Where are you getting $1.20/mo on 1 core/512MB ram/10GB ssd and half a GB bandiwdth? Amazon for example was something like $50/mo for bandwidth alone

- 867-5309 6y agoit's not AWS-grade, just a budget VPS, but has been just as reliable and performant so far. it's out there should you care to seek. the correct currency of £ will help
- reitzensteinm 6y agoYou are renting an overprovisioned timeslice, not a dedicated core. Even Hetzner's time slice instances are twice the price. Their dedicated CPU instances are almost 10x the price.
- 867-5309 6y agopossibly, but nothing to suggest that 6 months in. they suit the use cases perfectly
- reitzensteinm 6y agoIt's definitely a timeslice, and that throws off your comparison wildly. Otherwise you'd be able to rent a 32 core dedicated machine at the same place for $48 a month. Can you?
- 867-5309 6y agoit mentions "dedicated resources", but it's unclear whether this applies to CPU it might throw the comparison off if there was variation in performance at different times, but there isn't cores scale with RAM, you cannot rent 32 with 512MB
- reitzensteinm 6y agoThey're probably talking about dedicated RAM, although even then I wouldn't trust it not to be overprovisioned up to 2:1 on NVME swap. Hetzner dedicated cores come with 4gb of memory per vCPU for reference. 1.2 GBP/mo for a dedicated core is wildly off market price. There's no way they'd be able to make a profit, so either they're going out of business tomorrow or it's not dedicated.
- 867-5309 6y agohourly benchmarks confirm it's definitely DDR4 RAM, standard SATA SSD with acceptable IOPS, and decent enough network. it's the budget branch of the biggest hosting provider so maybe they can afford to. how long it lasts only time will tell
