Dedicated servers: hosts compared on printed prices

Hosts with an evidenced Dedicated servers product

A host appears here when its own live page for Dedicated servers answered at the linked URL on the date shown. Prices in the table are each host's printed entry price for its flagship stack, the term that price requires and what it renews at; the entry price of a host's other stacks is on its own page, linked beside the figure.

Choosing a dedicated server

Justify it by the workload, not the word. A managed VPS from the VPS stack page carries most workloads at a fraction of the price; dedicated is for what genuinely needs the whole machine.

Buy the management tier the team lacks. Self-managed is for teams that run servers; fully managed is for everyone else. The dedicated server management guide on this site sets out the tiers.

Read setup fees and contract terms. Dedicated servers are mostly monthly with a setup fee or a first-month discount; the host's page states both, and neither is in the entry price column.

Common questions

How much does a dedicated server cost?

Each host's dedicated page, linked from its profile, prices its machines; the index's entry price column is the host's flagship stack. Expect monthly prices at ten to fifty times a shared plan, plus setup fees on some.

Do I need a dedicated server?

Only if the workload needs the whole machine: heavy database I/O, compliance that forbids shared hardware, or per-server software licensing. Otherwise a managed VPS is the cheaper answer.

What is a cheap dedicated server?

Usually a self-managed machine on older hardware. Cheap is honest if someone on your side will run it; if not, the managed tier's price is the real price.
