Floki NET Iceland HP DL360p G8, € 257.00/mo. on Linux Dedicated

Iceland HP DL360p G8 is a 1U rack server that combines the same Intel Xeon E5 2650v2 processors found in some blade configurations with more flexible front accessible drive bays. With two 8 core processors running at 2.6 GHz and boosting to 3.4 GHz, the platform delivers 16 cores and 32 threads, providing plenty of headroom for hosting multiple busy web sites, API services, mail servers or a cluster of virtual machines. It comes with 64 GB of DDR3 1600 ECC registered RAM in eight 8 GB modules and supports expansion up to sixteen 16 GB modules, so you can grow memory well beyond the base amount if your workloads become heavier. Storage is provided by two 480 GB SATA3 SSDs giving 960 GB of quick disk space, and the chassis can hold up to eight 2.5 inch SATA SSDs, allowing you to create RAID arrays tuned for redundancy or high throughput. Network connectivity consists of a 1 Gbit uplink with four additional 1 Gbit ports, making it possible to separate management, backup and public traffic, and the plan includes an allowance of 10 TB of data transfer per month. At 257 EUR per month this configuration is well suited to organisations that want a dependable 1U server in Iceland with room to grow without jumping all the way to the higher priced next generation platforms.

FlokiNET dedicated servers in Iceland pair HP ProLiant enterprise hardware, ECC memory and solid state storage with an offshore friendly hosting environment in a privacy focused Icelandic data centre. Each configuration is connected to a reliable network with distributed denial of service mitigation and includes 10 TB of traffic per month, giving most projects enough capacity for sustained hosting of websites, applications and services while keeping costs predictable. Customers have full root access and can install the Linux distribution, virtualisation layer or container platform they prefer, using the included SSDs and additional drive bays to build RAID layouts tuned for speed or redundancy. The provider is known for supporting free speech and privacy oriented projects such as NGOs, journalists, independent media and security researchers, and the Iceland jurisdiction benefits from strong data protection laws that appeal to organisations with higher than average compliance requirements. Management and support are delivered through a secure portal with ticket based communication and operational assistance such as manual reboots or hardware checks when required. Billing is straightforward, with flat recurring fees based on the chosen configuration and payment options that include bank transfer, credit card, PayPal and cryptocurrencies, represented here as Bitcoin, which is convenient for customers who prefer to minimise the amount of personal information attached to their infrastructure.
