You need to negotiate. The advertised prices are starting points for talking to sales, not what you really have to pay.
You can get a 2011-gen quad-core Xeon with 16GB RAM for $250/mo or thereabouts at Softlayer.
- mwsherman 13y ago^ An important point. I emailed SoftLayer sales when setting up Alikewise and got a much better price, around $300/mo. This is probably still overpaying for my needs, but substantially cheaper than buying via their web interface. Another thing I haven’t done is renegotiate in the last 2 years. Moore’s law and all, I suspect I wouldn’t save $$ but would get more horespower for the same price.
