@Gcat, if you can work with 15 GB Disk, I can do it for $20/month with 24 GB RAM (only 1 available) in Incero Dallas on 100 Mbps port limit for the VPS.
Hostus has a 6GB RAM plan for $18/qtr, 150 GB HDD OpenVZ... If you can offer the same with 50GB SSD instead of the HDD I would happily jump over...
...but that's OVZ.
Assuming I have not yet signed up from your promotion this week, this would indeed be interesting.
A sample usage of mine is hosting a Java database driven web application. So high ram and less disk is very applicable. The Java app will eat 500MB to 1GB RAM. While MySQL with tuned parameter maybe 1-2GB RAM. So that would be 3GB. A 4GB VPS would be very responsive for this. And such application may only need 5GB-20GB max disk.
If you have such product, I think it would be attractive to Java and RoR developers. Maybe you can market to such audience.
If you have 8GB RAM, maybe have a template with Gogs and Jenkins. Then developers might be very happy.
I'd like something like transip.nl does. Small primary SSD, and mount a massive cheap SATA datastore (can even be raid5/6 no big deal). That way I can put the whole webapp on the VM instead of doing ridiculous transportation.
@AnthonySmith it depends on the usage of the VPS, I wanted to get one of your 6GB RAM OVZ deals for a moodle project I'm currently working, the high RAM and storage would be very helpfull on this kind of site.
But most of the sites I work on fit on a 20gb hd including OS and software packages.
I have a small VPS acting just as a VPN server and last time I check its storage usage was under 4gb (kvm, 512mb ram, debian 7).
PS: if you make the ovz deal available again I will try to grab it
In the 'cloud' space where you run smaller units disk space beyond 3 or 4G is often not really needed on some nodes, i.e load balancers. But other nodes i.e DB servers very necessary.
