Premium vs. not so premium? Location as well? Quite a few providers in the offers forum that you can research.
Find 4-6 that fit your budget, type their names into the search engine on WHT and start reading!As others have said there are many. If you have a specific location or DC in mind, we can direct you appropriately.We would like the server to be located on the east cost.Ok these are some of the providers we are looking at: ServerTweakLiquid WebJonesolution.comAplushosting.com Would like feedback from people using these hosting providers. ThanksOut of those 4, I've heard of 2.
Aplus, don't touch with a barge pole. Just do a search like you should on ALL of the hosts you are interested in
Liquidweb is a great company, managed when you add cpanel on, good network, etc. Definitely recommended.Forgot one ValuHost.comGo Liquidweb.Do you have a preferred type of bandwidth? Premium vs. not so premium?
what is Premium bandwidth ?Phatservers.net is a good managed host,you should ask them regarding the price requirementswhat is Premium bandwidth ?
The main difference is latency. Standard bandwidth provides excellent latency, the Premium bandwidth offers a proprietary intelligent routing protocol that can provide lower latency for applications such as game servers etc. For basic web services such as http, email, ftp, the standard bandwidth will be more than adequate.the Premium bandwidth offers a proprietary intelligent routing protocol that can provide lower latency for applications such as game servers etc.Premium bandwidth does not necessarily have a proprietary technology that optimizes BGP. This all depends on the provider you use. For example, if you go for InterNAP bandwidth, then yes you will be taking advantage of this. But ask yourself, is it really necessary? Or is it mainly just glorified marketing?
Not saying that InterNAP is bad, I use them and I love them, but it doesn't come very cheap. (generally)From my experience, you do not need to have 'premium bandwidth'. It depends on what the 'value network' is, though. If we are talking about Cogent, then I wouldn't go near it. Not because Cogent is bad, they are actually very good, but there is better for the same price range. IMHO, some of the best value networks can be found at either <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.steadfast.net">www.steadfast.net</a><!-- w --> or <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ptptech.com">www.ptptech.com</a><!-- w -->. PTPTech is basically Tiscali & nLayer, and steadfast is Telia, PCCW (BTN), nLayer. Tiscali (@ ptptech), has access to the major tier-1 providers, we are talking - GBLX, Verio, Sprint, Level 3, Savvis. This is all local in Washington, DC. You are not going to see any difference at all for most any application between a value network and premium network. But just make sure to choose the right value network.HTH.Thank you for all the kind words about Liquid Web. We really appreciate it.The definition that we use for Premium Bandwidth is bandwidth provided by multiple Tier1 providers. The advantages of using Tier 1 Bandwidth is that you have less hops between networks which in general will lower your latency and reduce packet loss. Some additional benefits of using the larger global networks are greater diversity of routes in cases of net congestion, faster data throughput, and low possibility of provider "overselling." Liquid Web solely uses tier1 bandwidth from multiple providers. It might be more than needed for some customers, but our clients seem to be really happy that we only go w/ the best. Hope this helps. Good luck in your search!I have been researching a managed dedicated server company for around a month know. It looks like LiquidWeb is the way to go.

Liquidweb is a great company, managed when you add cpanel on, good network, etc. Definitely recommended.
He refers to aplusHOSTING.COM, and you are referring to aplus.NET. Not the same company.In regards to OP, I'd just like to say, if you find THE server you wan't and its not managed, there are some great third party providers (also around WHT). I'm just commenting on this because it seems you'll perhaps be using the server to offer hosting, hence the unlimited requirements, and you can include end user support in this way.And what actually really got me posting was this:I have been researching a managed dedicated server company for around a month know.
