Yes, their support is quick indeed. Fired a ticket about whois information removal and KVM issue, both are done and I have reinstalled OS from ISO.
Sent a ticket and they removed my info as well..so a big thanks to Dacentec!
Hurry up guys! New hot servers if you need any
Question for @Dacentec
bgp.he.net claims that you have peerings with AS5089 yet traceroutes between the 2 show a combo of Telia and CW. Does this mean Centrilogic/Dacentec are starting to peer in the EU now?
Darn I want one... keep missing it...
Who doesn't, with such great pings to Mountain View. Mountain View, NC, that is. OVH BHS is at least closer to New York.
But still, hats off to Dacentec for providing some of the cheapest dedicated servers in the U.S., wherever they may be located.
There Support seems to be Holidays, i upgraded to 100Mbit unmetered over 12 Hours ago, still can use Gbit. Eh.
I think that the 100Mbps unmetered is not capped to 100Mbps and you still have access to a full GigE. @Dacentec ?
Settled for the $25 :P
It's funny you say that because one of Google's largest datacenters is also in Lenoir... just a couple miles down the road from Dacentec.
Maybe they will persuade their users to move there!
Realistically, Google has lots of engineering budget to mask latencies that the rest of us probably don't.
Supermicro 6-bay Opteron 1381 8GB 2X2TB SATA Rent Only 8GB 2x2TB SW $20.00 USD / Monthly
Just got one, but it's still on list.
Supermicro 6-bay Opteron 1381 8GB 2X1TB SATA Rent Only 8GB 2x1TB SW $20.00 USD / Monthly
is there also, presumably will last longer than the first one.
ed: also got some 2xL5520, 2x2TB, 16GB RAM for $40 'RTO', i think that's the first i've seen for under $50. use it to replace my hetzner and cannibalize the HDDs and RAM after a year i guess
I've dropped a quick review of one of the Opterons at http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/64403/dacentec-20-dedicated-server-a-first-impressions-review if you want to see my opinions so far. I've had the server about a week, I've performed some tests of network latency & bandwidth and transferred copies of some KVM virtual machine images over to play test. tl;dr: up to this point everything seems excellent.
You're being silly. The difference in latency from almost anywhere in the northeast US to Dacentec in Lenoir and, to use the most prominent example, AWS in northern Virginia is about 10ms. That's not a meaningful difference for the overwhelming majority of use cases.
If you only care about NE US, OVH BHS is cheaper (Kimsufi) and greener (Quebec runs on 96% hydropower). Whereas NC still burns a lot of coal and most of the shift has been to natural gas rather than clean energy. OVH BHS is probably as close or closer than Dacentec (not that I've run ping tests myself).
By light speed, there really isn't anything worth reaching that you can reach significantly faster from Dacentec than OVH BHS. Maybe Texas and Florida if those are target markets for you.
Don't try to move the goalposts. You're just making yourself look squirrelly.
Stop evading the issues, you're just making yourself look weasely.
Anyways we need to stop arguing before we both look retarded, so I admit Dacentec wins on performance, price, support and clean energy hands down.
Hello ms.telephone~
I think 1381 is better
Sure, but the other has double the disks depending on youir usage.
Yes, but depending on what you are using the machine for there isn't a massive amount in it: http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/957/AMD_Third_Generation_Opteron_1356_vs_AMD_Third_Generation_Opteron_1381.html - the 1381 is usually clocked about 8% faster and has about three times L3 cache. Being based on a 0.045 micron design rather than 0.065 probably means it consumes less power both directly and through the need for cooling, but that isn't something you'll notice as they aren't charging for our power consumption.
For a storage oriented server the choice between 1356 and 1381 isn't going to make much difference (probably none at all) but for other tasks the little extra clock speed and chunkier L3 cache might be more significant. If you wait a little and are lucky, boxes with a 1381 and 2x2TB turn up at the $20 point (that is what I've currently got).
If you're lucky. But, the rest of the time, it's "made you look, now spend at least $35" (75% more).
The 1356 is the one they release with 100mbit unmetered bandwidth for $20 though.
I though you could add the 100mbit option for $5/month on any of their servers though?
If you desperately want one check more often - they do seem to pop up regularly enough.
Or set a web watcher to drop you an SMS when the page changes to anything containing the text $20?
Doesn't sound robust. What if they post it as $19.99?
Then you are fucked. Period.
We usually post on facebook before anywhere else.
Does that get you DDoS'ed too?
No, I think it's just the days where we hit LET. DDoS = Love, i.e. "Better upgrade the RAM in that portal server, we are getting some love from LET today"
Nice way to show your lovvveeee...
