Ask HN: Cheap and fast (just CPU) dedicated server?
We need a server to do some very CPU intensive data processing and we are looking for provider which has the best CPU/cost ratio.
The server does not need to have a lot of memory, fast disk or anything like that: we just care about CPU speed.
The data is public so security is also not a issue.
