A good dedi offer?
Saw this offer for E3-1270v2, 16 GB RAM: https://order.minecrafted.net/cart.php?gid=2
The offer seems too good to be true for this price. Is there a catch? There are very few configuration options.

I remember seeing this somewhere here or WHT
Better off with a OVH/Hetzner then them
It's good until you realise additional IP's are $5 each.
Well seems the domain was registered back in 2010 so have been around a while. However contact info going to a PO Box. I'd be wary about those specs at that price but you never know till you have a go I guess...

Same address as DD? DD's whois has changed but it use to be the one same as minecrafted
I presume they use the LLC registration companies PO address or same company formed awfully wrong
@StormVZ Thanks for the tip about Hetzner. Planning to get one from them. I was more specifically looking for one in US.
@Dionysus Interesting point about the 3 months offer and the correlation. Interesting!
A $1400 server for $80/month, about 2 years to pay it off with colo costs? Just in the nick of time for the hardware to be useless... so unless its Dell offering these in an undercover fashion to you who just happen to have a 20 billion dollar contract with intel and supermicro for cheap hardware pricing, then I would venture a guess that 'to good to be true' is an understatement. Don't do this to yourself...
You can look at http://www.server4you.com/root-server/server-vergleich.php?products=0,1,2,3,4,5
DBD network is crap too http://bgp.he.net/AS17090
So they are only connected through L3? How do they get AS with only one peer, wasnt there a requirement to be multi-homed for getting AS and IP space?
I repeat... don't do this to yourself... lol
I've had a first gen 1270 @ DBD for the last 6 months for $99/Month (pre-sale promo); support mail is answered and dealt with within a few minutes at any time (not that I've needed it for anything apart from my own doings) and I get consistent ~92ms ping from the UK (the sticks in the north).
Just FYI…
I can do this setup for $160 a month ( bottom line ) so I dont know how they can do it for $80?!?! stay away
Always with the negative waves Moriarty, always with the negative waves.
@Dionysus yeah, for real; one of the best companies (for anything) I've ever dealt with as it happens.
Touch wood…
@Dionysus Already have a few LEB/LET VPS in US. Looking for a few dedicated servers in US for performance critical web applications.
