Does anyone have a dedi with AvanteHosting?

Hi there,

We have had some bad VPS reviews from Avante recently, but you seriously can't compare some REALLY low end VPS with a dedi.
So he offered me this dedi: http://manage.avantehosting.net/index.php?/cart/&do=2
The specs look good:

  • 1Gbps netlink (shared or at least nor garanteed I guess?)
  • 5TB bandwidth (not much, might be able to get more if it actually is being used)
  • Xeon E3-1230
  • 32GB RAM
  • 2x 120GB SSD
  • /28 ipv4
    All that for $110, which is with a few dollars off the same price as OVH's 2013 SP 32G SSD.

Pros: (vs OVH)

  • It is however located in Dallas, which is better than OVH's Canada location (right? please tell me if not)
  • Some extra IPs can be handy

Cons: (vs OVH)

  • There is no uptime proof like pingdom available
  • Just 5TB, planning on Minecraft servers
  • $30 setup fee
  • NO native ipv6
  • What if somebody abuses the network, will my files be deleted without pardon?

Is it worth paying $30 one-time more for the same server in Dallas, Texas on 1Gbps with just 5TB bandwidth, no ipv6 and being under management of a 17 year old talented businessman? (Chris)

Thanks in advance.

PS:
Going to use it for Minecraft hosting

    Sounds like they lost a lot of MC customers and renting the servers off

  • Wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.

    Wonder who they are reselling?

    It's their own hardware. Following the recent issues, I'd be cautious with signing up with them.

    Did you need SSDs and 32gb of RAM?

    32gb ram under $110 with 128 IPs? which data center? hetzner? :)

  • DewlanceVPSDewlanceVPS Member, Patron Provider

    Lol, to place a order first you need to enter your detail, password,etc.. Crap

  • @DewlanceVPS said: 128 IPs?

    It's a /28, learn networking

  • Why would you buy a server that has almost 99.99% down time?

    I would rather go with HostBluff.

    We use only HostDime Premium servers.

    Lololololololololol

    Anyway, I just realised that server4you give TRUE 8 core (not Hyperthread, it's AMD though :( )
    Without SSD for $110, more value for the price

    Their eco servers or AMD athalon quad core for just $60! That beats OVH hard :)

    Going with server4you would be a bad move.

    Doesn't exactly show us you know anything about networking though does it?

  • Till the day you learn to read/stop being an idiot

    Actually thought everybody always just trolled you, but you actually do know nothing about hosting.

  • Thanked by (1) : Randy

    Will probably go with server4you, I want to host Minecraft and I remember them as no option because they don't allow more than like 4 IP's but for Minecraft hosting that is not a problem :)

  • @BronzeByte said: Will probably go with server4you, it was the first cheap dedi provider I knew of, and my budget was very low back then, hence why I remembered them as relative expensive host, but now a few years later now that I know a lot about hosting I call this cheap as hell

    What are you looking to use this service for? If you are planning to put customers it do not go with server4you

  • DewlanceVPSDewlanceVPS Member, Patron Provider

    Do you know what is computer? ;))))

    Their support in the US is not very good and the network leaves a lot to be desired. I know it may be hard to trust me on this, but as a very large Minecraft host I am passing on some friendly advice

    You also want the fastest cores you can get.

  • And E3 CPU will perform much better than those AMD ones when used for Minecraft.

  • @DewlanceVPS said: Do you know what is computer? ;))))

    What's the deal here? Can't you just stay on-topic?

  • @DewlanceVPS Why is everything ;))))

    @BronzeByte
