Need to Test a New Webhost

I have some AutoBlogger Pro sites set up on a webhost that might be "blackholed" or "banned" in some way, or possibly just misconfigured. They aren't getting NEARLY the traffic that a "normal" ABP installation would generate.

I haven't seen a properly-configured ABP site that hasn't gotten at least a few hundred per day within a week, and many ABP sites are doing hundreds or thousands per day after a month or two.

Something is VERY wrong -- and it isn't the sites themselves.

I'd like to set up a small dedicated server on a "different" host for testing, and see how it goes. If it turns out to be a problem with the server, I'll move all of my ABP sites to the new host.

I'll need something like this for testing:

Pentium 2.8
1GB RAM
80GB HDD


I will need servers like this for "production":

Dual Xeon 3.0 HT
2GB+ RAM
140+GB SCSI Drive
10Mbps per server


As a separate project, I am dismantling a clustered environment with a web host that isn't working out for me anymore. There are 12 servers that roughly conform to the second config (but are single HT Xeons, not dual, and have 1GB of RAM). If I migrated this cluster, I would need a quote for 100Mbps minimum commit, with break points from 100Mbps to 1Gbps.

Please quote the single servers in the thread, and post if you can do a quote on a cluster -- I'll want to speak further about specifics. Don't ICQ me, I'll ICQ you.

Multiple class C's are a BIG plus.
