Exactly. Every offer I've gotten has been in the 99 dollar range, couple have been for managed servers even. I posted a thread looking for FDCServer feedback, they have an atom 330 200gig hdd 2gigs ram and unmetered 10mb for $49 a month. No one seems to like them on here though, but they get nice reviews on webhostingtalk.com.
Like I said in my original post, I'm just looking for a small cheap server. It's the ns2, backup MX server, and failover webserver. There's a couple of small websites on it. It's only pushed a couple of gigs of traffic so far this month.
This is what I currently have:
amd 2800+
1.5gig ram, 100gig hdd
1000 gigs per month on a 100mbit connection
openbsd
16 ip addresses
$52 a month
root@ns2:~# uptime
1:05AM up 223 days, 11:48, 5 users, load averages: 0.27, 0.29, 0.25
No one seems to want to match or beat it though. I pay quarterly, and it renews on the 16th so it looks like I'll be staying here until next year at least.
