Tips to Get the Best Deal on a Dedicated Server
 NegotiateDedicated server prices can be negotiated. Most sales representatives have a quota of freebies that they can give to you. Those may be cash discount, free options or free upgrade. Most companies have a live chat session. You can negotiate the price over the chat session and continue talking with them over the email. Try contacting 3-5 companies and leave the same requirements for them to get back to you with the quote. If you're switching a provider, tell them what you're getting from the current provider. Tell them you're shopping for more options, more powerful server at a lower price. See if they are willing to beat your current price.
