Dedicated servers - what do you think?
hi there :-)
Not sure what you think about these; we're about to start racking some low end hardware, within the UK and we're looking for some feedback on the servers the servers that we will be racking on our network + pricing - we are also offering the option of rent to buy the servers that we will be providing.
Now we have some rough prices as this isn't solid yet but here goes;
All of our hardware will be Dell branded, all going to be coming with of course, unlimited bandwidth.
We're just looking for feedback, nothing else but if you have any questions fire away!
Dual Intel Xeon Quad Core E5504 2.0GHz Processors
4GB RAM
Dell SAS5/i SAS/SATA Controller
£22/mo
Dual Core Xeon 2.66 Ghz (5150)
8 GB RAM
Dell SAS5/i SAS/SATA Controller
£32/mo
Would there be an interest in these sort of servers? we will have these servers racked within the next couple of weeks.
Are the prices too high? They're in the UK so bandwidth + power plays a huge role

When was the last time I was using 4GB RAM on my desktop?
Even my laptop was 6GB RAM 3 years ago.
Indeed! My laptop has 6GB! :-) We're thinking about racking these servers.
Also i missed out a configuration!
Q6600 4x 2.4GHz
Ram 4GB
HD 1 160GB
HD 2 160GB
If you could get something closer to Kimsufi spec for around £10/month, I reckon they'd sell like hotcakes.
That's what I'm worrying about. A server that can't even beat my laptop, hmm...
This one is going to be racked at £35/mo in the UK with /30 subnet. no setup fee.
discounts however, on earlier pricing may very.
5150 Xeons are really old, you would get better performance from some pentium or i3 servers. The q6600s and 5504s are still decent low end servers.
We're going to rack them in RS, Nottingham UK. I believe it'll be a pretty good server for small webhosting use.
I thought UK has higher Power prices, and these servers take a lot of electricity, price looks to be fair, but would you be able to make money off of it
Yes - if we go with the other servers not the Q6600 we'd need to replace he PSU to allow effective and greener power to the servers - power plays a huge part in the part of the cost in the UK.
You may be better off getting a couple Dell C6100s, they are 2U 4 node, each with Dual L5520s and 24GB of RAM and 3x3.5in Bays they are quite a nice option for the low end market.
I like the pricing, just not the 4gb.
Can be customizable though, like I said we're going to be upgrading the PSU in the servers for the power performance..
Hmm, what an idea thank you very much :-)
