If you're willing to prepay 6 months I can offer the following configuration :
Dual L5420 (8 Cores @ 2.5GHz)
16 GB RAM
1x 240GB SSD + 1x 2TB 7200RPM
/29 IPv4 with 20Gbps of filtering
5 TB Bandwidth @ 1 Gbps - Incoming free.
Located in Psychz, Low Angeles.
This would be $240 every 6 months. Let me know if this works for you.
Nocix has some stock on those atm - https://www.nocix.net/cart/?id=211
I was actually thinking https://www.nocix.net/out-of-stock/?id=246
It's the $25 custom server with the Intel CPU.
If I could upgrade HDD and SSD for $5/ea it comes out to $35/mo with a processor that has a faster clock speed than even the $40 model. Opinions?
Thanks for your offer. I'll keep it in mind.
That CPU does not qualify for your 4-8 cores requirement.
The link I sent specifies Dual Intel Xeon 5080. Each chip has 2 cores, 4 threads. Therefore, 4 cores 8 threads, which sounds like exactly what I want.
Yea, sorry, I didn't notice that these are dual. Still, if you trust CPU passmark, it is lower for 5080 than for 5520.
