Dedicated server pricing needed

[fusionx]

I currently have a teeny lil' 'ol server - 1.8 celeron with 512k.

Things are getting busy - I was maxed out at 150 servers for about 24 hours.. apache restarted twice. Total server load was between about 10 and 18.5 most of the time.

I want this:

Intel Pentium IV 2.4GHz
1GB DDRAM Memory
(2) 120GB EIDE Hard Drive (2nd for backup - not raid)
2,000GB Data Transfer or unmetered 10mbit cap

Red Hat
mySQL (duh)
Cpanel/WHM/Fantastico
PHP (patched), Zend Optimizer, ImageMagik, all the standard stuff you find on a server with CPanel.

Managed (at least partially - I don't need hand holding - just when major problems pop up, which shouldn't be often - things like when bind fails to do it's thing, or I'm getting DOS'ed). I've dropped e-mail to support three times in 6 months, and called twice (one DOS attack, one failure to bind a new IP).

Please reply here with ballpark prices, and a way to contact you (ICQ, MSN, E-Mail).

Thanks!

Hey Fusionx,

Sounds like business is growing for you, congratulations.

I would like to suggest Powerstorm Webhosting. We have a good track record and were recommended by our users and nominated for an Xbiz award for 2005 webhost of the year.

We could offer a managed server:

Intel Pentium 4 3.06 GHz

1 GB RAM - (2) 120GB Hard Drives
2000 GB Monthly Transfer
RHEL/Cpanel/WHM
7 IP's

for $349.00 a month and no setup fee.

Please feel free to drop by the site or ICQ me if I can be of any assistance.

Hey Fusionx,

I can get you up in the Marlin Web Hosting facility on the package you described for just $405 per month. That's assuming that by Red Hat, you mean Fedora. If you need Red Hat Enterprise AS, just add $40/month.

You can go with the cheapest offer, but at Marlin you have that assurance that you're going to get the most state-of-the-art facility available (owned entirely by Marlin), full redundancy, and 24 hour support. I'll even give you permission to blow up my cell phone any time you need anything.

I'm the painful stages of growth. The point where one day I get 5-10k uniques, the next, some super forums posts a pic and a link to my site, and I'm getting 20k uniques. Someone else sees the pic on that site and posts it on theirs.. now I'm getting 30k uniques. etc. One big site posted, then about five other boards copied them - same pic, same dynamic url - gotta love it!

It's also cool when sponsors e-mail me to get their stuff on my site. That blew me away the first time. Kind of a rush

But anyway...

That looks like a pretty good deal. It's the best price I've seen yet with the 2kG transfer. What's that capped at? what's the allowed burst peak?


Also, forgive my ignorance - what is "RHEL"? I think I should know this

You might want to give m3 server a look too. Don't know if they are in the ball park or not, but Dantheman is family....
(and since apparently his boardtracker did not ping on your post, I will take the liberty of posting the link for him)
