Looking for a VPS with 1Gbps connection
Hey everyone !
I'm looking for a vps for my Plex media server. Why a high port speed & unlimited bandwith ? Because I will get files from a seedbox, and after I will be uploading the files to Google Drive ( More than 15 Tb ). I will also need few cores as Plex will need to Transcode for the streaming. I will be using this product as a Plex Media Server and transferring files to Google drive.
VZ Type: Any
Number of Cores: 2-4
RAM: 4 GB
Disk Space: 100 GB
Disk Type: HDD
Port Speed: 1 GB/sec
DDoS Protection: No
Number of IPs: 1 IPv4
Location: North-America
Budget: 15$ USD
Billing period: Monthly
Bandwith: Unlimited

BuyVM's 'SLICE 4096' comes with 1 dedicated CPU thread 3.50+ GHz, 4GB RAM, 80GB SSD and unmetered BW. Their LG is here.
Thank you but do they have a GB/sec ?
Positive, it's 1Gbps fair share AFAIK. I bet @Francisco could shed some light on that.
Hello,
Thanks!
All plans are fair share 1Gbit.
Francisco
Hi, thank you for your fast response, can you tell me what do you mean: fair share 1 Gbit ? Like how much will I really get ? And do you think 1 core will be enough for transcoding for Plex ?
Hello,
Most nodes sit at 100mbit/sec or less usage so there's plenty if you need 15TB.
As for the transcoding, do you really need to transcode? 1 Core is likely ok for a couple streams but if you don't need to transcode it should be able to handle a fair bit more.
Francisco
Okay I was looking for a Gb/sec as I already have 100 mb/sec with the KS-3C From Kimsufi.
If you want a dedicated 1gbps connection instead of a fair share 1gbps, the price tag is not so right.
Aye. OP needs to start being realistic.
15$/mo for 1Gbit & that too for media streaming/plex is too unrealistic in my opinion. The best close we can offer is
More info: Netherlands Dedicated Servers
I think Fran meant the utilization on most nodes isn't usually over 100Mb/s, on a 1GB/s port, so there is plenty of port speed available.
Bingo!
Francisco
I'd like to get 500 mb/sec or at least better than what I currently have. If I can't find better, I will stay at Kimsufi servers. I can get 1 Gbps for my price but located in france, sadly.
I'm interested but transcoding with one core will not be easy. I got 4 cores currently and it takes like 10 seconds.
Well you'll have to open your wallet a bit wider for 4 cores. CPU is in limited supply on our nodes due to how we carve plans.
