Finding the Right Price for a Dedicated Server

 

A dedicated server is a big investment for your business, but one that will pay off in the long run. Increased speed, security, and performance will not only make your website more user-friendly but will lead to more conversions and greater sales. In this article, we will explore dedicated server costs and discuss how to find a server that is right for you at an affordable price.

Dedicated Server Pricing: What You Should Know

Hosting services come in a wide range of plans and prices, as the dedicated server cost varies depending on the features offered by your web host.

Below we break down the general features of different hosting price ranges for dedicated hosting plans. We will also share a few of our hosting plan options and highlight their top specs.

For more information on each plan, visit our Dedicated Hosting page.

How Much Does a Dedicated Server Cost?

Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer here. How much a plan costs can vary greatly depending on both the provider and the specifications you require. In general, though, you can expect to pay $100 per month or more for a dedicated server.

Generally, the lower the prices, the fewer resources you will have at your disposal. As the cost of the plan goes up, so does available RAM and bandwidth.

The best dedicated server is one that starts with room for your current website and is able to grow with you. Look for a company that offers reasonable rates on a variety of plans.

Justifying the Cost of a Dedicated Server

The justification for using a dedicated server can be summarized by answering a few questions:

  • Does it help in meeting goals or business needs?
  • How is it affecting the budget?
  • Are people – internal or external- able to use it?
  • What is its quality of service?
  • Can it grow with your business?

The total cost of ownership is based on acquisition/physical costs, operating costs, and personnel costs. Depending on the needs and situation of a person/business these factors could be expanded to include many things. However, for simple decision-making, getting to the core of the issues is what helps to define clear justification. Your first concern should be whether you accomplished or you’re making progress toward your goals.

Dedicated servers can be considered either operational expenditure or capital expenditure depending on how you made payment for the server. A lower monthly cost would be an operational expense, while the payment of the server for a year could be a capital expense. There is no doubt that using a dedicated server solution can affect budgets because of its high cost, but you should always contrast it to alternative solutions or previous solutions to see if it is a contribution or a detriment to your efforts.

Another major factor in justifying the use of a dedicated server is the people who use it. This includes your internal and external customers. Their experience in using the dedicated server can be a great positive depending on the quality of service that they experience during its use. This can also involve technical support or other services involved in the use of the server.

The overall quality of service can include values such as performance speeds, uptimes, downtimes, service response, bandwidth, and even security. You can easily make these values much easier to understand by explaining them in terms of speed, dependability, good service, and security.

The current configuration of your dedicated server will change as technology changes. The rate of these changes and how they are performed on your server can affect your bottom line. Good services will provide a path for scalability to take advantage of the change in technologies to keep pace with your growing business. Additionally, if you are experiencing a decline, then they can also offer a lower-cost solution that will help keep your business healthy.
