I recently bought my first dedicated server. And I had no earlier experience with any kind of server management. I've only used shared hosting accounts, so everything's been taken care of by my hosts. But my site has grown and it's too big for shared hosting so I had to get a dedicated server. About a week after I bought the server, I still had problems with it and I couldn't get everything to work properly so I couldn't get my sites back up. Therefor I made a thread on WHT explaining my situation. I don't have a big budget so I pointed that out as well. I got a few replies from people that were interested and I basically chose Tris from Seeksadmin because he said he had some years experience with server administration. And it turned out to be the right choice. The same day as I made the thread on WHT, I contacted Tris on MSN and I gave him some information so he could set up a support account for me on Seeksadmin.com. He also told me that I won't pay until the job is completely done. And that's a really good thing. Than you'll know for sure that you're not being ripped off. So he set up my account right away and then I could login there and give him all my server information. After I submitted my server information, it didn't take long before he started working on my server. And I think the server set up and security configurations were done on the same day that I requested the help. The job was done real quick. The server was set up and I could start upping my sites again. As one of my sites is a message board, I had to import a database on 900MB. And that's something I know nothing about that. I've always left that kind of stuff for my host to do. So I asked if Tris could help me with that and he did. There were some problems at first because the MySQL software on my new box was a different version to the MySQL on my old hosting account. So because of that they couldn't import the database. But they kindly helped me upgrade the MySQL software and after that they started uploading the database for me. Everything was done real quick and everything's working great with the server now. Talking to the guys from Seeksadmin on MSN is basically like talking to your friends. They are very friendly, helpfull, and easy to talk to. I payed $50 to get my server set up. And for that price I got a server set up and a security package worth $150. They secured my server, upgraded the MySQL, imported a big database, spent a lot of time helping me with server related things, and I've been able to ask a lot of questions. They have helped me a lot and I definitely know who I'll go to if I need any more help with my box.Good to hear that
