I need a fairly high bandwidth (200gb+) uk based dedicated server running linux. No management is required, just reliable hardware. The budget upto £700 inc vat. per year, preferably a monthly contract at first.
I have a dedicated server already, and the provider lets me use their nameservers. But I'd quite like to start handling my own dns.
I have future plans to add a 3rd server just for email, so would have to update all domain's mx records. Probably better to start moving all the domains over to nameservers I control, so I can configure them at will. And juggle domains to optimise bandwidth/performance across both servers.
My technician said their might be a performance hit running dns on my website hosting machines, but it's new territory for us both. So I'd appreciate some advice on this matter.
Other than that it's just down to the best package, be it focused on bandwidth, performance, or price. Just so long as it has over 200gb a month bandwidth.

As for the performance issue with running DNS on the same machine as your web server, in my experience this will have little to no effect. DNS is not a particuarly resource-intensive activity.

Hi Jamin,
I definetely agree with Chris. In my experience DNS isn't going to take a huge hit on your load. You are correct with email taking a load though, should you build up a busy server with spam filters enabled etc.
We currently have a P4 2.4 / 80GB hard disk / 1GB RAM in stock.
We can offer this for £74.99 a month, with a £19.99 setup.
