There are a lot of comments in here about the CPU/RAM but I think the important thing (at least to me) is that you can obtain 200Mbit/s for 3EUR/mo. Saturated, that's 65TB/mo, which works out to 0.00005 $/GB. Most of the big clouds and CDNs charge on the order of 0.08 $/GB. Sure you can get unlimited bandwidth on some of the bigger dedicated server packages but not for 3EUR/mo.
And yes, all networks are not equal. 65TB on a shitty network isn't worth as much if it has 800ms latency or something like that but at least there's an option.
- eximius 9y agoThere is a pretty great comparison of major VPS providers that looks at the networks. Scaleways network wasn't great but very tolerable. https://www.webstack.de/blog/e/cloud-hosting-provider-comparison-2017/ https://www.webstack.de/blog/e/cloud-hosting-provider-compar...
- Veratyr 9y agoThe comparison overall is very good but ultimately not very useful to me since the test only covers Germany (which makes sense since it's a German company serving German customers doing the comparison). The providers vary a lot when it comes to transatlantic networking and their performance within Europe is usually very very different. I've been testing VPNs with various combinations of source -> VPN/novpn -> destination, where source, VPN and destination are any combination of US, Europe and Asia and I've found that this is really variable. So much so that there are cases where you can actually improve bandwidth/latency by using a VPN because of the network on the other side.
