pricing is a bit low on your end... but...
@qps
For that much disk and ram you probably want to increase your budget.
Virmach has same/better specs and only $39/mo, except it's NY. So I wouldn't say the budget is too far off base.
RAM prices are really high right now, especially on the unbuffered stuff these systems use. Just something to keep in mind.
However, power and bandwidth costs are not the same in NY/Buffalo vs West coast, hence why west coast would cost more.
This is like comparing an apartment in the ghetto to an apartment in the suburbs. Buffalo is cheap for a reason.
While they do get cheaper power and that contributes to the lower price, also remember you get what you pay for. The network blend obviously leaves something to be desired or you would have already purchased one and be using it instead, as difference in latency should only be about 20-30ms max (which should be nominal for most use cases), so you obviously already tested their network and decided it wouldn't work for you, this is why it is cheaper.
You need to up your budget (a bit) to secure this at any half decent data center.
my 2 cents.
Cheers!
