Affordable dedicated server options in the USA?

Looking for reliable and affordable dedicated server providers in the USA. Any suggestions from your experience?

I used to have servers about 12-15 years ago with LayeredTech and FastTech, but I’m not sure which companies are solid these days.

Edit: I should mention I need the server to come with a cPanel license.

Thanks!

Check out KnownHost—they’re listed in the sidebar here, and their support is solid.

ReliableSite has some good options. They have servers in NY, LA, and Miami. Worth checking out: https://reliablesite.net

Try dedipath.com for dedicated servers.

Thanks, I’ll take a look.

Are you looking for HIPAA compliance or anything specific?

Just curious why you prefer dedicated over cloud VPS.

No need for HIPAA compliance. I like dedicated servers for full resource control. Also, I need cPanel.

FYI, it’s HIPAA!

Good bot

Depends on what you need:

  • If you want good value, check Contabo. They offer cheap but somewhat slower servers.

  • For Ryzen processors, Hetzner has good options but mostly in Germany and Finland.

For US servers:

  • Linode, Vultr, and DigitalOcean are solid choices for cheap VPS options.

Each can run cPanel as long as you’ve got 2GB+ RAM, but if you prefer dedicated servers, they do tend to be pricier in the US.

I’m already using Vultr for small VPS projects. Looking for a cPanel-ready server though, so I’ll explore these options further. Thanks!

If you’re open to non-US options, Hetzner’s affordable servers in Europe are solid. cPanel runs well on 2GB+ RAM, and Hetzner allows for a dedicated license if needed. In the US, options are pricier, but I’d still consider them.

@markkruger
I already have a few servers with Hetzner in Germany. Just wasn’t sure they’re the best option for the US market.

The US options are Intel only for VPS, but cPanel should still work fine.

@markkruger
Hetzner’s pricing in the EU is so much better than what I’m seeing in the US!

Yep, US pricing tends to be higher. Companies here charge more because they can.

Been with Quadranet for nearly a decade. Solid uptime and good tech support. I have my servers colocated in LA with them.

I’ve had a good experience with LiquidWeb.
