I know this is not an advertising board but if you are looking into some cheap, but good hosting, I would suggest www.remarkablehosting.com - they have something called "Private Servers" which you get like 750MB of space and 20GB of bandwidth and tons of admin features just as if you owned the server (just without the hassle of upgrading or installing software).

Looks good...now if only banners actually paid something :(

Yeah I know what you mean.:mad:

Do you know of any pay-per-impression advertisers?

If I did I would place them on my website, I hate that ads have went to dogs. Advertising just seems to have went down so much unless you own a website that is majorly popular :(.

These servers are hosted by Verio's dedicated server ( www.dedicatedserver.com ) division (physically located just outside of Washington, DC). There are two servers, one for Apache and the other for MySQL. Each is a dual Pentium-III/850 with 1GB ram and dual 18GB 10k SCSI drives. They are quite capable of handling all the users from several large sites.

Thanks for the tip but hosting like this is not enough - as Chris pointed out we have 2 very powerful dedicated servers - a virtual server would crash within minutes with the kind of load that we would give it :)
