Looking for storage VPS. SpeedyKVM prices went nuts.

Hi!
I've been notified that my server is going to get a price increase from $2.8/m (paid 3-year) to $23/m.

So I need a new server.

1 vCPU
1TB HDD
2TB BW at least
Dallas or something near.

    Hello @MikeA not really :)) I have lot of customer for more than 1 year who I rented space even at 1.5 euro / TB, if you rent more than 8-10 TB +

    Before the energy price increase we rented even at 1 euro, we quickly filled about 300 TB of raw space

  • @MikeA said: $2.80 for 1TB?

    Yeah, old Incero was nice =)

    6 years with this server and not a single issue.

    We can do $3/mo per 1TB in LA.
    $2.5 per TB when more than 10TB.
    $2 per TB when more than 20TB.

    Can't do that anywhere other than LA.

    The most consistently available storage server I have used is with LevelOneServers in Dallas.
    Maybe @Ian_Dot_Tech will cut you a deal. :sunglasses:

    I am currently traveling in mostly remote areas until sometime in April 2024. Consequently DM's sent to me will go unanswered during this time.

  • Server Factory is best if you don't need dedicated IPv4 and willing to pay 2 year upfront.

    One of the servers I want to backup is colocated with Ian currently, so I want another location.

    Has this been available since BF?
    Storage in UK?
    How could I miss this?

    Just ordered and first time in LE* triggered a fraud check. Guess that's to be expected if you're ordering stuff wirh a german address while vacationing in greece and being logged in to hotel wifi LOL.

    @SMARTHOST sorry for the trouble, I just opened a ticket, maybe you want me to give your services a try...

    No, we just re-enable the code from time to time for a few days to keep filling up some storage nodes.
    Your order was released. ;-)

    while compared to yours IOps seem a bit on the low side in UK only in fio. I just started moving data in via rsync and don't see much iowait, regardless if it's many small files or bigger sequential stuff. feels snappy, nothing to complain.

    I guess most of it (in those yabses) comes down to caching the underlying array of spinning rust anyway, maybe @SMARTHOST wants to share some insights, what's used here - zfs? hw/sw raid? just lvm? how big are those arrays, what level of redundancy?

    happy I booked the second core though, as rsync/ssh wants a fair share of cpu while running. overall looks very good so far, performance is perfect enough for my use case and those 3TB in europe (yet not eu) come out at roughly 2.4€ per TB now.

    good deal, decent box, more diversification in backup storage. will keep an eye on this one over time.
