Topic: Cheap dedicated hosting (Read 961 times)
Last bump
The prices are much, much better than any hosting providers that exists or will exist in the near future, I am still curious as to the reception of the public.
I would consider it - I'm already paying for my WordPress blogs with BTC. My current web-host has been good, but it is a tad slow. (See for yourself - http://www.levell.net). I'm working on a new Bitcoin web-site that will need Apache, PHP, and MySQL. If/when it takes off, I'll probably looking for a faster server than what I've got.
How much are you paying for the current one?

I have the possibility of pursuing the founding of a Bitcoin company that would provide cheap, reliable dedicated server hosting. Prices are as follows:
DS-1:
CPU - Intel i5
Cores - 4 cores at 4 threads
Freq - 3.1GHz
RAM - 8GB
Disk - 2x 1TB SATA2
RAID - SOFT - 0/1
Connection - 100Mbps, 5TB traffic/month
Price - 0.95BTC/Month
DS-2:
CPU - Intel Xeon E3 - 1342v2
Cores - 4 cores at 8 threads
Freq - 3.4GHz
RAM - 32GB
Disk - 2x 120GB SSD
RAID - SOFT - 0/1
Connection - 100Mbps
Price - 1.7BTC/Month
DS-3:
CPU - Intel Xeon E5 - 1620
Cores - 4 cores at 8 threads
Freq - 3.6GHz
RAM - 64GB
Disk - 2x 2TB SATA3
RAID - SOFT - 0/1
Connection - 500Mbps
Price - 2.8BTC/Month
My only issues are:
1.) How to stop Bitcoin users from hosting illegal content and misusing the servers for illicit purposes? I do not want to suffer the legal responsibility and financial loss, for this purpose I will need to screen every user, I can either:
A) Limit every user to a minimum of a 3 month package, this way if he gets caught there is some financial loss on his side and hopefully that will discourage renewing the service under a different fake name etc.
B) Sacrifice the anonymity of every user and call every person up, have a chat, ask a bunch of questions, ask for a copy of government issued documents etc.
2.) Is there a big market for people looking to purchase servers with BTC? Would YOU purchase a server? Would you recommend us to a friend?
