Dedicated server for $30/month

Thanks to the Google ads I have on my site, I recently came across a pretty damn good deal for a dedicated server. Right now I’m running all my mail and web sites on a virtual private server from Linode.com and have no complaints at all. However, I’m paying $40/month for 4GB and 128 MB of dedicated resources – pretty steep.

The add I saw was for ServerPronto.com for a $30/month deal for a wholely dedicated server with a 40GB HDD and 256 MB. Of course I signed up for it just to give it a try and have been please so far. Good bandwidth although it doesn’t have the management console that Linode.com does.

I’m thinking about running all my Java stuff on the dedicated server since it has more memory and just running my mail on the Linode. Seems like a fair compromise for somebody that doesn’t really need two servers out there anyways.

And I thought the Google ads were supposed to make me money, not entice me into buying more stuf…

    2 tickets a mth, Additional tickets $15!!!! a mth. 1 Reboot a mth, Additional reboots... (drums doubling...) $29 each! Guess where the revenue is. Beware, unless your a real linux guru, this is not a good idea.
