Yes, ThePlanet and ServerMatrix are within the same company. I am an employee there, and I work in the NOC (tech support). It is great to here good remarks about good support! We have 8 major backbone providers with a total of 12 gigabits of redundant bandwidth. The difference between SM and ThePlanet's servers is mostly in price. They both provide outstanding performance and are of top quality. I do see more issues, from a tech standpoint, on the SM boxes. The reason for this, we sell a lot more SM servers and most of the users "toy" with their boxes ALL the time, which ususally ends up in some type of issue because a miss configuration or error on the user's end. I really hope you enjoy your SM or ThePlanet box! If you haven't picked one yet, I would highly recommend the entry level Total Control server in the Pro series for hosting game servers. Duel Xeons clocked at 2.8ghz with hyper-threading provides and extream machine to host lots of game servers. I have a similar setup there on Win2k3 and I can host a solid 8 servers on my machine.
