# Same hardware. 40% cheaper. 10 Gbps included.

The big hosts rent the same CPUs, memory and drives for about 40% more, then charge hundreds a month for a 10 Gbps unmetered port. Here is exactly how we do it for less, and what we chose not to do.

[Browse servers](https://powerdedi.com/dedicated-servers)

- **Below market**: ~40% (average across 18 configs)
- **10G elsewhere**: +$630 (per month, median add-on)
- **Delivery**: ~15 min (for in-stock servers)
- **Traffic billed**: 0 TB (unmetered, both ways)

## Checked against the market, configuration by configuration.

For each server we took the median public list price of the same CPU, memory and storage at major European and US hosts, with their standard 1 Gbps port. Then we added what they charge for 10 Gbps unmetered.

- **Ryzen 7 7700** 64 GB · 2×1 TB NVMe
  Elsewhere $129 for the hardware plus about $630 for 10 Gbps unmetered, $759 in total; PowerDedi $79 with 10 Gbps unmetered included.
- **Ryzen 9 9950X** 128 GB · 2×1.92 TB NVMe
  Elsewhere $265 for the hardware plus about $630 for 10 Gbps unmetered, $895 in total; PowerDedi $159 with 10 Gbps unmetered included.
- **EPYC 9454P** 256 GB · 2×3.84 TB NVMe
  Elsewhere $812 for the hardware plus about $630 for 10 Gbps unmetered, $1,442 in total; PowerDedi $489 with 10 Gbps unmetered included.

Monthly USD list prices checked September 2026, setup fees and VAT excluded (EUR at 1.16). Hardware: median of the same CPU, memory and storage at major EU/US hosts. 10 Gbps unmetered: median add-on across 19 providers (from $100 to $1,500).

### PowerDedi vs. a typical dedicated host

| Feature | PowerDedi | Typical host |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Bandwidth | 10 Gbps unmetered, included | 1 Gbps; 10G unmetered ≈ +$630/mo or capped |
| Setup & contract | $0 setup, month to month | Setup fees; best prices need 12–36 months |
| Delivery | ~15 min for in-stock servers | Hours to several business days |
| IPMI / KVM | Included on every server | Often limited, extra or by ticket |
| DDoS protection | Always on, included | Sometimes capped or paid |
| Payment | BTC, ETH, XMR, USDT, SOL | Card or bank; crypto is rare |

## Four decisions that make the price.

None of them is a trick. Each removes a cost that other hosts pass on to you.

1. **Crypto-only billing**: Card processing costs hosts around 3% of revenue, and chargeback fraud, where a server is used then disputed, costs even more. Accepting only cryptocurrency removes both, along with the teams that fight them.
2. **Hardware bought, not leased**: We buy servers in volume and run them for years, with spare parts on site. No leasing markup, and no need to recover the cost of a machine in its first year.
3. **Wholesale bandwidth**: We buy transit in bulk and peer directly at internet exchanges, so the cost per gigabit is a fraction of retail. That is what makes a 10 Gbps unmetered port affordable on a $55 server.
4. **Automation instead of sales**: Ordering, payment, provisioning and reinstalls are self-service. No sales calls, no account managers, no quotes for standard servers: engineers spend their time on the platform and on support.

## What we don’t do, on purpose.

Low prices come from saying no to some things. Better you know them before you order.

- **No card, bank or PayPal payments** Crypto only. It is the biggest single reason our prices are lower.
- **No phone support** Support is by ticket, answered by engineers. Outages are handled 24/7.
- **No managed services** We run the hardware and the network; you run the OS and everything on it.
- **No backups of your data** Keep your own, ideally in another city. Storage servers make good targets.
- **No Windows licenses** Windows Server works fine with your own license, installed from an ISO.
- **No discounts for long contracts** Monthly is the only term, and already about 40% below market.

## Who PowerDedi is for, and who it isn’t for.

**A great fit if you**

- Run Linux or BSD yourself and want root, IPMI and a clean machine
- Move a lot of data: nodes, streaming, downloads, backups
- Want predictable monthly costs with no traffic bill
- Already hold crypto, or prefer not to share card or bank details
- Need a server now, not after a sales call

**Probably not for you if you**

- Need managed hosting or someone to administer your OS
- Must pay by card or bank transfer, or need net-30 invoicing
- Require a provider with its own SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification
- Need per-second cloud elasticity or managed databases

## Bare metal, with the VPS experience.

Everything you expect from a cloud VM, on hardware that is 100% yours.

- **Deployed in minutes** In-stock servers provision automatically, 24/7.
- **One-click OS reinstall** Debian, Ubuntu, Alma, Rocky, Proxmox, FreeBSD or your ISO.
- **IPMI / KVM over IP** Out-of-band console, even when the OS won’t boot.
- **Rescue & power control** Hard reboot, power cycle and a Linux rescue system.
- **Your IPs, your rules** Dedicated IPv4, routed /64 IPv6 and full rDNS.
- **Monthly, no lock-in** Add IPs, request upgrades or cancel whenever you want.
