With who, and what are the specs?
@Kairus:

2x Dual Core Xeon 2.66GHz
16GB RAM

Since when does ErrantWeb offer dedicated servers? o0

Professional VPS hosting without RAID is going to get you killed.
+1 on that.
We did offer him free backup to one of our nodes with 6x 1TB 7200RPM Drives in RAID-10.
16GB RAM / 128-384MB VPS in your plans = 60-100 VPSes thrashing around on a single 7200rpm disk.
Actually, even if everyone signs up for your smallest plan, you can only satisfy 20-odd of them due to disk (500GB / 20GB). Even then, it's going to be ugly. Especially when you realize you're paying $120/month + IPs and only getting 25*4.75 = $118.75 in revenue.
Should of contacted me shane, I can hook you up with a cheap L5420 server in the UK. You only have like 5Ghz proccessing power between two processors.
10mbps bandwidth (slow yes, but I plan to upgrade when larger)
10mbit port, or 10mbit 95% b/w? (~3300gb)?
Like others said, one SATA drive isn't going to be able to support the node.
@kairus It would be a 10Mbit/s Capped Connection that is Unmetered on a 100Mbit/s Port.
I will however not be selling this server to him because he has no way of paying for it.
@ErrantWeb: NOT ENOUGH to pay for it. :P
Expect me to find something soon.
:P find a different hobby!
LOL.
@Kairus: I'm getting into shared hosting instead: less expense.
So now you need a new domain name.. better make a new thread for suggestions.
@DotVPS use DirectAdmin, it's better.
@DotVPS: Not unless he signs up for ChicagoVPS... it's literally half that price with a 2GB VPS w/ CPanel.
@AsuraHosting with that thing ChicagoVPS was doing a month or so back, it was $7 a month for 2GB plus 500MB for getting one that night. Then their $5 a month cPanel. Score!
Shared hosting market is saturated to no belief, nuff said.
I think the shared hosting market is even worse than the LEB market. Competition wise, and customer wise.
They're still doing it, PROMO code: 2048.
I know, but there was one particular day where you got 500MB of extra RAM on top of that.
@Legendlink: Ohhh! I missed that part, my bad.
Found it: ChicagoVPS
This is beyond epic.
must.... not.... troll...
I'll vouch for the L5420's, I have dual L5420s, and they perform awesome!
Don't forget SolusVM licenses, WHMCS, and others.
PayPal fees as well.
