: Semi Managed

    I had a look at a few like server.lu, volumedrive, ovh & kimsufi but dont know how reliable r they. Since i have emailed volumedrive with some questions 2 days back and still havent received a reply. Added the VD guy here on msn few hours back but not reachable yet. I just need windows installed on it and i'll install and run my application on the server. Nothing else i want to do on this server. Guys plz recommend whom should i go for as I'm really confused with so many options. I just need someone reliable and hardly any support after i get the windows OS installed by them unless there are some server issues from the hosts side.

    Thanks Everyone,
    Farhan.

    they all seem to have what i want but i dont know which ones are reliable and will actually deliver. Also the the host needs to be a bit lenient as i want to run a forum promotion application(nothing illegal) but they shouldnt shut down if they receive a few spam complaints.

    I recommend taking a look at Limestone Networks, they should be able to give you a great deal within the budget.

    Note: You said 10mbps with 3-5tb. On 10mbps for a month running at maximum usage, you can't get passed around 3.5tb usage. I'm pretty sure that either 100mbps with 3tb bandwidth, or 10mbps with unlimited bandwidth is included. (I suggest going for 100mbps, it's worth it.)

    They are unmanaged, but they always go out of their way to help users more than they have to.

    I have a few servers from them and they have been great.

    In that case you better tell your hoster that you are going to run such a script.

    If i m right then you would want to run x*****. In that case most your server would be taken down instantly. As this application is considered spamming by most host.

    hi Josh(Volume Drive),
    I am writing here since again I have stopped getting replies to my emails. I payed you on monday and u said the server should be up in 24-48 hours. Now it has been around 66 hours and I havent received the server yet. To make things worse you have stopped replying to my emails and giving me updates. I did not want to write this here, but there is no other way to contact you.
    Plz respond immediately and I want the server right now.

    Sincerely,
    Farhan.

    Farhan,

    You should really give volumedrive the opportunity to respond before posting issues on a public forum.

    Also, this attitude is not necessary:

    If you have issues, take it up with them personally. I am sure that would appreciate that more than having to respond to posts on a forum.

    that is not about attitude. It was said after waiting for 48 hours.
    The message was posted on the public forum after repeated attempts to contact failed.

    Farhan,

    48 hours is not a lot of time to wait before flaming someone on a public forum. Volumedrive should have kept you updated.

    Anyway, I am glad to hear your problems are now resolved with VolumeDrive.

    I never flamed anyone. This was just another option to contact them
