How can this really be free?

Our simple and honest answer might shock you, but people can't resist free things.

There are dozens of efficiency, cost cutting, and automation techniques that contribute to keeping our costs low - take a look at the box to the right. One of the big reasons we are able to offer such a deal is by asking customers to prepay for the first year. It helps us manage our cash flow and makes us operate more efficiently. When our expenses are reduced, we can pass savings along to you. With thousands of servers sold over the last 11 years, we know how to make things affordable. We don't use junk hardware or shady providers our outsource overseas. We know you'll love our fast and stable service so much that you'll stay with us for years to come. It's a win-win!

Abusers cost everyone time and money, so they're welcome to go elsewhere.

We have no tolerance for abusers, spammers, scammers, crackers or billing slackers. If you're a developer, hobbyist, small business, reseller host, or otherwise on the level, we'd love to have you host here. By having customers prepay their contract, we don't waste time chasing deadbeats, while simultaneously discouraging abusers from signing up for a server and making things difficult for everyone.

OK, but why offer a dedicated server for free for a whole year?

Our simple and honest answer might shock you, but people can't resist free things and we like selling tons of servers. Selling tons of servers allows us to keep prices stupid cheap. Even if we didn't offer a free YEAR, our prices are still some of the lowest in the industry. If you compare this site with our regular site, DedicatedUNIX.com, you'll see that we offer the same servers at the equivalent monthly prices - but without a free year. We know that once you become our customer, you'll be so satisfied that you won't want to leave. And even better, our prices are not introductory rates, they will never increase.

That's our promise!
