Shameless plug time! My own company, Uptano, is doing something kind of neat with dedicated servers. We're letting you rent dedicated hardware and then launch multiple virtual servers on them.

We're not trying to be the absolute cheapest, just trying to be the company we wished to exist.
- wensheng 14y agoAre you OpenVZ only? Can I deploy my own Xen VPS on it.
- canterburry 14y agoVery interesting. Question: Do all my 8 VSs have to reside on the same host? If the host goes down, it will take all my VSs with it. Any way of getting the same number of VSs but distributed across hosts?
- staunch 14y agoIf the hardware goes down, so do the servers (just like EC2), but they can be brought back up on new hardware rather quickly. You can of course setup redundancy by creating multiple servers on different hardware nodes.
- slig 14y agoReally cool. I've just put my email address in the newsletter. Hope to need your service soon.
- IbJacked 14y agoI've been keeping my eye on Uptano, they've come a long way since I played with the initial beta. I really like the idea of having a dedicated box and being able to allocate VMs within it.
- chsonnu 14y agoHi, what is the benefit of your offerings vs installing openvz on a managed host?
- staunch 14y agoIt's far easier to manage than doing it manually. We're also making it easier to do high level things with your servers that aren't trivial to do manually.
- lifeguard 14y agoI have never heard of an ISP limiting customers to running any number VPSs on a dedicated server.
- staunch 14y agoHeh. That's one way to look at it, I suppose. Virtual servers on Uptano are managed via the web interface and each includes a public IP address. Most ISPs do limit IPs per server. Also, our limits are higher than pretty much anyone needs per server.
- lifeguard 14y agoWhy do you limit IPv6 addresses? Just kidding! Yes, IPv4 addys are in short supply.
