Can anyone recommend a good dedicated server company. Reason is currently we have a FC4/Plesk 8.6.1 dedicated server but i'm at the max of what i can keep this box updated for PCI Compliance.

Our current provider is useless on coming up with a solution to help migrate our current setup to centos 5.2 with the latest plesk.

The server would need to be state side. Any help or point in the right direction would be great.

This would be a great place for you ASL providers to speak up!

Otherwise for re-imaging your existing system you could give AOOI a try, its built to re-image systems at hosting companies like yours.

Scott,
Thanks for the heads up on AOOI i'll read up on it, I'm still looking for a Dedicated server for now to migrate to.

I do have a side question if you don't mind?

I actually have a in-house system too that i inherited that includes HSPC , Virtuozzo Manager and 3 plesk VPS's across 3 servers. I currently have it shut down due to the fact that when i took over i realized after learning the system that it was baddly configured by swsoft when it was all installed.

The whole system was also put together using FC2, why another reason i turned them all off cause they were so out of date.

Being a credit card processing ISO/MSP and PCI Complaince being a Major requirement, Would ASL work with all the enviroments that the system has "HSPC and VPS's thru VM" ? I know it already works with plesk

Yes, it would work fine on a VPS. My advice would be first upgrade from FC2, the oldest platform supported right now is FC4 and even that is on shaky ground right now. I'd go to CentOS 5 if you can.

That's my plan next month is to start preparing to wipe the machines and get centos up and running. then go thru the whole gammit of getting PBA, VM ,and everything else re-installed.

again thanks for the info and assistance

Well i got a new dedicated server running centos 5.2,plesk 8.6 and added the ART repos and yummed the hell out of it.

Now i plan on getting my subscription for ASL, i read the installation wiki and such and it seems straight forward but as my luck goes i'd probably mess something up.

Is there a more defined pre-install doc or is it as simple as order asl, run installer and start plugging away? or is there more into it than that?

This is what we've got right now:

In practice, you just run the installer:
