Looking for BF Deal AMD/8GB+/100GB (Student)

Hey,
On Black Friday 2021 I purchased a Windows VPS which I started using to watch Twitch and sometimes check pc stuff while on phone.
In August 2022 I have started an apprenticeship as a software developer (I earn pennies).
I also received a MacBook M1 and realized how useful the Windows VPS actually is.
My usage is about hour-ish daily, checking emails, LET, private stuff and fixing some bugs and issues. This is very useful because I basically have a full (private) pc with me every day anywhere I go (MacBook, phone or random coworker pc)
Lately I have been needing more power. I’m happy with what I got, but maybe someone can offer a better deal?
This VPS gets used for following things:
- Sending and Receiving emails (using thunderbird) from another server, I don’t host email.
- using 1password and managing things (web accounts, passwords, etc)
- youtube, phub, watching twitch to get drops.
- word, documents, excel sheets, all the office and school work you can imagine
- firefox and browsing, will be used for looking stuff up, doing research and whatever I need.
- vscode and whatever other dev tools I use. Compiling stuff (rarely) developing stuff and generally creating things.
- remote access and IT help. So many many wireguard tunnels, rustdesk, parsec, teamwiever, syncthing etc.
There will be no illegal activity or illegal files stored. Legit School/Work/Dev PC.
Specs I want:
- CPU: beefy, will be used to the max because windows sucks. (why this post exists I guess)
- IPv4: mandatory, ip must be clean. No blacklists or BS
- IPv6: mandatory, ip must be clean. No blacklists or BS
- RAM: 8gb minimum (16gb is what I’m looking for and 24gb - 32gb is better but focus on non shitty cpu)
- Storage: SSD (duh?) 150gb-250gb would be good, but 100gb is okay
- GPU: wouldn’t say no, but obviously can’t afford at this price range?
- Software: Windows server 2022, can buy my own key for whatever peanuts it costs. You can provide your own, I don’t care, I want 0 spyware and your crappy preinstalled crap to “change password from the web GUI”
- Privacy: no shitty software installed, no spying, will try to encrypt files anyways (LET, can you help?). No sketchy stuff. Don’t want my birth cert leaked lol.
- Bandwidth: 1TB is plenty, give me 2TB because i won't use it anyways
- Location: the closer to Frankfurt Germany the better (further location possible if the deal is absolute killer)
- Networking: minimum 250/100 always there. Preferred 10gig shared or 1gig dedicated, I don’t really care tbh, flexible.
- uptime: 99.86% I allow you 12h per year of downtime.
- deadpool/exit scam: please let me know 10 days before server is gone so I can pull my data. an email is enough, will be kept confidential.
- Your Company: you must be in business for at least 2 years. I don’t want some shitty/sketchy stuff. Be legit please. I'll do a quick google, let please give 2 cents on the sellers if you see.
- Trial: 5 days trial (if possible?)
- Recurring: yes, duh?
Paying plan and cost:
80€ yearly or 25€ quarterly or 10€ monthly
choose whichever you want, I have no preference. I want something good.
Charge me at 2nd using paypal and you’ll get the money every time. (any other paying plan I dislike) Card is possible but not preferred.
What is possible? I’d love a killer deal because Black Friday. But I don’t want to beg for a killer deal that’s unsustainable, must be recurring, both seller and buyer must be happy.
or ping RackNerd, maybe Dustin is insane enough to ship a server to Netherlands/Germany/France and dedicate it to me for 80€ per year or 25€ quarterly or 10€ monthly (one can dream lol, plus unprofitable lol)
What can you offer and still be happy?
if i don't find anything till 30th i'll extend my normal service on 1st
it's 8gb, meh epyc x4, 120gb and really good networking
i'm preferably looking for excellent cores, 16gb, good provider

I understand very well your request.
KVM
4 vCore CPU - C1V Basic
16GB DDR4 ECC RAM
SSD 250GB
GPU VirtIO GPU
Custom ISO (bring your OS)
4TB @ 1Gbps
Recurring price: €82,03/year vat included
Please provide Bank Transfer
4 vCore CPU - C1V Basic
please tell me more, my current VPS has this (sadly no specs)
but i would like more power
dedicated? shared? does not matter, just curious
then 5 vCore CPU
It is E5-2698v4
Shared
Here's a offer:
4 vCore AMD Ryzen 5950X
8 GB DDR5 ECC RAM
200 GB NVMe Gen4
10 TB Bandwidth @ 1 Gbps shared
IPv4 and IPv6/64
Falkenstein, Germany
€8.99/month or €80/year
sorry will pass, the cpu is just not what i'm looking for (want amd epyc/ryzen)
what would I need to offer for 16gigs ram and more cpu? windows is heavy and currently the 4 millan cores (unsure how to check tbh)
Geekbench 6.2.1 for Windows AVX2 (with bunch of stuff in background)
single 1200
multi 4200
Double up on specs would be €14/month.
will think about it, definetly more than my budget
would a 5 day trial be possible? would like to test the vcores
still have till 30th to decide, so maybe more offers will appear
Out of curiosity why not just use an old laptop and throw chrome remote desktop on it, keeping it plugged in at home all the time.
more expensive, less power, shitty internet, electricity/internet down is more common
for AMD 5950X, you will get almost double for single and multi core speed. 5950x for single core around 2100++
thanks ! but it's vcpu so i assume it's still less power? not fully sure how vcpu is limited
could also get same cpu but more ram and worst case upgrade later, he's prob fine with that
for now will wait, maybe there will be other offers.
Bro You wrote a novel here , and i see you got pretty good deals give the money and you got the pizza. Thats it your not buying home but a vps
meh, try to be more personal and humanly than a monke beeing like vps, 2188cores 2318gb 7$
I can be humanly but asking for a novel vps for pennies its a lux gl.
my current offer is 4c millan/8gb/100smh ssd and really good networking for like 70smth euro a year
ask your employer to pay you more.
More than likely this configuration offered by @labze should be enough.
4 vCore Ryzen 5950x is pretty powerful.
-- Programming in Windows since NT days
yes, not NT but yeah, have my reasons for windows
just unsure of the vcores:
but yeah, would need to test the vcore, depends how many people are on my instance
I am using Windows since NT days , currently using Windows Server 2022.
Mostly programming in C#, Python and MS SQL.
what is the configuration are you using right now?
I bet, 4x Ryzen vCore is much more powerful.
if you are planning to have multiple users logged in at same time then go for dedicated cores options and 16gb memory
But that use cases, it feels, is different from how you are using VPS right now.
milan 4 cores 1200 geekbench and 4200 multi
yupp 2-3 users
this is why im looking for that config, on 8gb it's tight
Then your budget should be according to new use case, you can not base that on current usage.
My suggestion would be,
16gb with 4x dedicated Ryzen cores
And yes, have budget accordingly
See how 2 Ryzen vCores > > 4 milan vCores
thanks for info, but i think my milans are dedicated tho? the privider gives little info...
but yeah, guess 4 vcores would be still double...
will consider his offer, still hoping a little there will be more offers
guess what, these 2 vCores are dedicated as well
I can use them 100% with no restrictions
That is why I suggested in my earlier post
@labze @DeadlyChemist
https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3753006/#Comment_3753006
it's a mess, will thin about it 10-15€/month is a lot of dedication and definetly a hit on my budget
could also keep the one i have but meh
@DeadlyChemist
in my opinion, this offer from @labze is better than your current meh vps
even after considering the fact that vCores are not dedicated

hm, agreed
so will either use this, the bigger plan or another provider if someone else comes along
but guess quitting my meh one
will let the company im quitting them soon
