What kind of server should I get and where?
 

I need an unmanaged dedicated server solely for hosting pictures and maybe some galleries/freesites. What kind of hardware specs should I look for and with who? I only need ~2mbps transfer right now, but will need 5-10 in a month or two.

Suggestions?

get a dedicated at http://www.adultxspace.com, kickass support and good prices on BW

Not a whole lot of power is needed for that application. Maybe in the 2GHz-2.6GHz range should be fine, as long as there's sufficient RAM (1GB).

So, say: 2.4GHz/1GB RAM/160GB HDD

PentD 2.8
1gb ram
160gb sata
10Mbps
Linux or FreeBSD
Unmanaged

icq for details :)

A fairly "basic" dedicated server should be fine. Our base package is a P4 2.8ghz, 80gb hard drive, and 512mb of ram.

I forgot to mention... I need FreeBSD 5.

Whops forgot, $199/month
