Hi all,

Considering moving to a dedicated server with either layered tech or the planet...

sameish price just about $10 more at the planet but ive heard good things there...

Anyway what do you guys think? Any scare storys about either of these?

Many thanks,
Sir P

I wouldn't really recommend the planet (having had a few servers there over the years) - their "managed" service may as well not be, and they're also widely known as a spam tolerant provider, and therefore are very readily blacklisted. We had various other specific problems with their services that I don't expect you'd encounter, and I'd rather not discuss them - suffice to say that our experiences with TP were less than perfect.

I haven't got anything reliable to add about layered tech, so no comment either way from me - hopefully someone else can fill you in on them.

consider switch to hostgator dedicated server, fully managed by them. and is located at the planet.

i having shared hosting with them, at the planet, and the server is very good.

thanks for the replies.

il bae that in mind damien, cheers...

charles, hostgators cheapest dedicated sever is well over priced.. but I guess you are paying for the management.. i'm going for a unmanaged system

cheers again
