At what point would you go dedicated?
| Posted by Taylor, 05-17-2003, 07:42 PM |
| Was wondering at what point most of you reccomend or did go to a dedicated server from a reseller account?
Would you reccomend going to a ded right when your first reseller account is full or would it be better to repurchase multiple reseller accounts?
Thanks

| When you are pulling in a lot of money, so that you can get a good account, with cpanel, and an admin.

| if its fully managed you shouldnt need to know any more than you would as a reseller.

| Go dedicated when you have 3 times the cost of the server, as your 30 day revenue. Also ded servers just don't run themselves. You'll need 24x7 staffing, for emergency reboots, updates etc. Don't think of a server as just the hardware/network. Think of the human componant too, and factor that into your cashflow.

| Not if you have fully managed servers and your provider is monitoring them.

| Depends on what folks define as "fully managed". I know a lot of ded server providers have very differring viewpoints on that definition. It's more a marketing phrase, these days, than anything, IMO.

| In that case you need to ask your provider what exactly they will and wont do.
