4 core bare metal server? I don't get it.. how is it worth putting that in a rack?

I'll be updating the list as people suggest providers, offers change, etc.

Hetzner
Locations: Germany
2.49 Euro for 1vCPU, 2GB RAM, 20GB (Local SSD or Ceph), 20TB Transfer
https://www.hetzner.com/cloud

Scaleways
Locations: Paris, Amsterdam
2.99 Euro for 2 x86 64 Bit Cores, 2GB RAM, 50GB SSD, No Transfer Cap (200Mbit/s)
https://www.scaleway.com/

Also, I might make this into a Google Sheet, if there is enough interest

I do have a few at Hetzner, they are actually not the fastest around. But Hetzner offers awesome customer service

Try https://contabo.de/?show=vps instead maybe

Uh, didn't know they have an english site. Anyway, a friend uses Contabo and they perform really well. Maybe not the cheapest around.

I've been thinking about this place:

https://www.ehvps.com/index.php

He offers nested virtualization on VPSs.

ARM cores can be packed in very densely compared to normal servers. So something like 40 of those 4 core servers in a 4u high rack. Compared to even blade systems, they pack a lot more into the same amount of space.

I'm currently using TurnkeyInternet.net: https://turnkeyinternet.net/cloud-hosted-virtual-servers-vps/

So far it's been excellent, no issues at all and performance seems great.

I did a black friday deal for the 8CPU, 8GB Ram, 80GB SSD for $20 /month

@dafyre the control panel. You have to sign in first, unfortunately.

Why not? that's like a beefed up Raspberry Pi.

That's nothing. You can get many hundreds of cores PER U for really high end cores.

Been very happy with Hetzner so far

Not sure I see the issue here. The only Payment provider I'm not familiar with is Moneybookers. The others are legit AFAIK.
