    Hi Everyone,

    I would like to get a whole bunch of DP members together and do a bulk dedicated server purchase. If you are interested, please PM what your requirements would be (server #s, processor, HD, ram, control panel software, etc..)

    This would be good for someone who is looking to get their first dedicated server and wants to get in on a good price. Also great for someone who is fed up with their current provider.

    If enough people are interested we should be able to take advantage of some pretty good prices. Once I get a rough idea of how many people are interested I can post what we can expect to be paying. We would be going with higher end stuff, so if you are in the "less than $100 range" this is not for you. Also, if you are planning on keeping the server for a month or two this is not for you (looking for a 6-month minimum contract.)

    I used to be a reseller for EV1 (the planet) but after the merger I left because of terrible customer service. I have two other companies in mind for who we could go with but would love some feedback from others on who you think we should buy from.


    Hope to hear from you soon,
    Mike

    Please PM me what server configuration you can deal in with. I am ready to buy(not rent) whole servers (Intel based) if the rates are affordable.

    I wonder if you'd be able to buy server off...generally they are on rent.

    Yeah, rent is what I am referring to- I don't know about purchasing servers
