Good Deal or Run-of-the-Mill? Dedicated Server

I have a E3-1240v2 32GB 240GB SSD with an /29, $43 a month. Is that a good deal?
By that I mean, could I reasonably replicate it? I am wondering about my provider's long term health. So I am thinking about moving on now. If I have a screaming deal, what would be a reasonable price for this unit? I was going to post a request, but I thought I'd better get educated first.

I have a E31240v3/16GB RAM/4x240GB SSD/1Gbps@50TB/month = 29USD. Do you think a good deal?
Where did you find that one? 4x240GB SSDs is quite the find.
This was a limited promo from Heymman Servers.
I see their order page and all their products are "unavailable" - is it a summerhost style operation or?
No, as I have said to you this was a limited promo.... Seems that this guys have founded their company in 2011.
Fairly decent deal, @Virmach offers similar at 39 dollars per month
@virmach is the leader in LET for "fuck profit" offers! Recommended
I thought that term was trademarked by @exception0x876
No idea, I think I first heard it from @Nekki at the legendary offer thread.
It's possible, but I was like a kid with ADHD that weekend so much of it is a blur.
1 question, which provider are you with now ? That will determine if it is a good deal or not. There are a few providers which can beat this deal, otherwise.
Google did its magic.
Hmm, are there still some @Virmach dedicated server coupons around?
32GB RAM on E3 boxes pushes up the price a bit. RAM prices (for the E3 boxes especially) are pretty high right now. Prices have roughly doubled in the past 6-8 months.
QuickPacket's E3-1270 special with 32GB RAM and 256GB SSD is $70 per month in LA. We think that's a pretty great price. QuickPacket has been running strong for almost 14 years now. We aren't resellers - we own and operate all of our own hardware and network, with connectivity directly to transit providers.
Let me know if you have any other questions I can answer.
haha that is ridiculous, the cheapest you could buy that server even second hand including disks is going to be around $700 even with dirt cheap and I mean bottom of the gutter power and bandwidth prices it is going to be about 3 years for them to even cover the outlay on it, even after that they are probably only making a few bucks p/month.
I guess they must either run a charity or maybe that is 'paid for' kit from the past in which case the disks are probably pretty old.
That's why I said dirty cheap...
FILTHY cheap.
GRAVELY cheap...
Yeah, 4 x 240 SSD for that price sounds near impossible in my mind, could understand if it was just one SSD and still that's like covering cost (hopefully)
Not doubt is a good deal I will keep it as long as the server is working!
Interesting to see how that top 6 have fared since.
I knew I shouldn't have caved to public opinion and placed VortexNode above Inception....
