As of November 2026, after checking India-facing prices and how Indian buyers actually run dedicated servers:<\/p>\n

Two facts India buyers often miss<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. The cheapest card price is usually not the managed price.<\/strong> A \u20b95,499 self-managed server plus a \u20b93,000\u2013\u20b95,000 management add-on plus a cPanel licence is no longer a \u20b95,499 server. Compare like for like<\/strong>: same management scope, renewal price, setup fee and GST.<\/li>\n
  2. RAID is not backup.<\/strong> RAID 1 protects you from one failed disk – not from ransomware, a bad deploy, or rm -rf<\/code>. Every dedicated server needs off-server backup (Acronis<\/strong><\/a>, Comet<\/strong><\/a> or similar), whichever provider you pick.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
