Dedicated Server Recommendations Needed

Discussion in 'Web Hosting' started by BlueEew, Aug 16, 2008.

    I need a very good provider. Managed Dedicated Server.

    Needs to match the features of the Elite Host Gator Package.

    I am looking for all of the features of the Elite plan. However if possible on a lower monthly cost. Can anyone point me in a good direction?

    Thanks,
    BlueEew.

    I strongly recomendend you to stay away from Caro.net, their servers and speed is amazing!

    But their support team is pure assholes as soon as your issues and problems starts to get a bit deeper then "restart my server please"...

    Thanks will check them out.

    That package looks great. Have you tried this personally? I see your a host, and I also am wanthing the server to start hosting.

    I know that Host Gator is one of the best hosters. However is it possible to get the same quality servers from elsewhere?

    Hostgator actually use theplanet.com for their servers!

    So could be a good idea to go directly with the root provider instead of using a middle man like Hostgator ?

    Take a look at http://www.server4you.net it's a great company friendly support and their prices just rock!

    I've had 3 servers there for over 3 years now and I wouldn't switch for nothing in the world. They've bent back and front anytime I needed something special done. If you order something tell them the guy who runs www.wetubeforsports.com sent you :)

    IwhiC actually uses Caro.net Servers. I don't know exactly if this is the server plan they use or not.

    Yes I have about 9 servers from caro ( we started with this server and now only have the 8 cores) and there support goes well above and beyond what is expected.. They have fixed things and done this with out hesitation that were fault of me... I would not have been with them for over a year and have that many servers with them if the support sucked.. They offer free remote reboots (which is nice) and support tickets are answered promptly (no matter what it is)

    Talk with Mark Memmer or Jason Brozena form sales tell them we sent you a (iwhic) and they will hook you up. They will even try and get you a deal on the extra ram and bw if you need more.

    I think cpanel runs 30.00 a month on top of that price

    We have a few servers at JustEdge.net and Sentris.com

    Both are great providers and can find some good deals around, on WHT too.

    On JustEdge.net you can any of their servers with I think its 25% off, use the code "SUMMER2008".

    They have great servers, run on a fast network and good support team.

    They are also providing free cPanel or DirectAdmin at current, so thats their Dedicated Server DSQ6600 for $165.99 with a good control panel :).

    I'm getting great download speeds and responses from the network at JustEdge IwhiC. Been with them for a few months on a few servers and they are for great support too.

    Sentris has really shapped up too recently.

    Well it is a personal choice , when I am use to having tickets answered and fixed with in minutes (caro) and then when we had servers at the other to no replies for 8 hours at just edge that was not cutting it..(for a simple reboot at that)(the support was ok for the first month or so) then being told that it is not part of their management to do what needed to be done.. We ended up having to pay for an external management for the server there. but then it was still hours for a reboot to be done.

    Caro has spoiled us and we will never leave them....

    It is all a personal choice, what your needs are. Are choice is Caro, and always will be If i could afford their unmetered bw servers i would move my proxy servers to them as well. (maybe in time)

    I would just talk to the sales reps at all places and go from there.

    BlueEew,
    This one will fit the Elite Server from HG -

    Server from LiquidWeb (100% network uptime guarantee, 30 min Hardware Replacement Guarantee, 1 hour Support response guarantee , normally 5 - 10 min)

    HG guarantees 99.9% network uptime , & they do not own the servers, they resell them for ThePlanet.
    They also take 6 hours for support responses (from what I have read) & do not have any Hardware replacement guarantee.

    I would suggest this LiquidWeb server
    # AMD X2 5000+ (better than the dual core xeon, imo)
    # 4GB RAM
    # 3,200GB Premium Tier1 Bandwidth
    # 160GB SATA Main Drive
    # 160GB SATA Backup Drive
    # FREE Setup!
    # cPanel/WHM + Fantastico + XController
    # 20 free IPs (more can be received for free, I think)
    # Free Remote Reboot port
    # Free SSL certificate on your server hostname (for secure cPanel/WHM logins)

    https://www.liquidweb.com/cart/content/dedicated/Webmaster/Plan2

    Price: $279/mon

    I can get it to you for just $219/month

    Let me know,

    Ishan
