Hi
The server we are hosted on is up and down at regular intervals at present. Our admin is doing all he can to improve the situation but as he is a friend and is doing this as a special deal it is awkward to jump on him for it!

I have been contacted by another company which I have dealings with through our site and they are offering us space on their server. But the question is, what should I be looking for ? I've not had to buy server space for so long now I have no idea and, to be honest, I didn't understand all that much of the content of this forum!

What sort of specs should I be looking for ? :)

This is the details I just received from him:

Our server is a RAQ3 with 256mb ram
30gb Bandwidth a month
Apache 1.3.6
Mysql
PHP 4.1.1 (just installed at it seems to be OK)
20gb of free disk space
Fully Telnet/FTP able
We control our own DNS as well.


Any good ?
