Do you confuse about this section here? this is a place to discuss dedicater server hosting plan, it is a hosting package, not the hardware "server" that we are referring now.

To choose a good dedicated server hosting plan, you need to check on the package they provides like, bandwidth, capacity, features, services add-on, prices and other related things that involves in the package.

First check the host's reputation, you'll want to consider items such as uptime and downtime, security considerations, etc.

Next the server itself, speed, capacity, server type, features (mail, php/asp, web server, dedicated ip, ipv6 support)

Then the overall package, cost, support, bandwidth, etc.

you need to check the review of that company before you buy.

And you need to make sure their support working 24 hours

thanks

Check the type of hardware, the location, upstream providers, network uptime guarantee, and support (including how quickly they respond to tickets/questions) Price is one thing, value is another.

You know, other than all the server details they have, you should search and read some reviews regarding the provider in question.

There are several things should consider before choosing a Dedicated Server :
Some are :

1) Reliability
2) 24x7 Technical Support
3) bandwidth
4) Security
5) It should be fully managed, {Almost all the hosting providers offer Fully Managed Service}
6) Flexibility
7) Operating Systems

Above are some major things to consider before choosing a Dedicated Server Hosting. Hope it helps.
