I have been doing some research on a few places that I would like to get a dedicated server from. I have seen ServerOutsource.NET in one of the forums here before but I am unable to find them by doing a search. What I was wondering is if anyone has any good/bad opinions of them. I am interested in them mainly because they are located in FL. I plan on moving there when I retire and would like a datacenter in FL near where I will live. I have the choice narrowed down to ServerOutsource.NET or UnitedColo. The only drawback is they are in CA. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I think the search option has been modified to exclude serveroutsource or serveroutsource.net. Doing a search on those terms doesn't even find this thread. I'd be curious to know what people think as well though!

I think this post is bad or something because if you look at the icon for it it is an envelope with a dot on it. Does anyone know what that means?

It seems like the search index needs to be rebuilt or something.

Or maybe they're blocked for some reason ... keep in mind this forum is owned by RackShack.

1. Rackshack wouldn't do that
2. I don't even know if you can block things for people to search for...

Actually it's owned by Robert Marsh, the CEO of Rackshack. I believe he's running it as two different companies and I haven't noticed any bias towards rackshack. Threads about them have negative views that haven't been deleted or edited in any way. So I really think it's more with something to do with the search index.

You can see what I had to say about them here:
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showth...threadid=89071
I have 3 servers with them, first since July, last since last week. I'm presently in the midst of renumbering to switch over to their Aleron-issued IPs, which is a pain, but I'd still give them a thumbs up. The hardware has been rock-solid.
p.s. The obvious catch on the $49 server is that it needs a memory upgrade in a big way, at least by my standards. I have two 1GHz durons from them with 1GB of memory each, and THOSE are quite nice.
EDIT: Please note the "by my standards." I know linux will run with 128MB. So does the computer under my desk. I just need more for what I'm doing with my 1GHz Durons. YMMV of course.

CirKit,
Thank you.
Our $49/Month server was actually created to match the specs, and pricing of a competitor.
Since we received allot of request for it, we made it a regular offering.
FreeBSD seems to run ok on the 128Mb.

linux works well with 128mb, even with X.
but as apollo said, depends on what you'll be running on there.
best regards,

I have 2 dedicated servers with serveroutsource.net and am happy with them. The IP changes were a pain... but notice was given and I plan to stay with them as I get good support and generally no problems at all. I will be getting a 3rd server from them in the next few months.
