    I am looking at getting a dedicated server... actually I am definitely getting one in the next week. I am trying to find a good price, with great support.

    What would you pay for this set up--

    Dual Xeon Dual CPU
    4GB RAM
    10mbps Transfer
    11 Unique IP Addresses
    146GB SCSI drive
    Setup Fee Waived

    Does this forum have a member involved in hosting? Anyone have recommendations as to where to look?

    I spend about $140/m on a dedicated server at LunarPages- haven't had problems.

    The support team is a little frustrating sometimes. Be sure to buy the manual server reboot and a bit of extra ram if you go for a lower-priced plan.

    For a server like that, $180 might fly with me.

    If your looking for servers then you should check out Softlayer, The Planet, Serverbeach, iWeb, etc. Liquid Web is pretty nice as well.

    I know that Softlayer and The Planet have a great infrastructure. iWeb is in Canada. Server beach used to host Youtube.

    If you're on a budget, iWeb has some low priced servers but they don't have dual xeons.

    If your looking for a server with those specific specs, you should probably go to Softlayer or The Planet, but it won't come cheap.

    Otherwise, you can also take a look at Rackspace for Managed dedicated servers.

    thanks for the info guys.

    Ive been out of the game for a while, working another job and finishing school. I havent looked around at servers in a while. The people I used to know in the business, I can't track down. I have had an account with Webair for a long time, and they have been pretty good.

    The specs I gave above is what they offered me for $379. They have pretty good tech support. Too expensive?

    I am looking into server beach, they seem to be priced pretty well.

    Go to WebHostingTalk.com and click on Find a Host and get a host from there, they have the best hosts and you wont be scammed...
