giang

I saw an offer from BudgetVM on WHT, they offer $48/year for 1GB RAM + 1GB Swap, 4 core E5-2620, 80GB HDD, 3TB BW. Here is a quick test from freevps script:

CPU model :  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 0 @ 2.00GHz
Number of cores : 4
CPU frequency :  2000.135 MHz
Total amount of ram : 1024 MB
Total amount of swap : 1024 MB
System uptime :   5 min,
Download speed from CacheFly: 24.6MB/s
Download speed from Linode, Atlanta GA: 5.25MB/s
Download speed from Linode, Dallas, TX: 14.8MB/s
Download speed from Linode, Tokyo, JP: 7.52MB/s
Download speed from Linode, London, UK: 7.68MB/s

The offer said port speed is 100Mpbs, but it seems it's 1Gbps :D It's really impressive :D

I saw that offer yesterday. It's OpenVZ right? Seems like LA is having better connection to Asia

Is this OpenVZ with VSwap or burst? They advertise burst, but the details above say swap.

I'm ordering LA location because it got good connection to Viet Nam :D

This is not promotional offer, you can find the order link on their website: budgetvm.com ;)

Yes, it's OpenVZ :D

@ErawanArifNugroho Yes, nice ping here from Malaysia to their LA location.

@concerto49 It's OpenVZ with VSwap.

Great stuff. Been looking for some lower end LEB with VSwap. Looking forward to the serverbears.

4.99 for those stats and 3 IPs? Has anyone used or heard of this provider before?

Best provider in 1st half of 2012 - US Central (Xen/VMWare/Other): BudgetVM (Enzu)

So far it's the best price performance ratio I've ever seen.

This offer is truly unreal...

@Jeffrey Price from 2 weeks ago: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1180623

I think the current promo is for limited time only.

dearroy

I am sure this offer will becoming a shitty dirt. 'cause they have to oversell heavily for this price.

Jeffrey

I agree with @dearroy. To sustain a dedicated server from being oversold, you have to come up with sustainable prices. At this price point, especially coming from a big host, how many VPS's do you think they would have to load on the dedicated server to earn profit back? Quite a lot, actually. I am sorry, but this has been proven with both Chicagovps.net $7/Month 2GB Ram VPS's and VolumeDrive's $4.95/Month 2GB Ram VPS's.

budingyun

I hope not. :(

Yep just look at ChicagoVPS miragated those bargain takers to New York and VD's non-response support. I am sure BudgetVM will be the follower if they keep doing this.

Jeffrey

@dearroy, I actually own 4 VPS's with VolumeDrive, I get a response to every Email I send out to them for support in less than an hour at most.

You are trying to persuade me to buy a VD's VPS right? :P I usually spotted some post about their poor support in WHT but I myself never have never used thier VPS and Dedicated. Maybe i should modify my comment.

Well, we will see in a month if they oversold or not :D

Of course it will be oversold. Every provider oversells. The question should be formatted to "Will it be overloaded".

Told William to PM you how many containers they are hosted on that server.sir.:D

budingyun

@giang Share with me too. :D

Bah, oversell, big deal. Get one of those 512gb ram and raid 10 16tb from @web_host.

jarland

What makes this interesting is that this type of oversell isn't usually accompanied by such high I/O results, even early on. Usually they keep the investment low, and I can't think of a way to hit those numbers without at least pretending to care a little. They have my attention.

But it's hard to oversell Xen, unless the I/O or network slows to shit.

I might try them out. Everything is cheap.

And dedicated servers with unlimited IPs :D
