I started using surpass and am leaving them one week later.. the server speed was pitiful and the fact it took em 48 hrs to answer a question on whether I could get shell access to import the hamweather database.. well.. I will keep looking

I have an issue with <br /> <br />CPU: Intel P4 2.4 <br />RAM: 512MB <br />Hard Drive: 80GB IDE or 18GB SCSI <br />Bandwidth: 300GB <br />IP's: 5 <br />Operating System: Red Hat Linux 8.0 <br />$215/Month <br />$200 One Time Setup <br />Order <br /> <br />cause I can get the same at rat shack for 158$ a month <br />and they provide 1000GB bandwidth

My webhost is renting a server from a reseller on the www.gnax.net network. I'm looking at servers from www.tranxactglobal.com which is owned by Gnax. They've had good reviews almost all the way around. The prices might be a little more expensive, but I think they would be worth it.<br /><br />http://www.tranxactglobal.com/dedicatedservers.php

I recommend Hosting4less.com, I used them for 4 or 5 years and had no problems. Had a busy site there, did 1,000,000 pageviews and up each month.

Sky, I use surpasshosting and have been very happy with them thus far. I don't run my forums through them though, so I still haven't checked them out from the "MySql + 150 simultaneous users" angle.<br /><br />I believe that they're connected to Host Dime in some way as they appear to use the same data center and their web sites are too similar for it to be a coincidence.

alot of the hosts use ratshack errrr ever1snet as their datacenter. they buy a dedicated box from them for 160$ a month and this gives them dual xeon, 1Gig Ram, (2) 80 gig hard drives and then they segment that and resell it to you for 30$ a month or so

Actually I wouldn't mind a decent host that runs their server with ratshack just as long as it's a Dual Xeon. I'm about to go with hostdime.com but I'm not entirely sure I'm doing the right thing if their high-bandwidth reseller packages run on P4 2.4 machines.<br /><br />If anyone here wants to split a dualxeon server at servermatrix between 2-4 people then I'm all ears just as long as I'm not the one dealing with SM. Last time I couldn't ever get my domains to work...

I had a dedicated server with Ratshack er evr1snet for the lopngest time. I notced no performance difference between the P4 2.4 and the Dual Xeon... But that was me...

Just made a technical inquiry with them and got a response in 4 minutes... on Sunday! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> But the real good news is that apparently all their servers are now Dual Xeons.<br /><br />Either way, I'll be giving them a go within the next couple of days so hopefully I'll be able to report as a "veteran" soon.

Just wanted to add my experience with surpass.<br /><br />I signed up with them on april 13th and paid by credit card through 2checkout... on the 15th I recieved a notice by email that my order was cancelled. They didn't even give me a reason. So I started a support ticket at surpass. A day later they say that I need to contact 2checkout. So I call them and they say that surpass cancelled the order. So they write an email to surpass and copy me in asking them to resolve the situation. <br /><br />Surpass then emails me back a day later asking what domain I registered. I reply and a day after that they say they can't find my account and ask me for all my information... I send that --- Then two days after that surpass writes me back and says that 2checkout found the order to be fraud so I should talk to them... I used a credit card that is in my name and my address... I spoke with 2checkout today and they said to try running my card through the site again... No thanks, what a waste of time...<br /><br />I found a host with some good prices --- www.hostgator.com<br /><br />space = 5 gigs, bandwidth = 50 gigs, price = 9.95 month<br /><br />space = 10 gigs, bandwidth = 100 gigs, price = 14.95 month<br /><br />includes unlimited email addys, domains, subdomains, ftp accounts, mySQL databases... And cpanel!!!
