Sometimes things look like they're not going to work. This often happens when there's a rare condition in place which automatically turns to be a show stopper. When a company has a strict policy (not about the usual encumbrances like file sharing, copyrighted work, etc), it often discourages few potential customers from actually paying for truly nice services. Maybe the company offers competitive pricing and quality of service, but the barrier is just set too low and customers leave in the middle of the process. This isn't the case of ServerBeach, originally a Texas-based (thanks Richard for pointing this out) dedicated hosting provider with probably the most competitive pricing in the market, now owned by the Canadian company Peer1.
The balance between costs and quality doesn't get hurt with this company. Without unnecessary buzz wording, our very recent experience with them shows that the guys in the sales and customer service team can handle very concrete, exceptional requests, which may require handling of serious documentation and other formalities (ex. legal documentation, information that should be handled discretely as confidential, etc).
While the so-called (and nowadays widespread) "sales live-chat" may be the only way for others out there, with these people you can actually get your phone, dial their number and get in touch with the team. If at first time you think you aren't going to get what you want, you just have to ask them over the phone and discuss on the possibilities. Don't be afraid of explaining your needs, if they handled ours, they can do the same with yours for sure ;).
They are very prompt at giving you possible solutions with your problems, and it’s not the typical sales conversation about the pricing and "extremely good services" of the company. There’s no buzz. They tell you what you need and what they need and want from you.
The pricing is the lowest we’ve found so far and it allows you to customize the order and make it suitable for your needs. For a monthly fee (without setup costs!) of US $129.00 you get a pretty decent server, and they allow you (and also support) running game servers, good thing for gamers out there seeking decent ping times/latency. At such a low price, it’s not wise to avoid giving it a try.
And more when they offer a discount of US $100 (follow the link or use the coupon/referral code: XETJPJU45K) from their referral program. This helps both the new customer and the referral (by using the coupon you support us and our infrastructure), and it’s a great opportunity for testing their services. If you don’t like it, you can quit at any time.
They offer a wide variety of possibilities, in both GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows. For GNU/Linux servers you can choose CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Fedora Core 3 or Debian Sarge, and for Windows platforms you have the 2003 series (Web edition, etc) with SQL Server 2000. They offer also many so-called ‘control panel’ options. In the end it’s up to you, you have a wide range of possibilities to choose from.
Their administration interface integrates a versatile DNS management tool as well as access to invoices, order history, services ordering, upgrades, tutorials, forums and support tickets. It lets you manage your servers easily and keep track of the financial and technical stuff, all in one place.
We highly recommend it, and would like to thank the prompt response from the sales and customer service team.
