I just went through a hellacious ordeal. I have supposedly had a dedicated server for the last 6 days - but it's only been up on rare occassion. Today it's been down the whole day - and my support rep won't respond to me at all. This is for a managed dedicated server
Recommendations anyone?
2 recommendations:
#2. ServInt.net--FAS is hosted on a Virtual Private Server there. We had 2 dedicated servers there for almost 5 years (we used the servers mainly for backups the last 4 years we were there...the first year it was our only host). Very good customer service...but during the first 2 years there one of our servers needed to have parts replaced frequently (by the end of 2 years EVERYTHING from motherboards to memory to power supply had been replaced)--that server was getting 10+ million page views monthly (and the site was heavily CGI/perl based which could have contributed to the problems
. They handle mainly corporate/business accounts. Dedicated servers are here:

#1. Cari.net- My favorite. Their main business is hosting web hosting companies. Great customer service 24/7. Very low rates (especially if you signup for their $50 monthly ISP/reseller program).

Thank you! I'm off to go and check them out.

I can't find a $50 a month ISP/reseller program at cari.net. Am I just missing it or is it no longer available?

http://www.cari.net/reseller-hosting/index.php There is a 10-day free trial. The $50 monthly is w/o MySQL. It's $100 monthly with MySQL.
I've only used their dedicated servers, but Jen has tried their reseller plan.
Is the bear still giving a thumbs up to servint.net?
We're looking at moving to a VPS after the holidays.

You forgot to mention the server that caught fire.

Their customer service for dedicated servers was good.
