Best dedicated server?
I am currently looking into acquiring a dedicated server from a web host and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good service at a reasonable price.
I am not too bothered about the amount of disc space but I do want unlimited bandwidth as well as unlimited addon and parked domains.
Thanks
Ryan

PoxyProxy - poxyproxy.com was created when i was in college to bypass the college internet filters but it also hides your ip whilst your online

No such thing as unlimited bandwidth in the real world I'm afraid, it all costs money. Anyone that sells unlimited bandwidth will have fair usage policies and shut you down if you use too much. Trust me... I work in the industry.
Firstly, stop using the term unlimited cos theres no such thing. Everytime you add a domain it uses up space on the drive, even if it's just few bytes. Eventually it'll fill up the drive. However, if what you mean is a dedicated server without a limit on the number of domains you should add, that's all together different and is the norm for dedicated servers (unless they run something like an old Cobalt RAQ which can't physically cope with more than 200 domains due to limits in the way the admin interface works).
The best thing to do is work out what your budget is and get the best thing for your needs within that budget. If you have a site that is going to be having lots of traffic, then you have more than just bandwidth to worry about. To handle all those requests the server is going to need a decent processor and lots of memory, in fact you might want to even consider load balancing multiple servers.
