To get the listed discounted price you need to pre-pay for a year. To get the slightly increased renewal rate you need to pre-pay for another year after your initial billing period. Even though the JustHost dedicated servers come with a free domain name, the domain whois privacy costs extra and is currently priced at $0.99/mo. You can get a combo with a domain name registration and whois privacy cheaper at one of the top registrars.

Server options
You can choose between Linux or Windows OS. The prices are the same. cPanel and WHM is included when choosing the managed Linux option and Plesk and WebMatrix with the managed Windows option. You can choose between having your server semi-managed or managed. If you select semi-managed you won't get cPanel or Plesk but you will save about $10/mo. I would not suggest going for this unless you know what you're doing. The prices we show are for the managed option.
Expensive domain names
If you need a new domain name I would suggest using one of the top registrars and save about 50% off the cost compared to what this web hosting company charges. HostGator is charging $14.95 per year for whois privacy for your domain name, which in contrast, is totally free with some of the best domain registrars.

This dedicated server has an Intel i3 CPU.
To get the listed price you need to choose 1 year billing cycles. If you go for month to month payment the price increases.
You can upgrade the server resources, on the billing page, to 16 GB RAM for $40/mo and to 32 GB RAM for $100/mo. Additional IP addresses can be added.
1 CPU Litespeed licence for improved CPU efficiency and faster website load speeds can be added for $42/mo.
1 TB Storage for continuous data protection can be added for $100/mo, else you will need to handle your own backups.
They state on their website that they have a “anytime money back gurantee” but you actually need to cancel within the first 30 days to qualify for a refund. Also note that domain registrations, setup fees and migration fees are not refundable. SSL certificates have a 7-day refund window from time of purchase.
Domain registration is $14.95 USD so I would recommend to check out our list of cheaper domain registrars to save a few bucks.

The Standard dedicated servers
The Standard dedicated servers by DreamHost and come in three sizes. Choose between 4, 8, and 16 GB RAM.
The rest of the hardware and features are the same amongst all these three options.
The CPUs are Intel Xeon with 4 cores and 8 threads. Storage is only HDD disks which are slower than SSD – and that is a drawback.
All the DreamHost plans come with their custom control panel and it is apparently not possible to change to cPanel or something else.
Pretty high prices
Price-wise these dedicated servers do not offer the best value compared with similar servers by other hosts.
I would hope that they could offer lower prices when taken into consideration that they do not offer 24/7 live chat support, SSD disks, or expensive control panels like cPanel or Plesk.
