Hello,

I spent a long time seeking for a hosting provider, who offer
dedicated servers.
I found a lot of ISPs, who sell dedicated servers based on Unix/Linux
and are instantly active. As i remeber - this service is offered by
RackShack.net.
The problem is i need a firm, who sell Windows based server with P4
1.5GHz, 512 Mb RAM, 50-100 GBs of data transfer and the server must be
setup within a couple of hours. I need at least a couple of such
firms, at most - a list.
This question is very urgent. Please, answer it asap.
So, i am seekeing for a windows-based server (P4 1.5GHz, 512 Mb RAM,
50-100 GBs of data transfer) which must be up and running within a
couple of hours astef submitting online order.

Thank you.

Have you considered dual or quad processor Pentium III servers,
instead of single processor Pentium4 servers?  Given the type of work
the server is doing, you may find multiple Pentium III processors will
outperform a single Pentium4.

Also edshamah...
Have you considered an
AMD processor based server 
running Windows 2000?

snapanswer-ga,

Thank you for attention.
Actually, PIII servers are also ok. But i don't need a server with so
much of power, which dual-based can bring. PIII-P4 with 1.5-1.8GHz are
really enough.
AMD servers are also ok.

Edshamah,
Here are some host that meet your specifications.  Personally, I would
recommend RackSpace.  You can configure the server to your required
specifications, and they can have a server ready in one hour in some
instances, always within 24 hours.  (For a one-hour setup you will
want to speak to a salesperson on the phone).  I have listed other
providers for your comparison.

Unfortunately, Sales is gone for the evening, so I am unable to get a
price quote on this configuration at this time.

I spoke with a representative who said their standard turn around time
is 24 hours, however, you can speak to a sales representative to
accelerate deployment.  According to the representative, they can move
quickly, once your order is processed and payment is confirmed.

Unable to reach a representative to confirm setup time limit.


Rather than wait until Monday to speak to sales people, I decided to
post the information now, since you requested a rapid response.  If
you like, I would be happy to follow-up with sales personnel to get
quotes and deployment time confirmations.  If any of the information
is unclear, please do not hesitate to request a clarification.  I hope
you find the information useful.

The answer is really great and now i am operating at the server i was dreaming of.

Thank you!
