Hi,

I'm starting a new site really soon, and its going to need a dedicated server. I basically need a dedicated server because the site is extremly database intensive. I'm almost broke, so I need to get a real cheap Raq until the site starts to make money.

I remember seeing some Cheap Raq's for sale somewhere, but ever since I sold WebhostArea.com I haven't kept up with the webhosting industry. I was hoping to get a basic system

i.e.

Raq 3
20GB Bandwidth
64MB Ram
5GB Harddisk

For about $80 a month. Does anyone know if these sorts of deals are available? Thanks!

G'Day Eva,

I'm sitting my HSC in a few weeks. I decided a few months ago to sell Webhost Area so that I could study for the HSC and give my self a chance of doing well :)

After I do that I'm looking to start a new site which is going to pretty fun rather then being webmaster orientated. Its gonna need the dedicated system though, and it looks like Internet Express is gonna be the one.

Cheers,

Michael

64MB - not really enough for MySQL probably.

Try www.rackshack.net

They had $99 deals for RAQ4i with 256MB RAM and they work well with VB.

Also PHP is pre-installed. Just add MySQL!

Why not go with Rackshack.net for $99 you get a:

Raq4,
300Gb bandwidth a month,
20Gb space,

And its only a few dollars more than what you were going to pay anyway.

Thats an extra $40 Aussie Dollars per month, Plus there is a $250 US ($500 Aus) set up fee with Rackshack. I'm really broke at the moment, and the site wouldn't make money for atleast... 3 months probably.

Cheers,
