Datashack is getting some stock back on cheap dedicated servers

zhuanyi

Just realized data shack is getting some stock on some of the low end dedis:

https://www.datashack.net/dedicated/

For example,

Dual Opteron 2216 2.4Ghz - 2 Processors 4 Cores / 4 Threads 4GB DDR2 ECC 146GB SSD • 10TB Monthly Transfer • Linux/Windows* OS • 5 usable IPv4 Address • /64 IPv6 Address Block** • Remote Reboot Access $35.00/month FREE Setup

Which I guess is good enough for a general-purpose server. You can get another SSD to set up a RAID 1 for an extra 5 bucks.

What do you guys think?

Yup @Satellite and Myself (plus another person on IRC I don't qutie remember who) already bought one each yesterday.

It still isn't set up but...

me gusta.

Doesn't sound too bad for 40 bucks. How fast are those servers? Would DirectAdmin with a few websites be fine with that processor?

@HalfEatenPie Could you post or message me a test IP if possible? I asked their support for one.

It'll run as long as you don't have any hardcore database sites. They charge for DirectAdmin now, btw.

Just when I was going to get a server with them.

Guess they just lost my money.

Went to look and they only charge for setup.

Its five dorras. I wonder if I can set it up myself.

No offence but when you charge $33 for 1080mb I think you can still order and make a decent profit.

It seems you are correct. Tonight I was told this in a ticket:

"Starting on June 1st, we started charging $5 for DirectAdmin."

I just figured he meant per month.

Let's hope not :)

It's easy to make a profit on $33/month when the entire system only costs about $250 to build.

I wonder what kind of SSD? Or in reality is a 15k normal HDD?

NickPerk

Well it says SSD on the site index, but when ordering it says SAS. Gotta love that marketing they do. (Maybe they will bring back the sex core)

I read it in WHT in their latest offering threads

I believe they're SAS drives, not SSD.

martip07

Mmm are those 5 dollars for DirectAdmin only once or monthly?

Cuz it shows you 0.00 and set up fee 5.00

I dont understand that part :S

I asked them to clarify it. It's a one time setup fee for any license issued after the 1st of June.

martip07

@subigo

ok setup but the cost of the license?

Cuz i understand that setup and cost of a license is different :P

HalfEatenPie

@martip07:

Setup: $5 (one time payment)

Cost of License: $0 (recurring)

martip07

Thaks pie :)

Yea I don't work there anymore. We only charge $14 now :P

Perfect, one of those, with 2xSAS in RAID 0 and /26 subnet would make a perfect VPS node.

/and it was a joke/

That's the low end spirit!

If you only put a few on there it actually wouldn't be that bad ;)

Don't encourage the future deadpool candidates..

Not the Low end spirit. Let me fix it for you. "If you only put a few **hundred **on there"

jarland

@AsadHaider The dead pool is the source of our drama, we need drama.

Dear children, your parents won't even notice the money missing.

Bought one though. Not saying we're getting into VPS soon, but if we were, I'd beat the heck out of that little CPU and if I found the numbers acceptable, I'd add a few on it just to generate a little traffic (more like a /28). Otherwise, hello new PowerDNS node.

They charge for DA now because people ordered it because it was free, then asked for it to be uninstalled.

Some staff do not charge you for it.

Seriously? Bet you have a nice bill now.

Since it has 5 IPs included in the $35 price, I'd consider getting one, then selling 4 512MB KVM VPSes on it for $7/mo each (preferrably to trusted people), thus nicely offsetting the cost of the whole server. An $7 KVM on a server where there's only 4 other users, that's quite attractive imho.
