Webspace needed
Sadly it is time to move our beloved CDZ once again. At the moment we're piggybacking on Swingue's server but we this isn't a permanent solution.
I've looked around abit for server space but there's a lot of companies out there and I don't have a clue which are good and which are crap. So I;m hoping some of you have some good tips. The specs we need: - able to host different domain names in one package - at least 5 GB of storage space. We're between 2.5 and 3 GB atm, most are uploads though. I expect we'll be ok with 5GB for a while, if 10 GB is reasonably priced that would be better ofc - able to run PHP scripts - MySQL Databases included. (at least 2) - able to create pop boxes on different domain names - Since we're a rather small site in the grand scheme of things, server CPU and RAM specs don't matter that much I reckon We're operating on a Windows platform atm, but we should be allright in a linux one as well. Obviously I'd like it to be as cheap as possible, but I'd rather not sacrifice decent service for a few bucks. So too shady companies are a no-no, cause I'd like this move to be the last one in a long time PP

I was thinking along the lines of a virtual private server. That would be more expensive (€30-€80 a month) but you'll have a bit more freedom to install stuff and you can facilitate more domains at once.

Believe me, that's a lot cheaper than the server we're on atm

My site of straland.com is hosted at Digitalus for years, and I very satisfied! They have 4GB for €14,50/m and 12GB for €35,-/m. They offer way too many e-mail addresses and traffic for that money though, so if you would decide to deal with them you could ask for a specific offer. They do run on Linux.

The question is: Do we want to run pitboss on that server? If so, then I guess, that won't work in Linux, right?
Asking for anoffer because they have too much traffic? Strange...
