Hey there,
I'm looking for a rock solid dedicated server to run a tracking application. It'll need to handle a few million clicks per day while not skipping a beat.
I'm currently looking at
Liquidweb and
HostDime.
So far, I'm leaning towards a Storm Dedicated E3-1240 V2, 31.5GB ram and a 463GB SSD RAID10 array for $330/mo on
LiquidWeb vs. a 2x E5-2620 V2, 32GB ram and 4x 128GB SSD RAID10 array for $280/mo on
HostDime.
While the LiquidWeb deal is a little more expensive, the HostDime box will get me an additional 16 HT cores in the CPU dept. That would give me a ton of headroom for $60 less every month.
As far as peering goes, HostDime is also connected to the Miami Terremark NAP which should give me great peering to Latin America, where I'll also be getting a lot of traffic from. But I also want a well-rounded host as I'll be getting traffic from the US, Europe and Asia as well.
Any thoughts? Any specific reason why I should choose LiquidWeb besides their "Heroic Support?" I've been with them in the past and have zero complaints. I also love the fact that I can resize and redeploy new servers in seconds on LW--not sure if that's something I can do on HD as well.
Any other providers I should be looking at? Open to all advice and suggestions. Thanks!
