Very small dedicated server

tinyray

Is there any dedicated server with 768MB of RAM, 20GB HD and 4 CPU cores?

Maounique

I would doubt that, it does not make sense from the point of view of power usage. If you find it is likely to cost same or even more than kimsufi. And 4 cpu with that memory, no way. M

Damian

A VPS will serve these requirements nicely, and is the point of a VPS.

jarland

Probably but it'll cost you more than a vps with the same specs that performs better. Usually those dedicateds with low specs and low prices have really bad CPUs. There are exceptions though.

Raspberry pi!!!!!!!!!

@yomero said: ?

Yup, just for demonstrations,

I think I saw something on SilverKnight?

Here you go

Current Specials! Cobalt RAQ 4 18 GB’s HD Space 256 MB’s RAM 10 Mbps Unmetered Connection 1 IP $19.95/Month !!

or this Intel Pentium D 3.0GHz 250 GB HD Space 1 GB RAM 10 Mbps Unmetered Connection 1 IP CentOS $29.95/Month !!

I can vouch for SilverKnight (previously known as rubyringtech). I used to have a half rack with them. Anthony (the owner) is a great guy!

Damian

Are those RAQs running Cobalt Linux still, or have they been flashed to be able to load standard Linux kernels?

No, I was talking to the other guy.

And for you. The ram is cheap, and there aren't even 512 MB dimms anymore, so doesn't make sense actually to sell something like that, and even less sense with a Quad CPU, imho.

The only heavy point of his specs was CPU power. Which VPS will let you use 4 cores like a dedi? I doubt any CPU-intensive stuff is welcome in a place that resource is shared. Also, the kimsufi deals, and similar posts in here have like the worst CPU possible (and not 4-core).

Taz

@Damian got no idea, was with them about 6 year ago. God know what they are upto. Anthony and his partner splitup and Sknight was born. I was able to get tony on the phone couple of months ago.

And for which modern CPU you can find 256/512 MB memory modules (to make it 768MB total) ? This is going to be some very ancient server, with 768MB of RAM.

Not running the Cobalt RAQ OS I hope....

Much better to splurge and get the Pentium D :)

That will in no way have 4 cores. Any kimsufi cpu will beat it. M

@yomero, that fits some specific configurations for my applications. I look for a dedicated server because of performance stability. I dont have my hand in the production phase of my applications.

jarland

I guess I do get the desire to have a small dedi sometimes, just because even with more CPU power I always feel like a jerk pushing everything I can on a VPS, and you can abuse a dedi to your heart's content without getting suspended for abusing CPU, I/O, etc.

@tinyray What is your budget?

yomero

Ok, then get a quad and limit the kernel to that RAM quantity at boot

Then it would be better to look for a reliable vps provider. Only because there are a lot hosts which can't manage their servers properly (in the view of overselling) that doesn't mean that there aren't providers which are able :)

tinyray

@jarland, $30/month at most, or I stop watching TV to double that much, :)

tinyray

@Amfy, the SSH application on my desktop contains a very long list of VPS. I dont think there are such providers nowadays.

I've got one. I know reviews about BlueVM are mixed, but this is quality.

bdtech

Is bluevm any good?

jarland

@bdtech I always hear mixed things about their OpenVZ, but this thing is great.

Have you looked at the link which was posted?! You can't compare this product with OpenVZ...

I don't follow you. He asked if BlueVM is any good, not the product. I hear mixed things about how good they are with OVZ, but this KVM split 4 ways is great.

Taz

@jarland another debate waiting to start KVM versus OVZ :P
