https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3135105 It was supposedly to end on 28th september 2PM GMT, maybe they forgot to close the link/offer lol. Thanks for the post though, you are awesome.
Sorry, I did not see that thread. Oh well, it is still going.
Probably not selling well considering that config is from like 2004
The KS-7 is 1.5 EUR cheaper if you order it through the Canada website:

Right? Is it just me are or are these servers unbelievably slow?
That's what happens when 200 IOPS are all the IO available to you.
They are fantastic value for running jobs like video encodes, linux ISO cough delivery, secondary backups.
It's tempting until you realize even an overloaded vps server is still probably going to be faster.
The deals are ok if you can make use of them I guess
Agree with @vimalware 's comment. If one goes in with the right expectations of performance, it's a great value. One can thrash the single disk 24/7 or saturate the 100Mbit link and not feel bad since there are no adjacent customers to impact.
I have a KS-07 and I find it fast. It runs a site with 70.000 visitors per day, (double that number if you count legitimate bots) with a load bellow 1. However, I use my own CMS, which is certainly less heavy than Wordpress or things like that. For under 10€ , I find it fine. It's not critical, so if the HDD breaks one day (it was nearly new when I get it), this will not be a big deal to rebuild its content. (always make backup, even when you have RAID)
Sounds Interesting
worth with that cpu and disk space .. but im the only who hate setup fee
I've been running an i3 from ovh since they came to .CA.... running a website with 50k+ a day... solid.
