Whats the ideal vps plan and price for you?

I would love to hear what people want most. I think creating a VPS plan for yourself is the best idea. Now be realistic about this and not 10000TB of hdd space or anything.

Here's my Ideal Plan:

Ram: 1GB ( a small minecraft server / file backup )
vSwap: 512MB
Bandwidth: 200GB-1TB ( might need more than 200GB if I backup and use minecraft daily)
Location: Near Michigan (not because I provide services there but because I live there lol)
IPv4's: 2
HDD Space: 50GB ( backups of my data, perhaps use this like dropbox )
Price: About $7/m

Whats your ideal plan?

    Is it possible? :D

  • @NanoG6: I'd say so. After quickpacket, hostpolar, BGSA, vps6, and alienlayer, I'm definately not paying any more than quarterly for my containers.

    Well it depends, if the provider is you, @prometeus, @KuJoe, or any other well-known provider here in LET, I don't mind to pay yearly ;)

    I could do OpenVZ easily on that lol. If I ever see a Xen provider doing that
    little muscle in my brain says "don't make that server sitting next to you xen (although I totally could)"
    lol Picture of server sitting next to me ( don't mind the fact theirs no HDD's, they are in the mail ):

    Edit: also don't mind the loose cable, just plugged it in *HDD light
    .

    Although if you can add another $10/m to that:
    http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/inception-hosting-xen-pv-from-32year-in-phoenix-netherlands/
    Still PV though.

  • Yeah right :D
    And by the way why it seems like XEN HVM is more expensive than KVM? :-/

  • @nanoG6
    I have no idea, I would think KVM would be worth more lol

  • flyfly Member

    there's some problems with kvm.... like disk io

  • I wouldn't say KVM has disk I/O issues.

    16384+0 records in
    16384+0 records out
    1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 7.21968 s, 149 MB/s
    
  • flyfly Member

    probably cuz you're using virtio?

  • More than likely, Yes.

  • @kbar said: there's some problems with kvm.... like disk io

    Kiloserve KVM (Virtio with CentOS 6):

    dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=16k count=768k conv=fdatasync;rm -f test

  • @ErrantWeb said: I have no idea, I would think KVM would be worth more lol

    I haven't try HVM so I can't compare it myself.
    I have this Linux VPS with s390 platform from IBM, how do I know what virtualization they are using?

    My ideal ones would be something like:

    KVM or maybe Xen
    10GB HDD space
    512mb ram
    1,5-2tb bandwidth

    for $7 . I know this is ridiculous but if i see that kind of offer i know i won't pass it. I'm sure everyone would say the same.

    OpenVZ
    50GB
    1gb ram-2GB RAM
    100Gb bandwidth

    $7.

    Actually the chicagovps 2gb ram offer was amazing. I;m not sure how they did it but its pretty much the mother of all offer for this year.

  • flyfly Member

    as i said, virtio

  • 1gb disk
    16mb ram
    3gb bw
    $0.75 month

  • VPNshVPNsh Member, Host Rep

    OpenVZ
    1024mb ram
    2048mb burst
    150gb hdd
    1tb bw

    Any price that's not insanely different from the total of my 2 current boxes (13USD/month).

    Any idea what my chances of finding a box like that are :P?

  • @liamwhithers there was chicagovps 2GB RAM for $7/month, but it was with "only" 50GB HDD.

  • Xen HVM
    758mb ram
    50gb hdd
    800gb bandwidth
    italy
    20€/month NOT oversold

  • VPNshVPNsh Member, Host Rep

    @rds100 Yeahh, I've already got the Chicago one :D.. would just love a slightly bigger HDD, and maybe a tad better dl/ul speed, but other than that it's great :D

  • @Damian said: I'd say so. After quickpacket, hostpolar, BGSA, vps6, and alienlayer, I'm definately not paying any more than quarterly for my containers.

    I hope you didn't have some problem with our service? Is there anything I should know about?

  • @Damian said: quickpacket

    What was wrong with quickpacket?

  • @vps6net: Ticket #666917. I was having some issues with lack of connectivity from our servers that I wasn't experiencing with VPS nodes. The fact that it was hosted, literally, halfway around the world may have something to do with it. That issue, combined with a change in the target market for the project that it was part of, meant that we didn't need to keep it.

    My statement here was more of a statement that in the future, I'm not going to pay for a longer term of service than quarterly til I determine if the service fits my needs. It was NOT to speak poorly of VPS6's service; I was considering VPS6 for Los Angeles connectivity, since it appears that Hostitek has died.

    Xen PV/HVM or KVM:

    Ram: 256mb
    Disk: 10gb
    Bandwidth: 200gb
    Located in West Coast, not routing through nlayer since it recently had some issues of connectivity with my ISP
    @about $5, can be doubled if it's with peer1

  • @dancom96 said: What was wrong with quickpacket?

    Node instability and connectivity issues. The node that I was on rebooted 6 to 10 times in the month that I used their service. I can't imagine that there's much reason for continual reboots on OpenVZ. I've figured out how to keep our own VPS nodes up, even with vswap, so it doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling when I'm on a host where there isn't the same level of attention.

    Regarding their connectivity issues, it was similar to my earlier post where I would notice timeouts where other monitored systems did not match timeouts.

    This was during a period where I was culling the less-viable nodes, and it was on the chopping block.

    I will say that they had some pretty awesome support; after I submitted my cancellation request, they opened a support ticket with me and we discussed the issues I had encountered and they seemed to have genuine concern.

    Before anyone else asks :)

    -Hostpolar: 6 days to replace an ethernet card in a server? Srsly? I live in a rural area, and even I can still source and install an ethernet card in a couple of hours.

    -BGSA: Overpriced, support was exceptionally rude.

    -Alienlayer: SLOW. Slow network, slow disk i/o. Ignored support ticket about it. I'm not doing anything exceptionally intense here, but still.

    Virt: KVM
    RAM: 64MB
    HDD: 2GB

    Location: Any country that isn't overpopulated with cheap VPS providers :)
    Price: $6/quarter
    Other requirements: Ability to run IRC servers/services MUST be allowed.

    @liam said: In a 'liberal/Democratic' country.

    Yep :P However, we never get exactly what we want. Here is my ideal plan:
    512 ram
    burst/vswap 128-512 (i dont use that, but if something gets out of hand I need a bit of space till I fix it)
    20+ GB
    CPU 1 2000-3000
    BW 3 TB+
    5 $ for the minimal version.
    Oh, and OpenVZ...
