Dedicated server ?

[jurrie]

Hey everyone,

the last few days i have been looking into dedicated servers...
it doesn't have to be a top notch one, because all i want to do is run a website on it , that has a forum script ....

i'm not sure on the monthly budget.

another thing is , i know my way around linux.. but mostly graphical mode...
is it better to choose a windows server then?

please if someone could give some advice to a newbie on server renting i would appreciate it.

Jurrie

also beware of serverpronto.com from what I have read

check out the Better Business Bureau website for serverpronto
grade is F

it seems when you want to end the service they make you send in a copy of your drivers license and a copy of your credit card front and back.
Some people dont like having to do that.

FYI

Thanx for warning!
Besides I think a high-end VPS is better than a low-end dedicated, Jaquarpc.com, GlobalTap.com and HostV.com VPS deals are excellent in terms of RAM, disk space and bandwidth.

Don't buy dedicated server unless you need it IMO. And you'll KNOW when you need it (your host will suspend your shared account)

You really don't need a Dedicated Server just yet if its just a forum. Start off Shared.

We have found that the most reliable hosting for us has been http://www.serverintellect.com/hosting/features/windowsserver2008/.*Through the years, we've been with many - and none of them has come close to the professionalism, customer care and tech support that we have had with them.*
