Dedicated Server Hosting

[Willdy]

Hey,

I am considering the opportunity of selling Dedicated Server Hosting (Outside of NG/NH). I have already found a few potential customers but right now I am looking for you guys see as a sensible price. Please only reply if you, or someone you ask is familar with server hosting. I don't want people replying with bad answers 'because I don't want to pay more'. If you could, look around and see what the cheapest host you can find is, I will then see if I can beat that.

I have put below a few specifications and would like prices for each per month in GBP or USD.

Number 1:

Intel Celeron Processer
2gb RAM
1tb HDD
1tb Bandwidth

Number 2:

Intel i7 Processer
5gb RAM
500gb HDD
4tb Bandwidth

Number 3:

Intel i7 Processer
12gb RAM
1tb HDD
7.5tb Bandwidth

Number 4:

Intel i5 Processer
16gb RAM
2tb HDD
7.5tb Bandwidth

If you would like to specify a price per 1gb of ram then please do.

The servers would be hosted in a UK data centre.

Thanks!

Thanks for your input, I have gotta be honest though... they are a lot higher than the prices I had in mind.. (and I still profited with my prices).

Well least you know you can charge little extra still be cheaper than other hosts

Specific specs on the CPUs?

These are minimum - maximum price ranges (including a Windows Server 2008 R2 license lease and a 100 MBit connection)

1) 15 - 25€
2) 50 - 70€

Waiting for input on CPU for 3) & 4).

The thing about dedicated server reselling is that you need to offer your customer something that they don't get from the initial host (ie: support, custom installations, etc). You cannot beat the server prices of the big guys since they sell and buy in bulk (ie; OVH). For instance, our database and webserver costs me about 50€ / month and has the following specs:

Code: [Select]

i5 4x 2.66+ GHz
16 GB Ram
10 TB bw / month, after that: 100MBit -> 10MBit for all OVH to internet traffic

Since I don't need their support and I can set up everything myself, this is one of the best deals I have found so far.
