    First, forgive me if this topic is in the wrong place..


    What American company should I trust for quality server renting (monthly / yearly)?

    Something like 80 Gb / 1000 Gb bandwidth..

    P.S.
    I'm from Croatia, so dont advise me like "go to Chicago.. and see.." or something like that :)

    Links plz, for companies you guys use and trust! Thanks!

    www.ev1servers.net

    cheap as chips and pretty reliable in my experiance. These are self managed though meaning you need to patch / backup your server yourself.

    I've heard good things about:

    www.theplanet.com

    I was recommended by a friend. I purchased an account but haven't had the time to move my web stuff around just yet. I also found an online coupon (searched google: theplanet.com coupon). It saves me a few hundred dollars every year! They also have a LiveHelp implemented on the site (which is vital for me).

    Oh, as you're not in US, you will need to fax them your Credit Card for verification. I'm not sure if other server hosts require the same thing, but I had to do the same thing with Escrow which is annoying but understandable.

    Edit
    I also noticed ShoeMoney.com is hosted on theplanet servers. So they must be pretty good.

    Excellent, thank you people!


    3.2GHz Pentium 4 80GB HD / 1200 Gb bandwidth $149/Month (the planet)

    I like what I see, just need to check with my bank on how to do the money transfers monthly and off I go..


    Thanks again!
