Hybrid Servers are genuinely an amazing product, and we are currently the only web host in the UK offering Hybrid Servers to our customers. Using a mixture of dedicated hard disks (with industry-leading SAS disks), guaranteed RAM and super low vCPU contention rates, they are seriously powerful, and seriously cheap.
The pudding
But that is all very easy for us to say and the proof as they say, is in the pudding. So here is the pudding. The table below compares the dedicated servers from other UK web hosts that have the closest price as our entry level Hybrid Server, the HS 100. We’ve ignored short term price promotions because you won’t be paying that price in 3 months or so time.
