Hello,
I'm currently setting up a business for providing cheap VPS and managed VPS services located in Finland.
Customer can choose from KVM, Xen or OpenVZ, although my preference would be KVM or XEN for setting up the VPS hosting.
To start with here are some details:
- two to three locations in Finland where to host the VPS
- dedicated IP v4
- no IPV6 available from the operators yet
- internal IPS are possible
- 100 Mbps internet connectivity to start with which will be upgraded to 300 Mbps quite soon after service has launched at least in one location. This is a promise.
- currently internal 1 Gigabit network
- 10 GBe network for shared HA storage also being worked on
CPANEL yet to be decided:
- based on feedback it can either be SolusVM, Virtualizor or a yet unpublished custom new CPANEL which has been in development for quite some time already. This cpanel will be published this coming week. More details later.
Price will be determined by Low End Talk guidelines, which is starting from $7 with no setup fee. For payments we can provide MasterCard, VISA, Paypal or wire transfers.
I already have the servers for setting this up. I have already colocated some servers in one datacenter and rest are sitting waiting for connectivity. Two other locations are being worked on.
Server hardware is Dell servers with enough RAM, RAID backed storage. We will not oversell RAM, or HDD.
Basic 7$ VPS might be:
- 256MB RAM
- 30GB HDD
- 100 GB Bandwidth
Basic 10$ VPS might be - 512MB RAM - 50GB HDD - 200 GB BW
Basic 15$ VPS might be - 1024MB RAM - 75 GB HDD - 300 GB BW
Basic 20$ VPS might be - 2048MB RAM - 100 GB HDD - 400 GB BW
Basic 25$ VPS might be - 3 GB RAM - 150 GB HDD - 500 GB BW
Basic 30$ VPS might be: - 4 GB RAM - 200 GB HDD - 750 GB BW
Options include managed VPS service as well.
I can also provide scalable and HA MySQL database cluster as a service on internal network and on dedicated servers, so it doesn't count as used bandwidth, if you're interested. Also possible: PostgreSQL.
Language wise support will be in: English or Finnish.
If your feedback is positive, this VPS service offering will be ready for launch later this fall.
These would be the cheapest VPS prices in Finland. Generally one would have to pay minimum of 11 euros + Value Added Tax ( 11+VAT euros can get you a 50 GB BW, 10 Mbps connectivity, 15 GB HDD, 256 MB RAM) to 50 euros per month to get any VPS in Finland.
You can contact me directly finlandvps@yahoo.com if you want to get hooked up early to the service.
Any feedback is appreciated. Also I'm willing to work on VPS options and offerings such as BW, but also note that BW is a bit expensive in Finland and is usually restricted unless you pay large $$ for BW (one place asks 25$ for overused 1 TB BW and dedicated 100 Mbps is like 500-800$/month depending on the location) .
However I'll do my best to offer service options based on your feedback and options you would like.
Also, even over a short period of time, if things start well, and this service is wanted, then options like BW can be increased (one location will get 300 Mbps fairly easy- but 1 Gigabit is a lot more expensive).
Thanks
