Where to get hardware?

GodsGods Member

Where do hosting providers usually get hardware? I'm looking at retailers like Newegg or Aliexpress then comparing to the manufacturer's website. Seems like for hard drives and SSds the manufacturer's websites are cheaper.

Was just wondering if there is like a website to check out?

Thanks in advance

    We've used:

    • WiredZone
    • SuperBiiz
    • Amazon

    I would be interested to hear of others, too.

  • Amazon refurbished/warehouse deals

  • deankdeank Member, Troll

    I can vouch for SuperBiiz / Ewiz - whatever names they've had in the past. Man, those guys rebranded a lot if my memories are correct.

    And Ebay of course.

    SuperBiiz, NewEgg, ProVantage

    Pfft. Do you have any proof? They could have just locked you in an outhouse for a couple hours.

    Europe is a lie.

    Haha. No euroexit or politics. Just asking for some plastic, copper, silicon, a little bit of gold on top. Stuff like that.

    Ebay

    4x Amazon (ES/DE/IT/FR) - I use tropicalprice.com to check the amazon with the cheapest parts, it's usually ES or DE.

    Edit_ Amazon UK is also somewhat in europe. Prices are shit though

    For those interested, I found a nice site with some good deals on refurbished servers.
    It's a dutch website but just use google translate on Chrome and you'll be fine.

    https://www.creoserver.com

    For EU? Well depends on what hardware you wanna buy, and what quantity.
    Where I used to work, we bought disks, network cards, servers, RAM etc - directly from Dell/Intel/Supermicro/HP/Samsung if the quantity was big enough for a given order, to get a decent price.

    For low quantity orders, we'd use a list of different suppliers depending on hardware type - https://www.memorysolution.de/ was one of them - which was used mainly for purchasing low quantity of Samsung enterprise SSDs.

  • spectraipspectraip Member, Patron Provider

    We are using ServerDirect.nl for our new Supermicro servers.

  • BradyHBradyH Member, Host Rep

    Depending on what you are going to buy and the amount of it. You can go to the vendor direct and they are going to get you connected with a dealer that will sell that product to you.

  • micronodesmicronodes Member, Host Rep

    We mostly use eBay through Mr. Rackables store for servers.

    Otherwise, sometimes companies within the same datacenter or city that want to sell second hand hardware, however we prefer eBay, because we can get exactly what we are looking for.

  • Whatever you do just make sure you get that juicy cash back or other award line miles.

    Off the back of a white van. Their speakers are pretty premium quality, too.
