Dedicated Server Hosting

[Analog Revenant]

hi...

Who do you guys reckon is the best (performance and price) for getting a dedicated server. I am looking at Hetzner at the moment (the truserv product). I really only need a server and I'll do the admin management. I'll push through quite a lot of traffic to and from the server. (payment type transations)

thanks

I have a server with these guys for 2 years now and happy: http://diamatrix.co.za/dedicated-servers/dedicated-server-packages.html

Can't go wrong with Hetzner:

I've got 2 dedicated servers with them that I manage myself and have had nothing but excellent service from them.

+1 for hetzner but -1 for them hosting at mtn dc. you will regret that

Agreed, there've been a few outages on their network (or rather MTN's network) since I joined them over 2 years ago, but in my opinion the support offered by Hetzner makes up for it.

+1 continual packet loss on MTN hops.

Excellent, thanks guys for all the advice.

Will probably go with Hetzner then

Hetzner should have a DC in Cape Town open now (used to be closed because they dont have floor space, but have a new one going again)

Yes, they definitely do, my dedicated servers with them are hosted in Cape Town, they actually have 3 different data centres in Cape Town now.

The lady I spoke to said they are only able to take new orders for servers at the CPT DC in January again. Still busy prepping I suppose

I don't know about Hetzner. But,I use 9CubeHosting.com to host my dedicated server.They provide me root access to the Server so that i can manage my server.Their service and support is excellent.Their is no down time.They give 99.9% Up-time guarantee.

Why don't you buy an ad from MyBB? And for the record, the servers on that site is quite expensive. There are better deals out there.
