VPS for mirrors, high BW - low resources
Hello,
do you know a VPS (or can offer) with a reasonable cheap yearly price that has a lot of BW.
I need to deliver custom Android ROMs (so 100% open source and legal) to users with direct download (with a landing page before that, hoping to cover costs with ads).
I wouldn't need any special hardware really, it will just run nginx+ 1 php server just to handle downloads, so even 64MB of RAM should be enough, even 1 CPU core shouldn't be a problem. What's the power needed to handle statics files downloads? I suppose close to 0? Consider that the downloads waves are just gonna happen at specific days of a week/month.
Can a very low hardware resources make it up for the high BW usage?
I think at least 2TB are needed.
Am I asking too much? I don't know if BW costs more than resources so this might be a stupid request :P

How much disk space do you need?
You what, mate?
You may want to check BuyVM Storage plan if $7/m is affordable for you.
EDIT: for a low yearly price, you may want to check 2host $25/yr plan. Search on LEB. (but don't expect too much on net speed.)
Trying to cover part of the costs, is this better put? :P
I think 5GB of space is more than enough.
Backupsy has $7 - 500GB / 2TB

BuyVM looks solid, the thing is those $7/m I suppose are for the RAM and the **huge ** storage, I was looking for something with a very low storage and very low RAM to lower the price
EDIT: 2host looks exactly what I need, I wonder the speed
$18 per year = 50GB Storage

BuyVM yearly may be what you want. Bandwidth overages are dirt cheap at somewhere around $2/TB. Get one in BUF and LAS and use Rage4 to ghetto-geodistribute.
We could do a 256mb KVM, 5GB storage, 2TB@1Gbps for $20/year (Dallas)
What are the specs of the plan?
Thanks, I'll consider this.
@sandro
256MB RAM
50GB Disk
30TB Bandwidth
Dallas tx
30TB??
30TB means unmetered 100Mbit Port right? Price really impressed.
@sandro yes
@msg7086 yes
dedicated or shared?
@sandro The bandwidth is shared with other clients, though the server is not on a 100 port. It is 2 x 1Gbit
Example client usage from last month: http://cl.ly/image/1G2Q0z400O3I
Isn't possible to get a higher port with lower BW allowance?
@sandro that should be possible. If you want to open a support ticket we can work something out with you.

+1 for Fliphost. I've been filling up my 500GB storage VM with them with no issues. Fast network, and stable node
@rajprakash Thanks for the recommendation
@sandro, @Fliphost is great, network is always super fast. here is a speedtest from my vps with them in dallase to my cvps one in chicago.

Fell free to use my test file to try out
.
That's more than 100Mbit up
Do you have a different plan than shared 100Mbit unmetered? I got around 30MB/s as well 
Actually @Fliphost I think I changed my mind, it would be better to have an unmetered plan so that every user can download but at "lower" speeds. I'll sign up soon
Can't go wrong on Flippy!
Slower download? People will take a different mirror. Just do fast downloads and when it runs out of bandwidth just leave it suspended until next month.
@sandro Just let me know if you have any questions
@erhwegesrgsr
I don't get what you mean, maybe you misunderstood. I was referring to @PcJamesy that posted a test file that got him and me a faster upload than 100mbit so I asked if maybe he was on a plan with 1Gbps maybe.
Or maybe I got it completely wrong? 30TB per month is not with unmetered port? You can actually achieve faster speed and being limited to 30TB/m ?
Sorry for all those questions @Fliphost
@sandro Gbit is a paid upgrade. Extra $2 per month. Still limited to 30TB
so IT'S NOT 100mbit unmereted, cause you answered yes to @msg7086's question
@sandro 100mbit unmetered ends up being around 30TB so yes it is
I guess what he means is that you get unmetered if you choose to use 100m port, but you won't get more bandwidth (30TB ≈ 100m unmtrd) if you upgrade to G port, only faster burst speed.
