Dedicated servers in Japan.

The servers here run in Osaka and Tokyo. Not every server is offered in every city, so check the provider's page.

Each card is the cheapest server with at least that many physical cores and fewer than twice as many, so every card is a step up rather than a bigger box that happens to be cheap. Cores are physical cores across the whole server: the CPU's cores times its sockets, never threads.

Every price is what a month costs over the first year: the monthly price plus a twelfth of the setup fee, converted to dollars and excluding tax. A provider that states no setup fee is counted at its monthly price and its rows say so, because an unstated fee is not a fee of zero. VAT and sales tax depend on where you are billed, not where the server runs. A server whose provider was last read more than three days ago, or that the provider shows as sold out, cannot be a pick.
