Hi,
I am not a techie but run tens of sites across 5 servers (multiple servers for seo)
I tried doing the dedicated thing myself but didnt want to spend the time to understand trouble tickets, managing patches, control panels etc etc. I scraped my way through and managed to run ENSIM myself but then in 2004 some cheerful Brazilian hackers defaced all my sites and I had to start from scratch.
I found an ace team in India who will quote for business. They, in turn, manage server relationships with the data centres in the US. Depending on bandwith and performance I pay $300-$600 per server per month with the upper range including SQL and unlimited bandwith for photo hosting sites. What you get is 100% uptime, URCHIN, backups, 100% hassle free, 24x7, 365 day support. e.g. I can message them and say hey please investigate why the site is slow and they do the analysis and report back in the hour etc etc.
PM me if you want their deets.
Cheers
Devendra
