Kimsufi KS-4C at 14,99€ is available

in General
The KS-4C appears to be back but so far only directly linked in the French site.
This is with the setup fee as well - so it's not one of the great KS offers.
See: https://www.kimsufi.com/fr/serveurs.xml?flash

Hopefully someone will still find it useful.

not a great deal, KS3C is better
Yeah..
I'd rather get SyS 30 euros for close to 2xCPU passmark, 2x the disk space, 1x the memory 2.5x the port speed and up to 16IPs for 2x the price and without setup fees.
Edit: memory is same at 16G
Not good for video transcoding either so... No no.
Fuck the KS-4C
I have a 3C with 4C specs but have no usage for it. What to do Nekki?
You grab it, you hold it tight and never, ever let it go.
Not a good price like before
Depends what you’re doing. Absolutely fine for 2-3 concurrent transcodes in Plex.
Got any stats on the AMD churd at Decentec? I need something to do with it, my personal data archive is maybe 1GB if I don't bother with music..
I had a 4C for about three months. It was the same as my 3Cs, so I let it go. Decent machine, but not at that price point!
These kind of threads makes my enjoy my two 3570S even more :P
You should be good for a single 1080p transcode or two simultaneous 720p transcodes with lots of headroom to spare on that one, I think it clocked in about about 3300 passmark, and the general rule of thumb is 2k passmark per 1080p transcode/1.5k passmark per 720p transcode.
If you're doing direct play, direct stream (changing containers) or audio transcodes, you can get a ton of streams going on some weak hardware. Just gotta pay attention to the format your media is in.
The only real transcodes that happen on my Plex server are from normie friends/family who can't figure out how to set playback quality to 'max'. When I had my Plex server on a KS-3C (i3) and x3440 I'd regular max out CPU when 2 folks tried to do transcodes. Have 6-8 concurrent streams going most nights now and barely hit 2.0 load on my E3.
I'm in the process of migrating Plex over from a KS-3C i5 to a SYS E5, making the move over to all HD content for the upcoming TV season so I'll need the extra oomph.
I need more storage than I can get affordably with SYS (got the E3-1225/16GB/2x2TB - but they gave me a 1245v2 for the same price). Really considering a Hetzner box but the connection to the US west coast is hot trash, so gotta do some testing in the next day or so with the Plex + CloudFlare stuff to see if it works well enough. i7/32GB/2x4TB for $45 USD-ish on the EX plan is great if I can get quality streams during peak hours.
If they added ssd, I'd be happy.
Yeah, that EX41 is certainly interesting, slightly less than £10 for double storage, a Gbit port and a slightly faster processor versus that SYS E5/16GB/2x2TB is a decent deal, but I need to remind myself that it's nearly an extra tenner I'm spending per month so I can hang onto twice as many TV shows that no-one is watching.
As there's no setup fee I may grab one for a month just to play with.
it seems sold out.
@muratai As far as I know, they are not sold out. The warning that you may see when you click "Order" is because it may take longer than usual to set up the server. Usually, we can deploy servers very quickly, sometimes even within in minutes. But because of the extremely high demand from the sale, it may take up to a few days. The sale price will still be honored as long as your order is complete by midnight August 31 (Central European Time).
I was talking about kimsufi ks-4c at 14.99 eur/month
Not everybody quite gets the rapid changes in conversation flow that happen at LET.
OVH is just a Hetzner reseller anyways.

All of them get their servers from OneProvider - it's in the name.
