I'm starting to think that it might be worthwhile for me to get my own
server, on which I can host my own sites and my clients' sites, instead of
outsourcing every new hosting account like I do now.

I'm looking for suggestions of good hosts, things to watch out for, co-lo
vs. dedicated, or alternate solutions from people who've been through the
same process before.

Thanks!

Josh,

I am Dan from <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.dynamohosting.net" target="_blank">www.dynamohosting.net</a> . Here are a couple pointers:

- do not get a dedicated server unless you know what your doing. If you
cannot properly administer a server, you will render the server unsecure and
your clients will experience heavy downtime.
- dedicated and colo are both very expensive options

We recommend you get a reseller account. This way, instead of outsourcing
accounts, you have a reseller account on a server. This gets you a control
panel to add and delete users and such, and a control panel for your
clients. Also it can be very cheap and then you dont need to know how to
administer a server.

A dedicated server will run about 200/month for a decent one, however you
can get a really nice reseller account from us for anywhere from
20-125/month.

If you are interested in a reseller account, please send an email to
sales.TakeThisOut@dynamohosting.net and we can answer your questions and provide a
quote.

Thanks,
Dan

some of the issues are the same as with simple one-site hosting. need to
know platform/throughput and disk storage requirements. In addition it
would be useful to know how many domains/accounts you are talking about.

next up is support - how much hand-holding do you need? one badly handled
service issue can make a 10 eurobucks (any currency) saving seem like an
expensive luxury

Server management - do you have the skills/resources to manage a server?


Reseller accounts are a good way to start - You earn your markup by fielding
all those "how do I send an email?" queries.

Dedicated/colo frees you from issues generated by other developers but puts
all your eggs in one basket. Managed dedicated is probably the best next
step up from reseller as you will (usually) have fairly fixed costs but it's
more expensive than buying your own server and renting rackspace/bandwidth
direct.

Shortly before world domination you will have commissioned your own
purpose-built data centre(s) staffed by incredibly beautiful techies that
all want to bear your children.

Program to let me know if a server is up - Anyone know of a program which will sit either on the taskbar in the systray in Win 2000 that will tell me if a website is up or not - preferably by way of a small light which changes from green to red (or amber whatever). I've seen quite a few programs...
