Best Dedicated Server?
Does the best dedicated server mean the best price aside from all else, or is it or should it be the best price-to-performance solution that most closely matches your specific web hosting requirements? I hope most folks would select the latter. What I see quite often though are requests for the cheapest solution. And worse, OPs that opine they lose thousands of dollars during downtimes when they are hosting on a shared server.
Your thoughts?

There is no such thing as best dedicated server .
To elaborate, best for me, not best for you. Best for you, not best for me

I guess people who are looking for the cheapest solutions are either new to dedicated servers, or need a server for any temporary project.
For a long time solution, price is still a consideration, but support comes before price. When you know a few DCs, their staffs and how they operate, you would understand that with some of them, you are up for a disaster if a complex issue arises. Some of them focus on quick fixes which seem to please the first batch of server clients. But both of these providers won't be able to save you in emergency situations because of how they work. If you only have a few servers, the damage in the end could be irreversible to you.
This is why support comes before price while choosing a dedicated server. And at that, you might want to get your servers from smaller providers until you have enough so that the larger providers will be willing to take extra care for you.

Everyones need is different, the reason for purchasing the server is different, the financial situation is different, so we can not assume who is gonna purchase cheap and who is looking for fast support before price. Not are all web hosting providers, some clients purchase server for only small project purposes, and usually, they run only for 3 to 6 months.

I think that everyone is looking the best price-to-current needs solution. So dedicated server has to have certain config (according to the needs) and have the best price. Having that said I assume another user will have different needs and different server and server provider will be considered as the best solution. That is not common definition I believe.
