Any interest in 10gbit VPSs?
If yes, would you be looking at high-disk VPSs, SSDs? High clock CPUs? The network would obviously be shared, but customers could burst 10gbit.
It would be more of a high-end market, maybe $20-40/GB RAM, but would anyone be interested in something like this?
Edit: So we're probably looking at doing this:
1GB RAM
20GB SSD Space (960GB PCI-E SSD card on host node)
2TB BW @ 10Gbps shared.
OpenVZ.
4 cores @ 2.3GHz
$30/m.
I'm interested to know what people would think of this offer, I could do it, provide almost 10gbit speeds (node/network conditions will always). I might look into doing a 512mb offer for $15/m, but the idea is to keep the least amount of VMs on the server as possible, to increase network speeds.
Server would go through extensive testing before production deployment, and might not even pass tests in the end for it to be deployed.

Yea, I would love it to 'stress test' my servers
Absolutely. Memory doesn't make servers stand out any more, 10Gbps port would.
What sort of specs and price point would you be looking for?
High End Boxes would sell great on LowEndBox.com...
As Mark said, 10gbps would be an interesting server, might sell well, who knows. Total node capacity would be 20gbps.
I personally would be interested in something with a reasonable amount of diskspace, 20GB or more. 256MB memory, perhaps 512MB? Price-wise, $5-6? I have no idea what that sort of connectivity would cost.
It would just be something a little different from the massive memory, oversold OpenVZ that is of no interest to me.
It would sell great on hackforums and wjunction
I'd pay $10-15 for 256-512MB with 5-10GB disk, something like 2-4TB BW? Is that unrealistic?
Expect abuse.
You would also need dual E5's most likely to push the full 10G
Depending on if you expect real 10Gbit speeds, even shared. Unless it's FDC or similar that's single homed or can't actually provide real 10Gbit, the bandwidth costs on it are still very high. Not to mention network cards and switches required for it.
I would love to see the plan behind this.
What part of the plan?
God help us if people are able to purchase $30 VPS with a 10gbit port.
Let's start with the 20-48x 10Gbps switch.
@Nick_A I can do it, not sure on the specifics yet, but if I was going to do this, I could. Still brain storming the server specifications that could push as much of the 10gbit port as possible.
If you are expecting a dedicated 10gig, get ready to pay 3k+/m
pretty cheap price @spencer
I'd expect that for dedicated 1Gbit.
I would love to be able to burst to 10gig (or even a couple gigs). I'd love something like 512MB of ram, ~10GB and however much BW for ~$10/mo?
For a reference:
1 x 2.1GHz core
1GB RAM
75GB RAID10 HDD
10Gbps shared port
10TB bandwidth
OpenVZ Virtualization
NL Datacenter
38$/m

Let me know guys.
What rate of oversubscription?
I still don't see the point of a 10gbps vps
The ability to burst up to 10Gbps.. lol.
@semoweb I mean I can understand it for a dedicated server, typically streaming. Where bandwidth need is high and used to the max, however 10G with 2Tb of BW I just see as missing the point of it.
Takes less than 30 min to use all your bandwidth for the month!
Let the abuse begin.
+1
@spencer in 4 mins you can use 2.4TB.. At full 10G, since solusvm polls inbound+outbound 2 mins at full duplex
Yea less than 30 min, like I said.
