Dedicated server or VPS for under £12?
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any offers or suggestions for providers of dedicated servers under the £12 mark? I've had a look on the list that rED has very kindly put together but all of the servers on there were either 100mbps or were over my budget. A VPS would also be an option, if anyone knows of any providers that have such an offering?
The server would be used as a seedbox for racing (mostly just autoDL really :P) "linux isos" on private trackers, but with a few public trackers for random things every now and then. It would also be used to potentially host a few low traffic websites (under 1k hits a month).
So basically, does anyone have any suggestions for a 1gbps (burstable) server for under £12 with 800GB+ storage - wishful thinking I know but I thought it would be worth asking.
Edit: I messed up the title.

@cociu has storage VPS offers: https://hostsolutions.ro/eng/hosting/cheap-storage-vps
Thanks for the link. My only question is if I can actually burst to 1gb for like 10 mins every now and then or if there's a 95th percentile method or something that's used to measure traffic utilisation (I want to make sure I don't abuse the service )
Online.net Dedibox SC 2016 or our V-Dedicated Avoton (it is Online.net special) - https://www.wishosting.com/order/main/packages/hybrid_servers/?group_id=5
Just wondering - what actually is your V-dedicated offering - I presume a hypervisor running on the hardware and then the whole machine allocated to the user but I'm not 100% sure what the advantages of that would be over a regular baremetal system?
Mostly for the host, he doesn't need to write custom plugins for online's control panel etc, he can just use the KVM stuff
Yes, that's correct. There are no advantages to the user except fast reinstallations.
I see. Is there any chance of buying one from you but instead of having the hypervisor installed, you just allow a KVM session for me and I install it and configure it all from my end? (Probably not as I'm guessing the setup is all scripted but it's worth a try )
Sorry, not possible. There is at least one other guy reselling those online specials on LET, I bet you'll find him if you create a separate thread.
No probs. I reckon what I might do is make a thread for that and if nothing happens, I'll take one on Wednesday if that's OK. Do you allow custom ISOs or is it all template based?
Go with Wishosting. Michael is a no-BS guy and his services are good.
Mmmm why don't you order a hosted NAS ?
I considered that but thought performance wouldn't be very good when seeding lots of torrents and simultaneously downloading.
First option on this page: http://oneprovider.com/dedicated-servers/paris-france might do the trick, albeit slightly above your budget
Intel Atom C2750 / 1TB HDD / 8GB RAM / Unlimited traffic* / 1Gbps Port / 15 € per month / Paris
It's a online.net resell so you have to abide by their "fair use" for the port. Don't remember what the specifics were but something like not sustaining traffic above 100mbps for an extended period of time.
and cheap licenses
That certainly doesn't look bad. I was looking at it and it said that the GTI was N+4 - do you by any chance know what that means?
Beats me. Where do you see that? Might help if I know the context.
It's on the online.net page for the server direct from them - http://imgur.com/9ANiaR3
After some research, it means response time.
So tickets have a response time of 4 hours. But if you go with the oneprovider deal they act as the mediator between you can online.net, so I'm not sure what their response times are.
Ah, thank you very much - I also googled it but found that it meant "Gateway Transaction Interface" which made absolutely no sense - I didn't think to check what it meant in French.
oneprovider is ok , but you shouldn't go above 250 for extended periods of time. I mean like hours not minutes. I have a box with them and excluding weekends they respond within 24 hours. Sometimes faster depends on when you catch them. DO NOT depends on the Drac/ILO there as it is older and buggy. I mean for the price they are not to bad.
Thanks for the heads up. I used to have a C2750 128GB directly from online and used the KVM on that - is it the same as that or worse? Do you have a rough amount/estimate of traffic you've managed to push on it by any chance?
We can make a custom plan with the 800GB additional disk. Contact us for more information [email protected]
i dont see your provider tag...
I have had it crash multiple times, and can get about 20 mins out of it, if I am lucky. No chance to install an iso. I have have not pushed it so no clue on the data.
