Onderwerp: high bandwidth, flatfee dedicated servers

We are managed dedicated server provider in the Netherlands, specialized in CPanel managed servers, and are definately able to do a good offer for your servers.

I'd like to know however what your budget per server is (aproximately). For example, for a quality dell server, you'll end up paying a little more a month then a desktop server..

Also, may I ask you who your current provider is?

Thank you all for your responses, I have had a lot of emails and a lot of interest and I appreciate every offer being made. I am waiting for some final offers and chat requests to be completed, then will be analysing my options and deciding next week.

Dillard - my clients run various sites from online forums, computer & product sales, online data repositories, live chat and product support, etc. And, yes, this does include legal adult sites.

McRox, I am currently paying a base amount per server plus Euro10 per mbps bandwidth. All my servers are brand name servers (not whiteboxes or desktops).

Thank you,
