Does it make sense to get a dedicated server now?

[Alphawolf]

I could use some opinions.

I know what server I want and what management company I want.

If I don't feel like paying the $199 setup fee it will be a total of $184/mo

OK. Not so bad, but thing is I will be going to Vietnam in about 4 weeks for a period of 2-3 weeks.

So, basically if I ordered it now and got it within 2-3 days I'd have about 3 weeks to dive into TGP traffic..then I'd not be able to submit anything for at least 3 weeks after that.

Now, if it was September or October I probably wouldn't hesitate so much.

However, as it gets closer to Xmas I see sales slowing down from what little free sites I have.

Does it make sense to launch full steam into TGP traffic right near Xmas?

On one hand I could just say 'fuck it' and give it a whirl and I know I'd get some sales.

On the other hand, the bulk of any galleries submitted would be week before, during and after Xmas. Then nothing for at least 3 weeks as I'm out of the country during that period.

Is it worth it to launch this now or simply wait until I'm back from Vietnam?

I keep flip-flopping. help me make up my mind.
