OVH OVH dedicated servers

I'm currently hosting websites, so faster the better.

---

I love CPU Power.

Ram? Minimum 16GB
Storage: Minimum 120GB SSD

I will host a couple of websites on it. My last server had 64GB DDR4, never managed to use even 8GB (!).

Any help? I heard that the game servers have better DDoS Protection than regular servers from OVH. Not sure if that's the case also, when you host a website?

Which one would be faster?
1.) Dedicated server MC-32 | GAME Range - OVH
2.) http://i.imgur.com/EGswROW.png

Intel Xeon E5-1630 v3 vs Core i7 4790K

HMM.

 

PassMark - CPU Performance Comparison

 

Choosing a server is really a personal decision.

I would choose the Gaming server. For $79 you can't really beat that price and the speed. Some things to consider.

1. The gaming server uses desktop hardware vs. server hardware on the other one.
2. The gaming server is $70 and the other is $100+
3. The gaming DDoS supports more layers - actually 1 more layer.
4. The gaming server is capped at 250 mbit where as the server is 500 mbit. Though that is outgoing only. Everything else, incoming and internal is 1 and 10 gbit.
5. The gaming server has less storage space. If that's important to you, you should get the other server.
6. The gaming server is better as single thread processes... which is why it's a gaming server.

 

The other server is inddeed pricey, so getting something cheaper but that has same power would be good. I'm really clueless, i feel I would save more money going with the i7. But would the speed be much different? Would it be slower, faster or same?

i7 has ddr3, i use zendopcache and my server has ddr4 now so not sure if that would has any big diff.

The gaming server has better single thread processes.. means.. which would be best for nginx/website? D:

 

I think the specs show that the i7 is going to be faster. Of course, that depends on what you're running. If you just have a simple couple of websites running, go with the gaming server.

The RAM isn't going to make a huge difference IMO.

If you decide it's not for you. Just put in a support ticket and OVH will pro-rate the remaining amount on the month and credit it toward a new server.

 

Standing between these two now.



Got money to waste, obviously. I would not be able to use half of these resources.. Just these big servers, nice CPU gets me every time

 

I used CPUBoss, and it seems that the V2 is actually faster.. Not completely sure lol. Intel Xeon E5-1650 v3 vs E5 1650 v2

 

Well, so what I should go with is obviously the newest I assume? It's also cheaper, which is kind of mind fudging me right now.

 

Bought it now. Interested in any bench marks?

Yeah. I've installed so many servers with centmin, this has been the fastest one. I am running the benchmark as we speak.

Hope this server is worth the money. It's crazy looking at 12 threads, in HTOP.. lol

 

Just got done running the bench.

Is there any file that contains all the information?`It's a lot lol, the downloads took some time (softlayer)

 

Hi everyone,

Actually I have two Linode 12GB so I'm paying $160 every month. I'd like to change to OVH but I'm not sure which server to choose. Linode has SSD and 300GB.
Unfortunately in OVH I see the servers with 300GB SSD at least and raid hardware starts from $220.

Any suggestions? Should I keep on Linode since the performance will be much better due to SSD and disk capacity?
