Where are most of you purchasing them from? The last one I ended up doing for a friend of mine we got it from Penguin Computing, not a bad deal and they also give you a free shirt and a tiny Tux. Everyone loves the Tux. Not sure if that same offer is still running but I'm sure they have more now anyways.


My Tux was not this size, but that would be a nice costume for any geek.

Well it all depends on budget, etc.

you can get a server pretty much anywhere, but it's always best to do research on the company first.

A very good, down to earth company is Gnax.

First thing to do is looking if there is a contract period.. Many companies need that you have to take the server for 12 months.. This is a problem for a growing site..

Many people buy dedicated servers from ***********. Nice company where you may even order the servers of desirable configuration.

Really? All I read are unverifiable or hearsay based recommendations.

That's true for most of their competitors too though.

I don't understand you clearly: is that good or bad if the company has many clients on their dedis? Are there any agendas? I wonder if it is very risky.

I try to shop around and find good deals where ever I can. Poking around on web master forums and checking the latests crazy threads, some are really complete BS though and their so easy to spot. Gnax is nice and thats more than likely who I will stick with as I have yet to find anyone else willing to do some of the specials they run. Also Rackmount is okay, but not my top prefered.

Maybe, maybe not. Everyone is free to judge on his own. Research is only a couple of clicks away.

Again, it really will depend on the level of knowledge you have supporting a server and your budget. I'm sure you'd be able to get a cheap servers if your able to manage it yourself.

I have tinkered around with some low end servers I bought for cheapy rates, which wasn't bad for home machines. Though I have seen some sooooooooo cheap it wasn't even worth it after you seen what they had going on there.

But I have always thought that to order a server is a good thing. At least you may get what you want.

We got our servers from Apaqdigital and Amadi. No complain at all.
