What would you expect for $50?

  • Something like this (which costs 55$/month when you opt in to pay 10€/month more instead of 150€ setup fee)

  • Something mildly better than DataShack's $35 deal. Preferably with IPMI/KVM/iLO/other three to four letter acronyms. Especially amazing would be 5-10TB on Gbit on Best Coast.

    You're right - Craigslist is that way!

    Server4you is poison.

  • @ztec lulz. I once played around with a S4Y box, felt like it was virtualised on a overloaded box...

    Just picked up my first Kimsufi... Not really happy with their custom kernels and distros... Any guides on restoring it?

  • $50 For a US location, hmm....

    Probably 3-4GB Ram
    250GB-500GB HDD
    1TB - 5TB Bandwidth
    Dual Core CPU
    100Mbps

    Performance on mine was 'reasonable' - it's when you hit support you're fucked. Or when support hits you with random bills that don't belong to you.

    Server4you is a f*cked up company.
    Server4you is BAD.
    Avoid Server4you!

    Please google, pick this up for me.

    For CentOS/Scientific Linux try this guide.

    For Debian / Ubuntu - Boot into Rescue mode, then partition & format hard disc, mount hdd and use debootstrap to install Debian minimal.

    They also install two authorized keys to log into your server as root. This is meant for remote support. But I don't like it. So I reinstalled it to stock OS.

    I remember I subscribed to their vserver plans on a monthly contract basis. They deducted 6 month worth of money from my Paypal account. When I asked them they told me that they follow that practice even for monthly contracts. In my opinion this is ridiculous. I didn't give it a second thought and cancelled my service immediately. In the end they refunded 5 months pre-payment.

    Do note that they mention about this in their FAQ only. Their TOS is silent about this practice.

    @rm_ said: 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

    Hetzner server comes with 1 ip. To buy additional ip you need to buy Flexi Pack (worth 15 Eur/month) first. Then they will allow you to buy additional ip. All together it comes out about 21.4 Eur/month for 6 ip addresses (minimum purchase). In my opinion this is expensive when I try to create couple of VMs out of that box.

    Surprising.

    @Brandon said: Does anyone else have any input? Hoping to stay on topic here...

    For $50 I expect roughly the following: dual core, 2GB RAM, 250GB 7200rpm HD, 5-10TB on 100mbit port. This is assuming U.S. and reasonable quality but not new hardware on a good network.

  • For $50:
    dual core intel/4 core AMD
    4gb ram
    2 150gb or bigger disks
    5-10tb bw, 100mbps port
    13 usable IPs

  • JTRJTR Member

    @ynzheng: There are issues at every provider out there. I personally am impressed and happy, as are the two people who told me about them, and quite a few other WHTers who've written positive reviews.

    Anyways:

    My server took ~4 days to arrive, which was within the estimate I had been given.

    I have seen numerous responses on weekends, weekdays, and odd hours of the night, usually within 30 minutes max.

  • I can do dedicated servers! Cheap to. Just have to message me. :)
