VPS for Asia/EU Visitors

deepak_leb

Dear team,

I would like to know what will be the best location for a VPS - to serve the India/Asia/EU traffic Visitors for a site.

EU based Servers/ US based Servers / SG based Servers ??????I know it's not.

Budget - Max of 40$/yr.

Specs in need -

forgot to mention, KVM

->2/1cores,
->2GB ram,
->15GB SSD,
-> 40Gb HDD (if possible)
-> 1 TB or more Bandwidth.

-> Scalable options preferred(will pay ).

I don't know it's a sustainable.

But for a Christmas, with such a deal will jingle.

Any offers ?

If you are cool with Xeon and SSD, I can do this in Germany

->2 cores,
->2GB ram,
->20GB SSD,
-> 20Gb HDD (NAT VPS, you can mount using sshfs )
-> 2 TB or more Bandwidth.

$40/year

For EU/India a VM on the Hetzner network would be a good bet. Maybe @seriesn can cook something up for you.

Your budget is pretty tight. If SSD cached and OpenVZ is good enough for you, the VZ2048 at Inception Hosting (@AnthonySmith) would be a fit. That's on the very good Clouvider network in the UK.

If you leave the HDD out of the question, First Root or Netcup might also have something for you.

Will keep on @seriesn .

OP are you from or represent LEB? Your handle seems to indicate that

Doesn't seem so by this

Seems like a genuine LE* user.

deepak_leb

I was once an LEB user, from where I came to know LET & from where I came to know LES.

O.O # so, my originity is from leb. So that's the reason for naming of my handler.

Well, rest is history ?

@rahul @vyas

And finally am a noob ?

CloudFlare best choice to serve the world with CDN

You need to get a tag which reads legacy noob or historical noob.

Maybe,

But pricing nowhere near

As OP wants.

cloudflare is free.

@cybertech said: cloudflare is free.

I admit that they have a Free Plan which states no limit AKA Unlimited

Cloudflare's Free plan has no limit on the amount of bandwidth your visitors use or websites you add.

But a friend of mine managed to push the limit to the maximum as hits on his website skyrocketed and then browser requests were served with a different less fancy cloudflare error page( black text on a white page, with no mention of any ray ID)

I would like to specifically mention that his website was neither a personal websites nor a blogs.

I am not sure if

mentioned by OP falls under personal websites / blogs.

It's my pleasure @vyas

Considering LES is doing well even with this traffic, would be interesting to know what traffic caused errors

CloudFlare is hardly the best CDN (mediocre at best) and it's not really free.
In case you didn't know, they turn off "expensive" PoPs on the free plan at times, so e.g. Australian visitors will get routed to LAX and other stuff.

True have experienced that before, but still ok most of the time and for $0. Not sure if Argo routing helps though

Cloudflare's free plan doesn't cache content at their CDN nodes for a long time (given the massive number of users they have, it'd be impossible to have fully primed caches for every single site) so in some cases you'll actually see worse performance when using Cloudflare compared to just having servers closer to the majority of your users. Priority for their bandwidth, optimized routes, and CDN storage go to their paid customers, the free users just get whatever is left over.

Any thoughts on Amazon CloudFront?

CloudFront is good! BunnyCDN is also pretty good, and relatively cheap.

_MS_

Get a VPS in London (or Germany). Because even if you buy your VPS elsewhere, and use Cloudflare (Free), your Asia traffic will be routed to London location anyway. You won't get access to Cloudflare's Delhi/Singapore/Melbourne locations on the free plan. The Bandwidth is expensive there so these location are for the paid users only.

Rahul

Is LES on Cloudflare's free plan ?

@poisson said: I am also very curious.

The website was a Pirate Bay(TPB) clone. So, when ever the real deal suffered downtime.

This kind of unusual
