Question hostgator.com dedicated servers?

Im looking to get my dedicated windows server set up with them and just wondering if anyone has used them and what they think of them?

I have used them in the past and had nothing but miserable problems, especially in regards to hacking. It's not a terrible solution, but I think you can find better.

Just a couple weeks ago they also had to do a forced user/pass reset do to some rogue employees.

This was the last straw with them when I left their dedicated servers.

I had opened a new account with them (shared hosting) and then about one week after I got this email, not the most professional first impression to say the least.

Yeah, I'd be interested in hearing some recommendations in terms of dedicated servers as well.

They are expensive and geared more towards businesses than individual operations. If you can afford it though, they are worth every penny.

One thing you could try is dreamhost private servers... you can throttle your usage based on what you need (as in a lot of cases a private server may be overkill unless you are getting over 10k uniques per day, or have really resources intense site.

As for hostgator... I use them for one site, so far no problems.

How do you protect your dedicated server?
Almost all my subdomains were "infected" with things like power antivirus 2009 or windows-defense-2k something.
Maybe you heard of those.

I have hostgator, they seem to be getting more.. helpful. Alot more helpful. I don't recomend them at all in shared situations, for a dedicated server .. if you can do it yourself, there have been some options here that were decent serverbeach.com? I think there's an affi link floating around for them. I am not a server do it your selfer though..


Speaking of (hopefully w/o derailing) there was a thread here about a hostgator shared server that lets u have a unique c-block for every site. Anybody have the url for that thread?
