    Can you do 2 disks in either of these? SW RAID is fine...

  • @tehdan - yes NP

    All the ultra low cost deals are Atlanta only.

    To bad, I had a vm from a friend that bought a dedi from you in Atlanta and can't sat that I had the best experience with latency from home/work to your Atlanta location.
    Would probably bought one otherwise.
    To be clear, I don't think there are any problems with your network, the latency issues lies somewhere in the ocean. :)

  • @Mikho - when was this? Can you PM me your IP

    summer/fall last year. sent you an IP in PM

  • @mikho - 103ms to that IP

    I know, thats what puzzles me. Ping is good and was back then but the Windows RDP I had was barely usable. The screen updates would freeze for a second or two while the server was still working. Annoying at best, pissing me off most of the time.

  • @mikho - that sounds like a crappy VPS to me. Someone stuffed too many VPS on too smaller system! Connectivity into the network you are connected to is good and we have many customers on the same network.

    the server was for private use and I rented some space on it. Don't think it ever had more then 2-4 Virtual servers on it at any time.
    ESXi was the virt platform.

    If you let me test one for free and it's better this time I will gladly pay for it. :)

  • @mikho - I am pretty sure it wasn't network, it sounds like just overloaded server.

    I'm not sure what it was but I do take the owners word for it when he said it wasn't overloaded. For what I heard from the owner the connectivity was good from within the States so not complaining at all.

    I am tempted but I'm not willing to "risk" $20 at this moment, I have bills to be paid. :)

    I am sure you can offload it easily if you don't want it.

    @mikho

    want to play with my delimiter? its the $20/mo that's sitting around doing nothing... i think it still has a mc server running that family used for about 2 days before quitting.

  • @Jonchun - what was wrong with the server?

  • IshaqIshaq Member

    Nothing. They quit playing the game.

    I ordered just after @MarkTurner posted this offer and it's still pending. And I'm already a client of them... you where lucky I guess.

    I have a big project starting on friday that ends friday week after. If you still have the server in two weeks time and I can reinstall the server then I thankfully accept the offer.

    Oh, so the servers are just that little squares and nothing else? Wow.

    And electricity it's free.

    And network it's free.

    And IPs are free.

    I didn't know about that

    Seriously, stop with your comments..

    shut up. they are scrap simple as, you are the type of fool who buys this scrap. and the other things you suggested are quite cheap. but power costs is also connected with the scrap kit (some of it uses a lot of power*)

  • xsetxset Member

    @markturner are you overhelmed by the number of orders or can you still deliver during the same day?

  • @xset - There are no more units left.

  • So the cheapest server which can enable HW RAID by adding a HDD is the Dual 5150?

  • ReeRee Member

    Deals like that make me feel stupid for paying $100 up front for the 5150->5420 upgrade...

    Take it easy if you need RAID... These special servers have no RAID support.

    But you got a 16GB system with a RAID controller; this is a 8GB system without.

    I am not sure what deal you are on but if you are on an annual then you are paying $25/month ($200+$100). This system is $20 + $10 RAM + No HW RAID available = $30. Still $60/year cheaper even if you didn't need hardware RAID.
