newservers.com - "dedicated cloud" - the servers are physical servers but they have a provisioning api. they have the cheapest 48GB boxes we can find, and we're running an app where we need a few very high memory boxes
pros - boxes are cheap relative to EC2, boxes are fast as they're all yours
cons - they're slow to provision; up to an hour when you make a request, but the smaller boxes are faster - 10 mins or so. also, only one datacenter, and it's in miami...
- gexla 16y agoStormondemand is a similar service, and which I'm actually using right now. I believe it's basically a VPS where you get the whole server to yourself.
- jpgagne 16y agonewservers.com delivers servers with bare metal os installations with no vps.
- scottypooh 16y agoI know the datacenter very well which newservers.com is primarily based in. Nap of the Americas, it houses most of the biggest service providers and internet brands in the world. The most impressive facility I have ever seen in my life. Combination of Disney World and Fort Knox of datacenters. I'm not sure how newservers.com is able to sell servers so cheap when their datacenter is so extremely expensive.
