How do you choose a budget server?

I'm looking for dedicated servers (6-8 servers) with the following configurations:

CPU i9-9900K
RAM 64GB
SSD 500GB / 1TB
Unmetered network / no limits
Possibility to install my own OS by rescue system
KVM access (if possible)
No setup fees
Collocation Germany

Do you guys know any providers who offers such at a decent price?
I would go on hetzner, but, their setup fees of $670 would kill me
Lets say I had a budget of $40-50 per server, any providers with that range?

Most of the reviews I read about OneProvider are negative (e.g., https://trustpilot.com/review/oneprovider.com). Of course, most negative reviews of budget servers are about support, which is mostly inappropriate (you cannot expect high standard support from budget providers).

As far as I understand, OneProvider is a reseller of many providers. It is an amazing business model.

Anyhow, why are people so negative about OneProvider among many budget providers?

Hi Guys,

I guess they deserve to have this feedback, I've been using wholesaleinternet dedicated servers since 1st of January 2013 over 8 years damn! I am getting old

I used to have dedicated server with expensive providers before I met wholesaleinternet, believe or not I have less problem with wholesaleinternet after I changed from previous dedi provider. I have 0 problem last 5-6 years. These guys knows what they are doing from management to support, they have backup power, backup internet providers etc to maintain servers in good shape.

Price: I don't think you would find better pricing than wholesaleinternet I also have ovh budget dedicated servers close to wholesaleinternet prices they are also good after wholesaleinternet.

Support: When I had dedicated server with expensive service providers, response time of tickets around 2-12 hours. believe or not every time I create ticket with wholesaleinternet they response and make it happen solution nearly in an hour. My last interact was I need to have KVM and they installed within 30min. I have no words with these guys they are not only fast but also proactive.

The budget deals which are common in Europe are hard to find in the Providers. The cost of hardware is cheaper in the US (as I can judge from the retail market).

Then, why are the US dedicated servers are more expensive as compared with similar plans in Europe?

Anyone have any recommendations for dedicated GPU server providers in Asia? We work with providers like CherryServers in the EU, and they work great. Looking for someone like that in Singapore, Korea, Thailand, or surrounding countries.

I'm from Europe and looking at most offers in the north America, they all seem to have pretty limiting bandwidth or outrageous costs compared to European providers.

For the price of a Hetzner Ryzen 5 3600 box, best I could find with higher bandwidth limits (>100TB) was so long ago that I forgot from whom the offer even was, but I remember it was an i3... an i3 in a server for the same cost as the Ryzen 5 in EU.
I'm aware how different the marker and costs are compared to these two regions, but there must be some providers that offer more bandwidth for the price, right?

Is anyone able to point me to something that I can trust to be reliable meanwhile now blowing my wallet out into space.
At this point I'm looking for anything with appropriate specs (Ryzen 5 or newer Xeons), ~64GB RAM, >100TB transfer, 512-1TB SSD, optionally maybe an option for more IPs for not a lot of money? (>2$ per IP is too much for me)
My max budget would be ~50$-65$, that's what I'm aiming for.

Thanks in advance!

I am looking for and set up my server in European countries, I don't really know about many European providers, Please recommend me server providers in European countries
- Euro ( UK, DE, FR, RU, LV, NL,........ all )
- Bandwidth >100mbs
- Lowest cost: 50$->150$
Thank you, please leave a comment to help me <3

Hi,

I'm currently looking for dedicated servers in APAC.

Specs I wanted:
- CPU: Intel i7/Xeon E3-12xx (Ryzen is much better)
- RAM: 32-64GB RAM
- Storage: prefer SSD, HDD is okay.
- Network: 500mbps or above (5tb/10tb).

My budget is around US$ 70-150/mo.

Yes there are several providers in the region, but there are some issues.

1. OVH
Their APAC servers seems to be sold out (Rise/APAC lineup)

2. Leaseweb
Requires business/entrepreneurship registration, but servers are for personal use/under my name.

3. PhoenixNAP
Servers are in stock, budget fits well, but their upstream & network routing does not fit with my users (and they're not in SG exchanges? eqx sg, sgix, megaport?)

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi,

Who is offering bare metal dedicated server using AlmaLinux/cPanel now?

I'm currently using LiquidWeb, but they do not offer it yet (no ETA). I have also checked a couple of other major providers, but none of them offers it at this moment too.

For hosting providers, if you are not offering it now, any ETA so we know when to expect it and choose accordingly?

Thank you!

I heard of Tempest hosting from several Discord servers, and give it a try.

Bought an M610 dedicated server in Amsterdam, running X5677, 32GB RAM, 900GB storage, 10gbps dedicated unmetered port. yes, you're not reading it wrong.

Onboarding process, it was smooth sailing. Registered, paid, and their IPMI system will automatically install the OS I chose. They also provide "Firewall Manager", where we can add filters on what ports/ips/protocols should be allowed/rejected to our server IP. They also provide DDoS filters, such as OpenVPN/VSE/TCP/TS3.

Compared to other providers, specs/hardware wise, there are far better options (ryzen/epyc/E5), but considering the price, no other providers can offer what they offer. 10gbit unmetered dedicated port for only US$150/mo!?

They do offer Ryzen servers, but I think it's a pre-order system and takes 2-6 weeks.

Network wise, the downside is that they're not on any exchanges/IXs (AMS-IX, DE-CIX, NL-IX, LINX, etc). They only use tier-1 upstreams (GTT & NTT), so sometimes routing outside of Europe (specifically Asia Pacific) is a bit weird.

In terms of support, they offer two options, either via WHMCS or their Discord server. All of the people who I talk to are friendly and knowledgeable.

Overall, for $150/mo, 10gbps unmetered port, it's fantastic. I hope that more & better specs will be available in the near future.
