A bit cheaper if you ask me - not sure what they are like though :)

Subject: FN-FORUM: Dedicated linux hosting query



Hi there,

A quickish query, I have a website which is currently hosted for about
£300 a year (shared server). It has recently come up for renewal and I
received an invoice for next year - same price etc.

Today is the last day on last years contract, tomorrow is the new one which
I have yet to pay, and today I received an email from the company, saying
that I have reached the upper limit of their current package and lately, it
has begun to use more than its allocated number of connections; at times it
has used over 100 simultaneous connections blah blah. I should reduce the
connections or consider a dedicated server.

Their dedicated server starts at a scary £2250 / year which is a huge leap
in cost, which I'm not best pleased about. However I knew that the time to
upgrade was inevitable. My current bandwidth is about 10Gig a month. The
limit of the dedicated server is about 40Gig a month.

So, to the point at last...
*Does this seem like a reasonable upgrade or is it massive overkill? I
don't like the cost, but I've had a quick look round and it doesn't seem to
bad, but I need to have a more extensive look, I could have done with more
notice from them!
*Also there was a website which was basically a forum about web hosting (in
the UK?) I seem to remember, any ideas?

PS The website is on a linux box, and uses all the usual - apache/php/mysql
and gets about 10Gig/month traffic, that's basically it.

Many thanks in advance,

Bill
