I can't really speak for their dedicated servers as I use their shared server plan. I can assest however that they are the best, most responsive, most helpful host I've ever used. Screaming fast, redundancy up the ying, great tech support. They even wrote a piece of code for me so I could function more in a chmod environment at no charge.
I will probably never use anyone else and am pleading with my company to upgrade to a dedicated.
I am guessing that you have already looked into 1and1? Never had one problem yet from them. More then 3 years of free service from them. Top Notch.

Ive been impressed with my relatively no-name host OLM. I'm not in the set-up-hosting business so its a shared plan for personal use but I see they have dedicated plans. The control panel i have isnt as fancy looking as plesk but I believe most of the same functionality is in there. I only really open the thing once or twice a year anyway.
Too late to consider anyway. The MT guys seem pretty cool.
Alright so i have had this damn 1and1 like pro service for years and I have no idea when it will be taken down it has been so long since I got it. So my friend is trying to set up a pixel post photoblog and I offered my server to host his stuff since all I have so much space and all I host is my photoblog as well...but after he bought his domain and went through all this bull**** it ends up the account I got only has access to only setup one sql database. So what I am asking is doesn't matter how crappy the interface is or bleh bleh I need a free(if possible) hosting site that we can just through his photoblog onto that has SQL...so anyone?

Well this is what my database listing looks like now. If I change that one line of code ALL those things will change to hissite_ban, hissite_etc, hissite_bleh....?

$pixelpost_db_user = "replace_me"; // database user
$pixelpost_db_pass = "replace_me"; // database user password
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "replace_me"; // database
If you choose another name for your PixelPost-Tables, change it here,
replace "pixelpost_" by the table-name-prefix of your choice:
$pixelpost_db_prefix = "pixelpost_"; // table prefix, leave as is unless you want
to install multiple blogs on the same database
you installed sith the default 'pixelpost_' prefix.
change that, and put it all in a new directory and upload.
Make sure you upload EVERYTHING to a new directory for his site.
Oh, and you might want to make a backup of your current database before you do anything incase you fk it up. Go to the export menu in MyPhpAdmin, save as a sql file structure and data to your computer.
Yeah I go backup crazy. All backed up. I need to go to work soon but I will try that out when I return. Thanks
