We’ve been offering VPS for a few months now and have been paying close attention to our competitors. After doing the math several times I’m still baffled as to how people can offer 512mb ram on a VPS and sell it for $10 and make a profit.<\/p>\n
Say the each host node has 24GB of ram, this allows for roughly 44 VPS giving the node some free ram for cache. Now 44*10 = 440, $440 is what it cost to maintain a server with 24gb ram + bandwidth, power and high performance disk. Where do you make profit at this price?<\/p>\n
And it seems like the cheap host always say “we don’t oversell”, well how do you not oversell something like that, whats the point of running a business if you don’t make any money? A lot of the providers are offering 512MB under xen, As far as I know its a LOT harder to oversell a Xen node than it is OpenVZ.<\/p>\n
Regardless, even if you do somehow run this server for less than 300\/mo I wouldn’t consider the profit made effective once you factor in paying people to handle support tickets ect.
