Title: Hi! Im Mike!
Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 316 Location: Texas  | Server recommendations II am looking for a small dedicated server option, or possibly a VPS. My site has outgrown regular shared hosting and I cant afford the continual slowdowns that show up in that environment anymore. I use about 15Gig of bandwidth on my slow months, and as high as 45 on my busy months. That was last year, I am expecting to get nearer to 80-90 Gig later this year. Teh Planet is where I would like to eventually land my site(s), but I can justify the cost right now. I am seeing VPS options for around $50 per month, but have never used VPS hosting. Anybody here use VPS and have good luck with them? Or smaller dedicated servers that they would recommend?  | ||||

| Regarding the VPS, I have already told you I think Servint is the absolute best in that arena. They were amazing to work with. Regarding Dedicated / Cheap, I found this for you...might be a good option: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=490757

Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 316 Location: Texas | Thanks. I think I will move to Servint for the time being with my football site. Only problem is they cant do the move. They have instructions listed somewhere, but I am a little worried about doing it. Any qualified people here wanna give me a quote? | ||||

Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 316 Location: Texas | Well, thanks once again for the advice, Lee. I put in my order for one of the Servint VPS machines this evening, and look forward to my confirmation email later on this morning. I have the guy lined up to switch everything over for me on Saturday and cant wait to see the difference. With any luck, by the end of this year (well, actually after the end of the 2006 football season), I can move on up to one of those big bad machines you pointed me out to. | ||||
