KVM in EU, ~4€/month
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a server with following specs:
CPU: should be decent, 1 or 2 cores
RAM: 2 GB+, 3 GB would be nice
Storage: 200 GB+ HDD/SAS, extreme minimum 150 GB
OS: Linux/Debian (Debian 8), KVM (no OpenVZ or similar!)
Network: 100 Mbps+ & 1 dedicated IPv4, IPv6 Subnet & 1 Gbps would be nice
Location: Central Europe
Price: ~ 4€ a month or less, VAT included, maximum would be 50-55 €/year
I want to pay semi-/annually if possible or cheaper.
Some additional information/usage, which can be considered critical:
I want to setup a mail and a vpn server for me/my family/friends (private).
Personally, I'm looking at netcup, as they had a nice offer once (RS 500 SAS or similar for 3,5€/month at Christmas 2016, which I missed, respectively 5€/month last autumn, a bit too expensive) and perhaps they make one soon.
But maybe you have some new year deals!

Me too.
Doubt it
2GB/200GB KVM VM in FR for $4/m - https://www.wishosting.com/order/main/packages/VPS/?group_id=2
doesn't look like it, they didn't have many cheap SAS offers during BF or christmas and nothing in the 3-4 € ballpark anyway. the 5€ offer would have been your best bet, but it's sold out since a few weeks either.
you simply need to raise your budget if you want more disk.
beside wishosting offer you could go for the 750GB storage of UltraVPS https://www.ultravps.eu/en/?pdid=OB595E46555DO6331C64 (aff), which is 48€ yearly but only 1GB (should suffice for mailserver and vpn anyway)
or ping @Abdullah from hosthatch who made some awesome deals lately, maybe he has some space left to cut you a custom deal.
Thank you @Falzo!
That offer looks pretty decent, but do you really think 1 GB is enough for mail server and nextcloud (apache2)? If yes, I'm likely gonna take it but I have questions/concerns:
Thanks in advance
you didn't mention the need for a lamp stack / nextcloud but anyway - I am using Filerun on it which is nextcloud based, so yeah, I don't see a problem with only 1G RAM...
1) can't tell exactly, I don't use openvpn nor am I really into IPv6 yet - maybe soon™ :-)
2) their storage things are only available in NL so far, so most likely nowhere else to switch to ;-)
3) afaik paypal is needed at least for the initial order, maybe you could switch to SEPA afterwards? never asked...
4) geekbench: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/4979189 (from their 2TB instancen, but CPU power is the same anyway)
network speeds:
5) how is that meant? you can use the resources you get... but you shouldn't do anything illegal, like with all providers. just read their tos:
and as you already noted
there is an option to cancel within their control panel, can't exactly say if they require anything more, because I am not going to press that button on any of my services ^^
Thanks again!
Yes, I forgot to mention my lamp with nextcloud! Gonna test around a bit.
Network and CPU look great.
To 5: I meant something like CPU limitation over time (overall usage < 0.5)
Better explained here I think https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/16250/understanding-aup-s-cpu-load-terms
no, it's not OVZ but KVM. also decent providers don't need to define crappy virtual limitations via TOS, they rather implement proper balancing on the hypervisor ;-)
Make sure you do your research on the providers, cough cough.
check time4vps once
OpenVPN needs one ip/port combination per instance. What problems do you envision?
Payment is through Paypal, but a Paypal account is not needed.
openvz
If a server have 128gb ram the provider can create 64 vps servers with each 2gb ram. If he sells 1gb ram for $2 he gets $256 per month.
In additional he pays licenses like solusvm ($10 month), paypal fees like $40, ips like $64 month, and on the end remains ~$130 for the server fees.
Am curious to know how they do exists
?
