I don't really care. My $6/month deal beats any $5/month deal from the major players, and by a huge margin. I recently tested the internet speed on it, and I got 850 real Mbps out of the promised 1Gbps channel, which is good enough for me. I can give Memcached 1GB of RAM and not worry about killing everything else.
I have a bunch of sites running on it without stepping on each other, and I doubt that would be the case on AWS / Google / DO.
- imdsm 10y agoYou're telling me that your 150GB HDD beats a 20GB SSD? Even though they're both going to sit at 10GB free for years.
- deelowe 10y agoHe won't reply. He's currently furiously working on integrating his wordpress plugins. Seriously though, Amazon is going after a totally different market than the budget providers.
- smarx007 10y agoHe is free to use his server how he sees fit. And are you really sure that Amazon is going after a very different market with their 5$/mo. offer than a low-cost VPS provider?
- deelowe 10y agoI think comparing a (NVMe?) SSD solution to a HDD one shows the OPs ignorance of the differing market segments each is going after. They aren't comparable solutions.
- olegkikin 10y agoWTF? I never did anything with wordpress plugins in my life. And even if I did, so what? You have some elitism / insecurity issues.
- olegkikin 10y agoAll the critical things should sit in RAM anyway. The SSD will beat the HDD if you read/write to disk heavily. But not if you need space. If I need an SSD, there are options too, though DigitalOcean is indeed one of the best if you need a cheap US-based server. If the location doesn't matter, EU, Russia, Ukraine have some great deals. Example: $4.6/month = 40GB SSD, 1GB RAM, 3 cores, unlimited traffic @200Mbps. https://firstbyte.ru/vps-vds/kvm-ssd/ https://firstbyte.ru/vps-vds/kvm-ssd/
