Some dedicated server providers have managed services that you can purchase along with the server for a small monthly fee. You're looking at additional charge of $50-100 per month.

I'm sorry. I'm not quite sure as to what you're asking.
If you're asking:
"How much would hiring someone cost to manage my server for me when I have a cheap unmanaged dedicated machine?"
The answer would be that it varies based on your consultant. There's people out there that charge anywhere from $20 to $150 or more per hour. Depending on the quality level, you'd generally pay more but a good price would be somewhere in the $50 to $100 per hour range for someone who understands security and can set up what you need without too much trouble.
If you're asking:
"How much would a cheap host run?"
I've seen dedicated out there for as little as about $50 per month, but those tend to be really bad and blacklisted or simply have horrid uptime all the way to $250+ per month for higher end machines on good networks.

cheap servers will give you cheap performance expecially on "unmetered" connections - if you not ready to get something with at least average level of quality - don't waste your time, management company's will not help you.

Just be smart & take the management with the company that offers the server. You can probably work out a special arrangement if you do so.

I found someone who claimst to offer managed and it isn't that much and I think there a big company it is surfspeedy.com I pretty sure they reseller for layeredtech but who cares layeredtech is good and they cost a bit more at surfspeedy but it is managed or so it says. I just thought I would let you guys know. I haven't used them but thinking on it.

I think you will first have to work out your budget. Once you know how much you are wiolling to spend, you can then start to create a list of suitable providers that fall within your budget. Then you should do research on those providers before signing up with one of them. Good luck.

I don't know if you were talking about actually purchasing a server for colo but that might be something to look into. You can build up a cheap 1u server for around $300-500 and colo it someplace. Then if you want to get it managed just hire a 3rd party.

Some companies offer a fixed monthly rate of under $50 for server management.
