    Would anyone be interested in a $7 a month 1gb with 2gb burst, and 80gb of raid 10 space, and 1000gb of b/w vps?

    If so reply below with the fact that you would be interested, we are trying to make sure we have enough nodes deployed.

    There will also be a first month giveaway!

    That sounds good and all but - how about cPanel prices and uptime guarantees, # of IPs & server specs & vps specs? The numbers look real flashy but real cheap price makes it seem like it might be a weak server. Also how many people you planning to put on a server with those specs? And uplink speeds?

    I'm asking a lot but I'm interested. Currently I'm paying $35/month for 768mb ram, 30gb hd, w/cPanel.

    same question, how many VPS will be hosted inside one node?

    It is a Dell Poweredge with 16gb of ram and 2 Xeon CPU's with 6tb (3tb after raid).

    We would monitor it to make sure that we do not overfill it.

    I think you should consider getting more RAM and more CPU power than 6tb space, your ram to hd ratio is pretty far off. With 6TB hd and the amount of hd your offering, your looking at 66 possible clients on one server - then if you look at RAM your looking at no more than 16, leaving about 4.56tb of space which isn't touched..

    Agreed with x319, either the hd ratio is too far off or you're planning to oversell the RAM using vz technology. if it stays with only 16 VPS (or at least below 24) per node and the Xeon CPU is great (at least 54** or 55** series), it is an incredible deal for $7/month !! :)

    If it's only 16GB of RAM, you are quite clearly overselling the server. That's 16 clients per the dedicated RAM (not including server overhead). x$7... That's $112 per month. You show me where you can get a 16GB server with RAID10 for $112 per month in a reliable datacenter, and I'll buy 50 of them right now. That's also assuming you would be making absolutely no profit on any of these servers.

    Its called Colocation.

    Also I am looking into upgrading the ram, we closely monitor our dedicated servers load and ram usage.

    We will be changing the price to $7 first month $15 recurring.

    If you say so. At $7/mo, it would take a couple years just to pay for the server hardware, with power, bandwidth, other colo costs completely aside.

    The $15 definitely seems more reasonable.
