Currently I have 2 dedicated servers on ThePlanet (totalcontrol) and I'm thinking of getting a 3rd one. After reading about some bad experiences with ThePlanet, I'm thinking of moving to a new host.
I've been thinking about those 2: DedicatedNow - Prices are good, and heard service is good as well, but I see they only have operaton 246, wheareas ThePlanet has 265. Also, I see they only have regular Sata drives, and theplanet also has SCSI ones
The second is Softlayer.com - they seem to offer a lot - a good proccesor (operaton 270), sata drives or raptor drives.
Now a question regarding the drives - Is the speed different between scsi and sata worth the money? because the scsi ones are much smaller, and that can be a problem...same questions about the Raptor drives Softlayer has
Anyway, does anyone have any experience with those? or can offer a different host that will be good to my demands? (Should host some large sites with a few large PhotoPost galleries, a few VB forums, so I need a strong cpu, 3+ gigs of ram, 2-3 TB of bandwidth, and at least 250 gb HDs, all for around $400)
Thanks.
I use http://www.layeredtech.com/servers.shtml
I have never had an issue with them and their prices too me atleast, are more than fair.

Whats your plan? I was thinking about gettin a Layer4 but im not sure wich configuration. The only thing im sure is that i want an Opteron an 2Gb Ram minimun.
Ever heard of www.cari.net? There prices are pretty good
Softlayer totally rocks, just got my second server thru them and coulndt be happer, Always fast to perform hardware changes, they are always more then happy to help and support is top notch.
I've read good thigns about layeredtech but have no personal experience with them :D
LayeredTech.com is a very good choice, I went for a special of the month and got a good one with an upgrade to a 250 GB HDD, 100 Mbps connection, and CPanel/WHM pre-installed.
