need new dedicated server help

Tony_V · #1 (**permalink**) 10-26-2007, 06:24 PM

Time for another Move!!??!! eck

My clients have grown acustomed to cpanel software and so have I so thought I would point that out first thing.

I am in need of the best in tech support #1
great up time of course
and a good choice of dedicated servers. Meaning I would like a bit of a beefy one but will consider mid range. Budget is $300 or less. per month.

Any one out there have some great experiences they can share with me? I really want to make this my last move. I have some 77+ accounts to move over and I am getting tired of having to do this every time something goes arry. This time I am being told that the support is no longer going to be there for the server I am on. not to mention that everyone there "Godaddy" of all places are not qualified to give support for cpanel software.

Any input will definately give me direction.
thanks in advance!

I have used Netsonic.net and been very happy.

I use Rackmounted.com, they have a good selection of servers, pretty good tech support, although I am mostly a do-it-myselfer so your tech support mileage may vary. Uptime seems good, have not had any issues with them.

Thanks for the input sofar... if it's not too much to ask, I would like to know things like;

info on tech support. response time etc. < thanks. for those who have mentioned this already.
how long you have been hosting with them?
do they have cpanel software?

and any extra info you can give me that you think I should know.

Thanks again for all your help.

With Rackmounted, during business hours I generally get a response within an hour (the tech department is mountain time I believe) unless there is a sitewide issue. They don't do support for scripts and programming, but for any other issue I have had they have been able to help, even as far as setting up some pretty interesting cron tasks and other server scripts. I have been hosted there for almost two years, and although I don't use CPanel they do offer it.

Hello Tony,

Let me know where you want the server to be located. UK or USA?

Thanks eUKhost.com,
Sure I should have mentioned this as well.
Yes, it will have to be in the US.

currently I have the following and would like to get the same or better.

Operating System: Red Hat Fedora Core 4
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo - 2.66 GHz
RAM: 2 GB
Total Disk Space: 600 GB
Disk Drive(s): 300 GB (Drive #1)
300 GB (Drive #2)
Bandwidth Quota: 2000 GB
Control Panel Type: cPanel

I pay $251.60 per month.... I came in the back door as a reseller at wildwestdomains.com which is the reseller program for godaddy.

Would like to be around the same costs.
thanks for any input

I hope you can find easily a reliable dedicated server on that budget.
