dual core cpu
2-4GB of RAM
500-1TB single HDD
100mbps port
1-5TB of BW, depending on the location
Pretty much this is the things you can get for that price
@liquidhost: Please sign up with us.
For $50, i'd expect the same as Liquidhost, but with at least 8gb of ram, 1tb of disk, and 5 to 10tb of transfer. Servers are so cheap/resource-heavy nowadays, it's hard to charge people a lot of money for few resources and maintain a straight face about it.
Would you guys expect this hardware to be brand new or used?
@Damian
If you offer me the server you wrote down for 50$..count me in as a long term customer xD
Does not need to be new, I would just expect that it is both adequate, and reliable.
Would you expect it to come with an IPMI as well?
I'd expect a dual core Intel Atom with 2GB of RAM, 2 HDDs, a /29 of IPv4, and an excellent network with free reboots. Anything else is icing on the cake. For an idea, check out Interserver.net, best dedicated provider I've ever used and the support was the best I've ever encountered among any service.
@kujoe fdcservers ain't that bad!
i3-2100
16GB RAM
500GB HDD
1TB @ 1gbps
Well, that's what I have for $49, so that's what I'd expect.
However, since I got a deal for my dedi and thus it's not the typical config you'd get for $50, this is what I'd expect from any other provider...
Dual core Intel CPU, or quad core AMD CPU
4-8GB RAM
Small HDD or tiny SSD
At least 1TB @ 100mbps.
Service-wise, I'd expect unmanaged service, with KVM access if I was lucky.
@JTR where from?
16GB RAM
500GB HDD
1TB @ 1gbps
Who is that from?
You can get the following dedi from VolumeDrive for $49.95:
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 620 (4 cores)
RAM: 4 GB DDR2 Memory
HD: 250 GB Hard Drive
BW: 100 Mbps / 8,000 GB
You can always check datashack or (like what @serverbear said) VolumeDrive.
Or buy it from @Damian or @LiquidHost or @William
I have a Dual L5420, 24G Ram, 5 IPs, 2x1TB Harddrive, 10TB @ 100M with Dedidirect for $35/mo.
Though I paid a lot in setup fee for this server.
If you count 3Yr ROI then it just ends up about to hit $50.
After 3 years that server would be outdated imho.
Counting from now, yes. But some providers have been using this platforms since looooong time ago...
Yep, in 3 years that will become the standard for a low end VPS
funny thing is, I already have a dedicated server like that lol
Thanks for all your feedback guys and you can be rest assured it will be put to great use.
We don't sell dedicated servers. We're willing to do high-resource containers, but no dedicated servers at this time.
Ignore what @Damian is saying, he's high off of lemonade and air.
@Damian sells dedicated servers. Or else... Or else what? Exactly.
:P
Ask @jshinkle for dedicated servers.
Do you sell poptarts?
You can expect your "dual core intel Atom", 250GB HDDs and 1TB of transfers all you want, but for around $50 I see no reason to settle for worse than
16 GB DDR3 RAM
2 x 3 TB SATA 6 Gb/s HDD 7200 rpm (Software-RAID 1)
Unlimited traffic
https://www.hetzner.de/page_us.htm
42 Euros = 51.59700 U.S. dollars
Here's what I would expect for ~50
2cores with HT or 4 cores
4-16GB of ram - really, ram is cheap and barely a expensive for some dedicated providers, a lot just use it to bring in more income monthly.
Mid-Range Hard Drive or Entry Level Solid state drive.
1 IPv4, /64 IPv6 - Any providers can virtually do that on the cheap.
5Mbps at 100Mbps Brustable is pretty decent.
That's what I would expect
o_O!?
http://yesuphost.com. They used to offer that config (with 8GB of RAM) for $49/mo, I chatted with sales prior to purchasing and was offered a free 16GB RAM upgrade. About two months later, the sale ended, but I kept my hardware and price (forever, or at least until I cancel the server). So that pricing isn't exactly attainable anymore, but I got a sweet deal locked in.
Well, lemme compare that to my dedi.
i7-2600 vs i3-2100 — Hetzner wins
16GB RAM vs 16GB RAM — Tie
2x3TB HDD vs 1x 500GB HDD — Hetzner wins
10TB @ 100mbps vs 1TB @ 1gbps — I win (my bandwidth needs, even when I am frequently attacked, have not surpassed 1TB yet — however, if you need to push a lot of data, hetzner might be a better choice for you)
~$50 setup vs free setup — I win
Slow support vs 5-15 minute support responses — I win (although only because yesup is a small operation)
Hetzner wins on IPv6, although I come out ahead on KVM (afaik Hetzner has a 2hr per day limit for free KVM, yesup has no limit).
There are a few perks that come with a small company. I get unlimited KVM access, fast support responses, an email if I get DDoS'd (no, seriously, I've gotten multiple emails from techs that my server was being flooded — I'm extremely surprised at that), and even an email once when my dedi had crashed. And yesup's control panel is pretty excellent, the only thing I wish they'd change is enabling their "iKVM" feature, which was supposed to happen in June.
So it depends on what you need. Personally, I prefer having something located in Canada, which gives me ~45ms pings from my home cable instead of ~160ms pings to Hetzner's servers. I also prefer a host that takes Paypal.
Guess it depends on location (i.e. US vs EU), Hetzner has some insane benchmarks from the submissions I've seen.
But Hetzner has setup fee
A damn good time.
