While this is obviously just an advertisement for your services, and has absolutely no place outside the advertisement section of the forum, you are generally going to be better off as a company avoiding extreme budget services like this, particularly when it comes to VPS. The lower the cost, the far greater chance for abuse. At least that's what we have noticed, and most other companies have as well, in that price range. Just something to take into consideration. Secondly, are you really planning on running a VPS node on a desktop-grade system, with non-ECC RAM, and a single hard drive?? I'm sincerely hoping you're joking with those node specifications. You're going to be needing to put 120 VPSs on that system just to fill it up. There's no way that setup is going to handle anywhere close to that amount.
We have been thinking about this, as far as now our plans and prices are standard never noticed any abuse. But we have to take this as a consideration for lower cost.
And of course as long as you don't mind dealing with any potential abuse should it come up, it really isn't a big deal. There are a lot of low-end VPSs out there with those exact specs (128mb for $15 yearly), and they are still in business. The biggest issue I would have is still your server. It's simply not at all suitable for any kind of VPS node. I wouldn't even run shared hosting on a server like that.
Personally, I would never run desktop-grade hardware in an enterprise environment. Some people do. We used to run I7's for backup server. But just go with a nice Xeon with ECC RAM. Secondly, it's just not safe to run a single hard drive in any server. At the very least, you want 2 drives in RAID1, so that one can fail without taking down the entire system. However, a single drive setup or even RAID1 setup is going to take a considerable performance hit when compared to RAID10...especially if you plan on putting 120+ VPSs on that server, which at less than $1/mo. profit per VPS, that's what you're going to need to do. I would never run a VPS server with anything less than RAID10, simply due to performance issues. We run Xeon setups on all our servers (from shared up to VPS) with hardware RAID 10. Of course it's going to cost more. You need to buy a better processor, ECC RAM, a hardware RAID controller, and a minimum of 4 hard drives, but you're also going to get a lot better performance and security from failing drives.
WSWD@ They are selling VPS $15/Year. And 2TB HDD with 16GB RAM + i3 nearly cost like 300 to 400USD. If they even put 120users then the yearly income will be $1800. And the yearly spent 300x12=3600USD. Tell me How they cover it up? + There is Hugh network Overselling means the network will be slow. If they got any limit from the data center then... I don't know..! The most people you see running cheap vps they actually using (AMD or i3 single (No core), 4GB RAM, 1TB Single HDD and massive overselling) - Well, they tell you many things like - We Colocation at the data center or we get our hardware from Windows Garage SALE or something like that never possible. I'm not talking about this particular cheap vps selling company I was talking about most cheap vps selling companies who still remains. Hostmasti@ If you want my honest opinion - think about this twice before offer. And please make it next time at the advertisement section. Thanks.
In regards to VPS cores, it really depends on what you're doing. If your VPS is going to ping a ton of IPs or use certain software, a single core is actually preferred. $15 a year for those stats are so attractive, but rohit09 is right on the money with the cost analysis. I don't see any way of making up enough revenue to cover cost, unless there are a bunch of extras you can add for some $. It almost seems that in webhosting there is almost a fixed average cost and anything too far above or below this price level usually never ends well. If you can make this work at $15 a year, do it. Figure it out OP, or change your approach and put the price to a more reasonably expected level with server upgrades.
It's a collocated server, so it's not about that how we are going to cover up the cost with profit. We are not completely depending on single source, Money is not a matter here. We are expecting feedback as a customers not a web hosting provider or reseller.
