C2: Insanely Affordable x86-64 Servers
-
What is a VDR? VDR stands for Virtual Dedicated Resources. Unlike a standard VPS package, you can split the resources you pay for into as many servers of any size you want. (Per VPS Limits HERE)
Have 12GB of RAM? You can create
- 1 x 12GB server with 4IPs
- 3 x 4GB servers with 1 IP each and 2 with 2 IPs
- 1 x 6GB + 2 x 3GB servers
The combinations are endless

@aaronstuder No affiliation, I just love their product.

@aaronstuder I have the VDR20 plan. The VM packages sell out rather quickly.
I have run disk IO tests and some of the results are nearing 600mb/s disk write speed. I don't know if that's with caching though. I can post the code i've used.
-
@papercape Do you have any ServerBear results?
-
@scottalanmiller I think I get 25 IP's and can add more for like 1.00 each, I'm not certain about that price though.
-
I've run them in the past but I can't seem to find my tweets where I shared the link
Lemme run another on the new Dallas DC!
Oh, and I don't know if this matters, but the IPv6 pool on the VDR20 plan is like 50 IP's. I never use IPv6 though.

Ubuntu15.04All "minimal" installs. I don't really know if that's a relative term

@papercape Not bad
-
VDR4 includes 5 IPv4 for you to split up between servers. That very nice
-
I am still waiting on serverbear results. I forgot how long this takes
-
@papercape At least a couple of hours. Can you post some screenshots while you wait?

Scaleway now supports CentOS

All these providers have moved to SSD. Not that I can blame them for wanting to make the systems feel really fast. That does mean that less storage is included tho, which is why I'm using ramnode personally right now.

Vultr provides SATA if you want it.

Oh, I'm sure most places offer it, they just never have any pricing on the website. When I get off work, the last thing I want to deal with is talking to more sales persons.
