You want the cheapest solution with decent hardware? Look at this: http://powerraq.com
I'm told these guys are the UK's biggest host. Run the prices through xe.com's currency converter and you come up with a ridiculously low price per month. $47 per month with a 3-yr contract, and $63 with a 1-yr. Even the top end dual-proc 2x120gb RAID1 version is only US$145. Criminy! So much for the good news. These guys appear to be almost totally automated. You get pretty much the support you'd expect for this price. But for a dev server it may be worth a look. I passed cuz it is literally impossible to call/email and ask q's before being a customer (!). I was thinking of setting up a cheapie server to play around with, but their no-contact policy seemed more than a little extreme... Still, its tempting to think that I could get away with prices like these if I just knew someone else who had worked with these guys successfully.... -------------------------------------------- Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 7:49 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Looking for a VERY inexpensive dedicated development server I'm looking for a Hosting Company that has cheap Windows servers that I can lease and use as a development server. Need something I can manage with Terminal Services or SSH or VNC. Need something I can install CFMX and SQL Server on (we have our own licenses). Needs to be cheap - like $99-129 a month. Getting what we need for that price is a pipe-dream I'm sure. However, it doesn't have to be much of a server - it's only going to have about 4 developers on it and very little load. Just need a centralized place for a few folks to work on an R&D project that we don't have much funding on. For legal reasons it has to be a dedicated server and can't be on our existing development server (lawyers are fun). If anyone has any leads I'd appreciate it!

Machine, with current type OS, and with a CFMX license. 2. UPS equipment. 3. Connectivity, varies from ADSL to dedicated pipe. (varying levels of monthly rates and depends on geographical location of provider.) 4. Physical secure location. 5, Some level of support to maintain the box and system. The more availability, the more expensive. 6. Business overhead, insurance, utilities. etc. Notes: A provider may have the purchasing power to license operating systems, at much discounted from retail pricing. Not so for CFMX, and any amount less than what is listed on the MM web site, will indicate either it is actually shared hosting, or is pirated software. What is it that you will be trying to do that will require a dedicated server? Or do I misunderstand and all you are looking for is a provider that is solely in the hosting business? ====================================== Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!
