Let me start off by saying thanks to all who read and reply.

I currently host about 25 sites for myself and friends. I have a reseller plan that I purchased off Ebay and have been using it for about 2 years. I am happy with the provider, but they do not offer dedicated servers. So, I am forced to look for a dedicated server for various reasons. With that said....

1. I do not want to pay a tremendous amount since I am starting out. However, I do not want to get a cheap host that will be down too much.

2. I will want root access in order to install a few apps to help me out.

3. I will eventually sell space, and want to make sure the provider is reputable.

I looked at ThePlanet, and a few others. If anyone has any good providers with a great price please let me know. I have seen on Ebay a dedicated server for $500 a year..
