I've looked at going outside gd for years, but most providers do tend to
nickle and dime everyone to death. I've wanted to just get dedicated hosts,
but hard to justify $200/mo per box to *play* with. Virtual just isn't that
attractive as at the end of the day, there is resource contention going to
occur to give me any level of warm fuzzies. I'd probably be the bastard too
that kills the box.
I haven't tried to rent a full machine for personal use, but I have some
experience with a couple of providers.
Deru is here in town and hosts PLUG's servers. We're quite happy with
Deru's services. Darrin was reselling a cabinet at Deru years ago. Dunno
if he's still doing that. He did drop off the list, so I might have to
give you contact info if you're interested in following up with him.
DreamHost has been a great provider. I created a hosting account with
them years ago for a client business and have continued using them
for a variety of things including hosting ABLEconf's site and mailing
lists. Ceph is coming from one of the guys behind DreamHost as well, which
is cool. I think DreamHost is primarily running debian. DreamHost uses
cPanel for hosting stuff.
I worked with www.m5hosting.com at a previous job. As the home page show,
they support a lot of FLOSS operating systems. We were hosting more than a
few dozen boxen with m5. m5 has two datacenters in the San Diego area, but
has them networked as a single datacenter. That means you can potentially
have a server and its failover on the same local network, yet 10 miles
apart. Both datacenters have a variety of connections, so can operate
independently.
Lots of other datacenters in town, such as PhoenixNAP and OneNeck.
If you mostly want failover, you could also do a mutual failover agreement
with someone else.
ciao,
