I'll keep this short for now and hope for feedback. We had a shared hosting plan with GoDaddy but my site, DeathRattleSports.com, was growing and we needed to move to a Dedicated Server. After some bad experiences with GoDaddy we decided to move to Lunar Pages. We had the dedicated 1 plan but as of late our site kept going down, so after a week of being down (ridiculous) everything was upgraded once we proved that the issues were on their end, not ours and they finally got to work. Needless to say, this stoppage time killed some of our momentum. We now have the Dedicated 2 plan and with the "24/7" monitoring of our server (even though as I type our site is down again) it comes out to a bit under $200 a month. I want to find a reliable company where I KNOW the site is stable and I can still afford to maintain the website. Any Suggestions? Thanks.
Its impossible to suggest something without knowing how much resources your sites takes and what your budget is. So do tell us what sort of RAM, Bandwidth and processing power your site is using as well as your budget.
Below is the latest email about the latest email about the recent outage. $100 monthly or less would of course be optimal. But I'm looking for something reasonable that will work, period. As I said, I'm paying around $200 now and it sucks. This is our current plan and we had already added a half a gig of ram: The Dedicated II Plan comes standard with these features: * Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz CPU, 1024 MB RAM, 120 GB Storage, 1500 GB Bandwidth, * 2 GB Backup Storage, CentOS / Windows .NET Operating System, * 2 IP addresses, SSH, MySQL Databases, E-Commerce. Here is the email... Hello, I have checked your server and found that your server was hanged up because of full ram usage. Please see the detail below: Mem: 2048436k total, 2016576k used I had rebooted your server now everything is working fine. 99% of server memory was used. I advise you to please upgrade your server memory with at least 1GB so your server should run fast and your site will run smoothly. You have following options for RAM: $25.00 Setup 1GB $19.95/month 2GB $39.90/month 3GB $59.85/month Please update us with last four digit of cc so we can proceed.
