A few google searches will give you alternatives if you care. The Xeons are not the lastest or fastest models in the city but are good enough, the difference with newer models and higher clock speeds will probably be in 1-10% processing power for most workloads, unless you are _very_ CPU bound. https://www.arsys.net/servers/dedicated https://www.arsys.net/servers/dedicated Of course this is _not_ a 1:1 comparasion with EC2. This are unmanaged bare metal servers (with good http APIs and webpanels to admin though) but sometimes that is good enough and you can save a good chunk of money. You can up/down a server instantly (well - minutes) and you wont be charged if you are not using it.
