Hi all,

First of all I would like to thank Greg for the plug :)

My company does not sell hosting to the masses. That is why we don't 
have a lot of information posted online or an e-commerce solution for 
accepting new customers. For most cases we sell hosting to people we 
know and have a business relationship with.

What you pay is definitely what you get.

I would recommend the official HP Refurbished Division. We are using 
them exclusively for most of our server/workstation needs and they have 
been a pleasure to work with. I believe that they are one of the best 
server solutions in the market today.
