I would like to find out if I can save money on hosting, in Europe. I now lease a dedicated server (Dell Poweredge SC 1425 Plus) and pay 375 euro for 3 months. This price includes 1 mbps. For overusage I pay 35 euro per 1 mbps. Lately I have about 3 mbps overusage per month.
375 euro according to google currency converter is $512
35 euro is approximately $48
Besides the hosting I hire a guy who takes care of the server maintenance. He does backups to another server, he keeps the server software up-to-date (although I wonder if directadmin doesn't do that itself..) but more importantly for me I can call the guy whenever I have a server problem or question or even if I have some technical script question regarding my sites etc. For this I pay 130 euro every month ($ 178). I wonder; nowadays, aren't upgrades and backups included in most hosting deals?
Cheers
