  • How much will you pay me to use OpenVZ?

  • donlidonli Member

    Depends. How long before the provider goes bust?

  • $0.07/year only to keep it idle.

    One bazillion dollar. Oh wait, I have two 1TB VPS. And they are KVM. OpenVZ? No, thank you. ;)

    6 or 7?

    Obviously not more than $7/m (with proper virtualization).

    Within an OVZ container: Probably not more than $5/m.

    Sometimes there are great deals like that 8 TB dedi from Dacentec for $25, resulting in less than $5/TB - on a dedicated server, incl. n+1 HDD redundancy.

  • I am paying $4/month for my 1TB KVM storage VPS.

    I think it will be hard for a new host to get any traction with this product. I have a couple of such OpenVZ plans in the sub-$3/TB(?) range plus a HostHatch KVM at $3.33/TB and missed out on the most recent HH promo of $2.33/TB KVM. Any lower prices (or even the HH promo) are obviously unsustainable and I'd never buy at a lower price from a new host since I'd doubt their survival. On the other hand, if the price were equal or higher then I'd buy from an established host because why take chances with a new one?

    The thing is, moving a TB of data around is difficult, so buying such a plan probably means I want to keep it for a while, so the host has to stay around. It's easier to take chances with smaller plans since if something goes wrong you just shrug, rely on the backups you have elsewhere, and move on.

    No more than 2 bucks.

  • And what's going on with the rest of the server?

  • 7$ /month

  • I'd be interested in a product like Hetzner StorageBox at around $3 to $4 per TB if it was:

    • hosted in the US, preferably west coast
    • available in 1TB increments or smaller (250GB would be great)
    • raid-6 redundancy
    • 1 gbit connectivity that really could transfer at something like that speed (limited bandwidth is ok, say 3TB per month per TB of capacity since this is for backup/archiving)
    • available as a regular non-promo offer without frequent stock shortages
    • It is ok (desirable even) if the product is firewalled to a whitelist of 10 or so IP addresses, updatable through web 1x a day or so. That is, it doesn't have to be reachable by the general internet.
    • It is ok with me if it is ipv6-only but shared ipv4 is ok.

    This avoids a lot of issues with abuse, overload, cost of dedicated ipv4 addresses, etc. so it sounds like it could be sustainable by someone parking some colo hardware someplace.

  • Got one similar spec from Time4VPS during 50% off promotion, about 35 euro per year. I think about 50 euro/usd per month, with less RAM or cores.

    Sounds like fran block storage..

  • $6 if OpenVZ rubbish

    $7 for KVM

  • US$5 if it OpenVZ

  • KuJoeKuJoe Member, Host Rep

    That's similar to our plan but with half the RAM, people still ask for coupons even at $5.99/month so aim lower. :(

  • 5$ for openvz and 7$ for KVM

    Sort of, but that's $5/month, and while it's maturing it's still using tech that hasn't been around that long. I do have a 500gb slab though.

    KVM : $18/qtr

    I am cheep.

    Personally me will try to reduce cost by reducing:

    • 2 Cores -> 1 core
    • 2GB ram -> 128 - 256 - 512mb ram.
    • 1TB HDD
    • Gbit shared with 2TB will be okay.
    • 1-5 ipv6 without ipv4 or with shared ipv4 (NAT).

    Price: < 5$ / mo

  • $7 for me.

  • as a block storage addon: $4

  • If this is about storage drives for backups, then check out:-

    • BackBlaze 0.005$/GB or something
    • wasabi 6.50$/TB
    • AWS S3 0.02$/GB with download 0.10$/GB

    Why nobody provide plan with low mem&cpu, maybe without ipv4, but with 1TB? Only space for backups...

    hmmm do you perhaps mean something like the wishosting KVM NAT storage offer ?

    I like that one especially with the occasional promo bonus bump to 1.8 TB ... :)

    (For $6 the 1.8 TB deal I got a few months ago works out to $3.33 per TB. Which is nice.)

    EDIT2:

    Shared IPv4 (NAT) - but no IPv6

    250 mbit, unmetered, in Germany.

    1 GB RAM, 1 shared core

    EDIT3:

    As for OP's question ... for OpenVZ storage from an unknown provider ... mmmmm.

    Maybe $3 - but only if the network is fast my man.

    I could imagine that some people even ask for coupons if the service is free...

    It sounded to me like OP was considering offering a storage product. My response was that it seems like a difficult market to enter unless you're already involved in hosting.

    We did that, it didn't sell.
