cheap server

If you want a cheap server then most likely it'll sit near-idle most of the time and you could make do with a Virtual Dedicated Server, aka VDS or VPS (Private.) On a proper VDS you'll get full root access and, essentially, the machine is exactly equal to a dedicated server. You just can't fiddle with the kernel. So you have all the flexibility, etc.

Multiple VDSs are squeezed into one physical server, so for example you can purchase a VDS with say 256Mb RAM, 20Gb disk space, etc. They're really good if you just need the flexibility but not all the power, and price is important.

They're also normally hosted on top-end hardware so you should get decent performance :)

We use 2host.co.uk who start at around £19.99/mo + VAT. Pretty darn good value for money if you ask me :)

Sorry, I was blurting out unrelated examples :)

128Mb, 10Gb disk, 100Gb and possibly cPanel for £19.99/mo + VAT, but I bought one a while ago so it might be outdated (huge Redbus pricing increases :( ) :)

dont worry!

now its a question of a server or a vps ill have to decide over the weekend and then go for it on monday! although the vps route is looking more tempting.
 
ok i see 1&1 internet do a value server for £35 inclusive per month with 40gb hdd 256mb ram and 25gb data transfer! is this any good?
 
like i said befor all i need is a cheap server that will support max 25-40 sites at a time running its on dns management and mailbox server hopefully with plesk.
 
ok i have just signed up for a vps account! it comes with plesk 7.5.4 is it worth updating it to 8.0.1? through the updater option menu? i mean the mysql 4 support would defo be worth the update! What do you guys think? just asking because i use on some sites i have produced text pattern content management system.
