Is this a good price? Need advice.

[serverside]

Hi all,

I have a real quick question, I found a web design firm and they offered me a dedicated server with my package for $49.99/Month well $50.00 a month. Is that good price for dedicated server? http://www.image-xl.com

Anyone heard of them? Any advice would be great.

thank you.

Well $50 for a dedicated server can do what you want it to, but you probably won't have very good support, unless they are a developing host, trying to make a good name for themselves.

Could you post us the specs of the server?

Never head of them myself, but there are $50 servers out there that will work just fine if you don't need support from the host.

All the best,
Rhett.

specs are good for starters/advance as well;

Intel Celeron 1.0 GHz CPU*
256 MB Ram
80 GB HD
500 GB Data Transfer


Starting at $49.99
A Month

why not give it a try they also give 3 months free hosting? it might be yearly payment or there might be a catch. like they charge for reboots, etc.

Very well said BillyConnite.

But I think each and every customer expects a good support from his host. So serverside, its better you look for host offering quality servers and also providing true support and services which is must to keep the server alive.
