Dedicated hosting in the US (and maybe CA/UK)

[Gadi Cohen]

Hi


My hosting provider currently has an amazing deal which I thought I'd
pass on to those interested.  I don't work for them and I don't get any
commission, I promise -- but this topic has come up a few times before,
so I thought some people might find the info useful.


The deal is "50% off quad core servers".  The have a regular quad core
for $99/mo, but what really interested me is the Dual Xeon setup (16
cores!) for $199/mo, including 6GB RAM, 2.5 TB/mo bandwidth and 100mbit
port speed.  For me this was a super deal that I couldn't resist and am
busy migrating my old server across.  The specs inspired me to finally
get into xen, and hope my next migration will be a live one :)

They also have datacentres in Canada and the UK, the offer might be
valid for there too.  Again, I have no hidden connection to ServerBeach,
but I've had so much grief with hosting providers over the past decade
that when I'm finally happy, I want to share the love.  As a reminder,
these are the guys who hosted Youtube before Google bought it.  Their
slogan is "by geeks for geeks", never met with the incompetence I've
experienced from other companies, and the response time on tickets is
great (from my personal experience, at least).  Also the bandwidth to
Israel is great... off peak I max out my 8mbps line (at about
730K/sec).  On peak NetVision do some ugly filtering, but I have a VPN
for that.  From my tiny VPS in Israel, I get a consistent 2MB/s to their
network.


Anyway, hope this helps someone.
