| I have been a happy Hetzner customer for the past year. I have a EX 4S server, with 32GB memory, 2x 3TB Hard Drives in Raid 1 and core I7. I installed VMWare ESX 5 on this machine and this is essentially my test lab on the cloud ( I am an information security engineer). So, for the past year, I am able to host : * Windows 2008 serverS (note the S, I have 4 of them running right now) * a virtualized firewall (PFSENSE), * one of the windows 2008 is my M$ Dev server (Visual Studio 2010 and 2012) * several linux machines (backtrack, ubuntu server for zabbix, ubuntu 12.04 for all the atlassian suite), * OpenVPN vpn server in debian * FreeNAS machine * Many other machines which I start and stop as I please, for testing purposes. All this + 14 public IPV4 and a /64 public ipv6 for ONLY $109 dollars a month. I don't have much latency issues and this machine is what has allowed me to drop my loaded desktop and work with just my rMBP because I have all the power I need for my work at just a SSH or RDP distance. I suggest trying them out, specially the EX 5, which only costs 59 EUROS. Don't forget that if you are not in the Europe, you don't pay VAT (so it's another 19% discount) Let me know if you have any specific questions. Too bad they don't have coupons or referrals :) |
