    Need some Dedicated Hosting Advice!!! PACIFIC RACK vs WEBAIR

    Hi Guys!, after one listing at "The Hun" melted by puny virtual account at servage (and loosing much of the traffic due to restrictions) I'm now seriously wanting to move to a dedicated box.

    I have a Webair virtual acc and I was offered the following dedicated:

    P4 3.0GHz
    1GB RAM
    160GB SATA
    2000GB Transfer
    24x7x365 Support
    Fully Managed
    $0 Setup
    $129 Monthly

    Now, I'm really tempted to take Pacific Rack's dedicated offer which is:

    CPU1: Intel P4 2.8 Ghz
    [1x2.8Ghz, 512KB Cache]
    RAM: 1GB DDR
    HDD: 120GB 7200RPM
    Bandwidth: 2000GB
    Switch Port: 100 Mbit
    24x7x365 Support
    Free Setup
    $79 Monthly

    .... I'd be inclined to go with PR since there is not much difference other than the $50/mo ... SO I want to get some feedback from people hosting at Pacific Rack.......I don't need feedback from Webair since I currently have an acc with them and they are really nice..

    Another thing.......it seems that webair's is fully managed but I have no idea as to whether or not PR is managed........whut's the difference if someone could tell me?.........also, what admin system is the best? Cpanel, MyCP, Direct Admin?...

    As far as OS I'd go with something Linux Based, most likely Ubuntu...

    If there is someone from PR around hit me up!......ICQ 266-990-876

          Would having an unmanaged box cause problems???

                              If you get hacked or exploited managed could come in handy.

                                                      Do you need to have a contract for a certain time frame with any of those 2?


                                                      A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".

                                                      So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.
