If anyone knows of a reputable provider in NL who is not in SkyLink or similar, let me know. Specifically if they offer LTO, colo or will do volume discounts on custom Epyc configs and announce our IP space / ASN and setup a vlan for our servers.
Pretty sure I have made a decision on what I'm doing here but wouldn't mind weighing some more more options. Good chance we will end up in DataBarn but I've not said "yes" to anything yet.
Maybe Dataone in Wormer? Spectraip, Skb entperise and alsycon. They probably can offer.
I think I forgot to mention important part that the 1GBps port is dedicated and not shared.
U can have a look here etheron.eu.
Using them for some months now.
Hetzner / OVH if EU locations are fine
If you need to stay with Netherlands id probably go with tube-hosting afaik all dedicated servers come with 10g port by default - you can speak to support who will offer you a custom plan with different disks etc etc, very helpful
They only provide VPS? I don't see any dedicated servers on their website.
If we (Backbone.direct / DataBarn) can do anything to help in the decision making, feel free to reach out ofcourse
!
I'd rather 4% each year, than 30% and a decrease in service as well, less bandwidth and DDoS protection. Wouldn't be so bad if they kept the service the same.
I see, they don't show it on the main page, you have to go the pricing. 60 EUR Intel server with 10Gbps port? There has to be a catch or FUP. What the is bandwidth limit? Looks too good to be true.
There is no catch, I have personally used tube-hosting for years and haven't had a warning or been limited for traffic use - Obviously do your own research, support on discord/skype can be pretty slow at times but that's like any provider
Do you have by any chance YABS or speedtests?
I dont actually have any current servers with them (lol) the project i had ended so i ended my servers there, but they are always my go to in EU especially on a 10g port with Ryzens
Yes, This is the thing to do. We moved away from Worldstream earlier this year after they essentially "kicked us out" after 15 years of colocation and server rentals. Their reason? A ChatGPT "Hope this message finds you well" message stating that having "offshore" and "privacy-focused" on our website no longer aligned with their new management's policies.
We were also spending several thousand dollars per month with them, yet they made it clear they had no interest in keeping long term clients. Definitely disappointing. Missing Lennert and Dirk they actually cared about their business.
Love them.
They were very helpful and on top of most things when I had servers at WorldStream between 2009-2012.
We would be happy to help out! where can we contact you?
My details are on file.
I moved our WHMCS install and the EU mirror of our site over to you when Path was falling apart a month or so ago. I think I opened a ticket about colo some time back as well but it's waiting for my response.
Otherwise, you can shoot me a PM.
Awesome!
contacted you
Got counter offer from Worldstream, lmao.
charge back yesterday
I've heard from other providers at Skylink say they are completely sold out and have no room.
Sector D being built out until summer. Space for +250-300 Racks.
There is also arround 90 Racks on the waiting list for that already i Heard.
We get another batch of Racks for ourself as well when built out. Until that we are working on our network and POP NIKHEF etc etc. Next week we have 3x100G GTT ready finally for ourself as additional capacity
So until that is full. We are also deploying Space in Our Last Rack.
Leaseweb has 4% price increase each year.
This rule came after energy price increased in EU significantly
Even in bad times they did increased like only 5 Euro for 2U servers.
And about 3 euros for 1U servers.
Which was totally fine with me.
And this 4% increase came after that, so they can be bit safe from energy price increase.
But 93 Euros to 135 Euros is very big jump about 45% from original price.
Anyone would move if price change like this will happen to anyone.
Cpanel price increase is not their fault, its cpanel who increases price frequently
looks like Worldstream is a small company, they can not get the lowest price from their supplier
Take a note, that existing hardware price does not increase, only new one. If you get charged more for the same hardware citing ram price boom - it is greed in action.
Why necropost here instead of https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4675961#Comment_4675961
Yah!
For a start that's very expensive.
Plus "unmetered" is the trap because (a) you don't get it anyway (but 100 TB), and (b) you are likely to end up with the provider calculating based on the assumption that you'll use about 360 TB/month.
Hence:
My colleague and friend (and I) pays far less than you at AlphaVPS / @AlexBarakov who not only offer very reasonable pricing but also excellent support. In case I would need another dedi that's the first place I'd look at. The other option I'd consider is a Kimsufi, but I'd strongly prefer to go with AlphaVPS.
Strange thing from the data we have is that the number of customers who leave due to a price rise is largely the same regardless of if its 4% (or whatever CPI is that year) or 10%. For many businesses it hence makes sense to do 10%, 20% whatever rather than yearly increases.
