For #ServersCoop's own VPS hosting, running on donated hardware in Ashton, we're shooting for "ethical and cheap". What do you think of this pricing?
Micro - 0.5GB RAM, 1 CPU - £5/month
Tiny - 1GB RAM, 1 CPU - £7.50/month
Small - 2GB RAM, 2 CPU - £16.50/month
Medium - 4GB RAM, 3 CPU - £35/month
Large - 8GB RAM, 4 CPU - £75/month
(we're considering allocating 25GB disk to all servers to start with, storage pricing beyond that to be decided)

I can get a "memory-optimized" vm from my current provider with double the RAM for less than half of that.

@suetanvil interesting, thank you! Do you know if there are any restrictions on the "memory optimised" machines? Or are they doing a special on them?
The general purpose servers seem a bit more comparable:
- lunanode s.half - 0.5 GB RAM, 1 CPU - $4.5
- servers.coop micro - 0.5 GB RAM, 1 CPU - £5
But yeah the lunanode m.1 is $3.50 for 1 GB, 1 CPU

@serverscoop seems too much when compared to hetzner and contabo, which have cheaper and more powerful instances.

Personally, I'd definitely like Servers.coop to be able to get down to those prices as a default, and I think we'll get there with scale (if the project works out 😅).
What we could start sooner – maybe before launch – is working out a sliding scale / solidarity rate; we do that at @autonomic, it'll be interesting to see how it'd fit into VPS hosting.

@serverscoop apparently Server hosting is dirt cheap in Germany compared to other places but from looking at what I pay for my servers, this seems a bit steep.
I‘ve got some of VMs with 8GB ram and 120GB SSD as well as 4 dedicated cores for 9€ (~10$) and two with 6 cores, 16GB ram and 320GB ssd for 15,50€.

@dysphoricunicorn wow, thanks for the info! Would you mind sharing which company this is with?
"market research" i guess
@serverscoop it’s netcup: netcup.de/vserver/
From what I can tell the website is in German language only :/

@serverscoop I'll also have to say this is a bit too expensive compared to other options.
For example, OVHCloud has 1 CPU, 2 GB memory, and unmetered bandwidth available for $6. See here: https://us.ovhcloud.com/vps/compare/

@serverscoop I can not edit my vote, but I accidentally said that it was too high. I meant to say that the prices were about right.
