WOW
Yo I ardently am a fan boy of Ryzen 7000 series, but can' not afford the dedi anyway
Can some kind heart lads share the benchmark with me?
Offer price does not include drives, but still very cheap with drives. What is the catch?
Not this new offer, but here is a yabs for Ryzen 9 7900 by another provider: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3697043/#Comment_3697043
@contabo_m
Finally a great offer of yours, esp. with the availability in all your locations!
Seems like RAID cannot be chosen when picking NVMe drives. Works fine with SSDs.
Where is US East hosted in Contabo? NY or WDC? I'm looking for something in WDC/VA
If the base config would include a disk, that would be nice.
Why a ryzen 9 7th gen costs the same like an outlet server with i7 1st gen?
In NY region (probably NJ?). They have NY, St. Louis and Seattle.
False advertising. and I hope mods will do something about it.
There is no way to get this server at €69.99 / month.
Base offer doesn't include disks and you cannot order without paying more than stated as "priced from X".
Next up they'll remove RAM from base option and say "priced from €19.99 / month".
If you cannot sell working machine at X price, you dont say pricing starts from X price. Simple.
on top of that
Home › News ›. This is clearly an offer post.Maybe if you ask support they can deploy it manually without form and forced disk... and you can just RAMdisk shit! /s
You should also need to work for your current clients.
Most of your vps nodes are oversold in these days.
When someone ask for move to other node you just waste time instead of moving vps to other node.
Plus you cannot choose SW Raid 10 even with 4 drives... The order form needs some improvements
I contacted their sales in regards to this, apparently their system does not support automatic RAID on NVMe drives for some reason so that has to be manually setup.
Apparently 70 EUR converts to 90 USD. Extra 20% conversion fee.
I believe their pricing is fixed and doesn't use EUR as a base currency. So 90 USD is the price regardless what the EUR/USD exchange rate will be in the future.
No port/bandwidth upgrade options it seems?
And can you clarify this:
So outbound traffic is free but inbound counts against our 32TB?
On the contrary, they use Eur as a base, we are doing the same, therefore a large margin to protect against sudden forex rate changes is taken. Any customer should be able to pay in Eur, even if based in the US, their bank will do the exchange at the rate of the time.
I can understand how this is complicated and needs adjusting for corporate customers, but those could afford the USD cost, even at 20%+ difference because accounting and stuff might cost more.
Singapore 7900 is so oversold that the network is crazy laggy at night
You are in which timezone?
Server or Network issue?
Lol. They now even hide the ping if it exceed 150 on their website, then give a fake "Good Latency" label.
Singapore.
It is indeed False advertising, maybe LET can do something about this @DP ?
yes you are right --- crazy laggy at night--contabo oversell
@contabo_m Its been more than a week since I could access my server with SSH or any other way. The server is actively running, but I couldn't access it. I tried all DIY and KB methods. It says the connection timed out, and Contabo Support says there is some issue and maintenance going on at my server location, and please don't contact us again for same reason till it is resolved. 😐
Don't laugh, brother. 😑😅, Can somebody help me with this thing? This was my demo testing the EU server for a Python script, and I forgot to download the logs of my script. I need that file.
Yeah, clearly this advertisement lacks clarity when it comes to conveying the product's base specification and pricing information.
It says it starts from €69.99, but there's no way to get it at that configuration and price, since it doesn't come with a disk
The cheapest configuration you can possibly end up with would be €79.98, and that's if you opt for the 1TB SSD (€9.99).
I'll update the price in the OP for now.
If I've made a mistake, please let me know ✌️
At least not practically. I agree, that's misleading.
And it's not at all necessary because if, supposed, they threw in a 480 GB SSD and sold the thing for €74.99, it still would be a very attractive offer!
Well, whatever, my first thoughts wrt the product itself:
Plus:
Minus:
Unclear: They offer IPMI/KVM access at additional cost, so how are customers supposed to setup/config their server? Unless they have a satisfying answer to that I'd see that as a show stopper.
Hunch: they want to grow and want to use as stair step an "optimized" offer. "Optimized" as in "strip the product almost completely down so as to make an very attractive offer possible" (and then add on even normal things like disks and IPMI at a price).
@DP
Cheapest averaged out monthly cost would be €74,14666666666667 if I’m not way off, adding the 1TB SSD but paying yearly
I’m not very keen on the ”advertise a monthly price and require yearly payment” so your price makes more sense, but ~€74 anyway is how cheap this can get with a single SSD
@jsg
I agree 100 %. The offer is good enough, no need for nonsense. The LET community, especially those that’d be interested in a dedi like this, aren’t going to be fooled by such advertising I don’t think
Better to just have the starting price and base config include double NVMe drives in RAID1, and have yearly payment as well as removing one of the drives simply discount the advertised price
AMD Ryzen 9 7900
64 GB REG ECC (128 GB for €19.99 extra)
2 x 1 TB NVMe SSD (upgrades and downgrades avaliable)
32 TB Bandwidth (inbound excluded)
€95.97 / mo paid monthly or €90.14 / mo paid anually
@contabo_m next time I’ll bill you
