    Best Value Dedicated Server?

    What're the current recommended sites to get dedicated server hosting from?

    Have used kimisurf for my current and previous. My current package 2TB is now €7.99 a month, with 4TB being €13.99 a month + VAT, which is less than the €15.99 + VAT that I'm currently paying.

    I use this for my Plex Media Server, sharing media with my family. Assume that as there are a few techy people on here, that someone can hopefully flag up a bargain that I'm missing.

    Not sure what hardware is included in those prices but is indeed extremely cheap. I've used hetzner for many years until I moved all my stuff on AWS. I think their "server auction" page is especially interesting if you're looking for something on the cheap: https://www.hetzner.com/sb

    I understand why kimisufi might be tempting but I'd rather pay a bit more for decent hardware (eg 2xhdd/ssd) and proper support but it depends on what you're doing with the server and what are your requirements. However, for something similar to kimisufi, there's online.net, scaleway.com and aruba.it but I haven't used any of them, just heard about them so YMMV.

    2TB of storage? Or transfer? That does indeed seem very good value.

    It's indeed 2TB of storage, for a media center it might me worth it, the bigger cap i see is the 100Mbps transfer rate.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    I've used kimisufi for a few years, and they're great for my needs. Just wondering whether there is any better value out there, but it looks like I may be with the best value anyway.
