Asking for a dedicated server quote

Updated: 07 November 20261 views

There is no dedicated server price list here, and that is deliberate rather than an omission. A physical machine is specified, sourced, racked and installed, and what that costs depends on the parts and the lead time on the day you ask. So the process starts with a question rather than with a cart.

What to put in the request

Open a ticket in the Sales department with as much of this as you know:

  • Processor and memory. Cores and gigabytes, or the workload if you would rather we suggested a size.
  • Storage. How much, what kind, and whether it needs a particular arrangement such as a mirrored pair.
  • Network. The transfer you expect in a month, and how many IP addresses you need.
  • Location. Where the machine needs to sit, if that is fixed by your users or by a rule you have to meet.
  • When you need it. Lead time is part of the quote, and a date tells us whether a build is worth pricing at all.

If you are moving from something you already run, send the measurements rather than the current specification. A machine chosen against a week of real figures is almost always smaller, and cheaper, than one chosen against a worry.

What comes back

A quote, with the build itemised, the price, and the lead time for that configuration. It appears under Quotes in your client area as well as reaching you by e-mail, and you can download it as a PDF from there if somebody else has to approve it.

Accepting or declining

The quote page has an accept button and a decline button. Accepting turns it into an order and raises the invoice for it; the machine is ordered once that invoice is paid, and the access details reach you when the build is finished. Declining closes it, and tells us why if you add a note, which is genuinely useful.

A quote has an expiry date on it. Hardware prices move, so one that has gone past its date is re-quoted rather than honoured, and asking for a fresh one is a one-line ticket.

Before you ask, check it is the right question

Our virtual servers run to 6 vCores and 10 GB of memory in Istanbul, built automatically when the payment clears, with a console in your client area. If the measured requirement fits inside that, a virtual plan is quicker to get, cheaper to run and easier to change later. The dedicated conversation is worth having when the measurements have genuinely outgrown it, when the processor needs to be consistent rather than merely sufficient, or when something in your contract requires a machine with nobody else on it.
