If you're a little short on cash, you could get one of these cheap servers (just remember this - "you get what you pay for"):

- No online chat and email inquiries can take anywhere from 1hr-1wk.
* CoreNetworks
- OK to good speeds and servers.
- No online chat but emails are answered quickly during (US) business hours.
* DediBox International
- Poor to OK speeds (great speeds if you're seeding on ScT). However, they do offer "unmetered" bandwidth.
- Has online chat (which is almost always offline) and support via email can take anywhere from 24hrs-forever.
* BestOfData
- Same as DediBox International.
- Better customer support than DediBox.
* Giga-International
- OK speeds with "unmetered" bandwidth.
- No online chat and inquiries can take up to days sometimes.
In addition, you can also check WebHostingTalk for other dedicated servers. Just make sure you do enough research there and to ask your fellow ScT'er if they have any information/experience with that company.
If you're really really REALLY short on cash but for some reason would still like to get a seedbox, get one of these VPS:
* LeeWare
* Hosting-IE
* FDC
* LayerShift
