Here's what I have in mind for a dedi in order to revitalize my operations and possibly expand into VM and game server hosting. Lets see whats out there.
Xeon Haswell CPU, E3-1230V3 or better
At Least 8GB of ram, 16GB preferred
At least 2x 250GB HDD- it MUST have 2 physical devices so that I can use RAID1E for data integrity. If you could get me SSDs or 1TB drives without going over price target I would love it, but I know its unlikely.
IPV4 /29 or better with option to add more later. How many more depends on how many clients I end up with.
Native IPv6 /64 or /48 This is required. If you do not have native IPv6 yet, you need to get with the times. I have quite a few friends in Europe that might be visiting this, and portions of Europe no longer have direct IPv4 connectivity- they are forced to use ISP provided NATs to get access to IPv4 hosts.
At least 1TB bandwidth per month on a gigabit port. I doubt I'll get anywhere near it, but you'd better deliver if you promise that much.
Pricewise, I would like to see this in the $25-100 monthly range. I know that's going to be tough to meet, but lets see what you can come up with for a deal. My budget for this project is extremely tight, so I need as much bang for the buck as I can get. Offers that exceed $100 a month will not be considered.
Location is flexible as long as it has good connectivity. I've had operations all over North America and even a few VMs in Luxembourg before. But I expect a clean network that isn't going to be down for half a day every 2 weeks.
