Currently I am on a VPS with LiquidWeb. It is working out well and I plan to keep it in the foreseeable future. For a few months, however, I have been planning to get a managed dedicated server in addition to the VPS in early 2008. First off, I want to make it clear that I have no interest in hosting any warez or child pornography or anything similar that is blatantly illegal. I do, however, want to be able to do what I want with my server. I haven't made any final decisions yet but this may or may not include proxy sites, streaming of audio and/or video, adult content (18+, of course), game server, and IRC server. I wouldn't expect to have all of that happening simultaneously on one server, but the point is that I want to have the option of doing these things. Additionally, I would really like to go with a very reputable company instead of some random forum member (no offense, but when I'm spending several hundred dollars a month, I expect a very real business to be involved). I have looked at places like The Planet, Rackspace, and HostGator and (as far as I can tell by looking at their terms of service) they all have various restrictions and rules against many of these activities. I understand that I could go with some company outside of the U.S. and it might solve some of my problems, but I'm afraid that I would be paying more money for a slower connection (I live in the states). So does anybody out there have a managed dedicated server from a company that allows some or all of the things I mentioned above? I appreciate any suggestions. I haven't fully decided on the specs of the server that I want, but it would probably be Linux (with CPanel/WHM, preferably) and I'm looking at spending somewhere around $200-250 a month.
The hosting I use are what you are looking for it seems PM me if you are interested, remember to include following information: How much Space: Bandwidth: do you need? Best regards...
The space isn't really a big deal at this point. Nearly all dedicated servers that I've looked at have plenty of space for what I'm looking to do in the near future. As for bandwidth, it'd be nice to have around 1,000GB to 2,000GB of transfer a month. After much research and poking around, my current top choice is FDC Servers. Any opinions? Other possibilities include ManageMyBox and ServerBeach.
Check out cari.net. I've done all kinds of stuff with them, even setup a VoIP voice broadcasting / autodialer system on their network that calls over 300,000 people per day! Obviously you can't break the law but Adult, proxies, irc anything like that is fine and they have wicked prices, and VERY good support!
