I recommend MediaTemple (http://www.mediatemple.net).

Great customer service and they communicate any problems or issues via the
blog so you can have it in an RSS feed which is nice.  They also have grid
computing and containers for Ruby on Rails and MySQL instances so once you
out grow your current setup you can have it spread across several machines.

Excellent choice...

But so far it looks like I'll be going for http://www.m5hosting.com.

"Small is the new big", might wanna Google that. Besides, they look so simple!

Re: Where to rent the best dedicated servers?

2008-03-24 Thread Patrick C
Guys, careful on the "reply to all" on this message :-)

If you're looking for FreeBSD hosting, I have had very good luck with
m5hosting.com. It's a small company but they host in a very nice datacenter
with good connectivity, and their support is awesome. The owner (Mike) is
very knowledgeable with *BSD and is one of the few hosts to offer FreeBSD,
OpenBSD, and Ubuntu dedicated servers. I can highly recommend them.

We migrated all our hosting needs from Rackspace to our own equipment at
Quality (Globix) and have never looked back. There have been some recent
high-profile outages but their reliability is still very good, we just found
that it was much cheaper to host ourselves especially when we looked at
adding additional equipment for redundancy like load balancers. If you don't
need managed hosting I don't see any place for Rackspace.

I also have a personal FreeBSD box with The Planet, things have gotten more
professional there (ev1) since becoming The Planet and it's a decent host.

I have several FreeBSD machines rented from NTT Verio in London.
I'm accessing them remotely with SSH and there is also a control-panel option 
available.
Check if this is suitable for you.

Nah, actually, the website design (which can be used as a measure for the 
qualities of the rest of its services) kinda put me off.

impact than the products or services themselves." --designcouncil.org.uk
