I wonder what they're asking for their Intel Atom D525 nowadays. @plumberg , you still have it?

Nah. That ship sailed away. .. I miss it. But too hard to justify

Hello,

If you are looking for predictable pricing that is not changing in mid contract, Tier.net is the direction where you should go.

I fear we could be heading back to 2013 pricing.....

(part it from ebay cheaper)

I had personally hard time finding any Ryzen AM5 hardware used/refurbished on Ebay, even if we did find something, it was like 5% difference in price, didn't make much sense in buying used then...

For now, I focus on refurbished older-gen Xeon hardware, makes more sense and with price increases ROI is better.

Really? I haven't gotten a notice yet, hope I am lucky.

If you have older servers like the i7-7700K's I don't think they raised prices on those (yet). Seems like the price increase targets DDR5/Ryzen systems, since those are in high demand.

Not accurate, unfortunately.

The rate for the i7-4790 I was leasing from Reliable Sites went from $19 to $49/mo.

I cannot justify that price for such old hardware.

RIP! I actually moved an old managed game server client from a RSNET i7 to OVH Eco i7 two or three days ago because I had a feeling they would raise prices on those too. Glad I did - and got an upgrade to NVMe from SATA moving it to OVH Eco.

RS sent out more price increase emails today for my servers. I have a couple newer 4545P, 256GB systems I ordered two or three months ago for $300/mo - they raised prices on all of them to $350/m today.

Definitely considering moving off, even if it doesn't save me any money. Between this, the piss poor support, support making mistakes causing downtime, and the cooling issues I think I'm finally done.

I don't like disparaging companies, and I've shilled RSNET in the past many years ago (which people basically called me an idiot for doing at the time) and brought them many clients that were unknown, but times change and people change.

Yeah, same. For around $50, I can get something from Hetzner that is much more modern, so that's probably my route.

My guess is RS needed these old 4th gen systems out of their racks so they could import more profitable machines into those spaces, and the price hike on these smaller systems was meant to do that. It worked, and we vacated.

Fair enough, but at 18 servers, we're not really a basket anymore, we're the henhouse. Let's lock in a few more and I'll make sure it's worth your while.

Maybe you should offer free migration reorganization with the additional 2 server

Out of respect to Radic and the host he built I really struggled at whether or not to reply to this thread.

I hate seeing a good large provider transition from offering reliable service at sustainable pricing to racing to the bottom of the barrel just to out-discount smaller or newer providers only then to have to raise costs drastically.....

I genuinely hope ReliableSite is able to recover from this and return back to the approach of offering fair, sustainable pricing backed by their reliable service.

In the meantime, for anyone looking for a reliable provider that has continued to offer sustainable and affordable pricing, feel free to check out PureVoltage.com.

Our management has not raised pricing on existing services in years, even after absorbing a 20% power cost increase.

I am hoping I'm lucky, I haven't gotten a notice yet. Maybe ddr3 is the cut off.

Already 6 with purevoltage, soon to be 8 , not 100% happy with support (not friendly), but service has been good enough to keep us.
