    Probably, yes, although that CPU with that much RAM, a large SSD, 1Gbps Unmetered seems like a very good deal to me.

    Furthermore, price isn't everything - you should also consider looking at the network quality (reliability, peering), support, location, etc. offered by your current provider.

    I checked around for a few minutes, but couldn't come up with anything less expensive. Was this a promotion deal?

    Make sure you do some research, both here and elsewhere about your provider. This is very, very important.
    just because it's a low cost deal doesn't mean it's a good one

    I've been receiving those emails all along from them. Make sure to confirm with them that those are physical bare metal servers and not VDS before signing up.

    Looking at their server configuration page it appears to be a fully dedi machine. OP, I am not sure what your intended use of this box would be, but in case you decide to sign-up with them it might be well worth it to spend that extra little bit for a 2nd hard drive and possibly a hardware raid setup. Nevertheless, IMO it is a good deal for the config offered.

    I would do a WHT search for that server model and then approach those providers with your Turnkeynternet quote and ask them to match. This has always worked for customers of mine and for myself in personal use. Providers will match or come very close to your offer and you'll get an enterprise provider with Budget pricing. Trust me Enterprise providers can shave off a lot of pricing for a loyal customer.

    Price looks about right if it's bare metal dedicated server. As @TrentaHost mentioned why not reach out to a few other providers with your current quote, most will be happy to match it.

    FWIW, I was with TurkeyInternet for over a year, if I remember correctly. Ended up leaving them when I outgrew them and they refused to allow me to upgrade my server (I outgrew what I had) at the same price they were advertising on their website without ponying up for 1 year payment in advance.

    Nothing much to complain about. The hardware and network was solid. The support was always willing to help, even though it was unmanaged, but they weren't very knowledgeable. Can't recall any downtime that wasn't my own fault.

    I would be careful, though. When I signed up with them, they just started doing these "budget" offers. It seems they have been peddling more and more of these budget offers recently, so their network or hardware quality may have fallen (e.g. the parts used in these servers may be more old than new and subject to higher risk of failure).

    Also, do note, when you start going beyond the standard offer they have on their website, such as add a control panel, more drives, or R1soft, their pricing drastically increases -- it would still be budget, sure, but less competitive than it initially looks.

    Make sure you don't actually intend on using mass amounts of bandwidth on this server since no one in the world can offer unmetered 1 Gbps Dedicated Server at $179/Month without a lot of fine print and other limitations.

    OP: Considering the above comment...what are your REAL bandwidth needs? 1Gbps port...but what actual usage on it?
    Also, is their location suitable for you, or would different geographical location suit you better?

    I can see turnkeyinternet.net is already one of the cheapest providers out there. Why do you want to change your provider or thought you would check if there are any cheaper deals?

    Thanks.

    Well premium bandwidth at that price is definitely not possible, I think you going to get huge latency outside of turkey but if your main purpose is to serve users in turkey then this is the best deal !

    What is a traffic cap for 1Gbps? Unmetered is not unlimited.
