Forget the dedicated servers. I can get VPS's, which are almost as good
as dedicated server for $20/mo.
A dedicated server handles a LOT of traffic. 99.99% of the websites on
the internet need nowhere near the resources of a dedicated server. In
fact, I typically run several servers on a single VPS.
The downsize is, with complete control comes complete responsibility.
Don't expect the hosting company to manage updates, set up user
accounts, etc. for you.
