Looking for a pretty powerful dedicated

Where?

I've changed hosts a few times now. My current VPS is really fast for the price, but support could be better.

Edit: I checked out the hostinganddesign servers. Pretty damn cheap, but in this business, you get what you pay for. I'd love to see a follow-up a few months down the road.

I should also add, if you're sort of new to web-hosting, having a good support contact is pure gold. When crap hits the fan, and everything's all broken, nothing better than having someone reliable to help out. That's my 2 cents, anyway.

The servers I speak of aren't for the light hearted or uneducated in network operations. They are completely unmanaged, which means you are handed a server and you are on your own. Probably the biggest provider of these types of servers is server4you.

But as I said, you are handed a blank server and everything from the operating system to the security of the server is up to you. There is no support for scripts from those providers.

There are however many people that do the management aspect of servers for somewhat minor fees where the total of the server and the fees is very often less than the cost of a VPS.
