Questions about server specs

[twisternhra]

I am thinking about getting a dedicated server from topblue.net. I would be getting one with a Quadcore 2.5 ghz 2 gb ram and everything else is standard. Topblue.net resells godaddy.com's services. I was wondering if any of you knew anything about how good godaddy.coms servers would be and how many slots I should be able to hold.

Twister you need to avoid servers that are on cheap bandwidth. You need to find a provider that offers dedicated servers on premuim bandwidth as game servers are latency intensive. You will be very dissapointed if you buy from them.

Okay well then I guess I will be collocating a server. So now another question. What do you guys recommend for collocation in Dallas Texas. What do you think about http://www.sprocketnetworks.com

I want hosting some where in the us i would prefer Dallas Texas since I do live in Texas

any one else have any ideas? The ip that I have for them is this 66.18.15.1 . I'm guessing it will be fast seeing as I have a 50 ms avg and some one in Toronto has the same.
