Moving a server from one web hosting provider is always painful. Not only is there a lot of work to be done, but you are also paying for 2 dedicated servers at the same time. But there are options available if you pick the right web hosting provider for your next decicated web server. Did you know that you can get a free month of web hosting for your new server when moving from another web host? ThePlanet.com has an ongoing special that will give you one free month of web hosting when you move to ThePlanet.com from a different web host. It is easy to get the credit applied to your account. All you need to do is to show your last invoice from the other web host and you instantly save money. You can do this through the “Orbit” control panel by opening a ticket to the Sales Department or you can talk to a sales rep while ordering your server.

This is a great way to save money as it gives you an entire month of time to fully customize your web server and then move all the websites over. The last time I moved a server over from Softlayer to ThePlanet.com I was actually able to time the entire thing in a way that I probably saved $150 or so in web hosting fees. It was quite some work as I had to move about 45 websites to the new server, but I did it all on one single weekend and was able to cancel the old server before a new billing period started. Good stuff. This special is actually going on for a while now as you can see from my own experience. I moved my business over to ThePlanet during the summer of 2007 and the server at ThePlanet.com has been good for me (and my websites). Great uptime and good support from the folks at ThePlanet.com.

So, get a great dedicated web server at ThePlanet.com and save money the moment your new server is up and running.

Cheap Dedicated Servers

While browsing for web hosting everything was beginning to look the same, what I was looking for was  a good solid company for some heavy hosting. When I found ThePlanet.com
I was able to immediately speak with a sales representative over live chat. The sales representative really helped me and she was able to show me what really works at theplanet.com. They truly are a serious hosting company and their pricing is beyond competitive! It outshone anything I had found in all of my research.

For the features that I get with my plan I feel like I get a fantastic deal. The support is what I have found to the best thing about this host., it is truly top notch. The server I received came with built-in-support and this was at no extra cost. The built in support included a ton of great features that I did not think I would be able to get for this low price, including tech support available 24/7, network wide DDoC mitigation system and a remote reboot and remote OS reload system. I run a medium sized business and would recommend this host for anyone with the need for a dedicated web server to handle a busy ecommerce website.

 When my business began to grow I knew I was going to need a dedicated server. On theplanet.com there are a ton of hardware and configurations to choose form. It really is a buffet for people looking for dedicated hosting, there are nearly infinite choices!. I’d have to end by stressing that theplanet.com is not just for hosting a website, it provides the infrastructure and power to implement web apps and business solutions for your internal use and for your clients. It is like renting an IT dept and all the hardware that comes with it, for a much better cost. Fantastic!

Lunarpages for Dedicated Server Hosting?

If you need a dedicated server to host your website(s) I am sure you are going to look around quite a bit. Prices, features, and service are quite different all over the place. I was recently doing research for a website of mine that has grown quite a bit and might need a dedicated web server as the next step to be able to provide visitors with a good experience. A friend of mine recommended Lunarpages. I know Lunarpages for shared web hosting and VPS hosting, but I never really considered them to be a web host for a dedicated web server.

I reviewed the dedicated server offerings and while the offers are Ok, I would not consider them my first choice when looking for a dedicated server. Why? There is not much choice and that choice that is available is very limited in its ability to compete with other web hosts that offer dedicated servers. If you visit Theplanet.com or Liquidweb.com you can customize a dedicated server to your needs. If you shop at Lunarpages you have no choices available when it comes to customization. The offered dedicated servers are cheap in price and if your needs are covered by the offered server offerings – good for you. But this type of web hosting offering does not fit the webmaster who requires something more special.

So, my conclusion is: if you need a basic dedicated web server at a low price, Lunarpages might be a great choice for you. If you need something more sophisticated and more powerful and don’t mind to pay a little more, then Theplanet.com or Liquidweb.com are your better choice.
