@jarland maybe it was just an honest mistake when they put the offer up, or prehaps they've ran out of SSD drives. Datashack are awesome, don't slander them over a little mishap, they happen.
@PhilND Oh I've every intention of letting them explain the situation, I would consider it very unfortunate to have to form such a negative opinion over so little money spent.
Whta's Remote Reboot Access?
SSH
Ok... So, I was thinking HEAVILY on getting this deal. And then I got conclusions.
Some specs of the server I got:

Where do you see an $35 server with a Phenom II X4 840?
Lolwat, comparing some VPS to a dedi. And btw just recently I have seen complaints in the LEB IRC that someone's Linode is slow as hell. Because obviously there's an untold number of other people on the same node as you, so this can never be a better deal than a server you've got all to yourself. Especially if Linode is not even significantly cheaper.
@zhuanyi not bad:P
Yes, I am.
It is, despite the bandwidth
Is 50 and it has a better processor and more space.
Apparently you are in bad mood today and don't get the point of my idea =/
@yomero I am in an OK mood thank you :P I just find considering a Linode instead of this $35 dedi ridiculous.
Regarding the Phenom one, yes I have found it now, but as soon as you approach $50 this comes out http://www.hetzner.de/page_us.htm and absolutely slaughters everything in sight. ("Wah wah but it's in Europe" -- so what, e.g. for me it's actually a huge "+", as I am on this side of the planet too).
They'll install Proxmox (100% sure) - in the comments give them the link of Proxmox download link also + also link of Tutorial from howtoforge (just in case)
[edit: read that u have already ordered, so just open Support ticket mentioning the same ]
yeah, right you are...
50 Euros?
But @earl , can u tell why Proxmox ? - http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/3695/proxmox-control-panel-why-not-or-why-yes
42 Euros = 51.40800 U.S. dollars
Keep in mind that the Hetzner prices include 19% VAT but you also have to pay 50$ setup fee.
@gsrdgrdghd
VAT is only paid if you're inside EU. Setup fee - yeah.
Wow, that stock didn't last long!
Hetzner prices include VAT I think, the prices listed on the website. Another reason I prefer them over OVH.
The CPU passmark for both processor seems to be about the same.. and for the extra $15 you could get memory upgraded to 8gb with a second 146gb hard drive for raid on the Opteron deal.. also the Opteron is an HP blade!! while the Phenom is probably just a desktop computer..
Hmmm passmark... is messed up. See the 830 and 850.
"Good" point (for some people)
You win on this.
yeah that's odd.. I recall some AMD had a defect on their L3 cache that when you put the patch ends up slowing down the CPU not sure which AMD that was thought..
Also I would assume that the Opteron would have ECC ram compared to non ECC for the desktop.. and considering that the cheapest colo they offer is $35 the Opteron deal is really a steal!! you're basically getting the server for free..
That was on the first-gen Phenom.
Well, here goes DataShack. They sold out of these. There won't be a happy purchaser in the bunch. The rest for anyone who cares...
Their response:
?????? what?! they care to respond to your emails but not others? this is ridiculous!!!!
$35 sold out...
They respond to support, but not pre-sales.
I also had them set up the 2x SAS drives in RAID0. I'm not too bothered, for $40 the 10TB of bandwidth alone is worth it, especially at the gigabit speeds I'm pulling down.
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 16.8206 s, 63.8 MB/s
Is this really that bad for running websites on? I figure if I'm running a few Wordpress sites and a small forum that it shouldn't be an issue, am I wrong?
I also just rented a Dual Xeon L5420 (8 cores total) w/ 8GB RAM from them for $80 a month (2x 500gb HDs.) I'll probably use it for a couple of gaming servers, some torrenting torrenting, maybe a couple of websites.
Hetzner has some fantastic deals that probably crush it but since I live in Florida I doubt I'd get the speeds I'd like from Germany. If anyone has speedtests or other reasons that could convince me otherwise I'd be delighted to hear, because their prices are really nice.
No, only on LET do I see people freak out over benchmark speeds. 63MB/s is more than enough for even a site with heavy database usage. Hell, half that speed would be fine.
Yeah, that's what I figured. I can't imagine even heavy database usage needing that much i/o.
it's used because it's an easily comparable number, and usually is a pretty decent indicator of overselling
