I’ve been hosting this blog and my other sites with PowerVPS for at over 2 years now and things have gone generally ok, with PowerVPS providing good support for my Dedicated Server. PowerVPS gave me a very good deal on my dedicated server, but recently it has been struggling. I think this has been driven by sheer traffic growth thanks to Windows 7 News, which is now the biggest site in terms of traffic and is getting close to a run rate of 1m page views per month.
So, I think it’s time for an upgrade to a server that can handle future growth. I don’t really want to spend more than $250-300/pm for a fully managed dedicated server with full management. I’m sure there are a lot of good deals out there at the moment. The spec I’m trying to improve on is:
- OS: Centos 4
- CPU: Pentium D 3.0GHz
- Ram: 4GB DDR2 533
- Hard drive: 2 x 300GB Maxtor SATAII
Who would you recommend?
