Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-07 16:37:08
Hi everyone. Firstly hi to one and all found this forum by accident. I currently have a dedicated hosting case managed (approx 3 years) by rackspace with the following specification: Server :Amd athlon 64 3000+ (1.8Ghz 512kb L2 lay aside)1Gb Ram1 x 80Gb eide hard drivesingle 10/100 nic3 x ip addressesredhat linux ES 3.0 operating systemport monitoring rackspace basic bandwidth allow 100Gb per month namesserver : ns yinyang-global net ns2 yinyang-global net Account/Domain administered via Plesk 8.2 Server runs Linux. PHP. MySql cgi pl horde webmail and rooted access to the server (including hosted domains) via SSH obtain bomb access. give via ticketing system including server issues operating issues plesk and assistance with trouble shooting some application installations specific to client requirements. This package I use to entertain my client websites and costs on average £300.00 per month and anything extra is an additional be. Where I also suffer out is the server does not command ASP and to undergo this with Rackspace is an additional £300.00 for another server. Or I can migrate to a windows server and close drink the Linux - but they don't have a hold back adorn to administer the be - don't support plesk for windows. I cannot confirm the current cost outlayed against revenue generated from my clients and so looking at alternative solutions. I'm looking to upgrade with the following features (trying to cover all bases): around 250gb webspace +200GB or more data transferUnlimited hostable accountcontrol panel account/billing management 2 or more remove dedicated IP'sPHP 4,PHP 5. ASP cgi-bin plopensource application as stanadard or allow installationZENDUnlimited My SQL DB's with PHPMyAdminVirus ScanningDaily/Weekly backups99.95% uptime or morededicated label serversLive SupportSSH obtain shell accessAccess to SEO packages for added value to client packages. Could anyone recommend a suitable configuration.? Could anyone advise a company in the UK - most of my clients are uk based that can cater these requirements and maybe more also competitvely priced.? I also your discuss on going down the reseller hosting route to build up client list and then migrating to dedicated hosting or staying with dedicated server.?
Enough providers who can back up you on this especially for the be you are currently spending. Why is UK a requirement enough Dutch providers also have good connections to the UK so maybe Holland is also a possibility for you?
Hi Serverboost I'm initially looking at halving my monthly pay by possibly going drink the reseller hosting route if advisable so that I can look after and may be change magnitude my client locate without going broke. Then in the future should my circumstances alter move across to the managed dedicated server route. Do you have any holland based hosting companies in object?
There are enough Dutch companies around who can give you on this. There are also a lot active on these forums. Check the hosting offers placed here on WHT you will sight a lot of good hosts there
Some of the items you've listed can't work together. You won't get a windows server that has ssh access for example. Now given your current calculate you should be able to get two servers one linux and one windows for less than you are paying for your current box. You undergo a few options for control panels that would accept you to manage bother operating systems from a central location. H -Sphere. Hosting Controller come to mind. act in mind that the cerebrate rackspace's prices are high is because of their support. There are going to be a lot of hosts that express you the server they are selling you is managed when its really not. Be very careful in your decision and you should be ok. There is also the option of getting one or two unmanaged boxes and then hiring a third party give company to handle your support needs.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
