Cheapest E3 in North America?
Like the title says, I'm looking for the cheapest E3 dedi in North America. This is just for a personal server and I don't care too much about RAM or storage or anything else.
The best I've found is $49 at WSI for an E3 1230 v2. Is that the best deal out there (entirely possible), or does anyone know of a better one?
Comments
No, that's the cheapest public offer.
Means we can PM you for a better deal?
Well, I do not sell them for $49 anymore
So no.
Would E3-1220 V3 work for you?
Depending on the price, yeah, definitely.
$49/month, E3-1220 V3, 8GB RAM, 5TB @ 100mbit, /29 IPs. You have to pay and order in though. We have limited supply so it goes fast.
That'd be a tempting deal if the E3-1230 v2 wasn't the same price at WSI. Thanks, though.
What's your point? Obviously the v3 is more powerful..
The difference between v2 and v3 is very small. Maybe like 5%.
IIRC it was 30%. IMO not worth the added power usage though.

This forum would be a better place if people read things before rushing to make snide replies
If it's a personal box, you'd better go with Cloud Shards. Don't mind the CPU difference. You'd get much better support and much better network.
Yup, I'd suggest @Dylan go with Cloud Shards. Btw, @cloudshards, what DC are these servers in?
If you have IPv6 I might have one too
@AnthonySmith Yes ipv6 is available
It's our own network. AS62638. Cogent and Internap. PCCW to be added next month.
The facility is Infomart Dallas, Viawest. http://www.viawest.com/data-center-communities/dallas-tx with SSAE16 Type 2 SOC1 SOC3, PCI Compliance and HIPPA certified.
What do your returns look lie with a $50 E3 server @concerto49
resell from $49.99 to $50 omg $0.01 profit i make big bucks time to open a hosting business with WHMCS!
What about payment gateway fees??
It's a promo for now. As to how it fits in - we have some density high power gear in the racks with some rack space left, so just finding some lower powered servers to fill it in.
WSI's offer on their E3-1230v2 is nice with the memory and dual HDD's. For being a budget provider, they do provide a pretty decent network.
I know ReliableSite (based in New York metro) has offered their E3-1230v3 for $59 sometimes, for that price and their impressive network, that's a steal.
Sorry we only accept cash
lol
Local module d:/
Great.. Order in bulk for lesser price
$59 for e3-1230v2+16g ram at getdedi.com
