I have just started designing and hosting websites, I am reselling at the moment and wish to get a server as soon as, where can I get a server from? How much will it cost? how do I connect it to the internet? and how much will it cost?

You really should just lease a dedicated server rather than buy one and plug it in yourself. The economics just make better sense.

Are you in need of a Windows server or a Unix server?

A Windows server. How much should I be looking at paying for leasing a server?? US dollars will be fine. Do I lease a whole server or just some space on a server??+

You can lease a dedicated windows 2003 server for anywhere from $119 a month (serverbeach) to $225ish per month from somewhere like ServePath.

Check out www.serversmart.com for some good dedicated server comparisons among top providers.

For just a serer or 2, that really is a much more economical way to go, IMO.

A lot of folks hate and love the company formerly know as rackshack ;) I like DV2 (tranxactglobal.com). I hear you can get $50 servers with fdc but I also heard bandwidth is not so hotso...

For the most part you get what you pay for.

:) Hi dmf16,
I think that all you would need is a reseller package to start with and as you grow you could upgrade to either a larger reseller package or a managed dedicated server.
