Dedicated server wanted

[temi]

This forum seem to have outgrown its shared web hosting space, I am looking to move it to a dedicated server. I used to hire dedicated server from Ev1server but now that Ev1 has been taken over by The Planet I am not keep about leasing from them any more, support from The Planet is VERY VERY poor.
Is there any dedicated server provider out there people can recommend? I am not keen on hiring from small firm as they tend to go out of business and leave you stranded.

Try Clook, or Dedicated server hosting from 123-regI have to ask though how have you outgrown it? My forum runs happily on its current server and that is on shared hosting (shared with about 25 or so other sites, some of them quite busy)

In the past three weeks now, this forum goes offline for a short period every day, I investigated and its because Apache shuts down dues to a lot of request, mostly generated by this site.
There server is also shared with over 100 other sites, since I do not want to move it every few months, I will prefer to move to a dedicated server, its far too much for this forum at present but I am confident it will grow into it.
BTW, who or what is Clook?

Found a fantastic one at 123 reg, I think I will buy (more like lease it)

Hi, what about this://gigabitdc.com with powerful servers such as Intel Quad Core and gigabit connection.

Well, my options are SoftLayer.com and Rackspace.

SoftLayer.com seem to be a US company, do that have a UK operation?

Yeah they are actually Canadian I believe but have servers all over Canada/USA.

I don't think they do Temi.

That is the only downfall to SL unfortunately.
