  I am one of their customers, just wanted to say that I haven't had any issues with their hosting.

  Say $200 for ME1 colo. $2400/yr for just the fee. So that's 24 users on this hardware.

  That's 12tb of bandwidth and 100gb of ram.

  Damn this is one massively competitive industry! Not even sure where the profit margins come from.

    • You put a lot more than 100GB of RAM in a server
    • Oversell the bandwidth so you might not even need 12TB
    • Hoping that other customers do not use OzBargain and pay full website price, where 4GB VPS is $30/month

  Still trying to understand terms used by hosting providers.

  If my understanding is correct, this is a bare bones Linux server, like an AWS EC2, and therefore will allow installation of Golang/NodeJS etc.?

  Whilst a VM with cPanel is restricted to just PHP/WordPress?

  Many thanks!

    Generally the distinction in terminology will be "Web hosting" which is as you say just wp/php etc and a "vps" (or other more expensive hosting) which is an actual operating system in which you can do anything and need to do everything.

    So yeah this is like an EC2 instance.

    Hey,

    What incipient said is correct. It's more like what AWS would call EC2. You get your own virtual machine that runs its own OS and for almost all purposes you can treat it as its own machine.

    We offer operating system templates so you don't have to do that yourself but we also offer an array of ISOs if you wish to make it more custom.

    You could install cPanel, Node, Go and anything you wish. The only limits are the resources you pay for.

  Hey op can you fix the pricing. It's giving me all sorts on the page. Every time I click on your link the price goes up. It's at $300 now =(

  I think you mean $25/3mo+GST also?

  • 

    EmployeeTrewq @ FlowVPS on 11/02/2019 - 15:21

    Hey,

    It's likely you have multiple products in your cart. If you goto https://billing.flowvps.com/cart.php?a=view you can remove the extra.

    Pricing is $25 per 3 months including GST with the coupon above which automatically gets applied with the link.

    Feel free to PM me or send me an email at [email protected] if you still have trouble.

  Any opportunity for something with less RAM but a little more storage? Looking to run an OwnCloud instance with very low traffic but high initial volume (personal photo backups, and no, not 'those' sort of personal!)

  Edit: I've got about 70Gb of content currently, I don't want to use Dropbox / OneDrive whatever because I'd rather manage and encrypt my own content

    Generally bulk storage is a bit expensive. It's say look for some hdd backed options, not the faster ssd/nmve vps'

      Nod, I figured but most appear to be pushing SSD / NVMe, it's a bit of a cluster trying to find something

        I'll PM you with something in the morning. I'm sure we can work something out.

  Any chance of getting two of these combined into one VM (and only one IPv4 address) for a similar price?

    PM'd you earlier.

    A pizza can be sold by the slice, everyone who buys a slice gets to enjoy the pizza. A slice has exactly the same properties as the pizza as a whole - it tastes the same, it's cooked the same and it is all the same temperature.

    In this scenario the pizza is a server (computer hardware designed to be always on) in a data centre (building made to house servers). A VPS (Virtual private server) is the pizza slice.

  Would this work as a game server for 6-8 people playing things like Garry's mod or minecraft for a few hours a week?
