I'd like a dedicated server..

I am currently running a reseller account here at Rochen.

How much would it cost me to have the account upgraded to a full server?

1000MB Space 60GB Transfer (with all my current reseller options)..WHM, cPanel, Fantastico, etc..

I have just leased a server from ev1, but in the first week I have had several MAJOR problems and they will NOT help me.. (don't even get me started).

I have been with Rochen for over a year and I wouldn't know where the support link is even located (and I am being honest).

Rochen is by far THE best hosting provider on the face of the earth.

I have used many.. ValueWeb, McHost (DEFINATELY DON'T GET ME STARTED ON MCHOST), and now ev1.. I have had problems with all of these places, but not ONE problem with Rochen. I don't think my website has even been down. Not once. I've never got an email saying: we're upgrading this or that, your site will be down, etc..

Rochen, how much can you give me this server for?

Quote:
Intel Celeron 1.3 GHz
512 RAM - 60 GB Hard Drive
1000 GB Monthly Transfer
..it's the one I just started leasing, but ev1 wont be getting another payment next month! I'm gone!

Oh, I have asked already..

http://forums.rochen.com/showthread....0478#post10478

..hmm, can't you go a little bit cheaper?

I know your prices are worth every cent, but it would be nice if you could do a little better. Is there a setup fee?

..I don't think I ever got that list.

If you want cheaper, its best to advertise shareing a deadicated, and starting group. If you find a series of likely minded people, it gets a lot cheap... i.e. 4 way split.

I just cancelled my service with ev1 after being with them for less than a week, and I have pointed all my domains back to my Rochen reseller account (which I've grown out of).

..looking for a new server. I'd love to get one here, I really would, but the price is out of my range. It's a real shame.

I'd consider sharing, but I'd realy like to have a server to myself. Even if it's just a little celeron. That way I can move when I want without affecting anyone else.

My plans are to host free sites on a small server, and when things get busy and I have a few upgrades to paid plans, i'll move all the files to a faster server.

Paying $400 a month off the bat, and offering hosting for free isn't a very good business plan.

I'm still thinking.. haven't come up with a solution yet.

..if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

I really can't afford more than US $140 per month.

I'm looking for something like:

Intel Celeron 1.3 GHz
512 RAM - 60 GB Hard Drive
1000 GB Monthly Transfer

..support really insn't necessary in most cases, but I need help with DNS to get things set up. After that, no one will hear from me. I don't think I've contacted Rochen support ever, (except at the very start).

..but then again, it's because of Rochen's great service that I've never had to.

..i'm workin' on it.

..donno what I'm gonna do yet

I would, but the largest plan is only twice the size that I have, and that's full. I'll be in the same boat again by next month.

What about purchasing another reseller account? Can Rochen merge the space and bandwidth into one account?

Back in business!

Thanks Brad. I am so happy, I don't have the words to describe.

Now I can get back to building my business, (which is all I ever wanted to do in the first place).. and you've saved the day when I thought I was going to have to choose between paying big money or getting lousy service.

You've offered me and newezone a great compromise
