Hi...
I'm starting up a web design/hosting biz November 1 and after weeks of researching/learning about all aspects of shared web hosting, I recently started doing some research into dedicated server web hosting and am pretty excited with what I've see so far (comparitive profits and customized/personalized control issues that is).
After getting the basics down for both shared and dedicated, I decided to install Windows 2003 Enterprise on my home computer to see if I could effectively handle everything involved and I'm pretty comfortable with where I'm at.
My question to you regards your experience with choosing a dedicated server hosting company and what's involved in setting one up, step-by-step from "A-Z," reliable/credible/stable applications to install, etc. I've tried searching Google endlessly but can't find much relevant info on what's invloved in this little endeavor. Perhaps you all could push me in the right direction for info or give me a heads up here.
I would really appreciate any info/help with this.
One more thing... which of the below do you think is a better deal? The first is from Lunarpages and the second from rackspace.net/ev1servers.net:
"It is all set, we will be offering the following by November 1st:
DEDICATED:
--------------
AMD XP2400
512MB MEMORY
80GB STORAGE
500GB BANDWIDTH/MO
4 IPs
CPANEL
REDHAT 9.0
FULL ROOT ACCESS
$129/mo
You will have full control over your own server.
SEMI DEDICATED:
---------------------
SHARED AMD XP2400
SHARED 512MB MEMORY
10GB STORAGE
200GB BANDWIDTH/MO
1 IP
SSH ACCESS (NO ROOT)
CPANEL
REDHAT 9.0
$39.95/MO
You will share a server with 6 other users, each one of you will get 10GB storage, 200GB bandwidth and 1 IP.
Thats it folks! And yes, we will offer cpanel support on the two above solutions. If you want another operating system installed on your dedicated server (full dedicated server only) this can be done for a smaller fee. "
or
"P4 - 2.0Ghz - Plesk 5 - 80GBHD - 512 MB RAM
Monthly Fee: $129.00 - Setup Fee: $99.00 - Total Charges w/fees* & taxes: $244.68
Monthly Fee w/fees* & taxes: $137.51 - Setup Fee w/fees* & taxes: $107.17"
Thanks a lot!!!
