You should post the specs and price you're looking for.
What spec? The area has a lot of options honestly. But yeah, I was given a 55%~ increase, even on pretty old servers not affected by hardware prices. RS is more expensive than some Asia services now! Wow!
Are they more expensive than Expenzner?
Sorry about that.
AMD 7900 or higher
192gb ram
2*4tb nvme
20TB bw at 1Gbps
Are you willing to pay a setup fee to cover some of the hardware costs? If not you probably won’t find 192GB now at a reasonable price.
if it makes sense, yes, we actually did few times with RSNET with $500 buy down options
WebNX has similar configs in New York and might do it. But long term it might be better to buy the hardware (part it from ebay cheaper) and finance it, and colo with a company like Dedicated.com in New Jersey. Best of both worlds.
Expenzner is high priced on new orders but not on existing customers with paid off hardware.
RS is becoming a joke in increasing prices on paid-off old hw by 50% by existing services without providing any of the quality you would get at Hetzner or others.
They were cheap(ish) (actually only with discounts, their list prices were never competitive). Now with the new pricing they have no reason to exist as a hosting business. You either need a better quality or a lower price than your competitors. If you have neither, it's getting hard to convince clients to stay with you.
E.g. a newer cpu with doubled unmetered bw and better quality in hw and team by a competitor is now about the same price as RS. So time to move.
yep we are, but the budget is the limitation to how fast we can colo servers
Yeah, I feel you there.. honestly, stock with most companies is just gone. Bad situation, especially when companies hike prices for existing clients with zero notice.
Yeah, they just want us moved out to be able to rent out the hw again for double or triple price even while those two or four year old existing services are already all paid off again and again and again.
Really? I haven't gotten a notice yet, hope I am lucky.
If you have older servers like the i7-7700K's I don't think they raised prices on those (yet). Seems like the price increase targets DDR5/Ryzen systems, since those are in high demand.
wondering the same as I'm paying about half of the current asking price of the Intel special with no email about any increase. @MrRadic ?
Anything updated when you login to the control panel?
Check colo cross they might have similar config
Not so reliable in the end huh?
Ryzen 9 9900X
192 GB RAM
2 x 2 TB NVMe SSD
1 Gbps Unmetered
Location: NY, USA
Monthly: $169/mo
We can upgrade the drives to 2 x 4 TB as well if you really need it.
DM if interested, we have other specs we could setup too.
Not yet, old price is still reccuring amount. I'd be willing to suck up a $5.00 increase. More than that Ill just cancel it as the 5tb bw isn't much when in+out is counted. The only thing radical about MrRadic right now is the erratic pricing. It's fluctuating like oil. A few months ago it was listed at 29.00, a month later 39.00 and now when I looked last night 49.00. shrugs. I'll just wait for an email to see what happens. It's a nice little server for what I use it for and I'm happy with it for what it is.
That's not fluctuating, that's just increasing.
We also just receive notice on the increase today. The price increase really doesn't make sense with over 100% increase on the old HW.
yep, migrated already one of the servers from RSNET, will continue migrating away
I would have welcomed a 50% increase. For me, the increase is 158%.
Then again, I had a $19/m Black Friday deal and they are hiking me to $49/m. That's why I have the 158% rate increase.
$49 would still not be a horrible price for a dedi, at least until you factor in the age of the equipment I had, and look at what else is available in that price range from Hetzner or Kimsufi, etc. That's why I am moving as I feel the value for each dollar is better elsewhere.
Not accurate, unfortunately.
The rate for the i7-4790 I was leasing from Reliable Sites went from $19 to $49/mo.
I cannot justify that price for such old hardware.
RIP! I actually moved an old managed game server client from a RSNET i7 to OVH Eco i7 two or three days ago because I had a feeling they would raise prices on those too. Glad I did - and got an upgrade to NVMe from SATA moving it to OVH Eco.
RS sent out more price increase emails today for my servers. I have a couple newer 4545P, 256GB systems I ordered two or three months ago for $300/mo - they raised prices on all of them to $350/m today.
Definitely considering moving off, even if it doesn't save me any money. Between this, the piss poor support, support making mistakes causing downtime, and the cooling issues I think I'm finally done.
I don't like disparaging companies, and I've shilled RSNET in the past many years ago (which people basically called me an idiot for doing at the time) and brought them many clients that were unknown, but times change and people change.
You are right
That server's price is TOO DAMN HIGH
There are some nice OVH RISE servers with EPYC CPUs that could replace it.
These are in Miami, I only use RS in Miami at this point, but I'll be moving those.
But for most people, OVH Eco line in Virginia is a great alternative to most of the RS servers.
We had servers in all three locations, and when ReliableSite suddenly raised prices by 50–60%, we decided to move everything out. We even migrated the servers that weren't affected by the price increase. Looking back, it was definitely the right call, especially now that they're raising prices on older server models too. We still have account credit/fund with them.
I wonder what they're asking for their Intel Atom D525 nowadays. @plumberg , you still have it?
