inquiry for the solid providers

I have searched the "offer" tag in this site, there are really dozens of providers who seem to run products with good reputation. May I ask your suggest for finding a solid provider? I need a AMD core, 1GB ram, and 50GB ssd or nvme disk. KVM architecture, and 1 IPv4 in the US. $20/y budget. I have several VPS in providers here, they had outages every month. I don't like to see this. So I want to find a more robust one. Thanks.

    The truth is you'll probably have to pay more, especially for more robust uptimes/redundancy.

    Your budget barely covers what most providers charge for an additional IPv4 these days (if even). To deliver all that you're asking for at $1.6/mo is cutting it pretty razor thin, unless the underlying infrastructure/support is as equally "razor thin". The alternative is just accepting that it might be quite oversold (so you can't 50-100% the CPU core) and hoping the provider does a good job managing and maintaining/balancing load.

    Buy two cheap plans from here and and deploy failover.

    You need to raise your budget

    what do you think is the absolute lower limit of $ for the above searched for?

  • @angstrom said: You need to raise your budget

    I was thinking all budgets less than $30/y are OK to me

    That's more realistic

    What's tricky is the combination AMD + 50GB ssd

    i run a postgresql database on it.

    That's really tough. The cheapest we have (had) would meet/exceed all the criteria OP is asking for but it's on Xeon not AMD. Paid monthly it's $3/mo and yearly ~$2.85/mo. At one point we had a sale on them and I think it was down to $2.25/mo. I don't think you're going to get much below that range anymore, and if OP wants 100% SLA or something along those lines you just simply won't touch it at this price range.

    RackNerd's promotions are very competitive. In your place, if it were urgent and the budget were tight, I'd probably go with the following BF promotion from RackNerd:

    2.5GB KVM VPS
    2 vCPU Cores
    60 GB PURE SSD RAID-10 Storage
    2.5 GB RAM
    7000GB Monthly Premium Bandwidth
    1Gbps Public Network Port
    Full Root Admin Access
    1 Dedicated IPv4 Address
    KVM / SolusVM Control Panel - Reboot, Reinstall, Manage rDNS, & much more
    Available in Multiple Locations
    JUST $28.55/YEAR - WOW!!
    

    See https://www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/

    It's not AMD, but you get 2 vCores

    Just to give some insight from what’s possible from a providers point of view

    To get 1 year ROI on hardware here’s a price/specs example for a dedicated server

    AMD Ryzen 9 5950x
    128 GB DDR4 RAM
    2TB or more NVME Storage

    150 USD/month first year then 100 USD/month

    Additional IPv4 block is added at 0.4 USD per IP. (12 USD for a /27 or whatever)

    Say a provider buy this and can fit 150 1 GB VPS in it. Their cost would be around:

    VPS hardware: 12.5/yr
    IPv4: 4.8/yr

    In total 17.3 USD per year is their cost. After year 1 it would be 13.1 USD per year.

    Tbh it’s doable. Especially if I would offer Ryzen KVM. My costs would be much much less

    why do you need an AMD cpu for running postgres?

    But the costs for a provider normally go beyond hardware + IP costs. For example, if a provider wants to be responsive to tickets when there's an issue, this will require a support staff, which will be an additional cost

    (If I recall well, there were a number of complaints about your responsiveness)

    This came up as a discussion in the VirtFusion discord, and I can confirm this pricing was not very logical. He was using eBay second hand hardware, including looking at RDIMM's when this requires UDIMM's, which are more expensive.

    Sure, $100 a month is possible when you're single homed to Cogent in a datacentre in Houston, Texas. Any provider wanting to employ people, have good support, use good facilities with a good network blend, is charging at least double for the hardware he has mentioned.

    We can help meet your requirements for a higher budget, if you're interested for VM's in Hong Kong or the UK.

    Solid providers are not low end. Salaries need to be high in order to care about customer.

    The list is very short:

    • rackspace
    • liquidweb
    • bluehost (yes!)
    • carbon60

    These are monsters. But you will definitely get some personal asmr attention. And no shity whmcs...
