alright, so i've been on various shared hosting plans for years, and am looking for a dedicated server. price isn't as big of an issue as other things, because i obviously want a dedicated server for its reliability. so if i am with a cheap host, i still want them to be reliable.
i've tried CIHost, and while they offer a lot for their price, and good reliability, they don't offer a lot of help setting you up, and i do not know much unix. since i want to host multiple domains and whatnot, its been very difficult. they don't offer a real control panel, just some proprietary thing they created themselves that didnt work half the time. it's been very difficult. they only help you with technical PROBLEMS on their support lines, not questions on how to do things.
i tried ServerMatrix, and even though WHM was installed and everything, i was having difficulty using it. i couldn't get a domain to resolve to the server. then someone told me i needed to contact ServerMatrix and have them set up a domain every time i needed it. but since i have several domains and am always adding new ones, this is kind of ridiculous.
i'd like to try 2advanced.net, because ive always loved their design work, but a) they're freaking expensive, and b) i'm not even sure they're that reliable for their price because they just opened their doors. who knows how long they'll be in business with those prices?
so does anyone know of a host that is reliable, allows for multiple IP addresses/domains, at least 40gb of space, and a very easy-to-use control panel, like cpanel or ensim or something where i won't have to contact them to set up domains for me, and where i wont have to login using ssh and set up everything using unix commands? remember, reliability is key for me, moreso than cost. if you know someone whos expensive but they are completely reliable and easy to use, then let me know.
thanks so much, ive been looking for so long and dont know where to go.
