Hi All I am about to buy my first dedicated server for a proxy network ! I have norrowed it down between tow options the budget and the Best, I am having a real hard time deciding between which one so here are the specs and price - help me decide Option 1 the Budget Galaxy Visions Server CPU: AMD Athlon 2800+ Harddrives: 80GB IDE Server Memory: 1024MB Ram Port Speed: 1200G TRansfer 10Mbps Port CentOS Option 2 SoftLayer Single Processor Dual Core Pentium D 930 - 3.0GHz - 2 x 2MB cache 1 GB DDRII 667 1 x 250GB SATA II 10MB link 2000 GB Bandwidth 1 GB Lockbox McAfee Total Protection - Linux Network IDS/IPS Protection Red Hat ES4 MySQL 4.1 for Linux installed Let me know your thought ! Thanks Marx
Hi, Do both of these servers cost the same amount? It's kind of hard to give an opinion for this without a price, or at least a percentage-based difference in costs.
Hi, Sorry another few questions: - How much server resources do/will you need for your site(s)? - How much bandwidth comes with each? It looks like Option 2 is a better system though, it just depends on if you're willing to spend that much, and if you think need all that horsepower. The price per month is almost double Option 1... would it be worth it to you? ~Michael
Thats the thing im not really sure, was hoping existing proxy network owners could give me some advice, on what kind of server i would need ? Its quite a big network about 7 sites with little room for expansion 10K unique/day
Dont purchase any of them search for any cheap company and purchase some more strong AMD Server.....servstra.com is quite good.I used to have a server from them. Saad
I would not get either of them. I would search around some more because you can get better deals with better specs. Dediwebhost, Layeredtech, and The Planet are always a good choice.
It's always better to compare offers from more than one company to help you take a better buying decision
If you think you can at all recover the costs of $200, I would definitely go with the second option. We went dual-proc managed dedicated and it's costly, but worth every penny and the extra power it really nice.
