   Although your specific dedicated server hosting needs may be unique in a few ways, generally, one can make a decision on a dedicated web server provider by considering the following things:
   Data Transfer Rates
   Data transfer will need to be determined based on the amount of information that will be downloaded, as well as the type of content a site will be sharing (general text vs. high resolution graphics and multimedia).
   Platforms
   The two most common systems available are Windows based servers versus some flavor of UNIX (Linux and Solaris). Windows is historically more expensive, but is generally regarded as more user-friendly, especially with the ubiquitous presence of Windows-based pc’s and administrators. Linux, on the other hand, is less expensive to install, but harder to maintain, as a steeper learning curve exists for those unfamiliar with it.
   First, the platform should be conducive to the coding in which the website and necessary applications are developed. Next, since administration of the dedicated server will be done by the subscriber, the necessary skill base to support the platform must be in place. Commands and administration techniques are definitely platform-specific.
   Monitoring
   Dedicated server monitoring works to prevent service interruptions. The web host will provide a service that can, at a pre-set frequency, check a website to see downtime.
   Automation
   Although dedicated web servers may require a greater degree of skill, certain dedicated server hosting companies may offer software that will automate common procedures, thus lessening the high level knowledge necessary to maintain servers and implement new services.
   Data Backup
   Some dedicated server providers assist the web hosting subscriber with data backups.
   Scalability
   Dedicated server hosting providers should be able to account for major growth.
   Service Level Agreements
   More dedicated server hosts are publishing their SLA’s, which thoroughly documents what they will do in exchange for what the customer is responsible for. For instance, some dedicated server hosts are offering features such as: 100% uptime guarantees, unlimited live answer technical phone-based support, free upgrades of patches, hot-fixes, etc. Try to visit this website for more information:

   First off i would ask how long they have been in business. Then ask them about there uptime, ask them for a link to an uptime tracker. Move on to ask the where there datacenter is located, if you can pick a datacenter closer to your target area. Ask them if the secure and optimize the server or is it self managed. Never buy a server with root access. Ask them about reboot times, if they have a hardware replacement SLA. Lastly ask them if they have a download test file so you can test the speed of there network. If you have any questions email me via the link in my profile.

   I think what matters most for dedicated server plans is service… & companies which provide good service do so whether U are on shared hosting, VPS or dedicated server. So service is the keyword..
