[PLUG] Dedicated hosting provider

[Tim Thorpe]

Plesk is nice if not a bit spendy I am a fan of h-sphere and it gets rave
reviews in the web hosting industry as well. You really can't go wrong with
either of them in my opinion. I avoid theplanet like the pluage, they have
severe issues with being on e-mail blackhole lists and other less then
appealing issues.

If the service is absolutely mission critical then price shouldn't be an
option and I would personally go with rackspace in that situation, but you
do get to pay for them ;)

Serverbeach is a great dedicated host, they are extremely reliable and
inexpensive, they also offer plesk, cpanel or ensim with their packages
which start at 99.00 bucks. The one I quickly priced out was 129.00 with
plesk 7.1 plus a 59.00 setup fee bringing to startup total to 208 for the
first month and 129.00 each month after that. if your are unsure as to which
control panel you'd like you can talk to them and they will let you test out
the 3 that they offer.

there are a lot of options out there of course, but I've had great
experiances with both companies.
