    I wouldn't call them the cheapest plans around. There are companies out there that will beat those prices hands down. ;)

    Unsealed, do you need anything special like cPanel? Also, what kind of image sharing takes place? Is anything copyrighted or illegal?

    No offense, but I've been searching around for dedicated servers and I couldn't find a datacenter who can beat those prices, I mean they have their own datacenters it's not like they resell servers so for that fact I would like to think that they are reliable and pretty cheap.

    No offense taken. As far as prices directly from a datacenter, yeah, they're pretty good. Don't forget that a lot of people co-lo entire cages and floors inside datacenters. When we first started, for example, we co-lo'ed entire cages out at PureGig. We certainly didn't own the datacenter, but providers from within a datacenter can be just as good.

    Same thing goes for resellers. Often times, resellers are able to offer prices and promotions (and even entire product lines) that the datacenter doesn't offer to the public. Softlayer specifically comes to mind. Find a good SL reseller and you can get prices on certain servers that you would never be able to touch if you went to them directly.

    But I assure you, there are better prices out there. :)

    Sorry to hijack your thread there Unsealed. I'll be sending you a quote shortly. Just want to make sure that there is no copyright violation or such going on with the picture sharing.

    Yes we use cPanel at the moment. As for the images nothing is illegal. And it's not an adult site. We're a 100% legit.

    I'd like to add that if you can't beat Chimehost's XEN vps 4 in terms of quality/prices ratio, we won't do any change. Also the 24/7 support is really a must. We lose more money in 3 hours of downtime that we pay for hosting in a whole month. So we have to be able to contact people at any given time.

    regards,
    the unsealed team

    If you are still looking for stable and reliable web host, can suggest WebServer4.net company.
    Wish all would be the same professionals in their businesses.
    Never had problems with this great hosting provider.
    Their dedicated servers impressed me a lot (the price for such great amount of resources and useful features).
    go ahead, they are rocks!
