So i have a dilemna. In the last 3 days my traffic has gone thruogh the roof and my poor server is now officially having a heart attack. Averaging 50 requests a second.

So with that said, I need a new server. I need a DEDICATED server, with a good whack of bandwith and storage, that uses PAYPAL preferably.

Can somebody make some good recommendations? Need to get this going right away!

Thats great news and bad news, but more traffic(as long as its the kinda you want) is always good.

I'm in a position where I'm about to launch new services but need a dedicated too but don't want to get it too soon. What sort of dedicated do you need?

EDIT: I just remembered reading in Dan Grossman's blog about http://www.15minuteservers.com/, they accept paypal and seem to have a good range(but don't know anybody other than Dan using them).

www.nocster.com

I would go with ev1servers.com over Nocster, but ev1 doesn't accept PayPal.

I am not really picky...

- decent cpu
- good storage
- good bw
- cpanel
- paypal payment

I dont HAVE to use paypal, but its my preferred. Thanks guys, keep the suggestions coming please.

From when I read alot about the hosting market a few companys are:

www.ev1servers.com
www.nocster.com (BurstNET)
www.servermatrix.com (ThePlanet)

www.15minuteservers.com is owned by NAC.net, who are quite reputable I believe.

i might be able to help you out with some hosting, since i now have a server of my own, let me know what you need. I am not doing hosting, only making up some of my monthly costs... so i will be offering people some space, for cheap.
