  • Well, I am a Nexus Bytes customer/family member and have experienced nothing short of awesomeness. Stable servers, friendly support when called upon and a decent price.

    Ya'll haters need to smoke some Jesus or find weed ASAP.

    @bbplayer @Alexvuk

    Cut the sh_t already!

    I have extensively benchmarked both NexusBytes / @seriesn and Contabo / @contabo_m and both are good providers and sell good quality VPSs at a good price.

    Contabo runs multiple of their own DC's, has millions upon millions of $ in their back and is older, but also has a, let's say uncommon, panel, and is a bit more bureaucratic. I personally like both of them but prefer NexusBytes.
    And neither of them need to lie. If seriesn says that your behavior wasn't OK then it wasn't OK, period.

    Good luck finding a provider who accepts your fraud attempts.

    Does my neighbor give a fraud attempt?
    Is it so hard to admit that there is prejudice for what NexusBytes have done to the neighbor?

    I don't care what you say. I've seen what @seriesn wrote and I have solid reason to trust him, unlike you.

    Not a Nexusbytes customer but have you actually used a Contabo VPS? The only thing going for them is support, otherwise their nodes are slow, disk speeds are highly limited, and their VPS generally appear to be fucked in ways that I can't figure out. I've had issues where commands like "ssh-keygen" were stuck for minutes because the SSH keygen couldn't collect enough entropy or something.

    Are you kidding me right now bro ?
    Where i can find a vps with with specs please tell me i will order right now , and yes i have some vps with Contabo and they are pretty great for the products they have in comparision with their pricing.

    6 vCPU Cores

    1.4 TB HDD

    There is no Rival here my friend , and they have their own DC they not reselling or colocation like many others do here and talk only sh*** best vps , this is bob , this is micheal jackson dude we need good services and cheap price this is the reason why this forum exist right ? not bullshits.

    Please go on and waltz off to a different provider then, this is obviously not your type of provider.

    Why is reselling frowned upon?

    Look, everyone has to start from somewhere from bottom, and not everyone has PMSillions in their bank account when starting up.

    Resellers are considered to be a bottom feeders and in general hated by the population no matter what niche. Unknown origins of this hatred, but it exist.

    The misstake here was to compare nexus to contabo. Contabo is way way cheaper due to scale and oakley. You can choose nexus if you like their style, but in reality contabo is the sane choice for best price/spec ratio. And true let'ers looks only for that.

  • deankdeank Member, Troll

    I know why they are frowned upon.

    My point is that a dude has to start from somewhere. If my memories are correct, the Mr. S is in early 20s. He's not gonna have the fund to start a DC at that age unless his parents are rich.

    @Alexvuk Thank you for your concerns and comments :). Unfortunately as a small business, we don't have millions of dollar to burn for years and our end goal isn't to get bought out by some big shark. This is my baby and this business is being built to be around for long enough so I can eventually leave the city life and move to a place, where it is nice and quiet and won't need to leave the house every day.

    We all have our different business models and we all do things in our own unique way. I understand that, the pricing that we are offering, might not be what you are after. Yet you have taken the time, to review our offer thread :). Thank you for that :)

    I am happy to hear that contabo and the team is doing awesome and serving you right :). Good stuff. Hopefully one day, with your and all other community members love and if gods willing, we will own our own DC . You are very welcome to support a small business and a small business owners dream, by ordering services through us, so one day, you can post the complete opposite in this same very forum about us <3.

  • There is few good providers on LET, really. They provide good communication, good support, are always friendly ... And yeah, prices are differents, but ToS and service quality also. Depending of what you are looking for, you may choose on or another one.

    While i really trust BuyVM for my prod stuffs that requires high availability, i also consider NexusBytes as one i can trust for that. Also seriesn as always been really nice and fast with my support tickets even when issue was on my side (remember Cloudflare and DirectAdmin issue i had ahah, you know when you are not used to web shared hosting :D). The time a provider like NexusBytes can spend on your ticket you opened because of your own issue is usually really expensive (consider 40 to 120$/h). And this is why i can accept NexusBytes pricing (or BuyVM or whoever), because i know this price also includes support. Most of the time i don't need support, i'm usually a "silent user", and yeah there is a lot of users who pays near premium prices for good support and quality service even if they don't need support, this is also how to participate to keep good services provided.

    In any case, you own the choice, YOUR choice. Choose contabo, NexusBytes, viridweb or whoever you would like. The only bad choice is when you force yourself to be a customer of a provider you don't want. The smart choice is to choose your provider, we have ton of choices here on LET :).

  • @seriesn its just my right to judge prices but it is the opposite. I have always supported small businesses and i will because everyone rasied from small to big , but my concern is that.
    BUT , you do not accept criticism do not make concessions ,If someone speaks badly about your product in this forum is being excluded(banned) from the forum, you are becoming arrogant with people you are becoming prejudiced.
    Kind words do not lead you to success(this is all about marketing you talk) but true work and communication with the client.
    When you have agreed to start this business you should have imagined that not all people are the same and you should have the ability to manage all those people with understanding, some times you can lose money but you can gain credibility. and reliability bring that customer back to you sooner or later.
    I am the kind of client that if you gain your trust I am able to migrate all my servers to that company , i own more then 100servers and everyday i buy 3-5 new servers.
    And in the end I did not intend to offend you just by entering the topic because the price of your product was very high with the conditions you offer so I apologize if you are worried, but it was my right to comment on the prices, I hope that one day I will be your client and use your services.

    All the best

    You see sir, that's where we have a conflict. I listen to criticism and suggestions and act upon that, as long as it adds value and it logically makes sense. Our business model has changed over the years and we have experimented with different pricing tiers and specifications in the form of multiple promos, before deciding where we draw the fine lin.

    Your only "suggestion" so far has been, you want us to lower our price and chase bottom of the barrel, while giving the world away. We can do that, definitely. But we can only do that, if our long term goal is to run away with your money.

    There are awesome companies such as contabo, who does a fantastic job at offering impossible deals at an impossible price point and they are respected for such. There are also companies such as AWS, Linode and many others, where you would pay 20 folds more than what we charge to receive similar service and product.

    We really don't want to be the host, that you switch over to, just to save a dollar. Our business model has never been "let's be the cheapest".

    Please do not confuse my memes with arrogance. I like to meme, memes are fun and not boring. We are just a small fish in this ocean and nothing comparing to the legends that rules LE world such as BuyVM, DigitalOcean, RamNode and more.

    When you have agreed to start this business you should have imagined that not all people are the same and you should have the ability to manage all those people with understanding, some times you can lose money but you can gain credibility. and reliability bring that customer back to you sooner or later.

    There's one small problem with that ideology. No one opens a business to lose money, unless their goal is to pump and dump or get bought out by VC groups. We invest a lot of money into increasing our capacity, infrastructure, marketing, staffing and much more. 100% of these initial investments came out of my pocket. No handout, no loans but my personal, hard earned money and I bled the first 2 years.

    That was the initial investment. After being around for close to 5 years, I will be damned if I have to fund the business with my own money. That's called charity.

    You as a consumer, have the right to spend your money, where you get the best value. But walking into a local grocery store in New York and complaining why they are charging more for a dozens of eggs, compared to the Tesco in Bromley does no good.

    So, just do whatever the PMS you want.

    Side note: AFAIK NexusBytes is not a reseller.
    Now one of course can draw the line differently, one can for instance call everyone 'reseller' who doesn't own their DCs. The usual definition though is that a reseller just, duh, resells some companies products - and that is not what NexusBytes does. From what I've understood @seriesn owns (at least a significant part of) their servers and manage those themselves.

    But, at least in my books, even renting dedis and using them as nodes is not per se shameful; in fact it's a reasonable thing to do in some situations like e.g. when opening a new location.

    As for the comparison with Contabo / @contabo_m that's just ridiculous. One is a small to mid size provider, the other one is a major provider who even owns DCs. Except for both offering good products for a good price they are totally different operations. Contabo is running a massive operations which necessarily means big numbers - everywhere; you can't run such an operation and have all your support staff know each and every customer and his quirks and preferences well.

    NexusBytes on the other hand has "personal service" in its DNA - and they can do that, while a much larger provider needs to bet on good training and some amount of formalism. Both ways have their advantages and the decisive factor probably is the customer him/herself. Some prefer a "typical german" approach with a large provider and others prefer the more flexible and personal way.

    But both providers are among the best in their segment and both offer a really good bang for the buck ratio.
    And btw, neither of them will be angry about a customer preferring the other one.

  • @jsg said: But, at least in my books, even renting dedis and using them as nodes is not per se shameful; in fact it's a reasonable thing to do in some situations like e.g. when opening a new location.

    Also i've often thinked this kind of company is the best to get a deeper support. I mean, there is a ton of OVH "resselers" in Europe and some of them does a good job in support where OVH just can't handle it properly. The end of your answer exactly point this and i totally agree.

    I'm happy to learn that contabo is not bad at all, i was unsure before. I may consider it in the future then :).

    Aren't most providers renting dedicated servers and selling VPS out of it?
    If I can trust the provider to have the funds for paying one year of hardware rental, I see no problem of buying an annual VPS.

    I'm spoiled by $8.40 ~ €10 /year 1GB specials, so that EntryBytes is priced higher than what I already have.
    However, if I need a new server someday, EntryBytes pricing is still within reasonable range.

    Contabo … I hear they have massive CPU steal and weird cancellation procedure?

  • In the offer you advertise “Monthly Transfer 1000 GB” but on the order page I see “ Bandwidth: 250 GB (300 GB with Annual Payment) ” could you explain this discrepancy?

    @yoursunny said:

    If they had I should have noticed it while running hundreds of benchmark rounds.

    Let's look at it from another angle: a 3 (hardware) cores, 24 GB (iirc) memory + relatively large NVMe VDS costs €36 (+VAT if applicable). Dividing that by 6 (the number of hardware threads) gives 1 HWT with 4 GB memory for €6. Now subtract the (relatively high) NVMe cost and add the (relatively low) SSD and double memory cost and you end up at about €5 per VPS. Now, even assuming that 1 HWT is not 1 VPS but 2 (on an Epyc no less) they'd make 80+% profit (on top of the VDS calculation).

    My personal guess is that they run about 48 VPSs (probably 45) on a 16 core/32 HWT Epyc node. I don't see a basis for a high steal there unless, of course, people continually use 100% of their vCPU which however is something that leads to problems with every VPS provider.

    While my benchmark is VPS optimized (pauses between cycles) it is quite brutal yet the spread of the Contabo VPSs stays within a quite reasonable range.

    If confronted with (a) users complaining about high steal, and (b) objective data I'll always prefer to trust the data. Keep in mind that one of my major motivations to design and implement my benchmark software was exactly that: to find the truth and to see the reality behind nice marketing blabla.

    TL;DR Contabo VPSs are among the top 3 of all systems I tested.
