Dedicated Core VPSes

edited February 2016 in Requests

Does anyone know any other providers that offer a Dedicated CPU and a GB a RAM less than $3 a month in the U.S.? When I mean dedicated core, I mean that the provider will either allow or throttle usage of the CPU when it gets high. The only one I know is Time4VPS, but it's located in Lithuania.

If you have any dedicated server offers that are less than $3/core and $3/GB of RAM, please post them here also.

  • No one is going to give you a dedicated core for $3 per month the electricity alone to power said core would cost more than that... I think you need to revise your budget or scrap your project and go back to the drawing board

    Do you mean in the U.S.? If not, Time4VPS seems to be doing so.

    Time4VPS do NOT provide a dedicated core

    We Do 1 dedicated core with 2.5GB for 7$ on either AMD or L56XX depend on what is available

    but it is usually harder for the provider to give 1:1 ratio for cores:ram as in this case the power and space will go almost not utilized

    check our SSD offers here

    Then how come they claim this on their offer page:

    "Less than €2 per core or GB memory"

  • Do you really expect dedicated cores? The only thing you can expect on these overpriced virtual servers is not to get thrown off after 60 minutes. Buy a cheap dedi instead.

  • If you want dedicated cores just get a dedicated server.

    Traffic said: they are dedicated. See the comments here:

    We allow to use ordered CPU resources 100%. But we will definitely not allow to abuse it by constant hammering with services like crypto currency mining, video transcoding or any other service who requires fully dedicated environment.

    If its a DEDICATED (critical word) then it wouldn't matter if the user was hammering the CPU, because its 'their' CPU to abuse.

  • @GM2015 I don't care about the cores being truly dedicated; I mainly care about the provider not throwing off the client for a CPU usage of around 50%-100%.

  • @standardlook said:

    Than just get a OVH.

  • Common sense should also prevail:

    E5-2630 v3 has 6 cores, two CPU per system - 12 cores.

    Lets do the usual bending of reality and say 12 cores == 24 cores because we'll call a thread a core.

    You'll have to allocated minimum of 1 'core' for the system, so you have 23 'cores' to sell. So best case they will earn €45.77/month if everyone pays monthly.

    I think its 'dedicated' like 'unlimited', maybe the wording should be 1 assigned CPU or 1 available CPU.

    Well depends what you are doing, see the quote above:

    we will definitely not allow to abuse it by constant hammering

    time4vps define dedicated core as
    "able to use up to the number of cores assigned without throttling."

    People like me usually define dedicated core as 100% usage 24/7 of the assigned core.

    If your looking for a dedicated core which can be abuse to your hearts content maybe your budget is abit low.

    Thanked by 1MarkTurner
  • From my experience, time4vps will throttle the CPU down to 50% cpu frequency if you sustain max cpu use. This is done in steps of 10% every hour.

    Not very dedicated then ;)

    Yes, I'm looking for something with this system. I have rephrased my question.

  • Keep in mind that even if you get a dedicated CPU core (thread), the memory bandwidth of the CPU is still shared. So one user with specially designed workload can negatively influence the performance of all other cores / users.

    How is:

    Dual E5420 (8c/8t @ 2.5GHz)
    16GB Ram
    2x500GB HDD or 1TB HDD or 120GB SSD
    10TB @ GigE
    1 IPv4
    Loc: Atlanta

    $30/month (slightly over your price), $60/quarter ($20m, under $3/core), $200/yr ($16.67/m, well under $3/core)

    We have customers who purchase these in blocks of 5+ machines to just crunch data/crawl the web/etc. Dedicated resources you can throw at something and scale horizontally.

    Do you have SSDs smaller than 120GB that you could offer 2 of included in the price?

  • @Traffic said:

    We don't, no. Just 120GB & 250GB 850 EVOs for the E5420 lineup.

    Smaller servers would be preferred, but I'll definitely consider that.

  • VULTR provides dedicated cores for their "vps" though starting from $5.

    Actually even if you get a dedi core vps you probably cannot get its complete performance(better than shared-core ones of course) all the time. Strict IDC may think you were abuse the machine.

    If you want to use all resources you've purchase at any time,I recommend you a CLOUD (Computing Instance) like GCE,Vultr,IDCF(jp),etc.

    Or get a cheap dedi server.

  • As @MarkTurner pointed out, some quick maths shows that it's unlikely for a provider to offer dedicated cores at the price-point you're expecting.

    Generally, for dedicated cores, @drserver's Abusive Cores offerings jump to mind but I guess your budget is too low for those.

    I've used Servarica ( @Hani ) in the past and they've been great!
    If they meet your requirements, then give them a try.

    Alternatively, your best bet is going for a dedicated server and the cheapest I've seen are often the Atoms sold by Delimiter ( @MarkTurner / @mikeyur)

    I cannot comment on Vultr or similar providers but I'm guessing they have their own CPU usage policies that need to be adhered to.

    No longer being offered anymore.

    Does drserver still exist? the site is full of errors, most of the products are out of stock and the rest just seem to link to a whmcs that is offline.

  • @theroyalstudent said:

    That's unfortunate.
    For USA, I guess the next cheapest would be those $10 dedis from places like Wholesale Internet, @AaronW.

    @drserver's last active date on LET was '7 Feb 2016'.
    So, I would guess that everything is still running fine.
    Looking at this, there's only 3 products that are sold out.
    Clicking on the order/buy links takes me through to a (functional?) billing module.

  • BeardyUnixGuy said: That's unfortunate. For USA, I guess the next cheapest would be those $10 dedis from places like Wholesale Internet.

    There are a few alternatives, but the Atom servers cause a tremendous support load because they lack dedicated a KVM which all our other systems have by default.

    What are you going to do with them now they're legacy products?
