Take a look on this section, you may find something for your need :

As far as I recall, Serverpronto used to have servers starting under $50, though the configuration doesn't compare to the one above. They also have a $5 promo (order page offers a $50 much more powerful server), but there's a waiting list.

As to the quality, I can't comment on that, it's up to you do you your research.

Try Joe Datacenter, they look very committed to me, read some good reviews on it too

Do you have any specific server location that you need ? UK, US etc ?

Since your Budget is only $50 and you would like to have a Server, I totally suggest a VPS. It's almost like a dedicated server just that it's virtual only. At least you're still getting the same server environment. Just that it's shared amongst a few people.

Your budget really suits a VPS. Try it out, don't be so quick to jump into getting a Dedicated Server yet.

Agreed, and a properly setup VPS should isolate you from the other customers, so it will feel like an actual server.

Raise your budget a little bit and you should be able to get a managed VPS, which might be helpful if you don't have much experience administrating a server.

What server location are you interested in?

How much hard disk do you require?

$50 is a pretty common price for a dedicated server with what you are looking for. It would also depend on the amount of space you need. A little bit of research goes a long way.

You must look for you regional servers they can be much profitable. If you are looking for cheap hosting then you must look at India or china.

You can get cheaper hosting service that is best suited to your budget

First, how much space/disk do you need? Also, with your budget try looking into VPS and upgrade to a dedicated server at a later time when you outgrow the VPS.

Your Budget really seems to very low for dedicated server, you will get quality service VPS for 49$.
