Dailtoneinternet Vs. venturesonline

I have to move my fourm this week to one of the above. What Do You Think?

[eva2000]

i am with www.venturesonline.com and so are a few vB owners that i recommended them to - i am on their dedicated server plan 4 and tomorrow have an upgrade for additional 256mb ram :)

check out their forums www.venturesonline.com/forums/

their internet backbone provider did have an outage recently but all clients are getting compensated for it (hence my additional 256mb ram upgrade :) )

if you're looking at virtual hosting with www.venturesonline.com their servers used to share accounts is pretty beefy at Dual p3 1000mhz, 1gb ram servers and you safe for up to 45 max connections on virtual accounts.

You're getting compensated for it? I haven't even gotten an "official explanation" from my host, let alone compensation. Jerks. I am so ready to move to VO (not just for this, but I've been looking at them for a while and they seem right for my site).

Now I am confused more and more with:

http://www.hostgenie.net/servers/linuxservers.html

Enterprise


Pentium® III 1Ghz
512MB PC100 SDRAM
40 GB HDD (8ms Access Or Less!)
Intel Pro/100+ 10/100 NIC card
Linux Red Hat - FreeBSD or Slackware OS
Setup: FREE
Montly $299.00


It looks too good to be true and there is 30 days money back gurantee too. But notice the "Montly" not Monthly and no physical address or Company Info. Add to that the lack of details about installed software.

So What do you think Again.

who is Dailtoneinternet ? What's their address? As far as venturesonline is concerned you can't beat their customer service! If you are going dedicated--definitely get them.

As far as prices go, dialtoneinternet appear better for cheaper ones but venturesonline better for more expensive ones (dual processors lots of ram). If you want 1GB ram you will pay a monthly fortune for it at dialtoneinternet.

If anyone does want a server at dialtoninternet, i am a reseller so can get it for you cheaper. Not all the servers are avaliable for resale though but you can get them for around $100/month which is not bad for a dedi sever.

I knew about dialtoneinternet form the following site,

http://webserverlist.developersnetwork.com/Awards/viewAwards.asp

It has got the third place. It seems to be a mature and solid company with comptitive prices. The only bad thing about them is the minimum 6 month contract limit.

Finally I decided to try my luck with the genie.

I will describe my experince after one month.
