    I have 45 VM`s. Thinking to change the provider but i havent found cheaper

    ANYONE SUGGEST ME CHEAPER PLEASE

    Well you could get an extra core and unmetered 1gbit from Hostslick. There is definitely vps cheaper but depends on preferences

  • conceptconcept Member

    I have about 30 vps, 1 dedi spread across NA/EU for Tor Relays, Bridges and a bunch of other self hosted apps.

    Possible to get an yabs for it?
    Thank you in advance :)

    Sorry not english native, i dont understand what yabs means ? If you can be more open welcome. Regards

    After login to ssh, pass the following command
    curl -sL yabs.sh | bash
    or
    wget -qO- yabs.sh | bash
    And paste the output here.

    Thank you

    For what i use it its fast. The internet pretty well too. Im looking for anything cheaper at least $1 less will be fine. If anyone know let me know. Regards

    Cheaper to colo baby. Think about it (insert meme here). Do the math.

    Depends, I like being spread out across regions. I could buy a 1u e3 server for an "edge" location and then colo it for $50/month, or I could just grab a $10 VM that has roughly the same amount of power, and scale up/down as needed

    NEVER EVER... A $10 /MO VM will have more power than a FULL DEDI E3. You dont know what you are even saying.

    NEVER.

    NEVER.

    I currently pay ~$20/month for each E3 I have (currently 4). That includes a /30 of IPv4, power, 10T of bandwidth, etc. These prices are mostly possible because of power costs in the US compared to the EU. In the EU, increased cost of power alone would bring it up to ~$50ish (at least last time I checked). My E3 systems are pretty simple, just a 1270v3, 32g RAM, and a 240g SSD. I use maybe 80GB of storage on each, so ~100gb storage would be fine. I mostly went with 240G for the extra endurance. I stopped the workloads currently running on one of my E3 systems so I could bench it for you (I know the SSD is slow, it's an older datacenter drive and I had a lot of spares).

    When it comes to scalability, something like Hetzner Cloud bills you hourly for compute, so it's totally within reason to scale up compute if you anticipate a large workload coming. This doesn't take too long either, and you're billed for the compute you actually use. This isn't what I do, but it's an option.

    For locations that I don't want to be physically present in, I currently have several VMs from HostHatch, which work out to $9/month per VM. There are downsides, but they're honestly pretty manageable. Main one is RAM, as these only have 20GB of ram as opposed to 32. In practice this really means next to nothing for me, since I generally use around 18GB of ram consistently. Could be an issue for some though, so I'll concede there. Another issue is the storage. They give you 100GB, but that 100GB is redundant (RAID 10 I believe) and is also NVMe, which absolutely wipes the floor with the SATA drives that a lot of E3 systems will be using. I only use 80GB of storage, so 100GB is fine, but for some this may pose an issue. Final issue is compute. These VMs have 4 CPU cores each, and the E3 has 8 (if we view "cores" like how VM providers do, and count each thread as a core). However, due to the differences in platform, the 4 core VM is able to outbench the E3 across the board.

    Overall, not bad when you remember the VM cost half as much, and I didn't even need to buy and ship a server either (consider those "setup fees"). I didn't actually need to buy anything as I have several spare E3 systems, but I'd say that anyone trying this at home doesn't have a bunch of datacenter gear in their basement. Just for even more fun, I have a VM with almost the exact specs of my E3 (except the VM has a 40G port and 4x the traffic limit) that I pay $19/month for. It's curently running one of my production workloads and I didn't care enough about winning an internet argument to shut down prod to prove my point, so the CPU and disk performance is a decent bit lower.

    I'd say that overall getting one of these VMs is a pretty reasonable alternative to getting a smaller dedicated server, unless your colo is free, you got the server for free, or both. I haven't noticed a peformance difference between the systems in real world workloads either. Before you say "well VMs are shared! You can't max out the CPU 24/7!" that is totally fair. These systems all have 50% permitted CPU usage allowed 24/7. I've needed to max the CPU for several hours at times and have had zero issues doing so. My workloads generally keep CPU at 40% anyways, if you're consistently running your systems at 80-90% load, a traffic spike will make your app fall over, so I'd say keeping 50% headroom is pretty alright.

    Ooops, I didn't think I had that many, but despite letting 4 go in the last couple of months, I still have 19 VPS in addition to my 2 dedis! :open_mouth:

    I might start having to be ruthless with some of the more expensive VPS instances...
