ColoCrossing Dedicated Server (NY) - $119.04/year

Veteran, Megathread Squad
Fantastic server if you missed the $119.04/year deal from BlackFriday 2024 - details listed below.
Specs:
- E31270 (4c|8t) (upgraded from E31240)
- 32GB RAM
- 1TB SDD (Samsung Evo 850)
- 40TB / Month @ 1Gbps
- Buffalo, NY
- IPMI: Yes
Renewal date: 2025-Dec-02
Recurring price: $119.04/year
Transfer price $145 USD (Paypal - Goods & Services ONLY)
(This includes transfer fee $20 + PayPal Tax)
Process:
- Buyer makes the payment
- Seller will initiate a transfer ticket and share it with the buyer
- cue elevator music (This process may take a few days to a couple weeks - ColoCrossing does not give these tickets the highest priority)
- Buyer receives the server in their account
- Buyer profits
Some notes about my experience:
- Yes, I received a million $+ invoice for this server initially. It ended up getting voided. So, requested them to re-initiate it. Took time for a response and found another server in mean time. So, this is ready to go to another home
- Technical issues - Support response time was within minutes of raising a ticket
- Installed Windows Server and used it for over a week and it was super responsive
- Installing Windows over IPMI is doable, but you need patience as the Java based setup will be slow. But, it works flawlessly
- OpenWebStart - Kraken allows seamless usage of the SuperMicro IPMI. No need to worry about getting a 32bit Windows/ Java. For me, jdk1.8.0_232 worked
- The control panel at ColoCrossing is not the best. But their recent comments suggested upgraded panel coming soon

If it's so fantastic, why don't you keep it?
Yes, I received a million $+ invoice for this server initially. It ended up getting voided. So, requested them to re-initiate it. Took time for a response and found another server in mean time. So, this is ready to go to another home
Are there any limits on transfer markup?
Edit: never mind, the $20 of the $26 markup is transfer fee.
Whats the markup here?
$6? I misread, no issue.
It's for PayPal fees
Ok. Pricing error....
Going to mods to get it fixed. Will update with new thread or update this
alright, I'll bite. I sent you a DM. @plumberg
EDIT: great dedi but on second though, I'm going to pass on it. It's still available for anyone interested!
responded
Can just flag the post, would like to help you to fix but not sure what to fix it to
I actually sent a message to @DP sometime back requesting his help.
Can I PM you the same?
Flagged it with the details. Thanks @FAT32
Updated.
Thank you. Much Appreciated @FAT32
Bump
Reguards
I wish 64 gb ram. I transfered money for a OVH KS 11 but ovh said India vs Canada can't trade. Will CC upgrade ram, is there option?
I am sure they can.
But there will be extra fee for that i believe. You can reach out to support. This is not unheard of..
Thanks.
Those e3s max out at 32g, so no.
Interesting. Never knew that.
Nice server... If only I could justify another US Dedi
$40
You pay fees
Damn you @johndeo983
Damn the scraplers
@plumberg most definitely ain't no scalper.
Are you sure?
Reguards,
Server no longer available
@mods please close this thread.
It's a good deal.
