General

How can you offer true Dedicated Servers at such a low Price?

This is the most frequently asked question of all. ServerPronto is able to maintain this everyday pricing on dedicated servers by owning and operating our own colocation facility, buying bandwidth in large blocks, utilizing our own staff for maintenance and support, and buying hardware in bulk quantities. In essence, our 10 years of experience and purchasing power in this industry are being put to work for you. We always wonder why the other guys charge so much.
