Replacement Dedicated Server Required

[Alien]

Time for a change methinks!

Fed up with my current DS provider (Webhosting.uk.com) - support is not great either and their prices are no longer competitive after almost 4 years with them.

I need a new DS provider (UK preferred) who can beat my current outgoings of £130 P/M, offer me a Linux Dedicated Server with WHM/cPanel, support on hand when needed, with a managed solution for me etc, etc.

This is what I've got already, so will need it similar or better:

Product/Service Dual Core Intel Xeon X3085 - Linux - Dual Core Intel Xeon X3085
RAM 2 GB DDR RAM
Hard Disk 250 GB SATA (Free)
RAID Controller No RAID
Operating System Linux CentOS 5.2
Control Panel cPanel/WHM
Bandwidth 2500 GB - Free
IP Addresses 5 Dedicated IPs - Free

Linux - Dual Core Intel Xeon X3085

Thanks all - anyone else want to quote?

Please note though if you're a reseller I will find out and go direct.

Managed for 130 per month?!

Managed for 130 per month?!

Yes, I have a fully managed server at the moment.

 

[RobM]

That's cheap.

 

[Alien]

That's cheap.

Really?! Actually to be exact I currently pay £137.75 P/M.

I've just discovered too that my current host is offering a better server at a cheaper cost on their site. Nice of them to tell me.

Yeah in my experience its cheap if it's fully managed. However I suspect it's not - they probably only reinstall and reboot which is fine but a little misleading. Fully managed usually means applying all patches as they become available, maintaining the server without being asked, updating software, optimizing disk structure, dealing with holes/hack attempts etc. It is, in essence, part of a full time wage on top of the rental.
Anyway there are quite a few around that can give higher specs for the same or less money. Are you after chasing though in which case it obviously has to be UK. If not Europe is cheaper and US cheaper again. Be aware though short of setting up and rebooting most UK providers are around that price without offering fully managed solutions.
