Dedicated UK server with unlimited 1gbit bandwidth

thistle

Can anyone beat a dedicated:

16GB RAM
Intel Core i7-3770
6TB HDD

all with guaranteed 1gbit and unlimited (truly) bandwidth?

for £25 a month?

That's cheaper than Hetzner auction most of the time, and you only get 20TB. Go for it.

Tl;dr not gonna happen

I hear Northhosts are good

mtsbatalha

@thistle which server is this one?

What a cheap fuck.

maldovia

did u try walmart?

Clouvider

Lets see.

So HE.net is the cheapest now.
10Gbit/s for $1500 (£1111.52 by Google). That does not include: Cross Connects, Routing Equipment, Switching equipment, Expertise, Staff, Currency fluctuations, etc, to maintain.

£1111.52 / 10 = £111.15 that's your raw bandwidth. Now add server, power, marketing, spares, payment fees, non paying Customers, DDoS protection, etc. to that, and oh, btw, profit.

By the time you do that, if you're lucky and someone offers you a good deal you end up with shitty bandwidth and some server for £150 - ish.

Now you want someone to sponsor £125 of this £150 - not going to happen, sorry.

Edit: I assume you're an individual so add 20% to that costs.
Edit2: And no - we're not going to provide service for that cost - sorry.

No provider does "guaranteed & unmetered" 1Gbps in the UK for £25/month. Fair usage, maybe.

If you think they do, you're kidding yourself.

I am very interested to know from where you getting "16GB RAM Intel Core i7-3770 6TB HDD" around your budget ?

That's a small fraction compared to the ~300TB of bandwidth.

Hannan

I am interested to know where offered that?

GTHost

it is not real price for 1G unmetered bandwidth

jetchirag

I can offer that if you follow out T&C: max 10 mbit per minute.

Hetzner deal! Just copy and pasted! I would rather just support a smaller company then hetzner so was wondering if anyone could beat or match I am planning on building a file transfer app. That is what the spec represents. Thanks for getting back to me guys!

Is this per year?! Very interesting do you have any links?

Clouvider

that's per month obviously.

thistle

BTW I added the

(truly)

so it is not really a "beat"

Okay, can you explain:

Now you want someone to sponsor £125 of this £150

where did £125 come from?

unknownbullet

hetzner is based in germany, you wanted UK though right?

thistle

Yes preferably, but central European is cool.

Can you re-read my post ? It’s all explained in there.

This is a exciting topic.

Quit being a cheap skate, you won't get true 1Gbps with ANY host unless that host is making a huge loss. Hetzner doesn't offer 1Gbps unlimited for that price as far as I know so I am curious how you got that offer? Usually the Hetzner limit is 20TB @ 1Gbps.

caracal

Hetzner's "Unlimited" advertising is basically 20TB with this clause:

There are no charges for overage. We will permanently restrict 
the connection speed to 10 Mbit/s if more than 20,000 GB/month are used 
(the basis for calculation is for outgoing traffic only. 
Incoming and internal traffic is not calculated). 
1 Gbit/s speed can be optionally restored by 
committing to pay € 1.17 (excl. VAT) per additional TB used.

It's like asking provider to pay $125 of $150 for you

Amitz

I already foresee your next thread about that cheap provider not meeting your expectations... Have you ever thought about being a bit less cheap to get a lot more of quality and peace of heart?

lusirhe

this could happen and could be easily overpriced..........

by 2028.

thistle

Sorry guys I didn't mean to be tight I just saw that Hetzner were doing it for that price! And thought they would be the upper bracket!

Aidan

thistle said: I just saw that Hetzner were doing it for that price

No, they're doing 20TB.

Unmetered with them would end up costing ~350 Euro a month.
