Dedicated Server Provider - Recommendations?

[eetc]

I am looking for dedicated servers and my initial thought was rackspace. Sadly their contact form will not submit

I am looking for good quality servers, good support, fast hardware swap etc. etc. Can anyone recommend from their experience a good company.

Thanks

If you are looking for high quality support and you are prepared to pay for that, Rackspace is still worth consideration. People are generally impressed by their level of service. I don't think those guys cut corners but you do have to pay for that.

I have been using Rack Sense, very good IMO. Support is great.

What kind of specs are you looking for? I have a dedicated server with no use and might be able to let you use it for cheaper than normal.

Thanks, Darren.

If you want a managed server, then Rackspace are the dog's danglies. Give them a call, and they are v helpful. However, don't accept their first price They have wiggle room to barter with, esp if you are happy to agree to a longer contract period

Been using eapps myself. Worth giving them a look.

Peeps, thanks for all your replies... very helpful.

Darren, thanks for the offer but we'll be looking for two identical boxes on a permanent basis that will cycle live/prep.

Very expensive - fanatically average service.

their competitors are ukfast and ukdedicatedservers I think someone on here is the latter.

If you know what you're doing you don't need rackspace.

memset.com is my recomendation

If you want cheap try Netrino(.co.uk)

I've had several servers with them for years, with a total down time of only a few hours.

They will load whatever you want, supply backup space, control console and respond reasonably quickly.

I've just had yet another run in with rackspace.

Signing up with them is like voluntarily signing up for bt customer service.

head banging stuff.

interesting host -> slicehost.com full root access to a slice of the machine.

What are people's opinions on 1and1.co.uk? I've been thinking of moving to them
