Please Recommend Dedicated!

    Im looking for a dedicated server because my shared acct has been shut down due to my site getting #1 spot on digg.com

    my host says the only thing that can withstand this amount of traffic is a dedicated server.

    Please recommend me (preferably affordable) solutions and any personal experiences.

    thanks!

    Panecta can offer you a dedicated server with
    2.8 ghz proc
    512 ram
    360 gig hard drive
    1000 gig bandwidth
    Cpanel ($50 value)
    for $80 / month

    I only have one server with these stats, but let me know if you are interested in something more powerful. Thanks

    If you'd like, please feel free to check out our managed, dedicated servers at: www.emonsterhost.com, otherwise, is your site a big resource hog? If it's not that bad, i would presume a VPS would be better (if budget is a factor here).

    I would take a manaaged dedicated server such as those offered by rackforce.com, not so affordable though.

    Jesse, you need a powerful server to withstand digg effect. perhap a Dual xeon , 2-4GB Ram + optimization of apache/mysql with your script.

    Don't go for low end such as celeron or p4. I doubt these can withstand the effect as well.

    i heard that man. what i want to do is flat out purchase the ram, because i can get GREAT deals on gigs and gigs of ram... the problem is everyone wants me to pay monthly for it instead of letting me out right purchase it.
    maybe colocation is the answer. anyone had any experience with that?

    My 2 cents, would be to go here for managed servers:


    wiredtree.com (Dual Core servers with full management from $179)


    And go here for high bandwidth in the US:


    drgservers.com (dual core servers with 4TB from $160)




    If you need cheaper than $150, just contact PM me and I will tell you where to get some great servers for your budget.
