Opinions on VDS/Hybrid Server Plans

[SSH]

Hi, I want to see if there's demand for what I'm offering and if you guys think it's worth the money.

Half Server:
10C/20T (3.0GHz/3.6GHz)
50GB DDR3 RAM
2600GB Striped 2xRAID5/RAIDZ1 SATA SSD Storage (Better than RAID0 performance)
5Gbps fully dedicated, unshared port, unlimited BW with Path.net DDoS protection (best on the market)
Free IPs up to 128, upon request
$230/mo

Quarter Server:
5C/10T (3.0GHz/3.6GHz)
25GB DDR3 RAM
1300GB Striped 2xRAID5/RAIDZ1 SATA SSD Storage (Better than RAID0 performance)
2.5Gbps fully dedicated, unshared port, unlimited BW with Path.net DDoS protection (best on the market)
Free IPs up to 64, upon request
$125/mo

Let me know if you think these would sell or if you have any suggestions.

Thanks

At the end of the day, splitting a server into 4 chunks hardly qualifies as a VDS and is simply now a glorified VPS.

As for some other points:

1. This community is probably not the right target audience for this type/spec or "tier" of service. There is definitely a legitimate need out there elsewhere, but kids wanting the most dedicated wam per penny aren't really interested in logic
   
2. Having a fully dedicated and unshared port can result in MASSIVE cost increases, especially when through someone like path.net. This should definitely be an addon option instead of default, or at least the ability to revert to a shared line.
3. About path.net, I admit they're damn good (in most cases) when it comes to fulfilling their promises. Although they're not my #1 choice, they're still quality enough to be respected (assuming proper implementation). I've still had numerous counts of relatively small attacks hitting larger network clients of mine and being able to take down both OVH and a server behind path.net with only like 150Mbps of traffic due to the attack taking advantage of a vulnerability.
4. Who is the upstream provider, is this owned or rented?

Hi,

I'd agree that they're basically VPSs, but I'd say hybrid or VDS is a more accurate name for it as all the stuff is dedicated and split in those exact increments.

1. I agree, but I couldn't think of another place to reasonably post this.
2 and 3. Path.net offers colocation (and dedicated servers) through their sister/consumer brand, Tempest and they're extremely cheap for 10G ports. They've improved their filters a lot recently and at this point, if you have it set up correctly, you're impenetrable.
4. The provider is Path.net directly, the machine will be owned.

Thanks for the feedback.

does not seem to be worth the money to me, the hardware is pretty dated and Minecraft servers these days with intensivity of 1.16-1.17 versions are in need of faster processors.

These servers don't necessarily have to be for Minecraft. The main selling point for these is the bandwidth and the DDoS protection. You could use one of these to proxy a Minecraft server (HAProxy) or host a large file server or database, or literally, anything else that can take advantage of multithreading and would need to be protected from DDoS attacks (VPN? TeamSpeak server?). Most providers who give 10G dedicated/unmetered charge well over $700/mo for it.
