I recently received some emails asking about the kind of hosting that I was using for ghacks.net and I decided that it would be a nice idea to write about it in an article. Ghacks is running on a dedicated server provided by the German company Hetzner with the following details: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ cpu, 2 GB DDR 400 Ram, 2x 160 GB SATA hard drives, unlimited traffic and Suse 10.0 as its operating system.
I never experienced problems with the server and the price will blow most of you away I think, it is only 59 Euro a month with everything included. 59 Euros are about 70$ a month, still a bargain I’d say. Some of the services they offer are free phone support, 24/7 reset service, full root access (of course), 50 GB backup space, six IPs and much more. The link above is a link to their english page.
They offer three different kinds of rootservers besides the one that ghacks is hosted on. The cheapest for 29 Euros a month, the most expensive one for 79 Euros. I don’t think you can find a company that is able to compete with that, well not many at least.
You are free to choose one of the following linux operating systems when you setup the account:
32-Bit:
- Debian 3.1 min/LAMP
- Ubuntu 6.06 min SuSE 10.0 min/LAMP
- SuSE 10.1 min/LAMP
64-Bit:
- Debian 3.1 min/LAMP
- Ubuntu 6.06 min, CentOS 4.3 min SuSE 10.0 min/LAMP
- SuSE 10.1 min/LAMP
I can really recommend them..
