Stop speaking Chinese.
Hahaha thank you for that! I cracked up IRL. It was great
Étant chinois, je prends assez mal cette phrase...
Pourquoi, mon ami? Voulez-vous couchez avec moi, ce soir?
Attends, je demande à Madame
Oups, elle a dit non...
Je suis desoleé, mon petit chou-fleur
Congrats. I hope you were able to make any profit (so the business is sustainable and continues).
Wow!
Pretty sure them sisters be jumping with joy!
It's actually euros so it's even more, haha
You're welcome @cociu
I now have a total of 350 TB+ (bought 250 TB+ during Black Friday - I was the one scooping up HostHatch 10TBs, for example ) of storage across 15+ locations, so my services at HostSolutions.ro (50 TB once these Bucharest machines go online) actually don't represent that much of the grand total.
My goal, assuming the economics (demand, most importantly) continue to work out with my storage project, is to hit > 1 PB next year, so maybe @cociu I will break the record again next year
Breakdown of the 350TB by provider, location and price? Also, geez, what's the usecase?
Can't go into too much detail, but the machines include storage from:
NexusBytes (higher priced at ~$4.50 average but super duper prem. Falkenstein, Los Angeles, New York, Miami)
InceptionHosting (nice servers, ~$2.50 average. Phoenix)
ServaRica.com (ok servers, ~$3.33 average, but I'm gonna cancel them soon because the storage servers don't perform too well to justify the price - I'm picking hairs, as the price is super great, but there are cheaper options that are better imho. Montreal)
HostHatch.com (great prices from the last sale, great servers, ~$1.25 average. Chicago, Stockholm, London, Amsterdam)
HostSolutions.ro (great prices at ~$1.25 average right now, but CPU/disk is lackluster. Price justifies it, though. Bucharest, the normal place, Norway)
LetBox.com (good prices at ~$3 average, need to cancel the block storage things eventually because the disk latency is a bit high for me. Los Angeles)
OVH.com (Just got 3 6x 12TB servers that in RAID 5 do 60 TB each. Haven't had enough time to really test it. ~$2.75 average)
My Basement: Got an old desktop with 2x 8 TB HDDs, haha. Adding a friend's basement soon - we'll have a 12 HDD server there.
Use case is cloud storage. At these prices, it's easy to ask some smaller companies - have encrypted backups? For $6/mo, store your data with me where it's replicated across continents and different providers with instant and free retrieval from the fastest nearest location. Just a side hustle, but I now have two paid part-time employees too.
Ok - apologies for the thread hijack! Hopefully that helped @AC_Fan
Cool hustle . Are those figures $/TB?
Thanks! Yep, prices are in TB/mo.
As you can see, these HostSolutions prices are among the lowest I know of with (and I dig hard to find good deals). They are a bit higher than their lowest, but combined with their 50% top up bonus, not a bad deal at all.
Not bad at all! I found a limited time leaseweb dedi on their website last year that works out to a little under 1.1EUR/TB each month for a beefy dual CPU, 96TB monster that I use at work. I am quite certain the pricing was probably a typo that they were kind enough to honor.
Regardless, it probably is one of those things one would have to pry out of my cold dead hands!
huh ... will do my best.
@lentro Checked out WebNX/GorillaServers yet? They have some pretty beefy storage servers, and of course Hetzner.
I'm curious to see what your end of day profit/loss is on this. Able to share?
are you able to share this ?
I have missed the feast, all the code is invalid. I regret that
Agreed, price good but cpu extremely slow. I can't get 100 Mbit/s by wget or rsync, only ~70-80 Mbit/s. Can't said that i'm satisfy
I sincerely pray for you to launch an offer of 15 dollars a year. please.
256GB plan with coupon was $12.80 yearly or $3.30 quarterly.
Alright, so I just got my 4G KVM with 500GB SSD in Norway provisioned.
Ran a few benchmarks, and the network surprisingly is quite decent, thanks to @terrahost. Having said that, the CPU is extremely weak and even lacks the AES flag.
@cociu
Can these VPS configure LAN IP for free?
Really thanks. I wanted buy too but afraid that CPU will be slow.
Why is it show the same results of CPU for Single Core and Multi Core bench.
Its using emulated KVM CPU. Is that normal? I thought they'd be using "host" CPU.
You can request to enable AES-NI by ticket.
Just realised one of my kvm box reports the same thing, interested on the reason using CPU emulation as well...
My point is why are they not using "host" cpu type? That is the fastest CPU supported by KVM. Only reason one might not want to use host is to support live migration. Which most provider won't care.
