How much would you pay?

FlorinMarian

Howdy!
I intend to diversify the range of services for HAZI.ro by adding for the first time specialized servers for games (we will also offer KVM servers, not actual games) and for a start we want to buy a server that contains:

• Ryzen 7950X
• 128GB RAM DDR5 5200MHz
• 36TB Storage Datacenter edition
• 4TB Storage NVMe M2 Samsung 980 PRO

Being the first time we offer services with such exclusive hardware, we do not have a clear idea of how much people would be willing to pay for these resources.

I thought of the following price scheme:

• 5 euros for each dedicated vCPU (4.5GHz -> 5.7GHz) and 2.5 euros for each shared core
• 2 euros for each GB of RAM
• 1 euro for each 15GB NVMe
• 1 euro for each 100GB SATA

I accept any kind of suggestions and questions because my topic can be useful to others who have or will have similar intentions.

EDIT: This server will be hosted in Romania.

Best regards, Florin.

"build your own plan" specs come with a risk. When someone comes along and buys 16 cores with 1GB of ram and 15gb nvme you've leased the whole server out for 83EUR, with all the ram and disk going to waste.

Hello!
I didn't say that we offer the option to make such configurations, I meant that the built packages will basically have exponents of this base price.

Thank you for your feedback!

High performance gaming clients don't use virtualized servers, the best option is bare metal servers.

I need to consult @cociu on this before I can answer.

I would have agreed with you if I didn't have almost all OVH Game resources permanently sold

Good luck with your sales!

Let's look at a tangible LET example: 1 shared vCore, 1 GB RAM, 22 GB NVMe plus what connectivity and traffic volume is included? = 2.50 + 2 + 1.50 = 6 €/mo

That's a bit meee (expensive, looking from low-end perspective), but yeah, I get ít, it's a beast processor.

Then price out some example packages so people can see what you'd offer.
