Ill start

Cloudatcost, i got on the hype train when it was posted here a year or two ago, they are cheap for what you get but I would not recomend them to anyone now. I just use mine as a seedbox as they are not very stable.


Vultr have hosting in Sydney, so I chose their $2.5/month plan for some small websites, so far so good.

Digital ocean is nice too, but it is $5/month and was too much for what i needed.

I'm using online.net dedicated servers, I think they are 10 euro a pop.
Don't really recall what cpu they have, but it's good enough. 4GB ram and 500GB HDD, but the deal why I got them is 3.5Gbps Internet connection (1Gbps guaranteed).
Use them for hosting mirrors, massscannig and seed boxes

>hosted at home
>webserver
>apache2 + hugo static site generator
>look up the fuckin rpi2 specs, nigger
>only costs are my internet connection and 9€ per year for a domain

We rent a 1/2 rack in California and run our own servers in it. This is required based on our customer type. I know that amazon and others have a 'secure' option where you're supposedly on your own dedicated hardware but there's no way to confirm that.

Anyway, I don't have the spreadsheets right now but if you calculate your hosting+server costs for dedicated rack space it comes out even with amazon costs after ~2-3 years and then after that point you come out ahead.

I think amazon and the hosting providers watch each other's prices and adjust accordingly.

Looks like vultr are sold out on their $2.5 plan :'(

hosthatch, doesn't require that stupid ID verification shit
super cheap vps & kvm
ive got one in NL & HK

my actual IBM server running win 2k3 is leeching electricity and internet from my uni
fuckin eservers man

How do you keep it hidden on the network? Why 2003?

Homehosting is not allowed by ISP here :(

>500GB cap
if your site has an average traffic of 10k a day, this won't last a week.

is rbn still around? I wanted to host a torrent site but can't really trust these random shitty providers, I had some bad experience before, got my site 404'd a couple times without even a notice.

If I got 10k a day, i would be able to pay for more lol.


I'm looking into what can help boost it atm,

wishosting.com/order/main/packages/VPS/?group_id=2

im using this for about 1 month and its just working
its ovh resseler


but the plan that i take it (200gb hdd, unlimited band) its not more available

I reconise that server room, i helped with the decomissioning and installation of kit there, spooky

i got a bachelors in IT and a internship at a major citys county IT department messing with switches and stuff, was wondering how hard itd be to get a job in the field without proper Certs

wat?
why?
where the fuck do you live?

I want to have a home server but I live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere with ADSL connection

I have a friend that is reselling Supermicro servers for his company for around 45 Euros (some old Xeon, 3GB ECC memory, 2x drives servers) and up and I've been thinking about grabbing one of them

What could I host with a crappy 5/0.3 DSL internet if I indeed grab one? I was thinking about hosting a dedicated Quake 3 server but the bandwidth is not gonna cut it

A lot of residential ISPs have some "you can't run a server" clause in the terms of use. Both in the US and Europe. Mostly this is to try and push businesses into expensive plans that aren't really any different than the residential ones, but have a different user agreement.

Now whether the ISP actually enforces this is another matter. Inbound traffic on port 25 is pretty commonly blocked, since it cuts down on spam-botnet problems. Occasionally but not always you'll see port 80 and 443 filtered too. Everything else generally works fine. They could police the no-servers clause aggressively, but mostly they'd just net a lot of people with game servers, voice-chat servers, some folks who SSH into their home machines, and other such trivia. These people aren't in the business market that can be forced into a higher price tier, so there's not much reason to bother catching them.

Aruba Cloud has VPS (but it's more like for hosting an VM, once deleted no cashback) for 1$, the connection speed is 170/30 (on my CZ VPS) and it's just 18ms ping

I though about getting one of these. Have a couple of HDDs that would like to have access via FTP.

Are those reliable? Does it over heat or die after a while?

What do you host? Porn?

My ISP does this. If you wanted to set up a server how would you suggest dealing with this situation ?

A what server?

Get a cheap VPS and route all of your traffic through it via OpenVPN
