You should post the specs and price you're looking for.
What spec? The area has a lot of options honestly. But yeah, I was given a 55%~ increase, even on pretty old servers not affected by hardware prices. RS is more expensive than some Asia services now! Wow!
Are they more expensive than Expenzner?
Sorry about that.
AMD 7900 or higher
192gb ram
2*4tb nvme
20TB bw at 1Gbps
Are you willing to pay a setup fee to cover some of the hardware costs? If not you probably won’t find 192GB now at a reasonable price.
if it makes sense, yes, we actually did few times with RSNET with $500 buy down options
WebNX has similar configs in New York and might do it. But long term it might be better to buy the hardware (part it from ebay cheaper) and finance it, and colo with a company like Dedicated.com in New Jersey. Best of both worlds.
Expenzner is high priced on new orders but not on existing customers with paid off hardware.
RS is becoming a joke in increasing prices on paid-off old hw by 50% by existing services without providing any of the quality you would get at Hetzner or others.
They were cheap(ish) (actually only with discounts, their list prices were never competitive). Now with the new pricing they have no reason to exist as a hosting business. You either need a better quality or a lower price than your competitors. If you have neither, it's getting hard to convince clients to stay with you.
E.g. a newer cpu with doubled unmetered bw and better quality in hw and team by a competitor is now about the same price as RS. So time to move.
yep we are, but the budget is the limitation to how fast we can colo servers
Yeah, I feel you there.. honestly, stock with most companies is just gone. Bad situation, especially when companies hike prices for existing clients with zero notice.
Yeah, they just want us moved out to be able to rent out the hw again for double or triple price even while those two or four year old existing services are already all paid off again and again and again.
