[dedicated] First time renting a server. Good price or not?

hi folks, just want to know your opinion. im getting new dedicated server for my business and I just want to know if I am getting a good price for this server or am i just getting ripped off.

this is the first time that i am going to rent a server and just want to know if i am going to make the right choice.

Fully managed
Intel quad Q6600
2x 250GB Sata2 HDD
4GB RAM
3TB Bandwidth
100mbps port speed
cpanel/whm/centos

They want $150/month for that.
Is this a good price or not?

do you have any other recommendations? tnx!

From my personal experience (take that with a couple grains of salt - ) I'd say that's a good deal IF it is TRULY a managed server. If they handle any problems with the hardware / their software 24/7, and are available to answer questions when needed, then I believe you've found a good deal. I pay almost that much for an un-managed Windows server, but it has been rock-solid for years, so no complaints. For that level of hardware and the 3TB of bandwidth, I'd say go for it - but... Keep in mind this assumes you've done your research on the company - if other folks are telling horror stories about them then keep searching! Anybody can toss up a box and make promises, but it takes good, dedicated and knowledgeable people to provide a good managed service.

A good price? Not really but it completely depends on the company providing it. If if truly is fully managed then it would be worth it.
