Hey can anyone do a decent deal west coast US for a plex server?
Comments
Plenty of deals, see https://lowendbox.com
What are you looking at exactly?
A VPS? KVM, OpenVZ? A dedicated?
How much ram? HDD? etc.?
We need more information to help you!
I wouldn't run a Plex server on a VPS. I currently have two Hetzner auction servers running a Plex server for my friends/family and it handles 30 + concurrent streams without issue.
please share the server specs? thanks in advance
Unfortunately, Hetzner is unusable from the US west coast imho. I just canceled a server because the stream was buffering all the time. I haven't found any hetzner alternative in the US. They offered an i7 with 16gb memory and 2x3TB for 34eur/month.
Delimiter has good offers. @MarkTurner and @mikeyur can help you
I don't think you will find the same amount of storage but they will make a good offer.
If your connectivity to EU is that bad you may want to consider tunneling all traffic through a VPN in the US that has good network to both your location and the server, may be one on the east coast. I bet it's much cheaper to get OVH/online/hetzner + OpenVZ in the US than a lowendedi with that much disk in the US, let alone West coast.
Mike can get your sorted in LA, drop him an email at [email protected]
Intel Core i7-3770
16GB RAM
2x3TB
1Gbit NIC
Currently 11 people streaming and CPU usage is 58% average and memory is 66% (none plex applications using majority of RAM).
I'm guessing that's with audio transcoding?
7 direct plays and 4 transcoding 1080 movies.
Use emby.
Just installed Plex on a dedibox with C2750, 2 concurrent user from east coast with 1080p transcoding seems fine.
Yes, those hetzner boxes can handle quite a lot of abuse without wincing.
Can i have access to the plex server? Running out movies to watch on my pc.
