New to dedicated server, what kind of spec can I expect? Hope to have more memory, not necessary high end CPU.
Thanks

For $20/month you can get 2GB RAM:

Hey xKey, I'm afraid your budget is very low.
Have you considered looking at a Virtual server? You'd find a nice package for $25 P/M with reasonable resources :)
CoreNetworks have dedicated servers in america starting at $25/mo.
You will never get Dedicated server in $25/month. You need to consider purchasing VPS.
It might be useful to mention where you are going to use it for. Maybe a VPS can already meet the requirements.
Most of you are right. The budget is low for a dedicated server. Have tried OpenVZ VPS, the performance is not great when running tomcat. Just to explore some options out there. http://www.kimsufi.ie/ seems to be tempting
You should bare in mind what the quality of supplementary services (such as support etc) will be like when spending as little as $25 / month. The term 'stack em high, sell em cheap' springs to mind.
Your budget is not going to get you a dedicated server. If you are looking for a good decent server you are going to have to increase that budget. What will you be doing with it maybe you can look at getting something else closer to your budget now.
What is it you are trying to run on this new solution?
Even if you did find a $25 server from a sketchy host, you're not going to get anything stable or reliable. Go for a VPS and upgrade as you grow.
Actually there is a silver lining here. If I was worried about doing something that is CPU intensive or DiskIO, one of these may be good. I will use Minecraft as an example. Many VPS Providers actually disallow Minecraft.
Now, I would not use one of these for Web Hosting. I know both of the providers above have been around for a while
None of what you wrote addresses what I was questioning, namely that it would be impossible to find hosts offering dedicated servers for $25. It clearly is possible.
This is absolutely correct. You can find pretty good hosts that offer extremely cheap dedicated servers. They will have their shortcomings, which you can either live with or pay more at another host. I have dedicated server I pay a little more than 10 EUR per month for. 100% uptime for over six months and surprisingly good network. The hardware is old but it does exactly what I need it do, with some room to spare. I have only needed support once; to reinstall OS, which they did on a Sunday evening.Quote:

I would definitely say to aim for a VPS at that price point. You're likely to find something of higher quality, I would imagine, as $25 is a more realistic price for a VPS. Just my opinion!

Good day:
"Then how do you explain the hosts mentioned thus far that do offer dedicated servers for $25?"
Just because someone offers something for a price does not mean...
* They are making a profit on it
* That it has any quality
* That the business will be able to continue to support the offering, existing clients included.... and support includes keeping the server up, etc.
Thank you.
I'm surprised that someone might thing of getting a dedicated server for less than $60 - $70 per month. A decent 1U colocation starts at around $50/month. if someone sells dedicated server for cheaper, those are probably unreliable desktops or a virtual instances created through full virtualization. Well there might be other options. For example pretty old desktops/servers to be still on stock.
