Dedicated server near Ireland
Hi guys.
Currently I live in France and I rent a Centos 8 dedicated server from Ikoula. It's a Xeon E3-1220v6 with 16Gb of DDR4 RAM, a 240Gb SSD, and a small nVidia GPU GT710). It has a 1Gb port, one ipv4 and an ipv6 subnet. I use it among other things to run a Windows 10 VM to which I passthrough the GPU. I access the VM via RDP inside a SSH tunnel, and also via Apache Guacamole. I pay 22.50 euro (non including VAT) per month for the server.
I'm going to move to Ireland, and I don't know if the latency to Ikoula's datacenter will be good enough for RDP'ing into the server from there. So I am wondering if it's possible to rent an equivalent or better server near Ireland (I'm guessing in the UK?) with similar specs including the GPU (I think I can passthrough an iGPU if needed) at a decent price? I'm thinking under 35 euro (not including VAT).
I checked Leaseweb, but their cheaper options have older Xeons (so no GPU), and they don't have a SSD, which I'd like to have.
In terms of price, SoYouStart comes close with the XEON-SAT-1-32, but no GPU and no SSD :-(
Do you guys know if what I am looking for exists?

If you check traceroute with various looking glasses you may see routes from Dublin like
or
So traffic will most likely always go via London to Paris.
However the additional latency between London and Paris is only about 8 ms RTT.
I do not think you will notice the additional 8 ms, even with SSH, RDP or other interactive applications.
And since you most likely do not cross an additional carrier from London to Paris as most T1-carriers will have POPs in both locations I wouldn't expect any negative impact either.
So if you are happy with your server from Ikoula, keep it and give it a try.
Especially since you most likely won't get a similiar server at that price in London, I personally would not care about <10ms latency.

You make a very good point dfroe, thank you very much for your input!
Agreed with dfroe you will see very little in it and you probably wont find a server in your budget in the UK, wait until you move and give it a try but its probably only an extra 10ms or so over what you are seeing now.
