Complete list of the best and cheap fully managed dedicated server hosting

I know, there are already myriad articles on the internet that give you the list of best and cheap fully managed dedicated server hosting.

Unfortunately, most of them were written along with affiliate links.

What does it mean?

It means, their review will be biased, more or less.

Will you say something bad about the service you promoted, and you’ll gain some commissions ( eventually, a big one ) when the buyers bought the service through your link?

Personally, I won’t.

I bet you’ll do the same, and that’s the case for many other articles writers.

Some of them even mentioned the services which I know many people complained about it. Sad.

Even sadder, some of them only use “dedicated” on the title while the content did not focus on a fully managed dedicated server hosting.

So, that’s the reason I wrote this in-depth, long articles to give a complete list of the best and cheap managed dedicated server providers without any affiliate links .

Please do notice that I only add and update the following list with “fully managed dedicated server hosting”, not with “managed VPS service providers” because they’re different.

A “fully managed dedicated server” is  NOT the same as “managed VPS”.

A dedicated server means a physical server rent to you by the hosting provider.

It means that the physical server is used only by you, no shared resource with others there.

But it’s a different case with VPS.

Even you’re in managed VPS service, you will still share the resource of the physical server with other VPS owners.

What about “unmanaged dedicated server”?

There are many huge differences between a “managed dedicated server” and “bare or unmanaged dedicated server”.

Let’s see one of example the un-managed one:  Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts

An Amazon EC2 Dedicated Host is a physical server with EC2 instance capacity fully dedicated to your use. (source: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/dedicated-hosts/).

You see, when you’re running EC2, you’re the one who needs to manage it yourself. There will be no support team to fix your instance or server if it goes down or crashed. You need to install all required packages by yourself. Don’t forget that you’re fully responsible to set up its security too. Yes, it’s completely yours and you had full responsibility to run, manage, update, or scale it to your needs. That’s an example if you’re running an un-managed dedicated server.

It sounds too much, right?

You’ll need to commit resources, either hiring a DevOps guy or committing your own time to do all of the DevOps works.

What about the managed dedicated server?

But It will be a different story if you’re going with a “managed dedicated server”.

  • There will be cPanel/WHM for your dedicated server

  • There will be dedicated support for your server in case any issue arises on your server like it’s being attacked using DDoS or it keeps crashing because of the corrupted package installed there, or any other unpleasant things happening there.

So, let’s go to the list . . .

Conclusion

I’ve been a part of DevOps team for some years. Trust me, it’s better to go with cheap managed dedicated server rather than buying unmanaged server (which is cheaper but will cause you a lot of problems later)

P.S I’ll keep updating this page in the future if I come across any dedicated server provider with less than $500/month. But, I’ll make sure that the provider is not under EIG brands.
