Low end server brainstorming

I'm just ordering the 2U twin supermicro to start playing with a budget dedicated Atom D525 offer

2U twin atom

each server will have 4GB of RAM and one 500GB hard disk. 100Mbps connectivity.

What would you pay for a server like this?

    Location? $30-50/month would be a decent price in my opinion.

  • £13.99 /month

    $25.00? maybe $30.00... that's just because the specs aren't something I'd generally use. It'd have to be a really good deal (like $25 - $30) for me to pick one up.

    Then again I like @Taylor's price :)

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    Italy :)

  • Then I might go up to $35.00 just because of the location.

  • @BlueVM Apart from more memory but less hard drive its hard to justify a big increase on ovh's kimisurf prices. Thats what my price is worked around the location is different so that may be a factor for some.

    Personally I would pay more if it had 2 hard drives. It would be more for testing/playing with just one.

    the twin allow up to 3 2.5 HDD per server so I think that can be an option...

  • @prometeus

    If I was going for a dedicated server I would like the options to have more then one hard drive like some others have said.

    taken note. Kimsufi is limited to 2G on the atom, right?

  • u4iau4ia Member

    As far as I know it is limited to 2gb.

  • u4iau4ia Member

    I would love to see a low end dedi like the Kimsufi or what you are describing in the US for a sub $30USD price tag.

  • The problem is that you can't even pay the hardware cost in a year, even ignoring all other costs and putting all the $30 towards the hardware cost. So it's not worth it, at $30/month.

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    How much bandwidth?

    I was thinking 29€/39$

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    the 8 server will cost us €3000 for 8 servers (4G ram, 1x 500GB HDD). It's €375 per server

    I think we will use the first 16-32 servers to introduce us in the online market, other than these I'm working on e3 and e5 servers wich I hope will target some providers...

    With what HDDs?

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    @rds100 said: With what HDDs?

    HDN-MK5076GSX HDD 2,5" SATA 500GB TOSHIBA

  • nocomnocom Member

    How much with 2hdd?

  • 3 years warranty? Sounds OK.

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    I think one more 500gb hdd can be an option for 5-6€/mo

  • Very good pricing on the additional HDD would be rude to say no.

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    @Taylor said: Very good pricing on the additional HDD would be rude to say no.

    So do you think it will be more aggressive if we offer servers with 4GB ram and 2x500GB hdd for 35€?

  • Just let people choose? with 1 HDD = 29EUR, second HDD = +6EUR

    That will be fine
    OPtions for bandwith if any?

  • VPNshVPNsh Member, Host Rep

    Just out of interest.. What sort of specification would be the very LOWEST that you'd offer? Seeing as I'm only really interested in low-end stuff, I also like to see things for as little money as possible.

    What would be lowest specification and price you'd consider going for?

    Cheers, and good luck if you go ahead with this!

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    Ideally it would be better to have choice, but if you think that once the twin is racked it will be totally manageable via ipmi I would prefere to have servers ready to be powered on and configured (and sold) without going to the DC only to insert a disk... I should double the stocks :)

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    @nocom said: OPtions for bandwith if any?

    10 (or 15) TB, what do you think?

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    @liamwithers said: What would be lowest specification and price you'd consider going for?

    I don't think we can go much more low than that at present. We try to offer decent services even on a budget and don't want to go too cheap/low for hardware...

    Let's see what happen in the next weeks :)

    This SuperMicro 2015TA-HTRF?
