Dedicated Server for my Project!

[Shamil]

Really? Then by all means get it. But it's my experience that dedicated = $$. VPS is at least affordable and faaaaaast!

I'm a Dedicated Server provider. I can charge $5 per month if I really wanted to, and make a huge loss.

A-bloody-men!

I'm using a place called URLJet and even though they are a bit pricier than I'd have liked, their customer service is AWESOME!

I'm with realwebhost.com and they too are a bit pricer than others. But it's all about customer service.

I think you've mentioned that before.
Do you have a forum running?

I am using shared to start up my site but am switching to VPS right as I open it(strange I know) mostly because the kind of traffic my site will bring will require root access.

I won't believe this until you prove it to me.

(Think this will work?)

I probably have.

I have 2 only: both are vB, I'm using XenForo internally as part of my intranet.

Maybe Hit me up on Tuesday when I'm in the mood

Nah, I'm good. But thanks for totally ruining my joke by being a nice guy.

You should check out linode. You will more than likely get more from their VPS line than you would from a dedicated server at the same price point

edit:

at least at the lower end.

Have you looked at options like RackSpaceCloud.com?

While you'll have to be somewhat hands on from the beginning, their CloudServers option will start you off at $11/month for run-time and usage would be variable. You can add/remove nodes as necessary to support your needs.

They've been good to me for a few Apps that I've had to deploy. Not the best choice for running and administering a website with much easier choices out there. I do know of people that have their CloudServers configured with cPanel or people that use it to mirror their other servers.

I believe it is a little too simplistic to say shared is ___, vps is ___, and dedicated is ___. There is a lot more too it, except for the basic obvious stuff such as root & ssh access.

Usually the people behind the service is one of the key components.

Exactly, I'll take a VPS (virtual machine) with a Nehalem processor and 6 GB of DDR3 over a dedicated server with dual Xeons and 8 GB of DDR2 any day. Dedicated does not necessarily mean better or faster, but it almost always means more expensive.

http://www.limestonenetworks.com/ It is decently cheap...about as cheap a dedi you will find that still maintains great quality . What is the stuff team? lol?

99.9% Uptime Guarantee? Thats nuts! That is nine hours of unscheduled down time a year.
