    Hello Friends..
    Just bought a new dedicated server from my host.

    The config is
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz
    3GB of RAM
    320GB SATA SCSI HDD
    2048GB Monthly Bandwidth
    WHM/cPanel License
    5 Dedicated IP Address

    All this in $250/month. Am I loosing?

    I am running a vBulletin forum on this server. How many simultaneous visitor can it withstand? I am currently getting about 12K daily unique and 2500 returning visits with 35K pageviews.

    The server should do for what you are trying to achieve, however, it does seem over priced. Is it fully managed as well?

    I think the price is too high for server with that specification.
    You can find better server with lower price also.
    Google is your friend.

    Yeah..
    It has a fully managed server from a Offshore Hosting Company.
    In a matter of fact, I am hosting a warez forum with them. So, should there be any price difference for hosting warez stuffs?

    You can get a intel i7 cpu with at least 8gb for that kind of money, some DCs offer similar configurations for lower than $100

    I have many 'offshore' servers, this is a typical price for a server with these specs in the carribbean or latin america (with servers that are actually located there).

    If you don't need the location, find another provider. Other services are cheaper.

    That sounds overpriced - but for warez and offshore you may be stuck with it.
    See if they can bump the memory a bit.

    So, you say, hosting warez makes a difference in price?
    It seems I am being robbed. :(
    Should I have made some researches before paying them for a whole year?

    Man, that feels real sad.

    The prices people are referring to are probably from on-shore companies. The price is about average.

    I suggest you to buy a Server to OVH or Kimsufi.
    If you want a offshore server, buy a server to Leaseweb Datacenter.
