2. Show me a VPS host that has cheap bandwidth.
For example, lets say we need 10TB of transfer.
Slicehost: $3,000 (0.30/GB !!! WTF are they smoking)
Amazon: $1,250 (Assume 5TB in, 5TB out, in US)
Linode: $1,000 (0.10/GB Good for VPS, but still crazy)
Typical dedicated server: $99 with 10TB included.
Amazon is ridiculously expensive. I know it's really "hip" to use it, but it's throwing money away. I guess if it's VC's money then who cares if you get to say "We're cloud hosted!!!".
Bandwidth pricing on VPS hosts is just crazily expensive.
- regularfry 16y agoI'm somwhat suspicious, but there's this: http://www.hostv.com/linux-vps.shtml http://www.hostv.com/linux-vps.shtml; OVH have similar deals.
- tasaro 16y ago10TB/month averages out to 32Mbps. From what I've heard, try using anywhere near that on your typical "all you can eat" provider and you'll either be QoS'd enough to never achieve it or you'll suddenly be in violation of some finely printed Terms of Service.
- axod 16y agoI do around 5mpbs on dedicated servers without issue, I've peaked at 100mps without too much fuss.
