Looking for low end dedicated but not sure who to trust
Hello again all
I'm thinking of getting a low end dedicated box but not sure which way to go. I live in the uk and looking for something no more than £20 (less would be better) currently I have a openvz vps with what was dotvps and the new tos from virtua don't match my needs (have a small minecraft server on it which they now don't allow) and was thinking about moving to a dedicated box since I do host some clients websites and intent to get some more soon 
So where would people suggest a good place to be is? I looked at ohv and saw kimsufi because I'd seem them mentioned a few times
Currently my vps runs at just under a gig ram with all websites database email servers etc on it and only comes with a 50gb hdd and 3gb ram
So prob looking at 2/3 gig ram with whatever hdd unlimited bandwith and great services
Cheers
Matt

OVH/Kimsufi -> Gravelines has superb connection to the United Kingdom.
I would say Kimsufi, OVH is one of the largest hosting providers.
Would I still be getting a decent connection if I locate it in France? Currently I'm told my vps is in maidenhead and the connection is pretty damn quick
Forget about 20 GBP dedi in UK, so OVH in France is the best one you could get.

Check out your connection there.
You might want to look for another VPS, minecraft needs good disk speed and seems kinda slow on a 7200 rpm disk for me.
I think you've misspelled "thrust"
Poundhost do a £10.99 + VAT Atom with 2GB 250GB HDD, have a look on LEB for the offer.No Paypal payment though, if that matters.
That said, I have an Atom with OVH in Gravelines and it's spot-on, I use it for Remote Desktop and there's no noticeable lag compared to doing the same thing from Maidstone.
@linuxthefish it's not on all the time in fact hardly ever atm. So prob will get a lowend vps for it if I bother with it again. Dot vps were great but the new guys didn't even email to say the new site was active or that the tos had changed hence the move to bigger and better things!
So I'm guessing people are recommending ovh/kimsufi
Will have a look at that cheers! So the atoms are ok for server stuff then? Most I've had to do with then is in my dads netbook and it's quite slow. My clients are running wordpress and e-commerce like opencart and magento so need it be able to cope
With your budget you can get an i3. Better than the atoms.
Yeah probably ovh (kimsufi) for dedicated. I'd personally go with a 2GB UK Linode or NL RamNode VPS though for the faster disk speed if 3TB (Linode) or 4TB (RamNode) is enough bandwidth.
i was thinking of swapping from openvz to kvm then thought if i can get a dedicated for roughly the same price then my as well
my clients dont have many hits atm although one is increasing quite rapidly as his band are making quite a name for themselfs
check online.net too, they have some nice offers
also the new offers from kimsufi have the D425 which scored lower than the nano U2250

aww man seems as tho they have sold out in france since ive been looking around anyone know when they restock? or i could go with so you start servers. Is it faily easy to move up through ovh services?

No reason to not go with Kimsufi/OVH IMO
I'm in the North of England, and I have an OVH VPS in Roubaix (which is further away from the UK than Gravelines) and ping response time is 17ms
That's with ADSL too, not Fibre/cable
Google DelimiterVPS they're amazing they ran a promo back then on WHT for $5 dedicated atom server all I can say is they have perfect uptime I had them 2 months already and not a single downtime or network slowdown. You can also try wholesale internet but depending on how much resources mc uses choose accordingly as I'm using my delimitervps dedicated server for CPanel DNS only
If you go for OVH low-end dedicated, make sure you make constant backups. They only come with one drive and those are mostly old ones. Could go bad anytime.
Thanks for all your comments guys! Think I'm going to let the minecraft server slide and move it away from my hosting server. Gonna have a refresh of my setup prob using ovh/Kim for a dedicated and some other low end vps for nameservers
Tad overbudget but what about? http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-classic
That has RAID, 1gb port and additional IP if you want them.
Probably stating the obvious but please... not server4you if they ever tempt you with anything.
Peace out.
@wych cheers that's not too bad don't mind a couple quid extra for added security
How about online.net's new atom offering? If not you can't go wrong with the i3 from kimsufi
@sijie123 I just looked can get nearly twice the server for the same price
By the way for ping to the UK, kimsufi is the better option (online.net = +5ms). I get +1-2ms to my GRA and RBX servers compared to UK ip's.
If you can get a In-Stock kimsufi, Pay with CreditCard then you dont have to go through the verification process. -> instant delivery.
I paid by credit card and it took 5 days to deliver my server
The c series isnt bad.
My minecraft box is on there and only got 5-10% load, with mods etc. Goes up to 60% when mcmap runs though.
EDIT - Server was delivered in 3mins and 15s from when I paid.
Really? Did they flag you for a Identity check though?
I'm probably at my 6th server with them and I always get them in less then a minute.
