Things you should know...

Before you buy a dedicated server from someone, ask these type of questions...

1. Are you a reseller for this dedicated server?
2. Can I get an IP to do a trace route?
3. Where is company located at?
4. What other type of service you guys offer?
5. What's your turn around time to build my server?
6. Can I keep in touch with if I have any problems with my server?
-This is a important question. Most reseller sell the servers and once
the server has been sold, you never hear from that sale person again.
7. Is there a number that i can talk to you?
8. What is your email?
*note* make sure the email is not an hotmail account



Take care,
Steve
