Hi friends. Merry Christmas.

Looking for a dedicated server in Europe with a Ryzen 9 5950x+ for a bit of encoding work. Hence maybe 32GB of ram but everything else doesn't need to be too beefy, 500GB disk would suffice, port speed can be rather low too, don't really care. No v4 address needed. I'll probably need it for around 2-3 months only, so if there's something you need later on but can spare at the moment, hook me up. If possible, I'm aiming at a price around ~50€/mo, but if you've got a 9950x or something crazy, I'll honor that too of course.

I don't think GB6 is supposed to run with 1GB of RAM.
If you have swap (or zram) enabled, it will use it, but that will have some impact on performance of course.

You have a point, swap (or zram) presence is definitely an important detail.

And thank you again @tentor , finally I have a VPS from you.

(And @tentor is really fast, the BGP session was setup before the YABS finished, so far that's the fastest BGP setup time I've ever seen, by far.)

Who are you using otherwise for free BGP sessions? I'm looking at moving away from Vultr to HostHatch but want a few other providers for failover.

And thank you again @tentor , finally I have a VPS from you.

(And @tentor is really fast, the BGP session was setup before the YABS finished, so far that's the fastest BGP setup time I've ever seen, by far.)

Who are you using otherwise for free BGP sessions? I'm looking at moving away from Vultr to HostHatch but want a few other providers for failover.

(The following have no recurring fees, but some have a setup fee.)
Gigahost (Norway/Netherlands), SMC Server Solutions (Australia/New York), v6node (Frankfurt, I don't know if they do BGP in their US location), Zappie Host (New Zealand), Onidel (Australia, Singapore, and I think they also do BGP in New York, but not sure), Ouiheberg (France)
(I have cheap VPSes from most, but most of them have rather high normal costs.)

@sh97 and @zGato (and others) may also know other good options.

🌍 Why These Deals Are Even More Insane Than They Look

We just launched three brand-new premium locations that make these flash sales even more valuable: 🇭🇰 Hong Kong, 🇩🇪 Frankfurt, Germany, and 🇳🇱 The Hague, Netherlands. All three are powered by M247 datacenters with AMD EPYC Genoa 9254 processors, brand-new servers, RAID10 NVMe SSD storage, and massive bandwidth included.

Here's the thing: You won't find prices this low for hardware this good anywhere else. For example, take our Advanced VPS flash sale at €12.50/year. That's 2.5GB RAM + 5TB bandwidth for less than €1.05/month. I don't think there's a single provider out there offering more than 1GB RAM and 500GB-1TB bandwidth in Hong Kong for €10-15/year. We're giving you 2.5GB RAM + 5TB bandwidth at the same price point, in premium datacenters, on brand-new AMD EPYC Genoa 9254 servers with RAID10 NVMe storage.

That's the value we're offering. Premium hardware, massive resources, brand-new infrastructure, all at prices that seem impossible.

🎄 Plus: Our Christmas Sale Continues!

On top of these flash sales, we're continuing our incredible Black Friday deals for Christmas: the same massive discounts that thousands of people loved and ordered.

Up to 82% OFF on annual VPS plans: Starter VPS from just €10.90/year (€0.91/month)

55% lifetime recurring discounts on monthly plans: DIY VPS from just €3.38/month, and the discount applies forever on every renewal

Windows VPS with 55% OFF forever: perfect for Windows applications and RDP access

Dedicated Servers with 35% OFF: enterprise-grade bare metal servers

All available in our new premium locations (Hong Kong, Frankfurt, The Hague) plus all our existing locations: Tokyo, London, Silicon Valley, Phoenix, Dallas, Bucharest, Timișoara, and Constanța.

See all our Christmas deals in one place: https://rarecloud.io/active-promo/
