Ask HN: Who are the best dedicated server providers right now?
I'm looking to upgrade our dedicated server infrastructure and I'm trying to shop around for some good deals. I'm running into a lot of providers that are either single-homed, have fairly crazy bandwidth prices, offer very old hardware or use consumer grade parts like SSDs.
My requirements are eight 3+ GHz CPU cores (Haswell or newer), 64+ GB RAM, 10+ TB outbound bandwidth and a mix of HDD / SSD storage (using enterprise-class drives!). Network should have a good mix of peering and not rely on a single carrier such as Telia / NTT as many seem to. Budget is < $1k/month.
Right now OVH is looking like my best option as they seem to be the only provider offering 4th / 5th gen Intel CPUs with Intel SSDs at a reasonable price, and their own network with peering at lots of major IXes.
Anyone have any other good recommendations?
