What does Brexit mean for EU customers? Do we slip paying VAT now? 24% in my case.
Well you can have an Intel Atom N2800 / 4GB DDR3 / 2Tb HDD dedicated server at OVH for 8 EUR / month.
And, like all their entry level servers, it's 100 Mbps max, which really hurts when you've got fiber at home.
But in some cases they can be convenient.
They have a lot of different offers at various prices (Kimsufi / So you start / OVH: all the same company basically).
Those VPS, while limited, actually come with what I would consider a fairly reasonable monthly quota (32T) for a low cost plan.
On the non-quantitive side I really prefer to run ARM over ugly Intel.
In case you didn't know, a Scaleway C1 is
* 2.99 per month, billed hourly
* 1.00 per month for the network (unlimited) and you can drop that if you have other machines in the same datacenter and do not need direct internet access
* ~ 1.00 per month for VAT (I guess that's 0,00 if you are outside of the EU)
Of course they are not for high performance computing, but there are enough use cases where the performance is prefectly good enough.
I use them for ssh jumpboxes and find their latency better than AWS EC2, which is much more expensive.
