Why not you try VPS or dedicated hosting? More reliable and you have more control on your own hosting. And the best part is you don't have to share with others. Price of course is the issues for some normal webmaster and blogger.

all my blogs right now are on a shared host – with wp-super-cache setup. I'm in the process of shopping for a dedicated server or colocated server as well to power an article directory.

I just checked out cari.net – and their dual quard core machines with 4 gigs of ram are $240/month – thats VERY VERY VERY much less than anywhere I have found by about $150/month (most others were $400/month).

I'll have to take a look at these.

We use LunarPages after having tried several other hosting companies. The best part of LunarPages is that we only have to call them when we want more space. Everything runs smooth as silk and no downtime in the last 8 months.

Good Luck!

Hey Josh,

I’ve been running couple dedicated servers over a year now, I’ve tried Aplus.net, which is horrible.

Now I am on Cari.Net, the great thing about them is they give your money back up to a week for 4 hours of downtime. I’ve had a lot of downtime this week but before that, it was about 99% uptime for almost a year so it’s not bad and their price is pretty good.

But I am always searching for even better, cheaper dedicated servers.

Right now, I run their highest performance server which is the 2XQuad CPU, it sure loads your site about 5 times faster than any shared server.

Do recommend you get a server at least Pentium, don’t get celeron, those things are like garbage.

I don't have a dedicated server yet, but I do use Hostgator for my service now. If/When I switch to dedicated I would most certainly stick with them as service and up time are phenomenal.

They have 4 plans of dedicated servers, starting at $174 per month. I have no idea if that's good or bad yet, as I've never priced them.
