Hey all, I am looking to get some input regarding inexpensive dedicated servers -- preferably with a hosting company the offers CentOS as an OS option. Does anybody have any input or recommendations? I'd really like to support a company that uses CentOS. And there are _so many options out there, is kind of overwhelming. Thanks, Ryan

[Centos] OT -- Inexpensive CentOS dedicated servers?
Hi, We have servers with Netrino (netrino.co.uk). You can have the OS you choose with these. The servers and support are very very good from Netrino.

Without RHEL, there would be no <insert_RHEL_clone_here> distribution. Granted, the CentOS is a wonderful project, and I continue using and supporting (see below) as long as it's useful to me, but if you're going to support something with _money_, why not put it where it will actually benefit the CentOS developers and community? Buying webspace from a company using CentOS supports nobody but the company hosting your account. They paid no funds to further the development of CentOS; Red Hat and its customers do. By spending your money on a company that uses RHEL, you're helping to ensure that RHEL is successful. So long as RHEL is successful (barring any changes in policy from Red Hat), CentOS can continue to derive their releases from RHEL. That said, if you really want to support CentOS, there is a donation form on the Caosity site (http://www.caosity.org/contributing/donations), which sponsors the CentOS project. Other non-monetary ways of supporting CentOS are: - helping others in the mailing list and web forums - documentation (FAQ) - bug reports to Red Hat (which benefit us all) Thanks, -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net

They made some mass-licensing deal with RH and run their own satellite server for updates. I've been a customer for almost a year now and I've been incredibly happy. I ordered a 2.0GHz celeron machine but they only had 2.4's so they gave me one of those at no extra cost. I originally started out on a 1000GB/month plan but at some point they just upped it to 1200/month, again no extra cost. My favorite part though is their 2-ring SLA. I've used it three times, and each time *bang* real live human on the phone in 2 rings. -jim
