Ive had a rackshack server for a month now and know some who had them before and it appears like a great deal to me.

pings seem to be atleast average based on post hosts.

price is obviously cheap for starter boxes at $99/month 400 gb, control panel.

their control panels make it so easy to setup your server you don't need them except for firewall.

support has been very quick, never taking more than a couple days with a ticket.

I have 2 off site monitors on http that look every 15 minutes and havent got one notice yet.

but one difference I see between them and the packages above is they don't care when you use your bandwidth. you can use it in a day, or not all in a given month. thats real cool if you have an unplanned day of gallery posts or something.

as was mentioned you need to know what your doing bandwidth wise because of the overage, so it may not be for you if you use a ton of bandwidth. but if you did you can just get multiple servers.

I find their forums very usefull as far as setup of things.

their control panels are so easy to use I don't see a need for support. also I dont think you get any if you modify things at the prompt. but if you know how to do your own stuff you can still tweak it. if your hardware goes down that of course is replaced.

so i see it as a need thing. if you cant manage your own machine then you should go virtual, but if you can I cannot see whats wrong with rackshack at all and they are almost impossible to beat price wise right now. If you don't do disk heavy tasks their setups are very able to serve up tons of hits/daily.
