Unrealistic request

dahartigan

I have an unreasonable and unrealistic request, I hope someone can accept this stupid but 100% serious challenge.

You basically need to match my 2TB SYS ARM dedi, but it can be a VPS and doesn't need to be dedicated.

Here's the request:

KVM or dedi
2 CPU (cores, threads, vCPU, potatoes)
2GB RAM
2TB HDD (I'm fine with block storage/SAN)
250mbit unlimited (can be 100 unlimited for all I care, shit 10TB would probably even be too much)
Located preferably in OVH Canada, second choice OVH anywhere else.

$5.99 USD per month (not interested in yearly)

Thanks for your time and have a good day!

Why do you want to move out? It sounds like a great deal :0

Hi,
We can do it for $6.00.
However it will locate in Your Dream rather than OVH.
If you are interesting in this offer, please do not pm me, just go to your bed. Thanks

Edit: I remember there was one time that KS dedi was that price... (but you have to pay setup fee).

Edit2: The KS-3 flash sales threads here and here, however, it's 5.99€ a little bit over the budget.

@dahartigan - y tho OVH, is that a hard requirement?

You are of course already aware of teh usual suspects offering other locations: letbox, hosthatch, wishosting

Don't want to move out, I would just like to run Proxmox and some LXCs.

I'll put it very bluntly, OVH haven't seemed to notice/care if I download a few torrents.

Thanks for your replies so far guys :-)

Learning from @FAT32 we should all aspire for or ask for something unrealistic impractical that seems unbelievably ridiculous, but sometimes providers do give in or come close.
Should plan out my wish as well.

Can’t you just run it on your current dedi?

If the dedi wasn't an ARM chip sure :-)

Did someone mentioned deals?

It is fun but sometimes have to take into consideration providers lives matter. #ProvidersLivesMatter

I like that hashtag.

Provider's don't need to each much, as long as they eat enough to stay awake 23 hours a day to deal with support requests.

I'm sure they will be fine with a 15p bag of crisps each month bought with the profit of a sale on LET.

@dahartigan - good luck with your budget and all that - it seems like a long shot to me but never say never I guess? While I am rooting for you to score a Christmas miracle deal with some promotional (if not entirely sustainable) price ... it does occur to me that holding out for a deal on a cheap Kimsufi might be your best bet in the long run - given the perhaps unique suitability of OVH for your use case (lol)

$15 or $20 per month is a multiple of that $5.99/m budget but I think possibly better value if you (sooner or later) can snag something like (for example) the flash sale KS-10 (i5-2300 - 16GB DDR3 1333 MHz - 2To SATA) in BHS that caught my eye maybe a year or 2 ago. (I got it for $14.99/m plus about the same one-time setup fee, and have been enjoying doing a modest amount of i/o and CPU work on it daily ever since).

Though I imagine the 100 mbits vs 250 mbits port speed (etc network quality for kimsufi vs SYS) might make a significant difference for you? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

my short list of VPS providers offering BHS locations are extraVM, Lunanode, and wishosting - all excellent value but none really in your requested budget or even all that suitable for your specific use case IMO.

Maybe OVH cloud would scratch that itch for on-demand containers without adding too much to your budgie?

Anyway - looking for let's say more lassez-faire but perhaps less established OVH resellers sounds like good clean lowend fun but also can add an amortized uncertainty premium ... I guess it all comes out in the wash, but personally I would be most optimistic about possible (eventual) flash sale allowing upgrade to another SYS deal that supports your virtualization needs.

tl;dr: good luck and happy hunting!

@uptime as always good sir, thank you :-)

I know this is a stupid longshot, but if it plays out and there's no deal to be had, I just keeps me ARM dedi and pays me 5.99 a month and yar yar yarrr she blows matey.

@dahartigan just got @uptime 'd . Contrary to what the statement might seem to most, this is not a game of one upman/upwomanupship*. If you get Uptimed, you have received perspectives and insights that would escape the majority of folks. And that is a good thing :-)

RemoteControl

Online.net is offering those specs for 7$/month for a dedi.

Went with a kimsufi 2tb atom in France, 4 cores with 4gb of ram on unlimited 100mbit works just fine for me. Now the dilemma: idle both or transfer out the sys? :-)
