Low-cost dedicated servers (Europe - max 15€/month)

What options are there?

I know oneprovider and scaleway have some options but are there others?

I am looking for the best 1 core performance within this price range since the gameserver I want to run only uses 1 core. Other requirements are 2gb of ram, preferably 4gb, and maybe 80gb SSD.

    Why a dedicated server?

    Its now legacy, but a while ago we offered Intel N100 based systems with 16G LPDDR5 for around 20 per month. It didn't work out well at all however due to the lack of IPMI or similar. We did it with remote power cycling PDUs and PXE boot via TenantOS for some kimsufi-like management features. It broke all the time though, and those realtek RJ45 chips are a nightmare.

    If there is ever any good small board system/mini pc system that has some form of remote management, we would most likely bring something like that back for all our locations.

    Power pricing/rack pricing(in EU, atleast) and especially effort required are the main concerns with these kind of priced systems.

    You might be able to find a dedicated server, or you could find a Basically Dedicated server? It's within your budget, runs on AMD EPYC. Click here to see them.

    Amsterdam is live fully today. I've put some in stock as well of the 16GB ones. If you're after game server hosting, we do that too here.

    They're all instant deployment, and you can resize them on demand with us and a quick ticket.

    I simply need all of the performance for myself. I already tested running the server on a 2 core 4gb ram xeon VPS and it didn't work out very well.

    You are likely getting more performance on a standard 2 core EPYC Genoa system which can be had for like €5 at many providers than you will from any dedicated server at $15.

    There's also ovh kimsufi and that will be it. No other EU providers with lowend dedis that cheap.

    I would recommend a VM from a reputable provider at this price point though. At one core you'll get better performance.

    I haven't ordered but the basically dedicated offering from @SilverCreek looks like a lot of bang for your buck, probably outperforming whatever dedicated you can find.

    But... If you're set on finding a dedicated, watch kimsufi limited editions, something might pop up in the €10-€15 range.

    Best you could get 2 weeks ago, was KS-Game with 1500 GB6 singlecore for that money.
    Higher single core, unlikely within that budget.

    I did research and seems like I just missed OVH/kimsufi sales. I am looking forward for the next occasion, whenever that is.

    You truly missed those deals. But you can try your luck getting transferred from someone here or on some telegram groups where they sell for some good prices. The only advantage is cheap renewal.

    I recollect seeing under €15 last year. Haven't seen the recent lineup.

    Yeah
    Had their €5 one many moons ago.

    Yes, it is! I was lucky because they didn't have the HDD from the configuration, so I got a bigger one :) It's really great, though I don't use it much – I run a Kril on it and do some small tests. But for this price, it's a good deal.

    Mh... The small disk size is what makes me wonder if they're true bare metal. Could just be me.

    Can also deploy in NY I noticed. Would love one of those small onees in AMS but no option unfortunately.

    I'll sleep on it :)

    dmidecode reports it's a ProLiant m700 Cartridge, which looks to be part of the HP Moonshot system.
    The disk is a "SanDisk SSD i110" - I got lucky with 64GB on the €5 model :)

    Not sure how they handle vat but it shows almost €9 + setup Yoon checkout... Not convinced yet. Lets see when they delivered and about performance.

    Also, can't find any invoices in the panel. No emails for invoice or account creation. Not convinced.

  • SaragoldfarbSaragoldfarb Member, Megathread Squad

    They mailed me they can't deliver. Offered another location, bit higher specs at an additional cost or a refund.

    Proactive support, will ask them to notify me when there's stick again.

    The server I rented had a 32GB HDD. I didn't choose an instant server, and after payment, they informed me that they didn't have a 32GB HDD in stock and asked if I wanted an upgrade... (this seems like one of their tricks). I told them, "I paid for what you had on display; it's not my fault that you don't have it in stock. What I know is that you must provide me with what I paid for."

    Later, I received an email stating that they had added a larger HDD at the same price.

    My advice: Carefully check the TOS to ensure that the services you plan to use are allowed. I added a GRE tunnel, and I immediately received an email from them. After a phone discussion, we clarified that I was not violating their TOS.
    They had issues in the panel when reinstalling the OS. I contacted support at 2 AM, 5 AM, and 2 PM... and I always had someone to talk to, both online and over the phone.

    That may work yes. They now offered me a high spec Server, but at additional cost, RO location though.

    I'll pass but will try to get a small one. It's a rare location for a Dedi, even if the storage is low.

    Thanks for sharing them.

  • plumbergplumberg Veteran, Megathread Squad

    @pedala does it come with ipmi/ kvm?

  • SaragoldfarbSaragoldfarb Member, Megathread Squad

    They did deliver the server this afternoon after all, more disk just like you. The 5/m seems to be out of stock now.

    Didn't press them to deliver, requested a refund actually:)

    If it performs its a nice deal. Somehow they also added the calculated vat for the setup fee to my recurring payment so will contact them about that.

    Support seems decent enough. Nice find I guess.

    Hey,

    Intel Core i5-1135G7: 20GB RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD (25eu/mo)
    might be an interesting option.

    Is that keeper ? I mean is it worth it considering location and specs ?
