<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi, I have a 4GB box at <A
href="http://inmotionhosting.com">inmotionhosting.com</A> for
$229/month.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It sounds like you might be more of a geek than me and so this might not
make sense for you. With <A
href="http://inmotionhosting.com">inmotionhosting.com</A> they will really
hold your hand with everything non-Drupal related. And if you choose to
<I>not</I> have the root password, they take responsibility as well.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>As I've learned more, I decided that I did want to have root access
because I didn't want to wait around and with knowledge one wants more power!
When I got root they warned me that they wouldn't take any
responsibility anymore. But they have been just as helpful. I think the
warning was that they wanted to cover their butts, and I don't blame them. But
I have NEVER gotten from them, "You must have screwed something up because you
have root access, sorry, no help."</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>No host is perfect, but I've been very happy with my dedicated server at
<A href="http://inmotionhosting.com">inmotionhosting.com</A>.</DIV>

everybody,<BR>I'm currently managing some Drupal sites on a Rackspace cloud
and I'm pretty<BR>happy with their service. But as my sites are getting
bigger and more<BR>complex, they use quite some RAM. I still haven't been
able to cut down the<BR>number of modules but I have implemented different
levels of caching to<BR>reduce the load.<BR><BR>However, a 4GB instance on
Rackspace cloud cost around 160USD/month, at this<BR>price, I think it may
be time to investigate for a dedicated server. In<BR>Europe OVH offer
powerfull dedicated server around 80USD/month<BR>(<A

I'd like to find<BR>a similar offer in the USA.<BR>Which dedicated server
provider do you use for what cost and what service ?<BR>What would be your
recomendation ?<BR>And bonus question, is there an easy way to migrate my
system configuration<BR>to a new host.<BR><BR>Thanks a
