That is the cheapest dedicated server I have ever seen :P
Only thing is their network does not provide ddos protection where a majority of VPS companies provide DDoS protection. Only thing I can think of. Please correct me if I am wrong though.
It depends on what use you are planning to do with it (and also from the VPS we are talking about). Anyway, kimsufi has something cheaper.
Here's the actual page with their offers: https://www.wholesaleinternet.net/dedicated/
That's a really nice deal.
The problem with these is that if you screw something up, no IPMI and you have to request a manual reinstall. Kimsufi is definitely the better choice for a cheap dedi.
when I had a server with them in the past they were reply support tickets fast , two times re-install with them it took about 1-2 hours to reinstall server.
but I don't know how many times re-install for free / per month (don't remember)
They couldnt manage my $60 server right, let alone any $10
Google says the site not safe on mobile
The $10 says: dualcore ATOM
I had one of these about 2 months ago for $10 and they gave me an e5200 I believe although it was downclocked to 2GHz (and not by powersaving), it was supposed to be 4GB of RAM but they gave me 2GB instead. It was a nice little server for $10 but I gave it up as I couldn't really find a use for it
How can they give you less RAM than you paid for? Wouldn't this be a breach of contract and thus entitle you to a full refund?
Thought so too at first, but the next one is also $10.
Just noticed!
Its a shame that you cant add any extra drives, I would have taken one.

so it's one time OS reinstall per month , is it right ?
I would assume so.
Wow, I forgot how cheap WholeSale was!
I used WholeSaleInternet many years ago, they where always helpful and quick.
Left because connection back to Australia was not that great
isn't D.A also free with them?
Does anybody have a different test IP? The one on their website has very abnormal routing for me, goes through Europe then back to the US.
Pretty sure, last I saw, DA licenses were free for DataShack customers, which DataShack and WholeSale both share the same building.
Does anyone know if you can sideload Windows on the Atom or C2D like a Kimsufi or Online.net box @joodle

IMHO I would avoid. I think though that you can ask for KVM. Its USB and very slow though. (so slow that my Windows install did corrupt. The fact I was installing from the other side of the world probably didn't help though)
a dedi i can't re-install any time "freely" is not a dedi.
How about just not f*cking it up? I have not reinstalled most of my dedis in their whole lifetime after ordering.
IPMI hardware costs money, here you are offered a product which is cheap in part because it does not offer IPMI and because of a limit on the support time and effort you are allowed to request for manual reinstalls. And if you order a server not to fool around and screw things up but to actually use, these tradeoffs should be perfectly acceptable for the price.
Sure they did not automate reinstalls via a panel, but guess what, implementing automated reinstall also costs money and is a non-trivial work, which may not justify itself at all, after all this is only an issue on these ultra-cheap dedis, other offers likely have IPMI full time.
Nice to know I am not alone.
Stay away from this company Wholesale Internet and its sister concern DataShack
Companys that don't even know how to respond to a sales ticket... write"sour" one-liners on emails are out of question for any professional or business association.
Proof?
@rm_ mistakes happen and i often do that a lot in inital setup/tests, ultra cheap dedi's that restrict reinstalls to me is just a strategy or some indication something is not smooth.
