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

PR is not managed but you can add it in. I like PR.

Would having an unmanaged box cause problems???

Only if you did not know what you were doing.

since you had to ask, then yes.

like what?, I'll mostly be using FTP.... no SSH/telnet access or running weird scripts......the only script I'll be using is comus and traffic trade ..

check your email :)

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

Save yourself a lot of grief and go with managed service only...

... Good Point...........Sold on that Idea!
Thanks for the Great input Guys!.....:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

QXM contact me at your convenience We just launched some great new dedicated packages and specials

Dude just remember you get what you pay for. At 79.00 bucks and thats for some BW and the server??...LOL it will take a year or more just for the host to break even, so when you have issues dont ask yourself why...:2 cents:

You can add management on with the PR server for $29 bux :)
You still save some money :)

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

Nope, we are month to month :D

We offer a meet or beat guarantee for any COMPARABLE hosting company...contact me with any pricing from pacific rack or anyone else and ill either meet it, beat it, or give you a detailed explanation as to why we don't find them to be comparable...we also offer unmanaged plans at extremely competitive rates =))

sheesh with teh special we have currently listed here: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=786184

our managed prices are competitive to PR's Unmanaged offers! Don't waste time sign up now! Month to month as well!!

Thanks again GXM! :)

Just contact me directly if there is anything you need on your new server! :thumbsup

You going to respond to my ICQ (since you initiated it)?

Do i sense Drama?

I agree with the sentiment that you get what you pay for....but those are some really old servers that have probably already been paid for a couple times over. :2 cents:

Nah, just irritation.

Hate when people initiate conversations then disappear

I've waited almost a month to get a reply from Pacific Rack as well...
WG

Agreed.

Save yourself even more grief, and go with PR (or PHAT :winkwink:).

:2 cents:

I added you and messaged you yesterday, I haven't been in front of ICQ for the better part of the day so if you responded and added me today then I haven't been able to reply yet.

Been with servage... they blow chunks.

You don't need dedicated, you need a solid host who can provide a virtual acct with solid uptime. Hit me up on ICQ and i'll let you know.

p.s. I've had multiple listings on TheHun and never flinched for a second.
