Strange! My Dual L5420 is indeed charging $2.50 for the /29. Need to check with sales about that.
Edit: Actually my 1385 is now also showing $2.50 for the /29. This was not what I agreed to and paid for. Must be a glitch in their system.
I submitted a ticket for the same issue a few days ago, this is the reply i've got:
That's interesting. They told @vimalware that they've started charging $2.5 for converting to a /29.
and what about the different bandwidth rates...
What are you talking about? Reduced bandwidth charges for high end plans?
Yup. ordered 1385 on may23, requested /29 'swap' the next day.
Guess I just missed the honeymoon period.
Bandwidth went from +$10 for 10TB to +$50, quite steep. Though I guess that if you already had selected the +10TB option for $10 you'd keep that as well.
There are indeed some different bandwidth options on different servers, and the /29 adds cost on some models now.
The amazing deals on some of these servers are closeout deals, there are thousands of servers, but we are renting hundreds per week. Get them while you still can.

Any <=$25 servers without the extra $2.5 fee?
Why buy one dedi when you can build a redundant cluster...
@vimalware - Yes there are.
May I know which one?
Anyway, any IPv6?
Thanks.
Yes, IPv6 is supported and free of charge.
Open a support ticket, they got me hooked up with a /48 for free - they'll just let you know it's still in beta
@dacentec Do you use the Intel DC series for ssd drive option
(240GB mystery ssd) ?
(240GB mystery ssd) ?
Mine is using a Crucial M500.
I saw they had some more of those $20 machines.
The
Supermicro 6-bay Opteron 1381 8GB 2X2TB SATA Rent Only 8GB 2x2TB $20
says it comes with 10TB bandwidth and 1gbit port. shrug 3000 benchmark on passmark is plenty fine for me. Maybe I can finally move off Hetzner.
(ed: also the Supermicro Opteron 1385 16GB 2X2TB SATA Rent Only 16GB 2x2TB for $25 that some other ppl are talking about on this thread... or those godawfully slow 2xL5420's, for $40/mo... those things should all be binned... and stay there)
Are the opteron 1385s that bad? Looking to get my first dedi and was looking at that.
Oh, I think the Opteron 1385 should be fine. It's 4 cores and not hyperthreaded and gets a 3000 on passmark benchmark. That's not too shabby. It's in Passmark's 'High Mid Range CPUs' (and closer to the top than the bottom). It's solid.
ed: let me rephrase. the l5420, people pay too much for it, when it is a 5th or 6th gen product. performance wise per core, i think it'd be similar to the opteron 1385.
ed2: aha! here's cpu boss - http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-L5420-vs-AMD-Opteron-1385
I have the Opteron 1381 server and I love it
is that for single L5420?
Yap!
Single Opteron 1385 - http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Quad-Core+AMD+Opteron+1385
Dual L5420 - https://cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+L5420+@+2.50GHz&id=1259&cpuCount=2
On another note, shoutout to @dacentec support. First drive started to fail after initial install, they swapped it out for a brand new one in ~20 mins
I do like 90s ticket responses.
Dacentec rent Dual L5420 and as far as I can see they are very good servers for the price...
Dell 2xL5420 16GB 2X2TB @ $30 /mo can't go wrong!
2xL5420's are still powerhouses in my opinion.
5420's do well enough, especially for their price. A friend has quite a heavily modded minecraft server running on one, everyone extremely late game, dozen's of dimensions and it still soldier's on. Can't express how pleased I am with it.
Well, you got me there, 2xL5420 for $30/mo, yeah, go for it.
I see that all those servers are gone now, maybe I should have grabbed more than just one. ponder
Don't stress, I'm sure they have more, they seem to release them in blocks - probably as they fill a rack or something. Check early morning in EST timezone and you'll probably see them pop up again.
Damn! Do you know when the $20/m ones are coming back?
Monday...
