Just reviewed our dedicated server hosting agreement with our current provider. Turns out what we are paying £230 for something they now charge £150 for. So I rang them to see if I could get it reduced. Turns out they will only reduce it if we have new hardware and effectivley cancel the old contract and start a new one. Their reason being is its more difficult to support old hardware! So instead of saving £960 a year it would cost around 4k. This does not make me a happy bunny so I am thinking of shifting to another provider. So as I know their are several PH'ers who are in this business would they care to quote on the following?

Dedicated Server:
Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
1MB L2 cache
1GB DDR2 RAM
2x Maxtor 80GB SATA 7200rpm hard disks
RAID 1

OS: Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition
Bandwidth: Unlimited
SLA: 99.5% uptime, Tape backup, 30 minute response time, max 2 hour hardware fix and data restore.
