When looking for cheap dedicated server hosting it's best to know what your getting up front. So I decided to do a review for you of one of the more popular cheap dedicated server hosting companies. Here's what I found for you.
The technical stuff and some guidelines for what to look for in a low priced dedicated server plan:
- Windows 2003/2008 or Linux (Red Hat, Free BSD, etc.) servers:
- AMD Athlon 2000+, 512 MB DDR RAM, 40 Gigs Hard Drive,
- 1400 GB Monthly Traffic (non Cogent), 100 Mbps Connection,
- FREE Webmin Control Panel (Plesk 8, cPanel/whm or Helm for Windows at the additional fee), full root access to the server.
Some other important points are:
- You want complete access and control over your server.
- You want to be able to load any applications you choose as long as they don't violate the user's policy.
- Hardware changes that can be made at any time.
- Ability to have multiple IP addresses
- Your server should be housed in a concrete reinforced, cement block collocation facility with redundant local power feeds. Even generator back up is preferred.
- At the very least an e-mail support service
- A connection type of at least 100Mbps cross connection to Infolink switches that have redundant Tier-One backbone connections.
As you can see there is a lot to think about when making your choice for cheap dedicated server hosting. I hope this has been informative and helps you when choosing to get service from any company.
