    A few things that will not work here, E3's only support a maximum of 32GB of RAM. You will be looking at an E5 if you require 64GB + RAM. An E5 + 64GB RAM + 1Gbps port + 20TB bandwidth + cPanel + Fully managed will definitely cost about $325-400/month depending on the provider.

    Did you check out the offer section?
    Respectfully,

    There's a few providers for the US such as ReliableSite and VersaWeb, they both offer DDoS Protection and customized plans. Bare in mind you'd require an E5 Processor for 64GB RAM, Intel E3s are limited to 32GB RAM at the maximum.

    ReliableSite seem to offer management for $59 per month, VersaWeb $100 per month, or you can consider getting management from an external management company.

    The E3 servers support a maximum of 32 GB of RAM, so if you need 64, you will have to go with an E5. Your budget is on the low side for a managed server with cPanel and a super reliable provider.

    Yeah
    I know that my budget is low but I am looking for that configuration.
    I have seen in the offers section some deals but only few of my configurations are included in those offers.
    I don't know much about E3 or E5,I have seen somewhere that these two performs best than any others.
    As you corrected me about difference between E3 and E5,now I am opting for E5.
    Anyway,if you know any website or company offering similar or equal configuration under $200,please let me know or offer me.

    $200/mo is a bit too low for your needs. Raise your budget as others have mentioned.

    You can find that pricing, but it will be for an unmanaged server. For fully managed you'll need to increase your budget slightly.

    There are also others, the 1650 V2 is an older generation processor and is going on clearance for those who offer the newer 1650 V3.

    I have check OVH right now and found most of my needs are there in that.
    But I don't know whether their plans are managed or not.
    Do you peole recommend OVH?
    Are they safe?

    OVH is unmanaged, VERY unmanaged.

    Ok,that means it is missing main configuration(manage).I can't manage it myself.
    May be I have to search all the offers listed in offers section I think.
    Reason for my configuration:
    I am an affiliate marketer and I use a tracker called iMobiTrax and it has to be installed.And I also host a domain name for my landing pages.I use paid advertising to get traffic to my landing pages.

    I may get lot of traffic and my server may slow down.To avoid this,I am configuring a dedicated server myself.
    If you don't mind,can anyone spend seconds to suggest me your offers?

    Hosts are not allowed to make offers in the main forums or via the PM system. You should check the offers forum, make a list of providers that are in your budget and contact them to see if they offer management and whats included in that management.

    I would agree. There's very little chance the OP will get everything they want within budget. It may be possible to get most of it, but definitely not all of it. Management is almost certainly needing to go, to keep it on budget.

    Ok,I have to lower my configuration or else have to increase my budget.If I increase my budget,I may lose money because apart from this server,I am also buying CDN services,advertising,paying for iMobiTrax etc

    I think you are expecting to get too much for 200$
    I have an idea for you, maybe you can get an OVH server and hire a system admin to manage your server from a 3rd party.
    Otherwise, just lower your hardware requirements or increase your budget.

    Go with an older server with similar CPU power, like a Dual Xeon 5520 series, and you will get much closer to your budget level and specs, with near similar performance as the E3.

    there is no quality host that will sell you that server for $200 with cpanel and management

    there are not even many non managed hosts that will do that for $200

    It seems you didn't budget properly with your business plan.

    What level of management are you looking for? There are plenty of reputable freelance sysadmins out there, you could buy the server from ovh ~$100/month and then put the other $100 in a "pool" each month so that when something goes wrong you'll have the money to pay for them. you may even find one that will monitor your server and be proactive in fixing issues as they occur.

    What will the server be doing?
    How critical is uptime?
    Whats all that RAM for?
    Considered a VPS? (High-availability/failovercluster)

    By the way,I forgot to mention that I do Adult Marketing.
    So,this dedicated server is for hosting adult landing pages.
