Dedicated Server Help

[movieprodw]

Hello, I am looking for a dedicated server to host my page and I only found one that I found to have good reviews and good prices.

I would love to know if any of you are currently on a server or have some info to through my way.

Happy Saturday,

Why a dedicated server instead of regular shared hosting? Do you have that much data and traffic to warrant that?

I don't like sounding like a promo for my own business but I will be running a dedicated possibly later today. Linux/apache. Can set you up now on a name server. But will need to FTP it all over later when the dedicated goes up.

I do believe that I can warrent the speed and traffic of the Dedicated Server. I pinged my current provider and i got an avg of 94ms and I pinged aplus.net and got a 16ms and they have dedicated servers for $99 a month.

DSL Guy: I am not agaist your server but I have no infromation about the speed or capabilities if your server.

I doubt it's got anythign to do with dedicated vs shared. It's just a slow server, that's all.

$99/month sounds very expensive to me for hosting a single website. It would be OK if it were a huge website that requires many gigs of space and has very high traffic. If your traffic is less than 30GB/month that can easily be accomodated on any shared hosting server - and it doesn't mean it will be slow either.

Aplus Net is Windows hosting if I'm not mistaken - unless they have Unix hosting by now as well. Make sure this is what you want and need first.
