Recommend Managed Dedicated Servers

Discussion in 'General Business' started by quamism, Nov 25, 2005.

    Hi everyone... Hoping to take advantage of some of your experience on what hosting companies you use for your dedicated servers.

    I recently purchased a site that is going to need a dedicated server and need some good advice on quality hosts, resonable price and great service.

    Any help would be great! Thanks in advance...

    asmallorange.com

    and beachcomber.net

    the ASO one is definetly more expensive...

    you can also get a 3rd party to manage your server remotely

    I was with Rackspace but their growing pains were too painful for me. Now I'm on servint.com with a vps and it's great!

    Go to webhostingtalk.com and use the search feature to check out what people have to say about a company before you take the server on. Btw the planet pretty much suck.

    That's a useless comment. How about you says what comments you heard or better yet, what you KNOW...unless you just don't have any proof.

    Fryman said hes heard bad comments at WHT, are you dumb? If theirs hundreds of complaints about TP at WHT then that is proof enough.

    We use 800hosting and we have used rackspace. Both have been very good. 800hosting is much cheaper for about the same server. Rackspace has a little better support, but 800hosting's is still very good.

    I would recommend either of them.

    Yep, you got it!

    Actually, I'm not. His comment was useless because what people "hear" really has no substance unless they've got proof. Like, for instance, I've heard you're an idiot...does that mean anything?

    I would say The Planet. They have great customer service, their servers are top notch but their pricing is a little high maybe along the same lines as Rackspace, but you get what you pay for IMHO.

    I have had no problems with The Planet, they have always responded to any issues in a timely manner and I have not had my servers go down once since I have been with them. I do not know a lot about server admin but these guys have taken the time to walk me through any issues I may bring up. To me that is the sign of a good company.
