Cheap Europe SSD dedicated servers under 25 Euro/month?

Baris · August 2017

Hi,
I am currently looking for cheap SSD servers in Europe with good latency to Germany.

I will install centminmod and host a few websites on this server.

Need at least 4GB RAM, 100+ SSD space, 5TB traffic, 100mbit+ connectivity.

I am looking for the best bang for the buck. My budget is 25 Euros per month.

XC 2016 from online.net looks attractive but it is currently sold out. Looking for alternatives.

@AlexBarakov was doing some one-off specials including a config that meets your requirements for €25 (see https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/121148/alphavps-vps-in-5-locations-with-4gb-5eur-dedicated-servers-in-bg-from-25eur#latest) - drop him a line and see if he still has SSD models available.

Solid provider, won't let you down.

Edit: - price is exclusive of VAT, so bear that in mind.

Another edit: SoYouStart - https://www.soyoustart.com/en/offers/143sys13.xml - €25.50, again exclusive of VAT, no setup fees.

For that price you can go better with a virtual dedicated server.

Take a look here for example http://www.seflow.net/2/index.php/en/services/mycore/mycore-2

That may be true, but not with Seflow. You can't even meet his requirements at the €25 price point, let alone provide more.

EDIT: I do beg your pardon, I confused the requirements in this with another. You can indeed meet his requirements with your €23.99/month plan, however you're still not providing more for less.

Very nice recommendations, thank you.

I asked @AlexBarakov if he can work out something for me in Germany. The SoYouStart offer looks very solid regarding hardware and connectivity + no setup fees makes it more attractive.

Thank you. Will keep in mind for the future but dedicated without virtualization is needed for this project.

Edit: Also Italy DC only? Would prefer Germany, Netherlands, France offers because of latency.

if an atom's enough, scaleway has bare metal options similar to the online.net offer

I did some tests with arm64-4GB and VC1M instances. With ARM latest centminmod beta installation failed because of the ARM architecture I guess.

VC1M went through, but performance was not that good. I might check out the bigger VC1L instance but why aren't they offering bigger system volumes than 50GB?

I know I can add 50GB volumes and mount them but one big volume would suit my needs better. They have an image builder which I could use to build my own image but I need a service which just suits my needs out the box. In the past I also had problems, once a termination of an instance didn't went through and was stuck in the panel. I had to contact support to remove it.

No, you can choose between Italy and Germany during checkout. Please remember that you can choose between LXC (containers) and kvm virtualition. The real innovation of mycore is not only CPU core and ram dedicated BUT the i/o reserved. Nobody can saturate i/o resource and you're on a server with similar performance (about 300-350Mbps on sequential write) of a dedicated server.

I just write a post about differencies that can be interesting: http://www.seflow.net/2/index.php/en/blog/mycore-difference-between-kvm-and-lxc-virtualization

If you have doubt let me know i can give you free 48 hours trial to check the performances
