Hi, I am very seriously considering moving to a dedicated server for my sites. The reason for this is that I currently have 2 reseller hosting accounts on shared servers and some proxy hosting elsewhere as well. The combined costs of all this hosting means that I could possibly save by going dedicated or it should only cost me a little extra. BUT dedicated seems to be a real hornets nest. Who do you trust? And what do you go for? I would need managed hosting, c-panel/WHM etc. Does anyone have any good hosts they can reccomend? I have a budget of around $200/month. What's the best I can get for that sort of commitment? Any help would be appreciated. Hopper

As you are asking for managed hosting solution, thats why i personnally think you should try having a server with a server technician or experienced holder. For a server with high performance, i think Softlayer would be the best solution. Moreover you will get flexible enough support from softlayer. FDC or Layeredtech both can be good solution too, but the support quality and the network wont be so good like softlayer premium level 3 network backed by Saviss. If you need some experienced linux server technician who will do the management, please contact me via PM, hope the best would be provided with a joint combination of both (DC + Management) Regards

Thanks everyone for your input, its much appreciated. Can anyone give me (and then obviously others) an idiots guide to servers and the stats that are continually thrown out: Dual core, SCSI, SATA BLAH BLAH BLAH etc. Cheers Hoppers
Hopper, it sounds like you are headed in the right direction. A dedicated server would server your needs much better than shared hosting and give you the growth and flexibility you need moving forward. We offer dedicated servers with cPanel at competitive rates. Check our our plans here: http://hostinglizard.com/dedicatedservers.php If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me! cPanel Enabled Dedicated Servers start at just $169.95/mo. Thank you.
Thanks for the offers, just to let you know, I am almost definatly going to go with a dedicated server but I will not be rushing this decission. The point of this thread is to do some background info gathering inorder to help me make this decission. So keep the advise coming. Cheers
