have you looked into vps? you can do everything but for way less, like $9.95/Mo. I wish we offered it.
Are you sure you need a dedicated server? Those specs are really inline with shared hosting or a reseller acount. What script are you running?
VPS is a virtual private server, it's a dedicated server with multiple "mini" servers on it. The system will give you an allocated amount of CPU to use. It will function ine very way was a dedicated, just not as large scale. Check it out at http://www.hostingdepartment.net/vps.html
Thanks,

It's called CGIProxy, and was created by John Marhsall.Galaxy-Hosts.com said:
Thanks for the link utcrazy, but as you can tell, the amounts of disk space and badwidth i would recieve for far overshadow what i would be using or NEEDING.
I don't even really need 5GB of space, but the two shared hosting hosts that I have used said that the script uses too many system resources, but my site revolves mainly around this script, and I get MANY visitors daily.
VPS seem like the would offer too much, as well as dedicated servers.
Is there any way I could host this script without having to worry about CPU usage? I'm tired of having my account suspended, and I don't have $18 a month to shell out for space and bandwidth I WONT use.
Hey,
I think the plan "The 64" from http://www.unixshell.com/plans.html would fit your needs the best right now? That's just what I have off the top of my head.
Try to post another link or two if I can remeber any.
Good luck,
Tang
EDITED: This site also has a special offer recently (not sure if its over or not and its not in english but get google to translate it or something): http://vuokrapalvelin.net/page.php?2

I was looking at that, and it closely matches what I would need, but it offers too much. The prices are VERY reasonable, but I just don't need that much at this time.computerhelpworld said:
I'd love to stay with a shared plan, but no hosts seem to want to deal with this script.
I'm not positive what this means, but my host sent it to me:computerhelpworld said:

also, your hosting seems GREAT, computerhelpworld. If somehow your servers could handle my request, I would definately look into hosting with you.

Ok, then check out godaddy.com, I think they have a smaller VPS then that.
Okay, well I got one of our more technical guys to take a look at that "log" you sent me and as far as we can tell it doesn't tell you anything.
That log only shows you how many packets sent (the big S) and received (the big R). And I don't think that is enough evidence or support to say that you were using too much resources. What you need to try and get your hands on is the raw access logs.
Oh and what is your site's URL?
EDIT: Another thing, I've used the script before and it shouldn't be so hard on the resources..especially if your only using 10 GB of bandwidth..maybe I'm missing something but the numbers don't seem to add up here.

Just googled "small VPS" and found this http://www.unixshell.com/plans.html

Heh, I already gave him that link several posts back and he has replied to that url also.
It's late isn't it?Well I'm off for the night. Contact me through email if you want corizzle (tang_tang@walla.com is my msn or tang_tang@digitalworldhost.com).
opps, sorry, I must have missed that post :cool2:
giving you the URL would prove useless, because as of this moment, I have no site, because they suspended my account.computerhelpworld said:
I'll see if I can ask my host for raw access logs.
And another thing, since the beginning of March, my site hasn't even used 1 GIG of bandwidth yet, so I don't really see how their claim is true, but I'll see if I can get any evidence from them...
