Searching for a VDS

Mainly required for FFMPEG encoding (either via windows handbrake or ubuntu ffmpeg encoder)
Currently using berohost ryzen 9950x vps 2 core 6gb ram but since it's shared, so I can't run it for a longer time.
Opted for vds of with epyc 7642 2 core but while the yabs runs over 2500 GB6, in case of ffmpeg encoding it seems to be very slow (around avg 10 fps low in the vds than the berohost vps server for the same file in same environment with similar config except cpu) .
So currently searching for a new one where I could run the CPU 100% without worrying about throttling.
Budget is around 10$ per month. 2 core is enough. Location does not matter. Bandwidth preferably around 10tb
I am starting to ignore YABS because in terms of encoding, the real picture seems to be different. I just want to try different ones to check which could suit my needs.

Four-cores VDS for a two dollars less (set the number of slices in the cart):
For $10 you can get either basically the same plan, but with 1000 GB NVMe (bigger slices) or add separate 500 GB SAN disk to the offer above.

Maybe some of these will work for you

Hey!
We offer VDS (dedicated cores) and have multiple people using our services for this purpose. All services include 20TB of bandwidth at a minimum.

Could you mention which epyc cpu?
The best VDS deal within your budget is in the first reply btw.
Highly recommend
You can also consider netcup or avoro, with more cores but less powerful single core performance
If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true.
netcup or dataforest for "German dedicated vCore"
No servarica is great. They use older epyc processors, so maybe not the best choice if it’s the main criteria
Super highly recommend, also super great to work with
I have a storage VPS (HDD - fixed plan) with them, not this one, but the others say the CPU is AMD EPYC 7551P.
Highly highly recommended.
2 Epyc cores around your budget, I don't have more details on this VDS right now:
Layer7
2 Epyc Cores (dedicated)
8192 MB RAM
120 GB NVMe
51200 GB/month bandwidth
1.0 Gbps port speed
IPv4 + IPv6
Hosted in France
+1 for @heartbeat_IT
Got yabs for this one?
No sorry but you can probably find yabs in this thread

This one I did buy last week and tested.
For the same criteria (same OS, same file, same ffmpeg preset and parameters), Berohost (2 core ryzen 9950x shared vps) gives avg 10 more fps than the above. I was slightly disappointed.
Keeping other parameters same, PH24 (4 core genoa) does match with berohost but throttling to 50% does come in to play (as expected).
The above VDS performs per with (in case of ffmpeg encoder) naranjatech genoa shared vps ($30/year) which is where disappointment does come in.
Formatted multiple times, tried with different OS later but in my case, the performance remained below expectations which is a bit frustrating because it was a great value for money package otherwise.
If the GeekBench score does not match the ffmpeg performance it might be due to different compilation flags for ffmpeg set by the different linux distributions. It would be interesting to compare the encoding speed using the same version and build number of ffmpeg from the same linux repository. But I guess you have tried this already?
Currently have windows server installed on all 4 machines (struggled with subtitles in some particular files so had to resort to handbrake for the time being) but will check your point. There might be something in there because GB6 was indeed very good.
If you can slightly increase your budget, we (crunchbits) can offer you this:
Crunchbits
Ryzen 7950X
2 Dedicated vCPU (7950X)
4GB DDR5 ECC RAM
100GB NVMe
20TB Bandwidth
1x IPv4, /64 IPv6
2.5Gbps Port
Spokane, WA, US West
$14 / month
https://crunchbits.com/vds
True dedicated - 1 core / 2 threads
Full passthrough is also enabled.
If you are a new user, we also offer a 3-day money-back guarantee, so if it doesn't work for you, you can refund.
Here is bash script to limit cpu resources to 35% for ffmpeg encoding on a VPS
I am using this on 6x vCores 9950x VPS
35% of 6x vCores ≈ 2x dedicated vCores
This also may be helpful — last column is filesize
For best performance, 1st one is famesystem.de 2nd is avaro.eu 3rd is netcup.
There are more companies that offer a good service and can adjust to what the user is looking for.
Sometimes it's not all about quantity, what counts is quality.
Yes. And they are start from 4th here. For price+spec+performance=1 to 3 is listed already
Current YABS seems way too low for a VDS or am I missing something?
Config: Epyc Dedicated Cloud Server 2Core-8GB-80GB PAR1
@itachikonoha: it is slow; reach out to labze, he may move some abusers to a special lazaretto node.
Labze is from Hostbrr, not Layer7. These are dedicated cores, abusers shouldn't be a problem.
2x vCores EPYC 7352 / 8 GB / 80GB
IMHO both single and especially multi core score should be higher; maybe it's a similar problem to this (there the VDS was accidentally setup as VPS, and then was throttled).
Have you opened a ticket with @layer7?
