Last night I just finished replacing 6 maxed out medium instances with one $100 box from SoftLayer. :/
- spudlyo 14y agoAnd if you do, for God's sake don't run them on EBS volumes. If you don't know by now that EBS performance is highly variable, you really haven't been paying attention.
- bravura 14y agoAt that price point, it seems that you can get FAR better specs on Honelive. Kimsufi.ie is even cheaper, if you don't mind your server being hosted in the UK. edit: Softlayer: Intel 4x2.40GHz, 2 GB RAM ECC, $160/mo Honelive: Intel i7-2600 16, 16 GB RAM, $120/mo Kimsufi.ie: Intel i7 4x 2(HT)x 2.66+ GHz, 24 GB, $60/mo
- moonboots 14y agoHave you heard any reviews of Honelive? I've been looking for a dedicated server provider in the US with comparable prices to Hetzner in Germany.
- dsl 14y agoI get a lot of nice little extras from SoftLayer. For example I can get boxes in the 5 corners of the internet (west, central, east, euro, asia) with free bandwidth between them.
- StavrosK 14y agoHas anyone used Kimsufi? Are they any good? I'm at Hetzner right now, but I never found any use for that box, so I'm just paying for it for nothing...
- bravura 14y agoI just signed up for kimsufi. They are the budget brand of OVH. Webhostingtalk gives them favorable reviews.
