Gcore Basic VM (Frankfurt, Manassas, Tokyo, and Hong Kong)

Some time ago Gcore released BasicVM line, premium quality for decent prices. (https://gcore.com/news/gcore-basic/)
The most interesting part is unmetered bandwidth(200Mbps), I'm not aware of any FUP's.
They are available in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Manassas, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. Making it a really nice deal for this amount of bandwidth and decent specs(starting at 1,4 eur + public ip cost + storage cost).
Intel® Xeon® 4314
SSD (up to 300Mbps)
Free Anti-DDoS
Really nice deal on Asia, and still good elsewhere.
They also got BGP, https://gcore.com/support/articles/360000221309/
Aaaand they are a part of CDN Alliance, so you got free bandwidth on backblaze etc to this server.

price is hardly low end though.
find a provider with 200Mbps unmetered bandwidth in tokyo at this pricepoint
there aint such thing as unmetered.
fine, its metered but free
They used to sell these 2GB ones for 15€.
Despite the price reduction, its still bloody expensive for 1GB.
its on pair with other premium providers, like vultr or google cloud but unlike them, it has free bandwidth.
It appears like the public IP costs 2.6 EUR/month, is that correct? Is there an option to not buy that and just use IPv6?
Secondly, why do you say "+ storage cost", if the screenshot lists 1.4 EUR/mo as including 25GB SSD?
In short, what is the final price per instance? Do not follow along with their BS marketing of "from 1.4 EUR" if this ends up being like 5.
My bad, then no storage cost.
I'm not aware of this, however you can use private networking and for example use one vm as a gateaway and do a nat or something.
the blog post says 5 eur, attached image was made by me, it does not include ip cost by default in "basic vm" tab, it does in normal "cloud" one.
haha i guess i got no argument for that.

G-Core CDN is part of it, not G-Core Compute.
They use the same network, but maybe ur right.
This is just a marketing strategy, the real price is not cheap
I've conctacted support just now to be sure
"Thank you for contacting Gcore.
As of yet, our partnership with Blackblaze offers services by delivering Backblaze-stored content via our CDN platform only."
So like I said its not for compute
Talking about this https://gcore.com/cloud/basic-vm, they have mentioned 100mbps ?
That's the magic, you won't know the limit until you hit it.
I can bet my naked vagina, that there is a limit.
Also BGP is 50€ when I recall it correctly.
The website says 100Mbps?
https://gcore.com/cloud/basic-vm
cloud.gcore.com has no IPv6 support, at least a year ago the support told me it was not supported.
This probably includes VAT: price starts at 1.2 EUR for VM + 2.5 EUR for a public IP address without VAT.
This is for dedis only, on ushosting.gcore.com (completely separate from cloud.gcore.com).
I love Gcore, totally confusing and they want Euro 20 advance non-refundable deposit to even configure a vm to know what they are offering.
They changed to 100Mbps
They changed it to 100Mbps?
For those curious if 200Mbps or 100Mbps here is the YABS (Manassas)
seems like they did
Do you have a discount code?
The performance of the basic VM was so poor compared to the regular Gcore compute. Also, I wanted to inquire if it is possible to detach IPv4 from the VM as the cost of a floating IP seems relatively high.
gCore is totally overpriced, besides they don't maintain their Plugin on github to e.g. interact with their APIs. Cannot recommend them.
