would prefer raid storage and anti-deadpool protection
Thank you for feedback!
This is why I've created this topic, to improve our further steps.
In terms of pricing, 300GB 15K SAS has exactly same pricing as 600GB 10K SAS.
Because both configurations required 2x Drives + 2x Caddies, we don't have anything to lose if we swap to RAID1 with each disk shared between 2 customers.
Now, we're very tempted with that huge server with 1TB RAM and 120 threads 2.50 GHz (3.10 GHz boosted) with 24x SSD slots.
We really don't know if LET people loves Space or amount of vCPU/RAM at lower pricing possible.
Best regards, Florin.
usually storage vps attracts torrenters and maybe some people doing backups or running websites. if you want to target that audience, then romanian storage vps works well. many people on let would appreciate cheap storage vps, but in that case you would need to make it super cheap, or at least competitive with others such as hosthatch (although you would have the selling point of ignoring dmca)
if you want to offer great price to performance, LET users are always looking for a fast machine to idle. it's of course a saturated market, so you need to offer truly special pricing or something, although like i previously said, the dmca ignored part helps. mostly just build a solid brand with fair pricing, but don't go out of business trying to make the prices too low
People want storage and unlimited bandwidth in Romania, because of DMCA. Customers will use these for backups, VPNs, torrenting and even hosting DMCA data.
This storage-DMCA seat of LET has been left empty by HostSolutions, and it's a great marketing strategy if done right. Please focus on dirt-cheap storage in Romania, because it's something needed worldwide. Focus on what your location provides best.
Well, it's time to keep you updated.
We ordered our first physical server few minutes ago.
