Hello all.
I'm looking for partners (web administration experience preferred but not necessarily needed) in renting a dedicated server. I already have one prospective partner but am looking for more.
The servers are located in Copenhagen, Denmark and are connected at 100mbps (4 1Gbps burstable network connections).
If I can get 1 or 2 partners, i will be pursuing this server:
Fedora Core 2 Intel Celeron 2.2Ghz server with 512MB DDR RAM, 40 disk space, 10000 GB bandwidth/month and 1 IP addresses.
Price is 60 GBP or about 113$/month. Split 3 ways about 38$/month.
The only thing you cannot use it for is IRC.
If i get three or more partners, I will be pursing this:
Fedora Core 2 Intel Celeron 2.4Ghz server with 512 DDR RAM RAM, 80 disk space, 10000 GB bandwidth/month and 5 IP addresses. Daily automated backups no matter how large your data is. This can then be restored at any time via your ssh console or by a technician.
The cost would be 80 GBP/month or about 151$/month. Split 3 ways would be about 50$/month, split 4 ways would be 38$/month, split 5 ways would be 30$/month.
let me know if you are interested.

i was recently looking for a partner to run a hosting company, i rcently shutdown a hostin g company i owned which was very successful and had over 200visitors a day. i can easily redirect that domain to our new hosting company so we dont have to worry about visitors. and i can get much better specs for a server for alot cheaper than your getting. i think this could work out. PM me if your intrested.

I can help with the hosting company but as I do not live in Europe or have no money I don't think I will be of much use but if you need me tell me.

Where did you find this? A server at that price is a big scam.

I have a lightly loaded server in The Planet DC which we could probably work out a deal on.
It's running cPanel with CpanelXP theme & Fantastico.

Im throwing my recommendation out for Dragonlordgod, he's a great host with a big client base. He takes good care of his customers, so I suggest you take him up on it. :)

I emailed them and they said they are all out of servers until they get more in 2 weeks. That was last week...i know not to trust a company just based on them being 'out' of servers perhaps because of customer demand.
I checked out dragonlord's servers, they look really good but too much for my budget right now. Perhaps if conditions were otherwise, i'd go for a very high-quality server/hosting service such as dragonlord's, however for now i just need an unmanaged server. I also have a friend who has knowledge with server administration so even if I am not knowledgeable with it, I have an adminstrator.

I wouldn't go with that site if i were you jonesy2crazy, It definitely sounds like a scam!

can you refer me to any unmanged dedicated servers?
40GB HD or more, 500-1000GB transfer, fedora 2, no CP needed (unless webmin is installed free otherwise my friend will install it) and 100mbps connection.
Price range, i'm looking for under 100$/month.
Just need a bare server, no outstanding tech support or service, just me and my server. :-)

We can provide an unmanaged Celeron 2.4 521Mb memory 80Gb HD 1000Gb transfer on a 100Mbs port.
$95/month with $25 one-time setup
or
AMD Sempron 2600/512/80/1000
$85/month with $25 one-time setup
FC2 may be able to be provided, but as it's legacy, I'd suggest FC3 or CentOS.
These are not on the web site, but pleae feel free to contact me directly.

I would be glad to work with you in more detail on a partnership basis. If you are intrested please let me know my email is dmotova@gmail.com

layeredtech has great deals, except for those set up fees.
i'm currently looking at vrtservers, which offer a promo with free setup. if i could get that with layeredtech, i might go with them instead. I will be getting a server in the next week or so...with or without the third partner.

I tell you what, if you can get a server with a good reputation and free setup, then youve done better than 3/4 of the people here :wink2:

I'd say steer clear of valueserver.de.
One, they state VAT (a UK only tax) applicable, if based in Germay as they state they have no right to charge nor will they have to pay it, and at the wrong rate 16% - the VAT rate in the UK is 15%.
All seems a bit dodgy.

PS - which is more important for you jonesy2crazy, cost or kit?
We can always help out in either case, and since your starting out on it we can help with a bit of exposure and just about anything really :) sort of a helping hand at the start.
Bare server is not a prob, good on you actually. And we'll be in the background if you need a bit of a hand :)

If your still looking for the third partner or whatever, I might be interested. I know a good majority about administration of a company as well as other things. PM me if you would like to talk about it. Take care.

Dodgy like your tax advise :)
VAT is Europe wide and charged at different rates in each country. UK is 17.5%, not 15%. If you buy from anywhere in Europe (there's one or two exceptions, but not many) then you are liable for VAT. If the company exceeds the local turnover threshold, then they have to charge VAT on any sales to other European residents.
As your address is shown as Scotland, you might want to have a session with your accountant to ensure your books are in order if you've been using the wrong VAT rate :)

Yep - I skipped the 7. on the post - damn these fingers.
You should realise that trading internationally certain taxes are relevant and certain are not meaniing you may be taxing an exempt individual.
Unless you do all sorts of checks on origin of sale and business background, registered office, banking details for payment dispersal.
More to it than just that, it's not the norm to refer to it as VAT (Value Added Tax - a contradiction in it's own right) outside the UK, I'll admit I'd have to look in to that one in specific but it's the accepted methodoligy to refer to it as sales tax.
As the service is an invisible export, different taxation situations will occur if you fall under this including export taxes and license fees. For those that buy that may need an export license number for reclaiming tax elements - well it all gets really complex and not usually involked at these levels. As it's really not worth the admin and paperwork time.
Think my advice is okay actually :)
