<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well I just saw that 1&1 offer dedicated
servers for around $99/mo for 4GB instance, dual core ( <A
href="http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/ServerPremium">http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/ServerPremium</A> ).
Not insannely great but quite affordable, the problem is that I haven't heard a
lot of praises of their mutualised service so I'm not sure if their dedicated
service is better or not but I'm not very convinced yet...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>We've been using Linode - they've been great. They also
have some great scripts that you can use to provision your
hardware.<BR><BR><A class=moz-txt-link-freetext

<DIV>
<DIV>Agreed. I can't recommend linode.com highly
enough. </DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Their support is amazing, and I doubt you'll find a negative review from
anyone in the OSS community.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You don't get cpanel with fantastico, et al (but you can install them
yourself) - and a 4Gb RAM / 128Gb HDD server, + 1.6Tb trf is only
$160 p/m. You can add automated backup facilities to that for an extra
fee, or just make snapshot backups in a separate partition.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You can't compare dedicated servers to VPS, though you do get stock 4
processor Xen instances on linode.com, along with shared, mirrored,
drives. I had a look at OVH, and they do look really impressive -
but at the price I have to seriously wonder how they manage those specs.</DIV>
