Whether hiring a managed server hosting or dedicated hosting, you will probably find yourself needing to chose which server to hire. Many dedicated server hosting companies allow you to customize the server, others allow you to chose from pre-built servers. Your first decision in any server should be which processor to use. Intel's mainstream server offering is the Xeon and AMD's is the Opteron.
They both come in a variety of packages:
Single processor configuration
Ideal for web hosting or other low cost dedicated servers
Dual processor configuration
Ideal for SQL server hosting, exchange server hosting or other application servers.
Multi-processor configuration
Ideal for Virtual Server hosting or other processor and resource intensive application server hosting.
