    Hello

    I have been looking for a good dedi server provider with reasonable price without sacrificing quality

    I found defconhost.com

    Their dedicated plans are located here: http://defconhost.com/dedicated.html

    Specs:
    Pentium 4 3.2GHz
    2 GB DDR Ram
    500 GB SATA Drive
    5 Terabytes of Premium Bandwidth
    Free Monthly Security Audits!
    Free Monitoring
    dDoS Protected Network
    Linux, BSD or Windows

    I inquired via email I got reply the day after. They do not have billing script installed or set up and want me to insted send payment to via Paypal

    First question, has anyone here tried defconhost?

    Second question, is it safe to purchase a dedi server using Paypal? Is there a chance for me to get my money back in case this is a scam?

    I desperately need all your help / inputs. Thank you so much

    While, in general, I've never had any problems paying for my servers with Paypal, it's always best to do some research on the company first, try to find some reviews and such, before you make a decision. Also be careful if something seems too good to be true (obviously).

    If you decide you do not with to go with them and need a dedicated server with someone else, please let me know and I'll be glad to help. Thanks. :)

    Well, what is your budget? Those specs you posted for that price is actually a pretty insane deal that most probably couldn't beat with solid support and server components and whatnot. If you truly wanted 'unmetered', you wont find it for cheap. But if you are looking for a lot of very fast bandwidth, you can try midphase.com. I have personal experience with them and they are great. You get a full dedicated non-shared 100Mbit line with 10 TB bandwidth, but their cheapest server is $200 without management or a control panel.

    Otherwise I can easily quote you on a system that's cheaper that has a 10Mbit dedicated non-shared unmetered line (about 3300 GB bandwidth) if you are interested. Thanks. :)

    Why do you want to host your website to a company (defconhost.com) that ripping other company image (fusednetwork.com)? :confused: They even can't afford to buy the web hosting template and all of their testimonials are taken from other website :eek:
