Very cheap dedicated server (or KVM/XEN) + 4 IPs
Hey,
Later edit:
Here's the NEW request: a VDS provider that can offer ~50GB of storage, ~2GB RAM, 4 IPs, at a max price of 15eur/month (tax included).
Right now I'm paying 4x512MB RAM & 20GB SSD (total: 2GB RAM & 80GB SSD) @ DigitalOcean (15eur/month), which are great, but I would like more control. So a single KVM/XEN container + OpenVZ "on top" would do the trick.
Initial request:

I'm looking for a very cheap dedicated server in order to host some backup nameservers (DNS Only) and a backup SolusVM installation.
This Online.net offer would be great, but they're out of stock. Also this OVH offer would be great, but they are also out of stock.
I need to install OpenVZ because DNS Only needs to have a "fresh install", also SolusVM is asking for the same thing. I've read that installing OpenVZ "on top" of KVM/XEN is possible, but I can't find any provider that offers more than 1 IP/host.
Any ideas where/who could offer me such a service? Thanks!

Whats your specification and budget like?
While OVH are out of stock
for goodmaybe for a long time, Online.net was spotted to periodically add stock, when they were just "opening internationally" there was some added almost every day. Also it says "Available on request", so maybe try contacting them and "requesting". Or at least asking when.hi how about you try protomeus kvm cloud
you can get more than 1 ip on that
You can get the $39 deal, comes with 4 IP's;
http://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/ks1.xml
10-15eur/month (15-20usd/month).
I couldn't find any email address on their website. Any ideas?
Can you please specify again the provider? I couldn't find anything regarding "protomeus kvm"
To expensive for my basic needs.
Any other recommendations? Thanks!
Can you post your exact requirements?
~200GB of storage, ~2GB RAM. Something similar with the two links I've specified when starting the discussion.
For $20 i could offer some Atom. However no KVM on Atom. Only OpenVZ or Xen is possible.
Not sure if it's sold out but you can ask them..
the $19.95 X2 is a good deal! If you need to install KVM make sure you ask them for a virtual capable CPU.. so intel vt or amd-v.
http://volumedrive.com/vdrive/?a=dedicated
Just to add.. the atom and nano cpu from OVH and online.net will not be KVM capable but you can install proxmox if you only need to install ovz guest..
there is also digicube if you need something in europe.. starting@ 11,00 € HT/mois, but i never tried them.
http://www.digicube.fr/rapidserveurs
Probably means Prometeus' iwStack: http://www.iwstack.com/
Can you please PM me with more details?
Looks great, thanks!
Do they offer extra IPs? I couldn't find anything about this on their website.
If you have any other recommendations please keep 'em coming! Thanks!
Yeah, check the bottom of the price calculator page ("Additional public IP").
http://www.iwstack.com/price-calculator/
13eur/month = 2GB RAM + 4 vCPU + 4 IPs. Until now they are looking the best. Any idea what technology are they using? I'm reading that XEN + OpenVZ is better than KVM + OpenVZ.
If you have any other ideas please keep them coming! Thanks!
@$20/m your options are somewhat limited, but if you can do $30 then there is ovh.ca(but only 1 IPV4 no upgrade possible) or wholesaleinternet..

by now oneprovider.com is reselling cheap online.net dedis:
for 9€: the Dell Nano U2250 (1,6 Ghz, 2 Gb ram, 160 Gb disk.)
you can create OpenVZ slices with Proxmox provided in the online.net panel
for €20, if you can push your budget there, a former online.net box, a Proliant DL120 (core i3, 4 Gb ram, 2x1T raid1).
VIA Nano U2250 1.6Ghz VS iwStack 2GB RAM + 4 vCPU + 4 IPs <<< which one do you recommend?
@prometeus or @Maounique could probably talk about running OpenVZ on top of KVM or Xen, but iwStack is KVM.
Unless you need to hammer the CPU all the time I would personally lean towards iwStack over a cheap dedi for reliability reasons -- iwStack has genuine high-availability/fail-over with redundant SAN storage; a cheap (<$20) dedi's likely running aged hardware with a single hard drive.
I was thinking the same. Do you know if a "stack" can be upgraded/downgraded?
How much storage did you input in their calculator? 13EUR will only get you 12GB, nowhere near your 200GB requirements.
Yeah, you can upgrade and downgrade everything except the root disk size (though you can add and resize additional disks) through the management console. Also can take snapshots, which is really handy.
I think the one-time 20% off coupon IWSTACK20 is still valid for the remainder of the month, too.
If you only need to create OVZ guest.. you can buy any KVM VPS, install debian and then install proxmox on top..
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Wheezy
you can create multiple ovz containers, use NAT, or buy more IP's.. you just cannot create KVM guest within proxmox.
Right now I'm using ~20 GB. I've stated "200 GB" in order to keep it at a "max". In reality I don't think I'll use more than 40 GB in the next quarter.
So you're saying that I can't upgrade disk space? I basically need space for the /vz directory. Sorry but I'm not familiar with their infrastructure/services.
If you have any other recommendations please let me know! Here are my requests again:
a machine (physical or virtual) that allows me to install OpenVZ
~40 GB of storage
~2 GB of RAM
4 IPs
I'll use the machine in order to host a SolusVM installation and some backup DNS Only instances.
I suppose there's no way of using the same IP for multiple containers, so I'm kinda stuck with a provider that can offer me an IP for each container. Right?
You can't resize the disk the OS is installed on, basically. But you can set it up like there's two hard drives, and put the OS on one small disk with everything else (/vz) on a larger and resizable secondary one. It is a little annoying but easy to work around.
I missed your 200GB post, though... that would push the price way up.
Got it, thanks!
Regarding the 200 GB, as stated before...I'm using less than 30 GB right now so - thinking forward - in reality I think I'll basically use ~40 GB for /vz data. That "200 GB" request was just for the sake of comparison.
you can use NAT and iptables.. so you can create containers with private IP's that use ports to connect to from the external IP..
Say your public IP is 12.34.56.78 and you created a CT with a private IP of 192.168.0.2 then to connect from the internet you assign a port from your external IP say 102 which forwards to say port 22 on your private IP, so to connect to SSH on 192.168.0.2 in putty you would input 12.34.56.78 with port 102 and it will connect to ssh port of CT 192.168.0.2
If you can do $39, we're offering a box that'll work great for KVM or Xen virtualization.
Intel Xeon L5420 2.5Ghz, 8GB fully buffered registered memory, 500GB SATA, 10TB bandwidth on a 100mbit port, 2 usable IPs and IPMI included free of charge (remote OS reloads, remote console, remote reboots, etc).
Reference this post in the comments section of the order form and we'll add 4 additional usable IPs at no extra cost.
This server will be hosted in our Seattle facility (Westin Building) with a BGP mix of Level3 and AboveNet bandwidth. Test IP: 66.113.106.1
Use this link to place an order.
If you think storage will not be >40, an alternative could be simply 4 VPS. For instance
https://comstownit.de/servers
1G ram, 40 Gb disk 4€ each, so 16€ for 4.
Or also 4 VPS each at different providers/networks.
you should get 40GB disk + 2GB RAM + 4 vCPU + 4IPs at ~ 16 euros from iwstack.
i mean iwstack
