What are you looking for in the LowEnd World?
Hello everyone!
I am looking to get feedback from users to get a better idea of what people are looking for from me, as a provider, so I can see if I am able to give people what they are looking for.
A general gist of what I am looking for is,
VPS? WebHosting?
OpenVZ or KVM (Dedicated "Slices"?)
Storage Offers? How large?
High RAM?
I, Specifically have offers for VPS in Germany, Are users looking for more locations in the US or more locations in the EU? Any other locations?
Anything else?
Please keep this discussion related to LowEnd Offer's Feedback.
Thank you in advance for any feedback provided!,
Cam

1TB Disk, 6GB RAM, 12 cores for $1/year oh and I forgot to mention, 100% uptime.
Thanks but please try to keep this serious
You're on the wrong forum pal.
I know people like to joke, I am fine with that, as long as it relates to the topic and genuinely adds to the discussion.
Again, please keep all comments related to my topic.
Not really the way it works.
But hey, since you ask so nicely, people want all the things you have suggested. Every single one of them. Hope that helps.
I'd love to see dedicated slices on the east coast somewhere other than NY and OVH Canada
Great! Thanks for feedback!
Seedbox-allowed storage VPSs maybe? Something at cociu's costrange but at CA etc. (non-eu)
This will definitely be coming in the future =D (Canada). Thankyou!
Plex hosting would be nice too (something like ZX host's plex hosting but again, non-eu location)
Great! That would be covered in Canada.
I think there might be a demand for non-seedbox storage, too, a la Hetzner's storage line, with access limited to rsync, scp, FTP, etc., but not a full VPS. Or maybe object storage like S3 or Swift.
Storage for regular backups has a rather different usage pattern from torrent, and it would be great not to have to compete with seedboxes on the same node.
Would a NAT VPS fulfill what you are looking for? If so, I have it
0.5-1 core cpu (fair share), 512mb/1gb ram, 10 gb ssd, 500 gb BW (250mbps-1Gbps), openvz and price around 15$-20$ /year (prefer yearly payment). This is just a replacement for shared hosting and perfect for 1 or 2 wordpress sites. I have helped some of my friends to move from shared hosting to this kind of vps and most of them are very happy with the performance. These are also perfect for personal vpn.
Thankyou! Great feedback!
Yeah! some cheap NATs for personal VPNs would be nice too! Something like you have in germany but in other locations (someplace in asia maybe?)
Great! Definitely something I want to do!
Thanks, yes I already have a couple NAT VPSes from LES. It's not about the IPv4. I was thinking of something specifically tailored for backups, something that disallows torrent use, both because of the I/O load and the potential for abusers. Perhaps simply iops limits on a normal VPS (a la @time4vps) would be sufficient, I don't know.
Ahh, yes I see what you mean. I do have io priorities set for nat and storage servers but currently no limits set. IO load for the server hasn't reached over 3% so all is good right now.
$5/year, 512MB, Gigabit, in Asia. ikr?
$8-9 / year KVM 512M 15G disk DDOS-protec capacity>=50Gbps NO OVH,
stable,good uptime.
Can we do that?
As a storage junkie I like the idea of ftp/scp storage, especially since no other LET providers are doing it afaik. But, I'd be reluctant to buy storage from a new entrant since it's hard to move large amounts of data if the host messes up somehow.
Overall the LET segment is pretty saturated and it's hard to make any money without an established client base. You could aim a little higher and use openstack/ceph/etc instead of the usual whm/solus stuff, but that takes more technical chops.
If you have DC space with people on site, services like mailing out hard drives could be interesting. No one is currently doing that unless you count a few slot hosting products and actual colo.
I am looking for propane and propane accessories.
Nah, not in an essentially shill thread which is pretty much WHT style signature promoting. Not here.
Does Canada get hit by DMCA? I want to install quickbox in it, download torrents and stream it to me in US (I will turn off rtorrent manually when watching Plex) .. I would love AlphaRacks's "Linux VPS Special 2GB" https://lowendbox.com/blog/alpharacks-ddos-protected-linux-windows-vps-from-8year/ But in Canada (for faster speed), prices at 2$/month ~ 2.5$/month
Well, yea the ISPs certainly get the automated crap - i get that for EU and Asia as well, they just send it out without any checks mostly.
Legality wise DMCA is not much worth in CA; likely less than in EU (where "notice of infringement", as you know then there is some, is an issue - not for torrent as you cannot verify this, but eg. for warez links as it is reasonable to assume you will open the site and check on the surface).
Let me think... I don't know any LET style VDR (Resouce Pools) in Europe so... ImpactVPS ins't there yet.
VPS w no problem with tun/tap, Affordable(<2$ coz at these price i can reach), Unlimited bw. >10GB Disk, NATed for reducing its price..
so, anyone know where I can get these now? idk where to buy, Quadhost seems cant handle themself problem
(mann quadhost again)
Where???? gimee that crumb.
