KVM VPS, Worth the money?

vmhaus

Dear LETers,



What do you guys think of the VPS plan below? In terms of features and pricing. Would you give it a shot?



KVM

1 x E3 vCPU

1GB RAM

20GB NVMe SSD

5TB @ 1Gbps

OVH Anti-DDos PRO

1IPv4 + 1 IPv6

SnapShot Backup - via Control Panel

USD 5/ Month



Really appreciate your input on this! Good day!

hostdare

It is good pricing with nvme .

Rocketrix

it do worth, but you can find a cheaper one over the internet for around 4 USD's instead of five.

Gravely

IF australian sure.

It's at least competitive, but from a new provider I'd probably wait a while for reports from other users. I'm pretty happy with the 2GB OVH VPS-SSD-1 which is usually $3.50/month but which I got for 50% off during their black friday special last year.

NVMe is fast but shared a bunch of VPS's who knows--I wouldn't count it that highly, and if it matters then I'm probably better off with 2x the ram. The OVH VPS has half of the SSD space but that's ok because I have a storage VPS in the same DC, so I just sshfs mount it and I have tons of space. Your main advantage is the 1gbps port. The low cost OVH VPS's only have 100mbit and that matters sometimes.

Could you leave me a private message of who the provider is?

willie

Oh I thought OP was considering selling a plan like that and checking for interest. Now that I think of it though, @pbgben has a plan along those lines and it sounds decent.

Yes, worth buying just go for it. Who's the provider? BTW

AuroraZ

Probably @pbgben in the Easter Thread. Sounds like one he put up there, but I can't be certain, and too lazy to check atm.

No, their $5 plan only contains 10 NVMe storage.

You might want to mention if it is RAID, and if so the RAID level.

How much does snapshot cost?

If someone is using OVH for VPS hosting infrastructure they are not using anything custom or expensive so no snapshots I imagine.

Its a good package though at a good price.

There is a reason I only give 10gb, any more for the same price and OP is running at a loss (or overselling) our margins are small but the performance we provide is unparalleled.

m3gf

i think it is a good deal.

robohost

Is there any big performance difference from the normal ssd in real life usage?

bap

Good price Why not?

I think what you said is somewhat true for distributed block storage, since you cannot run e.g. your own Infiniband storage cluster on OVH, but I don't see why custom hardware would be needed for just for snapshots. For example, we use OVH and offer snapshots.

Is it true that you offer snapshots?

Not true, we have no snapshot feature.

When I see a survey like this I figure it's because the OP is thinking of offering the service, and is testing the waters to see if anyone would want it.

I think we should expect a provider tag near @vmhaus's name soon.

Look at the SP-64 offer from OVH, with 2x1.2tb nvme ssds. The specs mentioned in the OP would fit about 60 times in that amount, with montly costs being about 150 usd. This means OP would basically make 150 usd profit per server, if he can fill them, and before support and licenses costs.

Yeah, you're right. We are starting a VPS node with NVMe storage in OVH. Why not? With our experience in virtualization and competitive pricing offered by OVH, we could run a profitable business. Although not huge amounts but its still a workable and sustainable model.

willie

Hetzner also has NVMe servers that you might look at.

Definitely not running 60 VMs on a E3 KVM node.

dmzhost

It's a normal price.. competitive and plus you get also ddos protection from OVH
