Overview:

Since 1999 Server Pronto has claimed they are revolutionizing the dedicated server market by offering “the world’s most affordable dedicated server.” They provided dedicated servers for any need, whether it be a personal site, small business, or online gaming.

Features and Pricing:

ServerProntos range of servers is quite expansive. Their AMD and Intel Starters both feature 40GB hard drives, 256MB RAM and 200GB of bandwidth for only $29.95 a month plus a $69 setup fee. They are Linux based and offer popular choices such as Ubuntu and Fedora Core. Windows is also available starting at an additional $18 a month. All the servers come with Webmin control panel and every one of their plans is fully scalable to meet and growing demands. For those not familiar with Webmin, the more popular Plesk and Cpanel are also available starting at an additional $40 a month.

For those who require more horse power than what is offered in the starter package, ServerPronto offers 6 other plans which are capable of meeting anyone’s needs. Need help deciding, ServerPronto’s friendly and knowledgeable sales staff will help you find the plan that is best suited to you.

Service and Support:

ServerPronto offers a sales hot line but there is no customer service hot line. They handle all customer service related issues via email and ticketing. While not the most efficient way in my humble opinion, their email system is reliable and expect prompt, detailed, and helpful responses. The servers themselves are very reliable and in my experience I have not had any problems.

Conclusions:

  • Pros: Pricing is unbeatable, established company; plans are very comprehensive and can fill almost any need. Email system is very reliable. Servers are top of the line in performance and reliability. No long term commitments, all services can be canceled with only 30 days written notice.
  • Cons: No tech phone line!!!!, adding to the basic package (or any of their packages) which is essentially a proverbial skeleton starts to get costly

    • .

  • Other thoughts: if you need a budget dedicated server, look no further than server pronto.
