KVM Fremont / San Jose
I am looking for providers offering services out of fremont, san jose or san francisco...
KVM, 1GB RAM, 1-2 TB bw (shared Gbps), ~20 GB HDD ... it's to be used as VPN, so I am looking for routing via telia from europe, as I can see e.g. with do or linode.
both offer the desired for around $10 p.m. - interested if someone can do that for less or if there are other providers I've missed?
(I've also seen atlantic.net, same price but routing is cogentco, more hops and also latency is worse... also not interested in LA this adds at least 18ms on top)
Comments
Can you ping
la.lg.budgetnode.net?We use Voxility and that should route via Telia.
PM me if suitable and we can do KVM there.
The SF Bay is HE's territory though. Will that work for you?
@Falzo, LA is usually Quadranet only and Shitty latency from pretty much anywhere outside US.
Consider Vegas ? @rob_t of UltraVPS.com/VPEasy.com
thanks, it's indeed voxility/telia but seems slightly different then what I've seen before... it goes to FFM first and from there directly to LAX, no (visible) hops in between ala LND NYK etc.
I already have a VPN in LA which seems to be at least equal so thanks anyways :-)
seems besides DO and linode there are not much options in the SF bay area.
thanks for the idea, could have worked if there were direct peerings from the east coast to LV but doesn't seem so.
I did some traces with their looking glass and it seems the routing always goes via SF, so for a vpn adds 9ms from sf to vegas and after that another 9ms back to sf. so sadly nothing to gain over LA...
most probably, do you know someone selling out of coresite or equinix dc (San Jose) or even HE/Fremont?

If KVM ins't a must, https://bandwagonhost.com/cart.php Fremont 184.105.138.67
EGI has or used to have vps's at Coresite (San Jose), though everyone hates them.
prgmr.com is at Coresite and their prices have gotten a lot more LE-like recently, comparable to Linode/DO though only monthly billing. I've always liked Luke's attitude though I've never had VPS with him.
DO is the only VPS provider that I know of that has San Francisco. I guess you already know about DO, Vultr, Linode etc.
I do remember some other LE host posting about San Jose recently but don't remember which. They are pretty scarce.
Colo in the bay area is quite expensive compared to other places, which may be why we don't see much LE hosting there.
They are OpenVZ only...that too with HDD's last I knew. But a solid provider. Infact my First ever VPS 7 years ago was from intoVPS. However despite some Openstack/Fleio trials 2 yrs back, they really never thought of improvising the infrastructure with KVMs or even offer SSD on OpenVZ
@bersy @willie @mehargags thanks for the help!
EGI doesn't seem to offer VPS anymore, at least couldn't find anything besides a slider on their page but lacking a 'more' button ;-)
prgmr.com indeed looks interesting, might give them a try...
bandwagonhost I totally forgot about despite having one of their 4IP,$3 per year LA boxes idling around since 2014... but I really want to avoid OVZ, old kernels and that tun/tap mess.
I've seen virmach offering San Jose as location, so colocrossing seems to have something there, but actually it is out of stock/on back order though.
If you want Fremont that is HE's stomping ground. A while back I asked for providers who were specifically using HE in Fremont. Maybe you can look at some of options that were mentioned https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/1067826/#Comment_1067826
BuyVM used HE Fremont 1 for a while but got tired of the power outages (supposedly not as bad at FMT 2, no idea if FMT 1 has improved). I don't think HE's network was that great either.
search wht for 'edgevm' sub-brand; i first signed up in 2013 never had to submit a ticket.
prgmr is solid. many years.
i would go with prgmr tbh
https://www.solidtools.com/en-us/Home/ServiceCloudVPS (I think there is a coupon greenearthcloudvps but not 100%)
https://worralorrasurfa.castlegem.co.uk/whmcs/cart.php?a=add&pid=112
http://www.aquanx.com/daily-special/?cat=vps $3 kvm for cheap
if you can deal with pretty bad english or no support you can probably go find some hosts run by china for bypassing gfw or something, i remember one a year? ago that was throwing something like 10 IPv4 free with every $2 vps
when was this? i have some stuff @ fmt (it's ~40 min away from berkeley) and it's .. not too bad from what i've seen
they still do under the sub-brand edgevm, i've had vps in there since 2013. based on my email inbox search, i've never submitted a ticket once (and it was used for production nginx, not idling)
This thread is driving me nuts because I used to work in Santa Clara, and I can't tell you of a single damn hosting provider anywhere near there in 2017.
take2hosting is what immediately comes to mind for SC
Atlantic.net is in Santa Clara although they advertise it as San Francisco.
All those startups use AWS, so...
lol
I used to work for a large backbone, then hosted at GlobalCenter, and... can't even remember who was nearby other than Level-3.
thanks very much for that valuable input! though a lot offers are more expensive than DO/linode/vultr (their price-performance ratio definitely is the limit here :-))
I'll give prgmr.com a try at $5 and if that won't work out, I'd nevertheless try a slice of @Francisco in LV, his looking glass gave me shorter latency than expected.
thanks all for the information gathering and heads up on this...
@Francisco might be able to supply more info. They were in FMT before Coresite, I think.
We were in FMT when BuyVM first started. We were there for a little over a year before the company we bought from, egihosting, was really pressing to get us to move over to Coresite.
At FMT we had 4 power outages, more than 1 was multi hour, in that time there. There was multiple large scale routing issues too. Both of these issues are recurring issues for HE facilities though, with FMT2 suffering multi hour power issues in the starting years and they had some serious configuration issues with their brocades causing tons of outages.
Coresite's power was solid, never a blip. The issue we had in SJC is that EGI & I couldn't come to terms over long standing network congestion issues on their network. We had network issues early on and they lasted the better part of 6 - 8 months before we said that was it and left.
If you're really wanting FMT then Linode is probably about it. EGI ran most VPS companies out of there due to similar issues and because they started a VPS company on the side competing with their own customer base.
Much thanks for the interest
I love our slice product line.
Francisco
any coupons to tempt me? :-P
The fun is that FMT1 AFAIK HAS a UPS system; by the time the power goes out it already went empty. Gensets broken/not available, UPS sized large but then also pointless and seemingly miserable grid connections.
DCs are really not HEs strong point.
Certainly with the power issues also no one really serious would use HE FMT...
AWS gives enormous amounts of free credits to startups. Dunno why anyone stays around after that.
Ability to spin up hundreds servers in a few seconds, mostly. AWS has scale and the click together interface is so custom that you'll be bound forever if you really get into the specialised services.
Any suggestions on inexpensive colocation in same region for 1U? I have a I have a dell C1100/cs24-ty. I would prefer 1 GBit - no more than 2 TB traffic per month and a /29. I dont know the power requirements for this server - its a current RTO.
