After creating reviews and comparison charts for the best shared web hosting (shared hosting comparison table) and the best VPS web hosting (VPS hosting comparison table) providers, I thought is was needed to create a review of dedicated server hosting solutions that also includes a dedicated server comparison chart. I’ve evaluated each dedicated hosting provider according to features such as the type of hosting environment offered (Windows, Linux), price for cheapest dedicated Linux server hosting plan, the type of CPU used, the dedicated amount of bandwidth and hard drive storage capacity, whether a free domain is included or not, how many IPs are included, and if there are any setup fees. I also included the ways in which support may be obtained from each dedicated web hosting provider; phone, email, frequently asked questions (FAQ), a knowledge base, live chat, forums, and tutorials.
The review currently contains evaluations of 30 dedicated web server hosting companies and the comparison table has over 600 data entry points. It took a great deal of time and effort to compile this information but I plan to continuously revisit and update it. Please contact me if you think I have left any important dedicated web hosting solutions out or if there are any other features you would like to see added to the comparison table.
Best Dedicated Servers Comparison Chart
I created the dedicated server comparison chart above to help you find the server hosting plan that best fits your requirements. It can be sorted and filtered according to the features and price that you are looking for. For instance, if you need want the cheap dedicated hosting with no setup fees that comes with a free domain, and 24/7 customer support via phone, you would simply to the following:
- Sort via price and select A to Z
- Filter via Setup Fee and select No
- Filter according to Free Domain and select Yes
- Filter for Phone and choose Yes
- Filter for 24/7 Support and select Yes

You’ll have to add Google App Engine for Java to your shared web hosting list. I have been using it for a couple of weeks and so far it is pretty cool. I’ll be blogging about it soon.
