          Hardware specs and price are not the only thing to be taken into consideration when deciding whether a deal is good or not. Quality of support and quality of bandwidth should also be added to the equation.

              BW is excellent. Support is not top notch, but is somewhat ok.

                  I wanted to say: support is not the level of phat servers, lol.

                  But BW is the level of phat servers support

                              well, I'm paying $150 for 3mbit on an old p4-2.0ghz with a 60gb hd...
                              but that's with a high quality host..
                              seems like a pretty decent deal to me!

                                      For most of my servers, I need more bandwidth than I need raw power, so with the bandwidth it comes with, it's not appropriate for me. I do have some servers with only 10Mbps or so, that actually use less than 1Mbps, but they're the exception, not the rule.

                                      I also need fully managed or semi-managed server, and I didn't notice if this was or not.

                                      So, if you're crunching DB's, not pushing data, it seems reasonable for a managed server of those specs, if a BIT high ... but I'm spoiled with volume pricing, maybe.

                                          ya DBs are getting abused, no static stuff on the server.

                                          so by looking at everyones' statements this is an ok deal then.

                                          ok then...

                                              you can do better than that: at SwiftCo its only $75 for 4mbit, 2.8 ghz, 80gb hd and have way better bandwidth and providers: level 3, internap etc etc
