Okay I am already up to almost 6 Gigs of Bandwidth with apparently no image linkage after a week so it looks like I may see a dedicated server in the future...

Looking at the below.. whats the best deal? What should I be looking for? Etc...

I would hold fire on making a decision yet - EV1 are due to release a load of new servers around the 10th of next month, they will also revert to a $1 set-up - but they may also have some new models (I reckon they will be RH9).

You also need to consider things like support costs - are you going to be able to maintain everything, or will you need some sort of support.

Memory is always good - can these models be expanded by adding more memory if you decide you need it in a few months? I would opt for the 1GB options.

Just one correction on your IP's - you can have an additional 7 IP's with EV1 for no additional cost.

A good place to get ideas is www.webhostingtalk.com - but like anything you will find fans of all three companies, and others that hate them. Also check out the forums of the companies - do they offer help easily - are customers moaning about issues etc.

Just a few thoughts - good luck in your expansion.

I wouldn't touch another AMD server.


Picture perfect penmanship here.

If I were going to pick one of those boxes, I would go with the AMD 2100. It looks like the best balance on price/bandwidth/RAM/and storage. I don't think you can seriously look at anything less than 1 GB of RAM with the bandwidth you're already using. I don't know anything about the host's themselves, but I think Ian's ideas are the way to go to find out about them.

I'm sure Jeremy will chime in here with some sound advice.
