Looking for 100~ servers
I'm looking for around 100 dedicated servers that are at least comparable to an i7 8700 + iGPU, 64 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB NVMe / SATA SSD.
Since hetzner started to kick out larger customers, it's no longer an option for us. The price should be similar to their offerings. Anything similar is fine; AMD/Intel won't matter as long as there is some sort of GPU. Servers aren't used for mining or any high-bandwidth tasks.
I did some research already and contacted some providers, some were able to help me out, but getting such large amounts of servers ready seems to be an issue on its own. Hopefully someone here has some ideas 
Comments
Tell that to the marines.
Good luck finding something that cheap in that amount.
Hetzner started kicking out larger customers??
Yeah, i wonder why they would do that.
For smaller providers you could make the argument that if you lose that one big customer you lose a lot of revenue and have a lot of servers idling, but Hetzner isn't small.
Hetzner is deadpooling. This confirms my suspicions
Hmm, wouldn't they rather raise prices for the who-knows-time?
@Cesslor So why did they kick you out?
Or there was something shady about the operations of the customer?
That's obviously true but having a large client is still more revenue than not having a large client, isn't it? Well, at least unless the client does something that makes it unprofitable or there is an option to sell the freed servers at a higher price.
Yeah, its more about being a small provider that has like more than 50% rented out to one provider, if they stop being your customer you can say by by to your profits.
100 dedicated servers is close to 2 full racks.
It seems weird to me that they wouldn't just raise the prices and see who remains instead of kicking out legitimate and paying clients
If that's what they're doing
In any case i'm curious. There is a lot of guys lately looking for large amounts of servers. Actual expensive servers not cheap $1 VPS which will likely be used as proxies for either spamming or scraping. It's kinda mysterious.

So you think OP has been lying to us??
OP claims to not be mining, unless they're lying
i claim to be the president. Prove me wrong
Sorry, was replying to the guy asking what all these other people were using servers for. No idea what OP is doing
You're wrong
I see. It's still kinda interesting. I thought the days of the Monero + friends craze where long gone. Fun times. Well, at least unless you actually needed a server.
ID Verification?
I've heard from a few different users on discord that they got 30-45 day notices to leave. These people had $3-5k monthly bills. Most of them had streaming use cases and high traffic usage of around 100TB per month per server.
I'd say the closest option would be reliablesite. Maybe look into WSI, Nocix and some of the other midwest datacenters. In Europe, outside of mevspace its only OVH with their SYS and RISE offers.
Hmm, wouldn't they do this on signup and not after he became a big client?
If you give your budget and also if you are ready to pay for long term in advance we may be able to work out something, but not at Hetzner pricing.
But need information like what exactly are you going to use these servers for ?
Thanks
Yeah, Hetzner going after people that max their ports more or less 24/7 is pretty much old news (even if i thought 100TB wouldn't bother them yet but maybe it's the sheer amount of high traffic servers these people had) but according to OP it isn't that:
I hope I don't get kicked out of Hetzner then, unless I missed an email from them...
I'm not within the $3-$5k range however, hopefully I'm safe.
Any other info about that? I have such an account with hetzner and don't particularly want to move
This is what OP posted on another thread:
Sure, a revenue generating customer is kicked out.
So true.
I wish my company kicked off my customers, simply for racking up huge bills, without ever doing any thing illegal/ against TOS.
Well, you might get google to find you the discussions in the Hetzner thread from back when they started doing it. I guess it wasn't to long after they removed the traffic limit. Maybe 2-3 years later at most?
From OPs post history they have 200+ Hetzner servers with iGPUs, interesting use case, maybe for encoding or remote desktop purposes.
Why would those be kicked though? That's the big mystery.
