Paul WhiteIf you are thinking about getting a dedicated server with Godaddy because of their cheap prices, I understand. But how far will their server really take you? After dealing with performance issues with godaddy with another client, I build my own server and colocated it. Then I did some benchmarks comparing the two. Huge difference. Click read to see the bench marks.

Paul WhiteGetting your own server is not easy, nor is it cheap. For anyone thinking about it. Here are some things you will need to make it functional as part of a revenue generator by hosting your client's websites.

Paul WhiteFor years I setup my clients with shared hosting account with either HostMySite ( Hosting.com ) or Godaddy. I stayed clear of colocating for several reasons, cost, and what if it breaks. Well I finally got the confidence to colocate my own rack server, and I will say its one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Paul WhiteToday was proud day for me. I colocated my first rack server in a datacenter. The guys at the datacenter were very helpful. If anyone is needing to colocate a server in Houston I highly recommend Acronoc.

Paul WhiteAfter parking some of my larger websites on Godaddy's Dedicated Servers about a month ago. I have found where Godaddy is weak. To say the least By Nov 1st I plan to shutdown my godaddy Dedicated Server, and move them to a colocated box with a local Data Center here in Houston.

Recently I moved a few of my clients to Godaddy. Even though I hear lots of bad things about godaddy, my websites are running faster than they had been running on HostMySite. Turns out that this speed increase might have more to do with PING times than the hardware they were hosted on.

Paul WhiteSo one my clients has recently out grown their HostMySite VPS box. It was time to migrate them to a larger box. The choice we went with was a Windows Dedicated Server with Godaddy. In this blog posting I explain the server we got. Why we picked certain features, and how the setup is going. This is a must read for anyone who is thinking about Hosting with Godaddy.
