Recently missed catches

The rare ones that got away: servers that went for 30% or more under what the same setup normally sells for. With a hunt armed, they could have been yours.

Already have a server? See if you're overpaying.

Tell us what you have and what you pay. We compare it with what the same setup sells for today, and how many as good or better went for less this month.

How it works

01

Watch

We monitor the auctions around the clock, so nothing good slips past while you're asleep or busy.

02

Value

Every server is judged against what the same setup normally sells for. We only flag genuine value, not just a low price tag.

03

Catch

Tell us the spec you're hunting. When a real deal turns up, we grab it within your limits and let you know. Not the right box? Cancel it.

Questions

What is a dedicated server auction?

Some hosting companies sell their used dedicated servers in an online auction (in German: Serverbörse) at a monthly price, with no setup fee. The best ones are gone within minutes.

How do I find cheap dedicated servers there?

Tell Server Drops the spec you want and the most you'll pay a month. We track every server on the auction, compare it with what the same setup normally sells for, and catch the real deals for you.

Does Server Drops buy the server for me?

Yes. We order it on your own hosting account the moment it turns up, so it's yours: you see it in your account, you're billed directly by the host, and you can cancel it there.

What does it cost?

Our fee is about one month's saving on the server we catch, and only when we catch one. Keep the server for more than a month and Server Drops has paid for itself.

How much cheaper are the deals?

A good deal is 15% or more under the usual price for that setup; the best ones (we call them trophies) are 30% or more under.

How do you work out the usual price?

From real sales: the middle price this exact setup (same CPU, RAM and every disk) sold for in the last 3 months. If that exact setup hasn't sold, we use the closest setup that has (same CPU and RAM), and never price it higher than that, so savings aren't overstated. Every server shows how its price was worked out.

Can my AI agent use it?

Yes: agents can see the current deals and the odds for a spec, and sign you up, through a free API. See the page for agents.
