What do you want the server for?  Plain web hosting, php + mysql development?

I'm running a dedicated server from 1and1, apart from the initial hassles of
getting the damn thing set up, its been ok for me.

http://order.1and1.co.uk/xml/order/tariffselect;jsessionid=FF0BFEFF9ABD7704166958CFA71B8ADB.TC31a?__frame=_top&__lf=Static&__sendingdata=1&tariffcategory.Extid=1829&tariffcategory.Visibility=false

£49.99 + vat a month

Cheers
Paul
