DigitalOcean DigitalOcean has some nice new plans

Hi there,

---

DigitalOcean | Free $50 Credit just updated their plan. In most DC they have a new type of Droplet, and I didn't know that the old ones were with a SHARED vCPU's. Now they really offer Dedicated CPU's

 

Better I selected 1x SSD instead of 6x SSD. That makes a big difference in the price.
And some even give 40 CPU. They use the Intel XEON PLATIMUM with only 24 CPU.
How they manage to do that, I don't know.

Yep,

Got something from ServerHub - Dedicated Servers, Web Hosting, Virtual Private Servers and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) . On their site they have only XEON GOLD, not PLATINUM so asked them to build one. Even all DC I want they can place it.

Asked him about Amsterdam, and some other locations and what kind of XEON PLATINUM they use, and they do built them custom if I want.

 

Small company, even talked to the Owner. And ports up to 40GB/bps....

 

Just asked them about these negative reviews, but they are only about their web hosting plans.

But yeah, sales keep sales. , and they can build 3 of them in different DC's with a 2-year contract even with special prices. Can really select whatever I want (CPU - RAM - Nvme RAID)
