When it comes to non-cloud hosting, you won’t find anything more powerful than dedicated hosting. This hosting type lets your site leverage a server’s full power, as it exists on the server all by itself. No system-resource sharing here. Serious, mission-critical site-runners should consider dedicated hosting as soon as they can afford it.
Ionos has several dedicated hosting tiers that are powered by either AMD or Intel servers. The plans come with either traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs), which alter the price a bit. Ionos’ dedicated servers are pay-as-you-go services that scale to match your business needs. AMD servers start at $64 per month with a two-year term, offering a Ryzen 5 Pro 3600 processor, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and 480GB of SSD storage. The highest configuration gives you an AMD EPYC 7543P processor with 256GB DDR4 RAM and 1.92TB of NVMe SSD storage for $298 per month with a two-year commitment.

Dedicated Intel servers start with the Intel Xeon E-2356G processor, with 32GB of DDR4 RAM and 512GB of NVMe storage for $85 per month with a two-year plan. The highest configuration offers an Intel Xeon Gold 5412U processor, 256GB of DDR4 RAM, and 1.92TB NVMe SSD storage for $298 per month with a two-year package. You can create as many email accounts as you need with a dedicated hosting account, as long as they don’t exceed the server capacity.
Both AMD and Intel dedicated servers have Windows configuration options, starting at $38 per month for a license. All of Ionos’ dedicated hosting plans include Sitelock malware protection and the RailGun content delivery network (CDN) for faster page loads.
Those are good dedicated hosting plans, but consider those from AccuWeb, which has excellent tiers of configurable Linux- or Windows-powered servers. These start at $121 per month and include 32GB of RAM, 512GB of NVMe storage, and 100TB of monthly data transfers. You can outfit AccuWeb’s dedicated servers with up to 256GB of memory, six 3.84TB drives’ worth of NVMe storage, and unlimited monthly data transfers. As a result, AccuWeb Hosting’s dedicated hosting plans reign as the category’s Editors’ Choice winner.
