Eh? It's an old 2-core Atom, it's slow but functional if you don't need much cpu. Is there something else you wanted to know?
He want to see everything unlimited for under 10$
Benchmarks. "slow" is not a measure.
I will not ask for moderation of your comments but I invite you to desist if you have nothing constructive to add.
It's an Intel Atom n2800 with a cpubenchmark.net score of 628, even a Celeron 450 from 2009 is faster than that Atom.
It is nice for doing some backups or running a small teamspeak server on it.
100mbps network and 140-180mb/s hitachi enterprise hdd.
That's it, there's nothing else to say.
There you go: https://dl.mrpsycho.pl/KS2E
That's Kimsufi. Everything is as described.
Edit: My point is that "benchamrk" isn't a measure either. You have to know what type of operations you want to benchmark (eg. CPU - multipurpose floating point, (de)coding H.264, HVEC etc, encrypting VPN (if so then how many users?), ciphers, maybe Sequential/Random HDD Writes/Reads, Network - if so, then what's the destination?)
Toshiba HD in mine, got it ~4 years ago
Google. "Benchmarks." is not a smart question.
Wow wow what happened there? Now you have to click that button.
Since it's a dedicated box you get the whole CPU performance. The CPU is an Intel Atom N2800 @ 1.86 GHz. You can compare it (and it is very slow) to other CPU's here:
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Intel+Atom+N2800+@+1.86GHz&id=616
What is your intended use for the server?
You would like to know how it performs doing what task, please?..
The I/O sequential read/write speeds and the CPU speeds reported by bench.sh are enough for me.
The performance of that box is going to be awful overall for almost everything. You'd be better off investing $5 more and getting some overstock 8 year old Xeon somewhere else.
would appreciate if you could be more specific on that "somewhere else"
Nothing specific now but try https://metadedi.pw/
I myself have an old Opteron from Dacentec with 8 TB of storage for $25/month and that's probably 6 times better than the Kimsufi Atom and works great for my needs. Nocix usually has cheap dedis for under $20 (although I had issues with their routing but I'm outside of the US so I dunno if that was more of my issue than theirs).
I applaud your rebuttal kind sir, such eloquence
Thanks, I was looking for this type of feedback too.
They have a problem with their SSL certificate
aside from that, will check their offers anyway
Is there automatic renewal for kimsufi yet? I hate doing it manually, even if it's every 12 months (and I don't want to pay for 12 months in advance anyway, especially considering there is no discount for it).
@deer76 - Is there any reason you WANT a KS-2A as opposed to the KS-2E which is only marginally higher than the KS-2A and it does come by every now and then on offer?
The KS-2E has extra 2GB RAM (4GB in total) and a 2TB disk (instead of the 1TB with the KS-2A). Same processor.
As a backup server it is tremendously useful (despite the single disk) and it is excellent value IMHO.
Not as far as I know. Email reminders come by (multiple times and well in advance) and I've been pretty OK with it (esp. if you pay a few months at a time).
I wonder how that would work, given that there is no way to cancel a kimsufi other than stopping renewing it.
There is also an option for no renewal.
Actually there is - I'm not exactly sure how I did it but I recently cancelled one (just prior to the expiry) and I received an email with a link that I dutifully clicked (confirming my cancellation) after which the KS disappeared from the dashboard/dropdown and pretty much was unavailable to me from then on (irrespective of the expiry date being a few days out).
Fortunately I had finished everything I wanted to do with it and had wiped the disk as well.
They both have 4G and same CPU from what I can see. I would not need the extra TB..
It's the KS-1 that has 2GB of ram. Per checkservers.ovh they are actually available in GRA right now! Grab one if you want it since they don't show up that often.
I have a KS-2E and it is fine by the way. The cpu is adequate for normal file transfers, logging in and messing with stuff, etc. It's not suitable as a compute server but I don't use it for that. It's just for backup storage.
