Question by John: Is Raid-1 Important for a Dedicated Server Hosting Package?
I run about 5 websites which together get about 500,000 pageviews a month (wordpress plus a forum). I’m currently hosted on a shared plan, and I’m looking to go straight to a dedicated server.
I’ve noticed some companies offer standard drives (eg. 2 x 250 GB Hard Drive), but others offer a more expensive option to upgrade to a RAID configuration.
What is recommended??

Raid has a lower failure rate, its more reliable so big companies use it. Ask wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID
