hello. Check our offers https://dc.dignusdata.center/cart.php?gid=26
Thanks for the reply, I checked the link and found vps servers. Do you allow 24/7 encoding on those servers? I want 24/7 encoding.
yes cores are dedicated
So you offer 2 dedicated Intel Xeon Gold 6148 cores for as low as 3 EUR a month? Even when you are using the threads as a Vcore this means that a server is full with 20 customers. That’s a revenue of 60 EUR, while the dedicated server will cost you at least 1200 EUR a month.
Why should we trust this?
Possibly engineering samples on owned hardware? Besides that, your talking minimum ~2 years roi on chips alone. Maybe have a hook for used xeons, who knows. All these prices seem insane but benches seem to be legit in some instances, worst case ends up in some serious LET drama when flames out
Edit: just grabbed the 2g vps in Belgium , paid with btc since not many domestic options. Payment went through, ill run some benchs after vps is activated
Very interesting to see benches. Too good to be true.
Will see, had option of 7-8 locations so unless coloed hardware, they are renting these with no chance of roi. Assuming dedicated might just allow multiple people to utilize 100% of each vcore without fup or regard for steal?
Edit:
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 6
model : 13
So off to a rocky start. Chose Belgium since doubted they actually offered and was provisioned in Germany with hetzner. Knowing hetzner lineup pretty well, assumed this was not actually gold 6148 and seems ‘‘twas correct.
@dingusdata
Any idea of this chip? Can’t be their epyc line as dedicated instances with these specs are 10x the price. Assuming their breaking up ax41’s?

Owned hardware could be the case, but the ROI on the cpu alone is years even when acquired second hand. Still, it looks like they're using dedi's.
There are some benchmarks in other threads and I haven't seen anyone get a real Xeon Gold cpu. All old models or low-core-high-clockspeed cpu's. And in other cases they just hide the real cpu model. So that's a thing. Furthermore a lot of customers never seem to get the location they ordered either.
With all due respect, as Dignusdata seems to run a business with servers in a lot of locations, but you never get what you buy. And that's just plain unreliable at best.
Edit: your box might just be an AMD EPYC 7502P (Hetzner AX-161) which is a very good cpu, but not what they listed. Still, with 64 threads and the cheapest package of 3 EUR a month, that adds up to 96 EUR, while this dedi costs 119 EUR at Hetzner. So if these threads are really dedicated they're still selling it at a loss.
This is what I get on an AX41 KVM for comparison:
So spec wise, even for dedicated just about anything, these seem very good. On mobile and kiddos awake so I'll play with it tonight. For $3/m I'll prob keep just to play with the dedicated vcores, but I'd be weary of using for production just based on the lack of transparency when ordering and loss leading business model. Hetzner ROI is one thing with the numbers game and investment to burn, but small resellers won't last long playing the same game
Wtf? Its
model name:AMD EPYC 7502P 32-Core Processor
Lol I'll take but financially this is not possible
Just also grabbed:
Well see if it's an epyc, and if so that's just ridiculous. Pricing is weird, other plans are more for less cores and ram, and higher plans specify epyc and 2288g. The 1g line might take a hit since while it is gueranteed to the box, as my ex42 is maxed all day, if 8-16 ppl are crushing it, gonna be ify.
Gonna spin up cloudbox and start some software transcoding later on, prob Monday night and see if they are dedicated
The VM with an Intel Xeon E-2288G is 16 cores. The E-2288G has 8 cores and 16 threads. Please @DignusData explain us how you do this. Especially if those cores are dedicated.
Assuming vcores, but still lol gonna guess all these vps are either epycs being sold at loss from splitting up ax161 or random xeons. Still waiting on 16g/10$, I'll update if provisioned today
Of course, but it would still mean that you get a full machine.
prob just oversold, heavily
if u get a shit neighbor, you're in for a bad time
Probably, but they sell their cores as dedicated.
interesting thing overselling dedicated vcores
@DignusData could u fix the Looking glass ? http://lg-test.dignusdata.center/ not working.
Also could u provide testip for belgium location ?
I found this one earlier: 185.104.186.34. Is M247, routing is a bit weird for me as it goes from Rotterdam through Frankfurt to Brussels.
Don't think the cores are dedicated.
I got a 4x core VPS whose host is NOT a Xeon Gold 6148 as ordered but a Xeon E5-2673 v3.
But:
Shouldn't that be "0 1 2 3" if dedicated?
ez to assign a core to a VM, give it 256 work units out of 1024 and call it dedicated lmao
Oh I'm not saying you can't, but if true that's nail in coffin for any legitimacy of these offers
I have already wrote almost the same to him. There no logic.
They need to oversell A LOT to get service profitable.
Go figure, the $10 vps non provision ticket response
Kinda weird had to ticket them to find out they took an order and payment with no stock, 15 hrs later. No biggie, kinda what i figured, assume week or two until my 8x6148 turns into 2x1245v2 vps.
I purchased Vserver SSD-8G
8GB DDR4
4xIntel Xeon Gold 6148

KVM
with windows server 2012 r2
I got it instantly, windows license is expired. I tried to do some encoding, found that, it is very slow. Even transferring my media files via FTP is not fast as expected.
Run
See whatcha got, honestly assume there dedicated in the sense that no fup exists, and everyone can just have their way with the vcores. Also check out htop to check on steal
This will not work on Windows. I checked the CPU on task manager and it shows QEMU virtual CPU v. 2.5+, with 4 virtual processors.
Even easier with hwinfo or cpuz
Or go into cmd
I ordered a VPS from Dingus too, although mine seems to have 8 cores when I ordered the €5 one which should have 2, I can't really complain and seems to be working well enough (although I haven't had very taxing workloads yet).
SSD and ram seems the right amount.
Lol latest update on actual provisioned vps
Can't ping, restart, stop, power off. More stock expected Monday for my $10 plan. Great balls of fire
End is nigh' 🙏
