Hey, I have no idea if it bugs some web hosters! But it does me, the lostest monthly payment on a server i have been was $49, but it was with a $135 set up fee! We shouldn't have set up fees its crazy. The best deal out there is $89/mo with a $1 set up fee ( i wont advertise the company) but its still forces hosters to charge up to $10-$15/mo for there lowest package. Due to the fact advertising is very hard on the net and can get very xpensive.

What are your opinons on prices on servers?
 
Depends really.


Is your server really quality?
... The prices of dedicated servers were not always the same. I
mean, back in the day you'd pay a lot more for a server with a
tiny amount of bandwidth. What's more, don't you worry about
how good your server parts are? I mean, if you pay $89 a month
for your server with say $1 setup fee, what sort of quality parts
will be installed? Makes you wonder why so many hard-drives fail,
why so many companies end up having bad parts that need
replacing. Makes you wonder how much the server costs the
company - it does to me, what about you?

What about your bandwidth?
... Look at RackShack, look at Nocster. Two very good and
respected dedicated server companies, yet they both offer very
low prices and give lots of bandwidth. RackShack offers between
700GB and 1200GB. Nocster offers 1000GB and I'm not sure about
their other offers. For a $99 server from RackShack, I think 700GB
bandwidth is very nice, and you? Nocster are also very cheap
and have even more bandwidth which I also think is very nice.
I said nice - not good for either one. You wonder how good quality
the bandwidth is. I mean, how come places like ServInt or Ezzi
don't offer prices like that? How come Atjeu doesn't either.
Makes you think, no?

The Service
... Ever wonder what the service will be like? When I go to a
companies website and see they are cheap, I think to myself, how
good is the service?

Same for the uptime and network reliability...
... Yes it is, isn't it for you?


That's my views and points on server prices.
Basically: Pay a LOT, Get GOOD Quality.

The only rule to the game. ;)
 
I would recommend searching for dedicated hosting review sites in google or do a search in a PPC (Pay Per Click) which usally display accurate results. All in all I would recommend what you have heard from other experiences and your budget size.
 
HWHSales, why would any company want to spend good money out on hardware, rackspace, bandwidth, staff etc and then let you have it for less than cost? Do you not realise how much it costs to buy, install, provision and support servers? The only way the rackshacks of this world are doing it so cheaply is economies of scale... remember Henry Ford? But even then, you can only go so far and if the company isn't making any money they're gonna go bankrupt which defeats the object of running a (for profit) company and is most probably illegal too (directors of companies that did that here in the UK can potentially be barred from being company directors).
