At the end of the day, our servers run on hardware too. In theory, it would be possible to reproduce our stack given ample time, knowledge, and resources. There are many factors and variables to configuring VPS/Dedicated server. While we went off typical offerings, we do understand there are edge cases that may not reflect our chart. The performance and security of a server are dependent on the system administrator / user who configures it. Therefore, we used ranges for factors that are especially dependent on this.

While many external DDoS / CDN services exist, most cost with additional cost, maintenance, and configuring. It's impossible to account for every variation, and therefore our chart reflects only what is included by default with the service.

We've omitted "Managed" Dedicated servers - these are usually identical to those of a "Managed" VPS save price and virtualization.

Items denoted with * refer to points that are usually not included/configured by default but can be easily set up with basic experience.
