That's right! The Planet has one of the best deals on right now for dedicated servers. Not only are their actual servers on sale, (some are over $100 off!), but they still have their Double Down promotion ongoing... Now, I realize this doesn't look like much savings- so I've set up a chart below to show you what this really means when translated to specs and numbers.

The base server on the left represents normal pricing and server specs. In the middle column, you see the actual upgrades and how much they would cost if you purchased them normally without the deal. Finally on the far right, is what you actually get and the actual prices they cost! In this comparison graph I've used the Dual Intel Xeon 5130 Woodcrest 2x2.0Ghz (remember, two processors, meaning 4x2.0ghz cores!) series server which would be great for just about anything including heavy ffmpeg video sharing website clones! Although this specific server is the one chosen for the graph, this same formula applies to most of the servers, so if the machine is too expensive or you need more power, check out the server list at the below to see which are eligible for the promo pricing!

We're sorry, but this offer has expired, please view our other offers for dedicated servers by browsing the menu above.

• Click on this link (required for the promo!) to view the eligible servers list. (Takes you to the proper landing page, important for the triple bandwidth glitch to work!)
• You will see a list of eligible servers, however, note that this deal STILL works (for now...) on servers not listed, including the server I have mentioned above! Click on "dedicated servers" at the top left of that page. You will see a list of servers with their prices (and sale prices).
• Choose the server you want (try and pick one that was on sale!) and click on Order Now.
• A window should pop up with the server you have chosen. Before doing anything else, on the left there will be a box to enter a promotional code. In it enter promo code "allthree" without quotes. Next towards the bottom near the special instructions there will be a button labeled "Reedem Coupon". After a short delay a message will pop up confirming acceptance of the coupon code. If you are given an error, make sure you typed in the code properly and that the server you have chosen was one of the eligible servers on the list. The slight increase in price ($37 or $47) reflects the extra fee to double all three resources- if you just wanted to double RAM use coupon code "ddr", for HDD use coupon code "ddhd" and for bandwidth use coupon code "ddbw"... These individual upgrades are all free, but using the allthree coupon code is definitely worth the small extra fee!
  
• Done that, you will see that some of the options have changed to reflect the promotion, including the RAM, HDD, and bandwidth. Choose your O/S (I recommend CentOS 4/5), and any other options you would like (WHM?) and enter your hostname on the left. Once you are ready, click "Add to Cart" to finish configuring your server and proceed to checkout.

This deal is scheduled to end on June 15th, 2008, so to take advantage of the offer you must order as soon as possible!
