    Hello,

    Very soon I'll lauch a site and I'm looking for a fully managed dedicated server under $200 per month.

    Any server with linux, quad core processor and a minumum of 2gb.

    The only hosting I found with these requirement is servint.net. I always read good reviews from they VPS plans but not for dedicated servers.

    Any reviews for their dedicated plans? How good and fast are they to resolve problems? Their security?

    I'm also very worried with DDOS, do they have a good protection against these attacks?

    thanks.

    I'm using their VPS plan, and I'm sure it's no different from their dedicated server in term of support and security.

    Their support is awesome, take less than 5 minutes to respond to the support ticket and fix the problem.

    They do have DDOS mitigation technology but I can't recall what hardware they're using though.

    And about their security? DDOS protection?

    I use CSF firewall on VPS to stop DDOS attack. DDOS cannot be prevented 100% with software, but it still helps though.

    For large DDOS attacks CSF firewall is not enough. But I believe that they should have a cisco hardware firewall.

    Yeah...that's why I mentioned with software it can't protected you 100% from DDOS . You can ask them what hardware firewall they're using.

    For my situation, CSF firewall have done a great job.
