Neeed VPS in EU: 2C / 2G / 10GiB SSD / 800GiB HDD

edited April 5 in Requests

On the lookout for a tiny beefy VPS, with hybrid storage.
Not in a hurry (can wait till ~May 15th).

Desirableed specs at least:

  • KVM/VMw, no OVZ/LXD
  • 2 vCPU w/ AES-NI
  • 2 GB RAM
  • 10+ GiB SSD (20 GiB preferred) for an OS that kicks ars
  • 800~1000 GiB of spinning rust... with tolerable io please
  • 1 TiB at 100+ mbps per month (200mbps preferred)
  • no hard cutoff once bw exceeded (even 1mbps will do)
  • native IPv6 + some IPv4 connectivity (NAT's fine)
  • low delay (<25ms) to Paris' ping6.online.net, so likely in FR NL DE GB IT.

Budget 3€/month, annual payment ok. Can go a bit higher if extra perfs/perks.
Something along the lines of Servarica's Opossum2 plan... but in the Old World :p

Usage will be rather modest - nothing shady nor noisy: backend for some light web hosting/mirroring + infrequent cold data encrypted backup.

    Thanks - had noticed your sweet offer... but a bit too far (>30ms) and above budget.
    (BTW the IPv6 of your lookingglass seems down.)

    Thanks for the tip. A bit too much/pricey ("trop beaucoup" ©) for my needs, but close
    I've checked hostbrr's "hybrid" line also - close but no cigar.

    Budget is a bit low.
    Maybe try waiting for the upcoming HostBrr sale, @Labze mentioned on LET he'll be releasing hybrid storage then

    Yep, I'm playing MrCheapo here, in the hope that some special/custom offers or extraordinary suggestions pop up.
    I take Servarica as reference (hell, $36/yr for 2C/2G/1T is neat) but I have to admit it was a bit on the low side performance-wise, that's why I'll also consider more expensive offers if still a good bargain.

    I see.
    If that's the case, best bang for buck remains host C.
    EUR 3 * 12 = EUR 36/yr

    For ~9 EUR extra, you get 4TB additional storage and a decent, not oversold CPU. Has 20GB NVMe boot too.

    Maybe after the RDS peering issues are solved, you'll have a better latency, I'm waiting for that fix too, ping is not the best to Asia.

    I have storage vps with @host_c and it is excellent in performance and stability. The proper ticketing system is extremely helpful to get support in time.

    I personally avoid providers who do not have proper ticket based online support. Also check the cancellation policy as well before signing up

    Yep, I'm wary of summerhosts and other too-good-to-be-true "funny" hosts (a recipe for LowEndlessDramas on the sister LowEndTrash forum, wink wink). They harvest gazilions of customers - including tons of noisy neighbours - thanks to cheap powerful plans shining in benchmarks... then after a few weeks quality goes to deep sh*t (iops, latency, bankruptcy, "of course it was all raid0", whatever...).

    As for @host_c, save for the fact they're newcomers and out-of-stock right now (and weird statements such as no DNS, XFS, qemu-guest-agent etc.), it looks tempting indeed, and definitely in my budget. Especially now that I can see that their IPv6 is roughly ~25ms only from here. :p

    I have been @host_c customer since Dec 2023, and recently upgraded my storage VPS.

    Compare these two GB6 scores from two providers
    same cpu and both "claim" with 2 vCores

    Went for a neat offer at @Labze's HostBrr - and it appears to kick a$$ so far
