Cheap VPS in Switzerland with some disk space
Hi there,
I'm looking for a VPS in Switzerland for personal everyday usage.
I'm somehow awaare of some providers I saw there, but I was never sure how they were connected, or they were badly connected.
It's necessary that it's well connected to Switzerland and possibly also to Germany (good DE-CIX connection is enough)
My basic needs are a 1gbps port (shared ofc) and some space, extending this now to the usual pattern.
VZ Type: KVM
Number of Cores:1 (don't care about type)
RAM: at least 1GB
Disk Space: 100GB
Disk Type: HDD (RAID 10), if there's a possibility for SSD, would be great
Bandwidth: ~1-2TB
DDoS Protection: Preferably, but not necessary
Number of IPs: 1 v4 (NAT is not an option) and at least 1 v6
Location: Switzerland
Budget: ≤ 20 USD, preferably less of course
Don't know if this is even possible, but that's why I'm asking.
Please feel free to point me to exisiting offers if they exist.
Greetings

Well, there's Swissnode (https://www.swissnode.ch/), but they don't include that amount of traffic. Maybe they can do a custom plan for you.
Their ram and CPU cores are fine, but disk space does not match with OP requirements.
For 20$ this is not really realistic for CH.
You seem to be Swiss - you should be aware what Swisscom transit costs....
The one for 15.99€ seems to be fitting most of your requirements: https://www.fsit.com/server/vps-vserver-kvm
Or here one for 14chf: https://transcomag.net/root/
Maybe VPS-V2 can feet your needs (but only 40GB HD). https://incloudibly.net/en/vps
Hey there,
thank you all for your replies.
Unmanaged of course, I'm aware managed is not realistic for this budget at all
Thank you, I've seen them today and their connection seems to be the most close to what I'm searching for yet.
(see https://www.peeringdb.com/net/163)(Of course, direct Swisscom transit would be best, please tell me if you find a provider that offers that XD)
Sadly, basically 90% of all VPS providers I found in CH use SSD storge by now (which is fine of course), but I can't expect 100GB of SSD storage for this price, but I don't need it as well, that's why it's kinda difficult.
I'll probably try to contact them next days.
Okay then, thanks for telling me. I'm fine with about 1TB of traffic, it doesn't have to be more than that, but 800GB-1000GB should be a necessity, I guess Swisscom transit is hella expensive, but I can't compare as I don't know figures.
As for FSIT and Transcom-AG, either they peer privately completely or they only are connected to little IX at 1gbit/s in total, I don't think they can deliver speed too good, but I'll keep them in mind as they come close to my requirements, thank you guys!
Sorry, can't go any lower than 100GB, thanks anyway!
init7 "Russian" PJSC.........Good luck.
Hi, sorry, but what do you mean by that?
They're officially registered in Switzerland as a PJSC:
https://www.zefix.ch/en/search/entity/list/firm/91122?name=Init7
Though don't know why they need a holding...
https://www.zefix.ch/en/search/entity/list/firm/1047713?name=Init7
They provide fiber here as well, named fiber7, not in my region though.
Kinda curious about this
I'd highly recommend Incloudibly (https://incloudibly.net/en/vps). I've been using them for about 6 months now and they have been great and are in the Solar Communications data center in Zurich.
Hi, I'm looking for a small & very cheap VPS in Switzerland. 96-128 MB RAM, 1IP,
Budget: ~ 10 USD /year.
Not happening
too small ?
Unrealistic price.
it can be perceived but cannot be described with words.
Tried both,
FSIT is slow upload download and upload, transcomag has fast download (800Mbit) but slow upload (50Mbit)
It's not listed on their website, but in WHMCS - swissnode has a 12EUR/year plan with IPv6 only.
He said "1 IP". I guess that means Ipv4
Welp, thank you for posting this, made me aware that Swissnode only offers 100mbps - sadly a no-go
Thank you for telling! Keeping Transcom-AG in mind then at least.
I'd be also willing to go down to 512MB RAM, but 100GB HDD and 1gbps (performing as good as possible) would really be necessary (ofc KVM or comparable). Keep the budget out of your mind if you know some really good providers, I'll probably contact it them trying to make a deal.
Has anyone made some experience with PrivateLayer? They seem to have a at least half-way good network, but it seems they suspend VPS' really quick for no reason?
You won't get 100GB of storage for under 20$.
Probably, no storage VPS out there
I'm thinking about https://exoscale.ch - upgrading their smallest package, getting to 14EUR for 100GB of SSD(! :O) storage - but their traffic system is quite complicated. But one of their DC's is Equinix in Geneva with direct Swisscom peering - but sadly no IX as it seems, still, worth a thought for me.
Solar Communications (aka Incloudibly) seems to be at least kinda interesting as well, they peer with Init7 and Core Backbone, last one providing quite good peering to DE, but CH seems to be meh, but still in mind.
Sorry, I wrote the above too quickly.
Exoscale would work as you described. For networking, just assume there isn't any outgoing free transfer and you'll pay the 0.0182 EUR/GB. They also have object storage, which at 100GB would be even cheaper at 4.55EUR, with the same outgoing transfer cost.
At cloudsigma, you can get one core limited to 0.5GHz, 1GB RAM, 100GB SSD, 5TB outgoing, 1 IPv4 for 10.45 CHF/month. You can get more CPU shares in little steps (0.49CHF/0.1GHz), but no IPv6 or DDoS protection.
Thanks for the great hint!
Cloudsigma seems to have a reasonable offer, their connection is also quite okay, I'm currently testing their service, connection to home seems great (due to peering at Equinix), server to server connections seem to reach about ~ 100-500/600mbps in average, speed to Germany's Hetzner for some reason is really bad (~70mbps at max), even though close to DE-CIX and direct CIX peering, but on the other hand connection to server in Equinix Frankfurt is decent (600mbps). I'm going to test this out some more.
Because Cloudsigma is for some reason not calculating CPU cores but GHz of computing power, how much would you recommend me? Going to operate a Nextcloud-Server, Maria-DB, a Nginx-Server, probably a SoftEther VPN server (not necessary though I guess if it takes too much ressource). Nginx would serve only a few static sides besides Nextcloud. RAM will be 1GB probably, as it's included, SSD space.
Would 1GHz of computing power be enough or more necessary?
Are either of them in Switzerland like the OP specifically requested?
It's a fresh account spamming, nothing to see here.
I believe they did the exact same thing on their old account - searching 'Caygri' leads to a site (https://caygri.com/) linking to http://serveroutlet.it/, which was posted by a user of a similar name a week or so ago, who also spammed useless replies - I wasn't sure if they'd been unbanned or not, so haven't reported them.
Hey guys,
I guess I'm close to deciding now, but there is one thing that popped in front of my eyes pretty often now. When testing Cloudsigma's network speed and doing traceroutes, their one part of the route (which seems to be a gateway as it's on all routes on second position) seems to be done through an address assigned to US AT&T (sbcglobal, isn't it their home-fiber ISP in US?)
Now while I don't think this is even possible due to the low latency it has, it leaves me either with the clue that the IP is just not correctly assigned (a transfer, etc.) or the server is not located in CH, but due to other excellent peering in CH it should be.
Could you guys imagine another reason for that? I tried contacting support asking why this is the case, but their reply was simply:
Well, I'm basically just curious because I don't want traffic to make a stop in US while it shouldn't, and I'm not that good with getting a reason for this.
The traceroute runs like this:
Guess it's just a transfer IP, but thought I might ask some network guys here XD
We offer Switzerland VPS but there is no DDoS protection.
