IONOS

IONOS by 1&1 offers both managed and unmanaged dedicated server hosting at a discounted rate for new clients. The initial prices range from $32 to $47 per month for unmanaged servers, with SSD servers providing 240GB storage and 8GB RAM, while HDD servers offer 1TB storage and 12GB RAM. Managed servers start at $32 to $50 monthly, depending on the choice between SSD or HDD.

Following the introductory period, there's an increase in pricing, but it remains competitive in the market. The service provides a decent array of features, including unlimited data transfer capped at a 1GB speed, ensuring minimal lag for site visitors. However, IONOS’ dedicated servers max out at eight cores, which offers slightly less power than other providers, such as InMotion Hosting, which can provide up to 24 cores.

For users not requiring extensive storage, IONOS could serve as an ideal choice for a first dedicated server. It presents an affordable introductory rate coupled with a reasonable allocation of resources.

Its introductory rates and decent resource allocation make it an attractive option for beginners in the dedicated server landscape. But for users requiring higher processing power, exploring other providers might be advisable.
