Ask HN: Best website for finding dedicated servers?

7 points by capableweb 4y ago ↗ HN

I'm currently on the lookout for a dedicated server located in Europe with unmetered connection (at least 1 Gbps), and previously I've used websites like oneprovider.com and dedimax.com to finding servers (all around the world, not just Europe), but maybe there are better ones out there?

Hetzner is an obvious one which I've used in the past and liked, but the amount of locations they offer is lacking to say the least.

All aggregators/websites are of interest, not just ones focused on Europe and unmetered connections, but the website needs to at least have filters for location and connection type so it gets easy to find the right server for the right job.

Ah, also previous threads on the subject would be of interest, I could only find one so far:

I've used serverhunter.com but be wary of the fakes as there are unknown "companies" who place their offers of powerful servers for cheap prices only to take your money and never deliver. It needs more reviews but so far the few of them are already useful and the site also provides several filtering options that can make browsing more specific and in many cases - easier.

And no - I'm not related to this site or it's owner/s in any way, I stumbled upon it on a reddit post 1 year ago and found it useful.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm guessing in the end you'll get your money back if the payment was done via serverhunter.com or no?

https://lowendbox.com/ is the classic one, though I haven't used it in several years. The deals here tend to be limited-time promo codes, and the cheapest providers tend to be the type that will disappear overnight along with your data. I suspect this is true of all suspiciously cheap dedis everywhere, so plan accordingly.
