How do you feel about the online €1.99 server

sc754

I had two, got rid of one of them as it was just idle. But the one I have left gives me access to a 1gbit port for 1.99 euro a month. Best value server I've bought ever, even more so then my 2.99 kimsufi n2800 because of the port.

You can't go full gigabit on these servers.

True but I regularly get 200mbit+

Actually, I am having 500+ Mbit/s on a very regular basis.

I doubt you can sustain that. The 1Gb/s reference on the website is totally useless, it has 0 meaning.

Not more than any other shared gbit port. I am doing duplex 1 tb a day or so, the cpu cant do more, it seems, the graphs do not show 500 kbps at any time lowest is 1.6 mbps x2 (up and down) or so, but only once in a couple of days and that is probably a glitch since average is 10 times that. It probably depends on your neighbors I will see how much it stabilizes at.
For this pay, it is great, I do not pay VAT either, I use it for RDP and Tor as well as test box.

Don't get "too" crazy with that, they do watch out for and react on bandwidth abuse. In at least one case servers were withdrawn from a client (with a refund), though that was due to 24x7 usage of hundreds of Mbps across multiple 1.99 servers.

Did that happen to you personally? Could you elaborate on the circumstances?
