Dedicated Servers Options

Hello DP users,
I'm writing thins message because i want to change my actual hosting platform:
Godaddy dedicated server
Base Bandwidth: 500 GB
Dedicated Disk Space - 1: 120 GB Drive
Dedicated Disk Space - 2: 120 GB Drive
Operating System: Windows Server 2003 - Web Edition
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0 GHz
RAM: 1 GB
Bandwidth Usage: Allowed: 500 GB Used: 8 GB
for 120$/month
with something better and cheaper, any suggestions, reliable and tested?

 

Do you need a managed server or could it be unmanaged?

 

I need a dedicated server, that has windows operating system installed because i need to manage all the activities of my domains.
Could someone suggest me something better than: https://order.server4you.com/pages/dedicated/ ?

 

Studio, keep in mind that those servers do not appear to come with Windows Web 2003, and those prices are for a 2 year contract. Month to month they are quite a bit more. Were you looking to sign a 2 year contract? Also, their setup fee is $149. With that high of a setup, those bait and switch prices, and the fact that they are selling 5+ year old CPU's, you'll be better off with what you have.

 

go daddy domains are good but i have heard the hosting is no good

 

I hope nobody is trusting a server from a company called "server4you"....

I recommend you check out Alchemy. Their prices are amazing. https://servers.alchemy.net/order/products.php

 

You can definitely find a much better deal than that. I'd recommend checking out www.webhostingtalk.com - they have a dedicated server offer section filled with servers and offers that will meet if not exceed your needs and budget.

 

The OP asked for "Windows Server 2003 - Web Edition". That link appears to only offer linux based OS's.

 

I find that a very good price for windows server and I'm not sure if you will be able to find something better.

 

Thanks everyone for help. Server4You, seems to be a quite a bad option.
Mia, your offer is good, but i got better ones,
looking4vps Godaddy is good for both, but the prices for DS are not competitive.
WiredWebWork.com thanks for the tip, i've started yesterday to digg on that forum. a really great resource, but pretty hard to check all the offerts. It took me 4 howrs to check 6 pages
subdivisions, alchemy is not really what i was lookin for.

Everyone else, give me your offer for minimum Core2Duo CPU, 2XHDD, Windows OS, 2GB RAM Thanks.

 

For which period of time are you planning to use that server for?

 

Just be sure you're comparing apples to apples

 

Serverpoint, depends on the offer, if i got a 25% reduction for 3 months maybe i will go with that, if it will be a 35% maybe 6.

 

Mia, true. It's a hard decision. But i dont wanna switch servers mothly. I'm on godaddy since 2006.

 

Everybody seems to slate Godaddy (I have no experience of them), but if they've been reliable for you then why not upgrade the hardware with them and stick with them? They must have a better deal now as the server spec is a little old, and they might help you upgrade to a new system for free which would be a big benefit to you. Sometimes saving a few dollars isn't worth it if you're fundamentally happy where you are.

 

Do you have a location in mind for this server?
