dedicated server hosting

[kroustibat]

Hello all,

For one of my arcade web project, i'll need a dedicated web server. looking at some well known hosts in belgium, that'd give me a bill of 600e euros/year for the first not 'atom' cpu powered server. Do you know some reliable host giving gud price ?

Or anyone interested in sharing server  ?

thanks all

Do you really need a dedicated server? Not shared hosting or, at the worst, a VPS? It takes a lot of resources/traffic to need your own machine.

For a VPS I've been happy with http://linode.com, they have several locations available including London. If you want a European company, I'd go for http://leaseweb.com in the Netherlands, they also do dedicated servers and have a solid reputation.

If you just want cheap and don't care about anything else, then head to France: http://www.kimsufi.com/

For shared hosting, my best experience has been with http://webfaction.com

thanks Colin,

my problem is , i have a postgres database (i can change it to mysql) BUT i've a scheduled agent which populate the database. That's this agent who force me to have a dedicated server. None of the regular hosts allow 'external' access to database.

Webfaction might, check with them. They give you practically all the advantages of a dedicated server without the server.

Or just write a script that does it from the command line using something like fabric, chef or capistrano.
