Dedicated Servers · $109.99/mo (4 GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 1024 GB HDD/SSD (unspecified), 10000 GB transfer)
GoDaddy's $109.99/mo dedicated server is significantly overpriced compared to VPS alternatives with identical or superior specs at 1/10th the cost. While dedicated servers offer different isolation guarantees, the spec-for-spec value proposition is poor, and GoDaddy's notorious renewal-price trap (1.7x-2.5x) makes long-term cost even worse.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 100GB SSD, unlimited traffic for $5.94/mo - nearly identical compute at 1/18th the price with no renewal trap if you commit to 24 months upfront.
Caveat: Quoted price is effective rate for 24-month prepaid term; shorter terms cost more per month; support is ticket-only on lower tiers.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 200GB NVMe SSD, unmetered bandwidth, plus $60 Amazon gift card promo for $8.36/mo intro rate.
Caveat: Renewal jumps to $9.99-$15.99/mo after intro term; requires 36-month contract to get lowest advertised price; domain and privacy are free only year one.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 75GB NVMe, 1 Gbps bandwidth, daily backups included, 99.99% SLA for $8.50/mo with transparent pricing.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour surcharge; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 160GB NVMe SSD, 5TB transfer, 1 Gbps port, DDoS protection for $9.99/mo on 3-year term (or $5.99/mo 1-year promo).
Caveat: Renewal pricing is 2-4x higher than intro rate; lowest prices require 24-36 month upfront payment; free domain and IP only year one.
8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 80GB SSD, 20TB transfer for $9.99/mo with 99.9% SLA and no long-term contract lock-in required.
Caveat: Prices exclude VAT; traffic overage billed per GB beyond 20TB EU pool (much lower in USA/Singapore); recent large price increases on some instance lines (up to 2.75x in June 2026).
