@andrewn Processor: 2 x Intel Xeon 5150; RAM: 8 GB DDR3; Hard Disk 1: 500 GB SATA II; Monthly Bandwidth: 20 TB; Dedicated IPv4 Address: 5 IPv4 (/29); just at $39/month with 24/7/365 support providing centers. https://www.temok.com/special-deals.htm Set up fee will be waived off and a discount voucher will be issued to you. let me know if you are interested.
@johnfinch: is that in dell chassis?
@MarkTuner: is it DELL?
@andrewn - No as specified its an HP blade. However most people are not to worried about the brand. Dell is just another way of saying cheap.
But now that you want 2 x 1TB for $20/month then you need to be looking at Online/OVH who you have said you don't want.
@MarkTuner: can you provide a DELL server with the same specifications?
@andrewn - We dont have any Dell equipment. HP has been a lot more reliable for us.
Why dell? The idrac is shit and the mainboard is 100% the same design as in a HP or IBM box anyway...
+1 for that you'll fine Dell useful on higher grade service like a cluster more than a small dedi where HP with its ILO is more useful.
Actually the Dells I have had the (mis)fortune to see used discontinued Tyan boards, every system had different brand/model hard disks. And lets not forget the IPMI vulnerabilities which still plague the DRAC.
Unfortunately under HP's new 'leadership' they have decided to launch a cheap and nasty version of their products with third party boards, third party cases which are equally useless.
@BharatB - Dell is cheap for a reason, they have almost no quality control, their products are badly designed, no supply chain continuity. I have a friend that works at a french hosting company that uses Dell, we often compare failure rates and I can tell you their failure rate is substantially higher than HP. Also from a post-lease perspective, HP's residual value is substantially higher.
Theres one reason people think dell rocks ( design outside ) I mean look at hp vs dell , in terms of casing dell looks like a army gear hp looks like ripped clothes but those who use it know the difference
HP is however also 10%+ more expensive. SuperMicro is often the cheapest option (IPMI sucks), followed by Dell (Drac sucks), followed by IBM (Whatever they have sucks also), followed by HP (ILO 4 is actually rather okish) (Based on their Dual E5 offers, in E3 the pricing is more or less the same)
@MarkTurner the bandwidth is 10T or 5T? thanks.
on your whmcs, it said 10T...
and, can we request /64 ipv6 subnet with this server?
so guys nobody offer Dell servers here? thats a shame:(
Why do you want a dell server? We have some dell hardware , however you would need to double your budget.
Lots do - just not for those prices
@AlexanderM whats the best you can do?
