Dedicated/Co Located

[thankgod4google]

Anyone recommend a good dedicated server provider or co location solution? Sick of losing money and time from unreliable hosts, a good chunk of my sites have been down for well over a day and finally are coming back online now :(

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks for all thave have responded in the thread and in private messages. I will be weighing my options and hopefully pick a winner this time. What realy pisses me off, I just moved my main fricken domain to a different hosting company since my previous one continued to have down time. Not even 4 weeks into being with the new host the hd goes out, to top it off raid back up fails, then the idiots refuse to simply get my account back up and online, or setup an emergency backup until the server is down causing them to do a full restore on the hd causing over 24 hours of down time. Thankgod I have multiple providers so was able to balance some of the lost traffic to a different provider, however dns propogation taking so long it didn't do much good.

God if I could only have all the lost revenue back that I've lost from down time, bet over the years it's gotta easily add up into the 6 figures or more :mad:

To those still waiting on responces from private messages to me for others reasons or e-mail etc I appologize, I will get back to you as soon as possible. Haven't had much sleep in a few days and doing my best to get back on track.

Personally I host myself, and I think I have less downtime then most thast I hear about ;)

One thing I've found usefull is that I do DNS with no-ip.com. I used to use dns2go but htey screwed me over and were down a LOT. No-Ip has never had any downtime yet and I can switch DNS instantly if there are any hosting issues, ace!

Thanks for the info, I've thought about one of the third party dns servers before but guess was to lazy and never did it :( If I had the availability for a good net connect I'd love to host my own servers, so cheap to build I could have dual servers per block of domains.

Unfortunately where I live there is no such thing as 'hi' speed, t1's or anything of the sort. I can't even get dsl or cable, still living in the stone ages. Have sat but that's down more than it's up at times and don't think hosting on a 30k dial up would do me much good, lol

Will be checking into no-ip.com though, as switching in a heartbeat would be great and save alot of headaches.

i use sunwave.com for 2 years now and haven't had even 1 hour down ;) you can add as many domain names as you want and also setup nice dns servers like ns1.yoursite.com ns1.yoursite2.com and so on...it is a very very reliable hosting.and for 110 domains it costs me only about 50-60$ per month :)
p.s. its not dedicated but it works very fine for me.

That's not a bad rate. I try to use multiple hosts, (20 domains each) just in case 1 goes out the others are not affected.

They've got some nice packages, I realy am not conserned on cost I simply want a host who can keep their damn servers up.

I try to split up my sites to a 10-15 active domains per host, dedicated IP on each active site.

Looking into the SUN3$0$502000MB225GB$1.00/GB25 websites
Does each site of the 25 allowed recieve a dedicated IP? I've e-mailed them already but figured you might know :) 15 additional sites for $5 all with thier own dedicated IP, that's also a great price.

All the great responces I've gotten and suggestions I might be on a hosting buying spree this week.

Maybe a new section should be started 'hosts to avoid' save many lots of wasted time and headaches. Even top rated hosts on hostsearch pages continue to disappoint
