Hi,
I have been searching the net to find a reliable company that has what I need for a price that fits my budget. I am familiar with alot of companies offer and their pricing. I have decided to try this forum to see what may be offered.

I have 3 webhosting sites and a dating site in startup mode and am currently looking for a dedicated server.
The content of the dating site is setup so adult content is not favored, however members will have the ability to have 4 private pictures. The only way those pictures can be accessed is through membership and the member giving another member the right to view them so they are 100% non viewable by the general public, guests, visitors, trial members and members without permission. There is also a statement in my usage policy to members to not upload nude photos in their private pictures. However not all private pictures will be able to be screened because of the time involved. A link for members reporting abuse is on those pages if needed.

Being in startup mode I have limited capital so setup fees are a problem as well as high monthly fees and support or service fees.
I have budgeted a price range of around $100.00 a month, since this was an average price range I have seen on the internet when searching for specials.

I am looking for the following:
1) My ideal server would be fully managed or at least partially
managed with 24/7 Support included.
2) WHM with all options and cpanel needed.
3) Lots of Bandwidth (est.500GB min) , and Lots of hd space
(60GB min)
4) 100% uptime, 99.9% min.
5) 512 mb ram min.
6) php, mysql, cgi, perl, all apps and scripts that are normally on
a good server setup.
7) my own nameservers (2 IP's min)
8) Creation of unlimited domain names with WHM.

Please email offers to datacom2002@adelphia.net

Thanks,

Why dont you go to RS for that?

I could do it but your costs would be more. There are few creditable dedicated server providers that will offer you what you are looking for unless they have them in ****.

Good Luck though.

Eric,

Question? Why bother to post an offer that is higher than the one above yours? Just wondering.

Even though he has posted the same offer to every post.

my guess is: because most people know enough about nocster to consider other offers =]

Well first off based on his prices he is offering PIII or there abouts
something seems off with a server for 59.95/month Maybe its just me?

I just put up a bigger Server and more features? I dont know anything about NocSter but thought I would reply.

I will make sure to get your approval before I post anything further.

Thanks,

Maybe it wold have been better to email or PM that question. In general, pricing will naturally be different between various providers for various reasons. My suggestion to those posting offers is to post what you offer and not to worry so much about what others offer. You might be the most expensive in the thread, but have something the person is looking for. Sell your service based on your prices not on others (even if that means posting a higher price than someone else).

Like I said, a better question for PM or email...
