As it relates to cheap dedicated servers, hard dollar savings refer to real savings made in actual currency, whereas soft dollar headaches refer to the indirect costs that can arise from implementing a new process or undertaking a project. These headaches may not necessarily involve actual dollars and cents but can impact a business in other ways, such as loss of productivity, employee morale, or strategic focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if your new server has issues related to provisioning\/upgrading applications, how much productivity could be lost by spending hours online with support personnel deep diving for a resolution? Loss of production frequently results in real money going down the drain, and the dollars you thought you were saving by settling for a server a few dollars cheaper upfront disappear quicker than a dog can woof down a hot dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
