Dedicated Server for Plex in North America

ibk

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone is offering/could offer something like this in North America:

Budget: ~$60

CPU: Intel 7xxx series or newer with iGPU/QuickSync support or Intel Xeon v6 or newer with iGPU/QuickSync support (needs to support hardware decoding of 4K 10-bit, so Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake or newer)

Memory: 16GB or more

Storage: 480GB total or more (SSD or HD doesn't matter)

Network: 250Mbps+

Bandwidth: 10TB/month+

I currently have something similar at hetzner for $50USD/month and the connectivity to North America has been bad lately, and this is with NGINX reverse proxy behind cloudflare. Also tried Ikoula but had a horrible experience.

Thanks.

You can try colocation service from @DataIdeas-Josh and with a intel nuc with latest intel processor?because your storage requirements are less

@ibk Like codelock had mention. You could use an Intel Nuc or even something like a (Raspberry Pi (only good for direct streaming)) and our Micro Colo service. It starts at $10/month https://my2.dataideas.com/cart.php?a=add&pid=66

We are located in Spring, Texas (Just north of Houston)
