Hey all,

Has anyone tried going dedicated hosting with iweb.com ??

I'm asking this since I saw they have really attractive offer until the end of March:

Athlon X2 3800

10mbps UNMETERED
2gb RAM
160gb storage

for $100/month !

p.s. I am not in any way affiliated with this company... I'm asking this since I wanted to go dedicated soon and this looks like a really good offer.

k.

if $ = USD, i don't feel any attractive ..

if you are building a video site, like youtube etc, u may only support 20 concurrent users.

of course, besides of hardware and bandwidth, support is very important, and i have no idea of this for iweb ..

A bit more interesting than that (it's what we use in our company)

Apparently I saw some threads on Web Hosting Talk forums where some people complained about Serverloft and said to stay away from them.

Today I also found some negative reviews about iweb.com, although they are supposed to be better than Serverloft.

According to reviews that I read so far online, one of the best dedicated hosting providers is ThePlanet.com .

Although this offer from Serverloft looks pretty cool and affordable.

Cool_Goose, for how long has your company been with Serverloft and what kind of web apps you're running on the server, if I may ask?

Not a long time (about 3 months) but aside of the fact that support replies slowly there wasn't any server downtime that we could see.
Webapps: Centos 5.2 with your usual LAMP stack + webmin/virtualmin.
