[dundee] Dedicated Servers

[Lee Hughes]

I'd take a look at bytemark.co.uk , they got a few vps, great for messing around on, and easy to reinstall with what everoperating system you want.

alternativly, we could club together and stick something large on a backbone somewhere, and just run vps off that?

and, if you stick something on the net, as a server, you going to need to keep it patched up and secure...and endless task...server are like time sinks, you can spend you whole life admining them, aka the dudes who run IRC servers ;-).

hehehe

in a bit.

I'd like to heartily recommend contextshift.co.uk as a provider of VPSs it's a very small and friendly company, and I've found no performance issues (which tend to be peoples first concern with a vps) and my current uptime is 478 days. 

Apologies if this sounds like spam - but I assure you, I'm just a very satisfied customer! :]

Cheers

Lee

If you get 2 emails, I accidentally pressed send before I was finished,
emails are my bane.

> Hey Guys,I'm interested in getting a dedicated server so i can have a central location for all my stuff on the net, and maintain a web and email server or myself.  I've looked around a little, and some of the companies sites i've visited are quite  expensive.Was wandering if anyone could recommend any companies they've maybe found good in the past or are with just now that aren't too expensive.I'm looking for a root server, I'm more of a windows server guy to be honest, but i DO want a *nix box, partly cuz their cheaper, and the fact i'm part of a linux usergroup.. so it would be also be a toy to play around with from that perspective too.  Also I noticed some places doing VPS, virtual private servers, which i assume are like virtual pc's, with serveral on teh one physical machine.. do these operate from my point of view, like any other root server, except that the resources may be shared between several of the companies  customers.Hope someone can shed some light onto
 the si
tuation, and help me get things running soon.Cheers,Bill
