How to Choose a High-Performance Dedicated Server on a $10 Budget?

hyunhyun Member

I am looking for a dedicated physical server with 1 Gbps bandwidth, 1TB SSD storage, and the ability to handle high CPU intensive workloads. However, my budget is quite limited, at only $10 per month. What viable options do I have within this price range?

    What are you talking men?

  • Kimsufi starts at $15 and won't be close.

    You have zero viable options.

  • olokeoloke Member

    You need to increase your budget at least 4 times. Then you'll find something useful.

    Check Hetzner dedicated servers, they start at 42 usd / month with Ryzen 5 3600, 64GB ram and 2x 512GB NVMe.

    No chance at all for your specs, for $10 you're only going to get something similar to this: https://www.nocix.net/cart/?id=250 or somewhere like Primcast

    Maybe 4 slices of Unified FAT at @servarica_hani?
    » 4 CPU Cores (dedicated)
    » 16GB RAM
    » 1000GB NVMe Disk
    » 16TB Transfer @ 10Gbps OR 250Mbps unlimited (+1Mbps per day)
    » Server Location: Montreal, Canada
    » VM Type: XEN (not KVM)
    @ $10.00 USD/month

    Not exactly the most powerful CPU (AMD EPYC 7551P), but for this budget...

    Many thanks. The features of KS-C align perfectly with my usage scenario.

    Kimsufi and Oneprovider are your best options.

    You were asking for 1Gbps and 1TB SSD for less than $10/Mo, and now you are saying this 300Mbps/120GB SSD/$15 server works perfectly for you.

    I guess that's why we can't always have effective communications here lol.

    During a Kimsufi flashsale possible, but currently no.

    You can't really get 1TB SSD and powerful CPU for $10. Maybe some providers can offer you a 1TB SSD but it won't have a powerful CPU, or a powerful CPU but not 1TB SSD, but both are really impossible to get for $10

    Congrats on your first post on the forum!

    This is most likely a scam, do not buy from it.

    I'm not very familiar with how to use the forum, but I rent a VPS from H2 for $0.50 from their New Year sale for a VPN. I can't vouch for their other configurations. Here's the YABS.

    Geekbench test failed and low memory was detected. Add at least 1GB of SWAP or use GB4 instead (higher compatibility with low memory systems).

    Hi @hyun

    For $10/month, a dedicated server with solid specs is unlikely. Instead, consider a high-performance VPS or discounted cloud compute option for great performance at a lower cost.

  • SpiritsSpirits Member

    1gbit at 10$/m? That will be server port speed only and shared with another gazillion clients

  • hp and cheap are mutually exclusive.

  • w3e4r5w3e4r5 Member

    grab every kimsufi flash sales

  • Better use your $10 budget to buy a Ramen. It'll help clear your head :D

  • That’s quite an ambitious setup for a $10/month budget 😅
    If you do find a provider offering that, please let us know — we’d all love to migrate there immediately.

    KS LE Series, EUR 9.9/month can meet your needs!

  • Finding a high-performance dedicated server for $10 per month can be challenging due to the high cost of hardware and maintenance. The alternative will be VPS hosting.
