UK based dedicated server

jamin · 17th April 2005

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.

Hi Jamin

We can offer you:

AMD64 3000
1gb Corsair DDR RAM
80gb SATA Hard Drive

1000gb bandwidth

100mbps connection

£100 setup

An IP to test: 195.242.212.123

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.

Please email me on chris.byrd@openhosting.co.uk with any comments or questions
