I'm looking for recommendations on good hosts (large established companies) that provide good pricing on bandwidth, AND have a great fully managed service. So far, I'm looking at Handy Networks, Axis Host, Servervina. Looking for other suggestions along these lines. Also, it must support cpanel. Let's not get tied up in server specs, but they must also have reasonable pricing on servers. I'm not interested in exact quotes and that's why I'm not listing specifics, I just want people that have experience using a company with fully managed services to post some recommendations on who they like (if the pricing was reasonable.) Thanks

You mention 'additional bandwidth', how much do you think you're going to need? Is this a few GB, TB, 10TB, etc? Have you got any preferences on location? Dan

Hi, What is the budget? and yes, how many bandwidth you are interested in? Regards, Charles

Hi, Where do you want to get hosted. It makes difference for Managed hosting... at least for the monthly price. IT is more expensive outside U.S. It is also a good idea to specify what kind of software and manegement do you need to get with the server. SOme hosts who claim to do "fully managed" just instal OS and a fw more applications and do not do on demand server management.

800/month 8TB Bandwidth Dual Xeon or better Cpanel & WHM 4GB RAM 250 GB HD Looking for Semi or Fully managed server. Any suggestions? I want to go with a company with a "very good" track record, as far as reliability, support and not much "downtime" or other issues of that nature.

You are very unlikely to find what you are looking for, from a quality provider at least. 8TB is ~30Mbps, at an industry low of $20/mbps you're only leaving $200 out of your $800 budget for the provider to cover the server prices, management, a cPanel license, and make a profit... a little unrealistic if you ask me.
