If I wanted to rent a phone on a 1Mbps "unmetered" line for $16 a month I guess I know where to look.
$10/mo for a pi 3. Are they fucking high?
But man, your Pi comes with 16GB of flash memory and will be delivered as soon as the 2 day package from Amazon arrives in their offices.
Their "free server for a year" gimmick is pretty shady...
The server is $7/mo normally, but the setup fee for it is $79 so the server ends up being just shy of $7/mo anyway except you have to pay for a year up front... pretty scummy marketing.
I guess I'm buying it every couple months?
And in their whole budget server table they suddenly switch from amount of traffic to speed of port, hmmm
So, you get the choice of an X2150 for free ($79 setup), $7/mo ($19 setup), or $29/mo ($0 Setup), or an ARM v8 for $129.99/mo ($0 setup). They're high as hell. Scaleway will cut you off a piece of theirs for 10% of that.
$7/mo, $13.99 setup for a x2150, 4 cores, 8GB RAM, 32GB SSD and 100mbps on a 1gbps port. This is a bare metal server not a cloud server.
FOR SCIENCE!
I got one of these Dedis in Bucharest, it was 8.99$.
Its advertised as 10Mbit, and yes, its 1Gbit shared.
Here are some benchmarks:
Its beats an Atom dedi by 2x the performance but still, its not going to be a beast.
If you need a small dedi with SSD go for it, when they have it discounted to around 8-9$.
Performance wise, you can get a KS4C while flashsale for 15.30$ which has about 6k benchmark, also there are some Intel Avotons available with around 4k around the same price range.
But the Support was fast actually, if you prefer good support, its a plus for them, I kinda like the livechat.
What's the panel like? Are you able to choose different OSes or do they have a rescue boot?
Seems intriguing, but I stopped at this step in the order:
When configuring hostname. Even something as simple as "serv" fails.
the ipv6 only is looks interesting
No Rescue boot, Debian on request.
Spoiler: the NY Dedi for 7$ its not 10Mbit, again 1Gbit shared.
But no guarantee that yours also gets Gbit.
A Dedi for the Kimsufi price, with 1Gbit, SSD double the performance as the Atom.
Not bad, the downside its just v6 and no AntiDDOS.
Small update, NY seems to be stable, BU had apparently and outage 2 days ago.
Hopefully, BU gets stable again.
