## What RentServers.com does
RentServers.com is a buyer-side sourcing and counter-quote desk for GPU clusters, bare-metal server fleets and colocation. A buyer sends a spec, an invoice or a renewal notice. The desk asks 3+ providers to bid blind against the technical spec, then normalizes every quote into one 36-month cost: setup fees, promotional price cliffs, extra IPv4, egress overage, RAID/OS licensing, DDoS tiers, hardware-replacement SLA hours and SLA credit caps. Providers bid blind against the technical spec. Your name, email and company stay with the desk until you pick a winning quote.

How it is paid: free for buyers on referrals, where the chosen provider pays a referral fee and nothing is added to the quote. Renewal Guard: free counter-quotes 60–90 days before a renewal. Managed AI Hosting is a separate paid service from Wells Software Consulting LLC (deploying and running AI chatbots, assistants and document Q&A tools); it is not server resale, never appears on a quote shortlist, and referral commissions are not part of it. Single VPS and spend under $100/mo is self-serve. Details: https://rentservers.com/how-we-make-money/

Stay when when your servers depend on each other over OVHcloud's private network (vRack) and moving one means moving all of them; when you rely on a certification or the included DDoS protection that an alternative would charge for; or when the extra cost over the term is smaller than the engineering time a migration would take.
Switch when when the server is a self-contained workload (an app node, a game server, a build box), when the renewal is weeks away and the increase is large, or when you are adding servers anyway and the new ones would be priced at the new rates.

Stay when when your fleet is stable and you aren't adding or resizing servers: the prices you already have are worth keeping. Stay, too, when -LTD stock is available for the configuration you need, or when your servers rely on free internal traffic to the rest of your Hetzner fleet.
Switch when when you're adding capacity and would pay the new prices anyway, when you need ECC memory on a line where only the higher configuration has it, or when your users are in North America and the servers would otherwise sit in Germany or Finland.

## The 36-month scorecard
Every quote is laid out month by month for 36 months: rent (with promo periods, announced price changes and an assumed annual rise after any price lock), setup fees, extra IPv4, egress overage, add-ons and one-time migration. Anything a quote doesn't state is counted as $0 and flagged as not stated. The result names three winners: lowest 36-month cost, best SLA and network, fastest delivery.
