ZxHost storage alternative

charos

Now that the let service is officially part of deadpool, what are the alternatives ? Got spoiled for the past few years with the service , so I don't think I could get the same deal, but what are the realistic options at the moment?

Best bang for the buck at the moment appears to be HostSolutions (might still be OOS), wishosting, and SpeedyKVM.

Hosthatch deal supposedly expired last night. I wasn't able to resist so I got one. It works great. Only problem is I haven't figured out yet what to do with it.

I think it was ZXHost's dying wish that we look into Time4VPS for storage solutions.

Both solid options.

Managed to cut down my backups from 0.9TB to 0.5TB to jump on UltraVPS..

Any chance your testing for storage is going well?

Hardy begun... sorry, also with sys offering arm based big storage for peanuts I am wondering if there is any point.

If you mean https://www.soyoustart.com/us/server-storage/ those arm servers imho aren't that amazing. They want $34 for an ARM server with 1x6TB disk and 2gb ram. That's more than I'm paying for a Hetzner i7-3770 with 32gb ram and 2x 3tb. There had been a recent run-up in Hetzner auction pricing, but hopefully it's temporary.

Yeah, I considered those but.. $5.6/TB on a single disk isn't exciting IMO, especially without 1gbps burst to dump data on.

Hmm. I just recalled that if you already have an ssd server with Hetzner, it makes sense to get their 10TB(32 euro) enterprise HDD as addon, if you need HUGE rsync or nfs backup mounts.(else, Storage box all the way)

But I still would be keen on 48Eur/yr 900GB raid6/60 + 1G ram from Anthony in NL or DE (if deployed before March 10) . At least I'll know I'm in good hands.

Any updates with the slabs?

But I think you need the flexipack for that on most servers, another 15/mo.

Anthony had that in the works? It sounds good!
