Sounds good, would stacking be allowed?
Yeh I think we could do something for sure.
For such a large amount of disk space, I would prefer 256mb of RAM rather than 128mb. Considering the price too.
Thanks @Ishaq, I have capacity to cover that also so good to know.
Depends on the purpose. If it's "backup only" then that's more than enough. If it's "you can use it for anything you want" then more RAM would be desirable.
Some people would prefer an unlimited bandwidth (limited to 10mbps or whatever) plan. I look at 250G/750G and start doing rsync change rate math in my head :-)
BuyVM used to do 10mbps metered but switched to a fixed allocation.
I am targeting this purely at the storage / backup market to be honest, hence the original low memory.
In that case I don't see the problem with low RAM - it will also discourage people from doing other "bad" things.
the port speed limits stink. always have.
128MB of RAM. Probably going to have folks with issues using rsync if they have lots of files. Out of RAM issues.
3-1 bandwidth to storage ratio is fine.
KVM = good.
Price is in euros... so for US dollar top side $13 a month. Gets into territory where OVH dedicated is (I think). Not in the market myself.
250GB offer = $10 USD topside lately, on here at least.
Thanks @pubcrawler, I was hoping to aim just above the LEB marketplace anyways, otherwise its financially very hard to make the numbers work.
I believe this is a wise decision to avoid some unethical usage. Currently I use storage VPS* with just 64MB RAM(100GB Disk Space) and I would say that its more than enough
*rsync over ssh
Thanks for the feedback @bigcat
I'll note @nikc, the pricing I said was for actually usable VPS.
Look at what BuyVM offers --- KVM + 250GB + bunch of bandwidth + gigabit + kitchen sink at $7. It is a full use VPS, not a neutered storage only VPS.
64MB of RAM with something like this? Problematic. Going to get more tickets and issues.
With IP pricing and general hw cost in EU being much more, $10 for the above is actually pretty reasonable
True @Patrick. IP is what per month over there with provider gouging now? $1 per IP per month?
Other outfit to check out that is in Europa is Prometeus. Know they had storage offers in the past. Believe they were affordable too. Memory slip about if IPV6 only though....
Most charge anything from 1EUR - 2.5EUR IP I have seen, so about $1.30 - 3.00
@Patrick Ouch, Data center level or provider level?
Provider level, those who colo at DCs like Dataplace / EUNetworks then rent out but also at DC level as well such as Redstation (UK) etc.
You will find odd few who will sell IPs at 0.75eur or so such as Provider Service / Snel (If you have over a certain amount)
$1.30 - $3 per IP... Good luck... Bottom side just tolerable... $3, that's insane...
WIll hurt the euro hosting market for sure.
Yup, take a look at Redstation (UK) for example who are quite big in the UK with there own DCs. They charge £128/mo+VAT for 65 IPs which is about $2.9/per ip.
Thanks for the feedback @Patrick.
I was going to look at providing an IPV6 only option ...
@Patrick Thank goodness this hasn't hit the U.S. as much yet.
Can't wait till I have to deal with that /sarcasm
