If you think you can get same specs with lower price
then go get it, buyvm doesn't force you to buy their service or something
Don't ever change, BuyVM.
.......
@Jack it appears you have a hardon for BuyVM
Mr tough man swearing!
Good morning. Welcome to real world where 1GB Real ram costs more than 5$/mo.
@Jack I have no reply to that
An owl getting sprayed by a hose beats anything I could post
If you buy dedicated servers you can get RAM for less than $5/gb.

err, I meant VPS with decent profit unless you are all in for 5$ 100GB ram vps.
If only BuyVM wouldn't oversell at current prices... but overselling isn't bad per se.
I don't think the price of RAM literally and physically is all it is in a VPS. There are a lot of other factors.
Actually, the price is not going down as expected, Kingston and samsung cut production to keep prices up.
Hopefully, other producers will seize the opportunity.
Kingston doesn't make RAM. It's Crucial, Hynix and Samsung. Kingston is just a "reseller". It's because now that there are only 3 companies left, they've increased prices and possibly involved in price fixing. News talks about it quite often.

That's why I hope others will join if the prices stay high for long.
Could @BlueVM contact me.
You have won my domain auction, see my current signature.
Thanks.
Not likely. It went down to this mostly because DRAM etc production is now an unsustainable business. The remaining players are also all SSD makers
Jeeze. Remember when LOW ENDtalk was for, low-end VPSes?
BuyVM's pricing is still cheap. Shit.
Don't go cry because BuyVM isn't racing to the bottom of the barrel to offer you the most resources for the least amount of money. You've literally got hundreds of options if you want more for less.
Sheesh.
There are some providers where you have peace of mind. its not always the best bang of buck.
Stuff less cheeseburgers down your mouth and whatever money you foolishly spend per month, problem solved.
There's a difference between whether you can afford something and whether you consider it value for money.
@Gary you're a shimmering example of what start up / new providers have to deal with their narrow minded customers. Well you know with that extra money they are making, which is often called "evil profit" by anti-capitalists on here, allows them to run their own network, buy servers and well, move from SJC to LV when they were having issues.
You knew this, of course.
@doughmanes - you're a "shimmering example" of a narrow-minded idiot. You assumed that because he didn't like the price of one thing, that he spent his money on cheeseburgers or otherwise wasted it. Maybe for him, a BuyVM box would be a waste. If another provider's giving him good service at a price he finds acceptable, why should he pay more?
I pointed out that just because you CAN afford something doesn't mean it's good value for money. That's the whole point of LET/LEB. Getting more for less.
Personally I have no opinion on BuyVM's products or their price. If you take off your fanboy-glasses, and re-read my post, you'll see that I didn't make any judgement on the actual topic of the thread. I just stated a fact.
As for your "anti-capitalist" rant, it's quite a stretch to extrapolate that from my post.
Fanboy? Don't assume anything, jackass. Feel free to give me a call below, maybe we can have a long talk about some of your personal issues
I thought the point was "disregard logic, it's under $7" and Liam is the offer nanny looking out for your own adult decision to view a website, consider the options and either sign up or look elsewhere.
My IO used to be better than this...
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 13.2721 s, 80.9 MB/s
Oh well. It's not as if it's a problem yet. 80MB/s is fine.
Getting 250MB/s and 330MB/s on my servers doesn't make this look any better though.
And will you ever be writing over 80mb/s ever? DD is so over rated.
GETTING MORE FOR LESS!!!!! Even if it's unsustainable / unrealistic!!!!
Probably not, which is why I said "it's not as if it's a problem yet". However it's a bit disappointing to see that IO speeds have dropped over time.
Heaven forbid people actually use the service they purchase.
You're right, and that's why we've already been planning out some hardware changes. We pushed some software changes on a few test nodes to see if that helped but it didn't help as much as we'd like.
The next project on tap is to replace our 5805/6805 raid cards with 78xxx series cards so we can get maxcache in place.
It isn't something we're just ignore by any means, it's just we have other projects to finish before 3 of our techs haul ass out to Vegas to roll out the changes
