Just looking for VPS (possible bundles, possible prepay x months, cheap ....)

NeoonNeoon Community Contributor, Veteran

Hey,

For my route bender I am looking as the title says.
Anything in Mayor Cities, close to a big IX or submarine cable landing station, good connection to ASIA, China, US, Africa, Antarctica, Mars.....

Specs
- 1 Core ( can be shared, expected usage somewhat 2-5% on average, preferably dedicated, can be capped at 25% don't need more either)
- 256MB+ Memory
- 5GB+ Storage, can be anything HDD,SAS,SSD or NVMe does not really matter since most of it is cpu and network related.
- 100Mbit+ Uplink
- Dualstack (IPv4 and IPv6) or IPv4/IPv6 only, mainly used for IPv4 transit/exit but v6 can be used as Transit, so fine too
- KVM, XEN-HV or VMWare should work too, because the machine needs its own routing table, I don't know what exactly needs to be enabled for OVZ to allow it to use its own routing table. I have one container that is Virtuozzo (OVZ) where it works fine, however the numproc limits are pissing me off, due to the user space wireguard implementation spawning multiple threads which apparently are counted towards the same numproc limit.
- Traffic 400GB+ since the network burns on idle 200-300GB ish, depending on size.
- No M247 or network backhaul

Budget
- I am a cheap fuck, so anything up to 2€/m, 3€/m if reasonable (exotic location, exotic traffic mix, IPv9)

The application is latency sensitive and cpu steal sensitive, so low density nodes, not selling to the roof would be nice. Most of the time it works out fine, even with cheapish machines.

The goal of the network is to deliver the lowest possible latency, to a specific given target, so it does reroute traffic automatically if there is higher latency or a packet loss however for the network to be stable in general most of the links need to be stable as well.

Thanks for reading, lemme know if you have anything.

Thanked by 1Ganonk

    I’ve made available recently a few more of our £15/year micro VPS which seems to fit your needs. 1C/1G/20GB SSD/2TB@200mbps - UK based.

    Certainly, however the cloudiver vps I got already in London seems to have better connectivity already, according to my diagnostic tool with your IP you posted.

  • There are $5 CAD VPS out there.

    I had CAD, does not seem to bring any benefit, except you are connecting from this location, most of the traffic goes via NY anyway or ASH, which I am still looking to grab a VPS.

    Depend on provider, in Canada there are basically the big 4 ISP, Shaw, Rogers, Telus and Bell. And Rogers is attempting to buy out Shaw.
    Bell peers only with US ISPs, so your traffic will go to USA first. https://bgp.he.net/AS577#_peers
    What you want is to find out the IP range of the VPS providers and check their peers and what routes they take.

    It also depends on what you're connecting to. If the resource is located in USA, of course your traffic will go there. So ideally you'll want to check what your resource peers with as well.

    256MB annual VPS can be had had for 20% off the annual cost. Normally $25/yr, now just $20/yr in Naaldwijk, Netherlands with Worldstream. LG: https://lg-nl.incognet.io/

    If that seems suitable for your use, use coupon KO0G9A5HOY

    KVM, v4/v6, low density nodes, etc. The city is about 50 miles from Amsterdam so I'm not sure how well the location will work for your need, but I'd be willing to spin you up a VM for you to test if you'd like.

    Can you share this? :)

    Still no, as long you don't connect from CA.
    The basically principal is, lowest possible latency.

    Means, figures show you, you going to waste latency by going through a CA vps just to reach your CA target, its better to exit from NY or LON, AMS.

    NY is sadly the point where most transatlantic cables land and not CA.

    Like I mentioned, it all depends on where you're connecting to. BGP routing and peering tells you what path you'll take. If you give us which IP you're trying to connect to we can check the peers.

    The Project runs its own BGP Stack (OSPF), to avoid for example my shitty ISP and shit Routing, so yes I am aware and what I said above, applies because of this.

    We can recommend @aveline (https://misaka.io/) if you need top-notch network performance and extremely responsive NOC ;)

    Pricing might be a bit hard to hit if you are looking for exotic locations :(

    Just reach out to him to see if anything can be done :D

    I know them, however way over budget.

  • @Neoon try reaching out to @freerangecloud - they have an Ashburn location (see https://iad01.lg.freerangecloud.com/)

    They usually have something on offer during the Christmas/New Year period.

  • @Neoon Ashburn is definitely a good choice. maybe ask racknerd for a special, pretty sure he can come up with something within your budget and plenty of traffic ^^

    also leaseweb is rock solid there, however... over your budget I guess. as well as Hetzner but you surely looked at those anyway.

    maybe aws lightsail may be an option too. US east afaik is virginia. smallest is $3.50 but 3 month trial and if you attend some of their events every now and then and fill in a questionaire, there are vouchers you know ;-)

    Leaseweb is good stuff got one with a Resller @rustelekom, decent pricing too, cheaper than Leaseweb, Sadly they only resell one Location.

    AWS is good stuff too, regarding routing and performance, right now I am still looking If I can find something around 2$ range will see.

    I got 29 servers running the network, so budget is tight to even make this possible, if I would picked Vultr/DO I would likely be out of budget with a few machines.

    Still looking for more.

    Yea, I know them and use them for this Project, however they are over budget.

    Indeed, but this is just the software that checks if its worth it bending the routes or not.
