cheap dedicated windows server hosting uk

[Sir Asvald]

Hello All,

 

I am looking for a cheap dedicated server. My requirements are

• 4 cores (8 threads would be nice)
• 16GB of memory
• storage not a issue
• OS Windows server 2016/2019
• UK based
• Max budget of £60-75 (cannot go over that)

Thank you

I would suggest a Rise-1 from OVH. There are also budget-oriented options available in France under SoYouStart, though I am unsure if versions above 2012 R2 are available.

Unfortunately the Windows OS price from Rise-1 is £120 per month is too much and SoYouStart is also expensive.  

 

Thanks for the help.

You're going to be hard pressed to find any reasonably priced Windows Server options for dedicated machines. The cheapest I could find was ~£85 from 1&1, but I cannot personally vouch for their services.

 

You might be best off looking at Azure AD if you're looking to use Active Directory, or AWS EC2 instances.

Actually found one! £48.95 and the windows OS is only £9.99  within my £60 budget.

do you need a dedicated server? A VPS from the same compnay seems to be much cheaper for a simmilar computing power, and vps have many advantages aswell like being able to easily move up if you need more computing power later on aswell.

I already have a VPS with them and they are really VERY slow and it crashes a lot. I have spoken to support and they said that the servers which they use are old HP G7 and need replacing. I need a dedicated server so I can have full performance of a machine.

Hve you look t other providers like amazon nd google?

 

That seems to be a issue that hosting company, and a vps can preform very close to metal. I don't see a reason to get a deticated server, I think you just need a better vps.

for the workload the VPS does not cut it running multiple game servers.. with only 8gb of memory...

you can get a vps with much more memory.

 

Also it might be better to get multiple smaller vps's. Makes management easier, and you can only fire up what you need.
