I am searching for a 128GB Server used for virtualization for the price range of about 50-80 bucks. I think Hetzner has the best ones however I have to pay so much for each IP (like 20 bucks per IP setup plus 2 per month)
Is there anything which might be cheaper? SyS has not the right ones and Kimsufi only allows one IP

Sys-le2 would satisfy your requirements, except for the availability
might be you can find some one willing to transfer

I believe this works fine with ESXI 7, if it doesn't and we have issues (which we should not) we would refund you or move you to another machine (your choice).
Look forward to hearing from you!
Top notch US provider, and path.net ddos protection included
Thanks for the support!

Hey
Thanks for your quick reply
The thing is - when I get a Hetzner server I can use 2TB of SSD and a way more newer processor (ryzen 5 3600) - and in the comparison sites I use it seems as they ryzen is is 7 years younger its way faster.
Is there something I might miss?
Also can I later upgrade storage if needed / add IPs ?
Or is there a refund policy or can I get a trial for a day or something to do some benchmarking?
Thanks
Thanks for the shout-out
I have reached out to your DM
The SYS-LE-2 hardware is too old to run ESXi 7.
Installer told me it was too old but proceeded anyway, and the installed OS never booted. I tried lot of things, but all that worked was settling for ESXi 6
I can give you a Dual E5-2670, 128GB RAM, 2x240GB SSD, 2TB NVME SSD, 10TB @ 1Gbps, 10 IPs for $89.95/month, at many of our different US locations, as we have some recent cancels from some upgraded systems that became available.

Thanks again for the offer. Great and quick service and setup unfortunately a bit too pricy on IP subnetting. stupid IPv4
but server and support were really great! 
Any other ideas? I am currently checking and it seems Hetzner is the most affordable one with around 80 bucks and a newer processor.
Look at the setup prices for additional IPv4 at Hetzner, then cry.
$2 per DDoS protected IP is not a bad deal by any means. Though, you could look at leasing a /24 and bringing it with you. A lot of hosts will allow you to do so.
Yeah, that's right, not like ESXi requires H/W RAID, and your "offer" is missing it. Yikes.
Not sure what you mean. The OP didn't mention needing RAID and ESXi doesn't require H/W RAID. SSD would be m.2 NVMe, not Sata (which are considered remote, which is possibly what you're thinking of).
NVMe's garbage, still.
+1 on this - it worked without raid, esxi does NOT require a raid.
The thing is that I only need 1 or two IPs more and I can only get a minimum 8 more which is 16 bucks per month which for me is too much unfortunately
