    Guaging Pricing For Dedicated Servers (UK)

    Firstly - mods if this the incorrect forum I appologise - it seemed the best one to post in - we are genuinely looking for feedback to help make an informed business decision.

    We are looking into offering our own dedicated servers and would like feedback from people already in the industry.

    We are looking at starting off with the following spec and service:

    Dell R200 Chassis

    Xeon Quad Core 2.13GHz
    4GB Ram
    1TB 7200RPM Disk
    5TB ( Bandwidth )
    100GB Backup Space (Offsite)


    We would also offer, automated reboots and os installs and a network guarantee of 99.9%.

    These would be hosted in the UK so bear that in mind.

    We have come up with some numbers to charge for these per month, but was looking for feedback (what would you pay?) so we can incorporate it into our business plan moving forward.

    I appreciate your time.

    Personally from looking at offers that get posted I would pay no more than £40 the reason is there isn't much ram on that server.

    But that to a client who isn't after an offer and doesn't look for them it could sell for £60-£100 in the UK.

    I wish you the best of luck with your servers.

    Thanks for the feedback, what ram would be more preferable? 8gb upwards?

    Yeah I'd say 8GB but even still that's small amount now-a-days for server ram. I try and stick with 24GB ram with 1-2TB HDD's. But that is because I need higher ram servers but 4,8,16 offers would be good to see at good prices from a uk host.

    I would offer more bandwidth as well if you can as 5TB is plenty but not always enough for everyone.

    Have you gone live yet or are you building your site/services?

    There should be plenty of options as Addons for clients to choose from like KVM access, Additional RAM, HDD, etc.
