Looking for 1Gbps unmetered server
Specs I'm looking for:
- Intel Xeon CPU.
- 16GB memory.
- minimum 2x HD (Raid 1).
- 1Gbps unmetered.
- Failover IP.
- DDoS protection (layer 3/4 and layer 7).
price range: $100 - $250
Any providers you guys know about which can be interesting? I'm looking for anything other than the obvious big guys (OVH, Online, Leaseweb, etc).
Comments
Any particular location?
Prepare for a bunch of people to say it's not possible for unmetered at this price. But you should be able to find something, though it'll probably have a shared 1 Gbps port.
Because it's not possible to have it dedicated at this price, it's below the wholesale rate of most upstreams, and not even enough for a server + single homed he.net without profit.
Understood. Though plenty of providers still offer it in OP's price range.
Whether the port is dedicated (unlikely), network quality is good (probably congested, so unlikely), and provider is reliable is a different conversation.
Yep, I agree. it's still worth making it clear to the OP in case he or she is looking to actually use this bandwidth much.
@snapwhale it might be worth putting a magic bandwidth number on it i.e. a number you know you will never hit like 50TB, 100TB, 250TB etc etc
we so so many of these that end in the poster saying, oh actually 10TB would be fine which is far from 1gbit unmetered.
For some clients handling peaks are required. Which can produce 200TB - 300TB a month. As a 1Gbps port produces around 330TB max a month, unmetered seems reasonable. Want to prevent extra cost for bandwidth when peaks in traffic need to be handled. It's small/normal data payloads, so no VOD streaming or anything that needs premium peering. Just solid peering.
No real preference on location. Western-Europe and US would be the two regions top of the list.
@snapwhale I have PMed you.
Dedicated 1Gbps isn't going to fly for you. A shared port (overbooked) might work.
I'm didn't say anything about a full-blown dedicated port. I'm ok with shared.
Some WHT Offers:
There's also nforce in the Netherlands.
Of course do your research and read some reviews before purchasing.
@MasonR Thanks, appreciate the input!
Edit: Well i didn't see the ddos protection part just ignore what i said then!

You expect to peak monthly usage at virtually 1Gb/s continued usage, so you require a dedicated port.
Tagging @cociu
Edit: sorry, didn't see you require anti-ddos.
Have you looked at WorldStream?

only shared port for the budget (((
One of the few posts I've seen with a realistic budget
? You mean with a range of $100-$250????>
Versus $30 or less/mo
You can get this server from many providers starts at $30/Mo
Yes, easily. At combozo you also get a free yacht with your purchase.
We are paying for a single server at least $200/ Mo
How much are you billing for it?
You could probably get a custom quote from @hetzner_ol if they do such things.
For all servers we pay at least $1k /Mo.
So.. 5 rentals? Sheeit, bro- time to put down the money on that E Class Merc!
This is only for our few servers we have but one of them has a 256GB Ram with e5 processor, We have at least 2 or 3 requests every 3 days for renting dedicated servers, In this case we are dealing with the DC we've servers with them.
This is neat. Like @ServerHand in reverse.
Ok!
