No support by the author.

Not trying to advertise anything here, just always looking for good recommendations. I like to be somewhat diversified, but also I have a hard time finding certain types of configurations.

I have custom configured servers from ev1servers (large forums) and some smaller ones from servermatrix/ the planet (medium websites/database activity). I've been with ev1 for about 5 years and have been mostly happy, and theplanet/sm for about 2 years and am satisfied with the service, though I've had some problems with ignorant techs (haven't we all?)

My servers are mostly unmanaged. I'm wondering who everyone else uses and if they are managed or unmanaged, custom configured or standard, or co-located. Also: How long have you been with them and are you happy with them?

We recently moved our main and test servers to 1 & 1 (root servers). We manage them.

(away from ezzi.net, who were appalling over the last 12 months).

We have several servers at EV1 and the pricing is very competitive. One thing that has sparked our interest is the m/Cluster software offering.

Our primary cluster of servers are with RackSpace.com, I'm on a first name basis with some of the techs at this point

We have our servers located at EV1 and have been with them for over 3 years. Service has been pretty good and the EV1 party last year was great.. BUT, since they have refused to add Opterons to the mix I am jumping ship, having our own custom server(s) built and am currently looking at colo options. Colo4Dallas is looking really good at this point but may look at DedicatedNow for that as well.

I have used Acunett, Serverwizards and a few other people to handle our server management. May look at Serverwizards again soon.

I run a large forum and blog network on two separate dedicated servers at Hosting Matters -- they've been absolutely wonderful in accommodating our enormous trafficked account.

A close friend of mine just got promoted up to management at Red Plaid, so hopefully a deep hosting discount is in the cards for later on.

I'm not sure your friend would appreciate you posting that publicly; however I hope you get it.
