Shop around

[fitnessk]

As with any hosting services, you need to shop around before purchasing dedicated hosting services. There are a wide range of prices out their. A variety of features and services pertaining to dedicated hosting are also available so you need to take the time to research several companies.

Agreed,

The things you need to consider are:

• Server Location
• Datacenter + Bandwidth providers
• Amount of bandwidth (metered) or port speed (un-metered)
• Is the server managed? (remember the term "managed" differs from company to company so make sure you know what you are getting).
• Server Spec
• Add-ons - will the price of the server increase rapidly depending on "extras" such as a control panel or operating system?

If anyone would like any advice on buying a dedi box then just give me a shout...
