VPS for mirrors, high BW - low resources

Hello,
do you know a VPS (or can offer) with a reasonable cheap yearly price that has a lot of BW.
I need to deliver custom Android ROMs (so 100% open source and legal) to users with direct download (with a landing page before that, hoping to cover costs with ads).

I wouldn't need any special hardware really, it will just run nginx+ 1 php server just to handle downloads, so even 64MB of RAM should be enough, even 1 CPU core shouldn't be a problem. What's the power needed to handle statics files downloads? I suppose close to 0? Consider that the downloads waves are just gonna happen at specific days of a week/month.

Can a very low hardware resources make it up for the high BW usage?

I think at least 2TB are needed.
Am I asking too much? I don't know if BW costs more than resources so this might be a stupid request :P

    You may want to check BuyVM Storage plan if $7/m is affordable for you.

    EDIT: for a low yearly price, you may want to check 2host $25/yr plan. Search on LEB. (but don't expect too much on net speed.)

    Trying to cover part of the costs, is this better put? :P

    I think 5GB of space is more than enough.

  • Backupsy has $7 - 500GB / 2TB

    BuyVM looks solid, the thing is those $7/m I suppose are for the RAM and the **huge ** storage, I was looking for something with a very low storage and very low RAM to lower the price

    EDIT: 2host looks exactly what I need, I wonder the speed :|

    $18 per year = 50GB Storage

  • BuyVM yearly may be what you want. Bandwidth overages are dirt cheap at somewhere around $2/TB. Get one in BUF and LAS and use Rage4 to ghetto-geodistribute.

  • We could do a 256mb KVM, 5GB storage, 2TB@1Gbps for $20/year (Dallas)

    What are the specs of the plan?

    Thanks, I'll consider this.

    @sandro
    256MB RAM

    50GB Disk

    30TB Bandwidth

  • sandrosandro Member

    30TB?? :|

    30TB means unmetered 100Mbit Port right? Price really impressed.

  • Awmusic12635Awmusic12635 Member, Host Rep

    @sandro yes

    @msg7086 yes

  • sandrosandro Member

    dedicated or shared?

  • Awmusic12635Awmusic12635 Member, Host Rep

    @sandro The bandwidth is shared with other clients, though the server is not on a 100 port. It is 2 x 1Gbit

    Example client usage from last month: http://cl.ly/image/1G2Q0z400O3I

  • sandrosandro Member

    Isn't possible to get a higher port with lower BW allowance?

  • Awmusic12635Awmusic12635 Member, Host Rep

    @sandro that should be possible. If you want to open a support ticket we can work something out with you.

  • +1 for Fliphost. I've been filling up my 500GB storage VM with them with no issues. Fast network, and stable node :)

  • Awmusic12635Awmusic12635 Member, Host Rep

    @rajprakash Thanks for the recommendation :)

  • @sandro, @Fliphost is great, network is always super fast. here is a speedtest from my vps with them in dallase to my cvps one in chicago.

    That's more than 100Mbit up :) Do you have a different plan than shared 100Mbit unmetered? I got around 30MB/s as well :D

    Actually @Fliphost I think I changed my mind, it would be better to have an unmetered plan so that every user can download but at "lower" speeds. I'll sign up soon :D

    Can't go wrong on Flippy!

    Slower download? People will take a different mirror. Just do fast downloads and when it runs out of bandwidth just leave it suspended until next month.

  • Awmusic12635Awmusic12635 Member, Host Rep

    @sandro Just let me know if you have any questions

    @erhwegesrgsr ;)

    I don't get what you mean, maybe you misunderstood. I was referring to @PcJamesy that posted a test file that got him and me a faster upload than 100mbit so I asked if maybe he was on a plan with 1Gbps maybe.

    Or maybe I got it completely wrong? 30TB per month is not with unmetered port? You can actually achieve faster speed and being limited to 30TB/m ?

    Sorry for all those questions @Fliphost

  • Awmusic12635Awmusic12635 Member, Host Rep

    @sandro Gbit is a paid upgrade. Extra $2 per month. Still limited to 30TB

  • sandrosandro Member

    so IT'S NOT 100mbit unmereted, cause you answered yes to @msg7086's question

  • Awmusic12635Awmusic12635 Member, Host Rep

    @sandro 100mbit unmetered ends up being around 30TB so yes it is

  • @sandro said:

    I guess what he means is that you get unmetered if you choose to use 100m port, but you won't get more bandwidth (30TB ≈ 100m unmtrd) if you upgrade to G port, only faster burst speed.
