What Happened To Affordability

You remember the days when Bandwagon Host was one of the most affordable VPS providers, ever. One way or the other you want those days to come back. We all do—those were great times!Things have changed and we have grown a lot. We stopped focusing on price and instead focused on Value.

This change reshaped us entirely, and we have:

• moved away from OpenVZ (which used to allow for much higher VM density per physical server)
• stopped deploying cheap second hand hardware (new hardware costs 6x–10x in upfront costs)
• switched to datacenter grade SSD storage and got rid of all hard drives
• stopped using single power feed servers and colocation facilities (nearly 2x increase in costs)
• upgraded our IP transit to introduce redundancy, more capacity, and better options like CN2 GIA
• expanded to 18 locations

All of this increased our costs by… A LOT.

Our decisions to go with more expensive options were intentional, with the sole goal of improving the service quality.

For the sake of transparency, our other costs also went up and we had no control over these:

• IPv4 addresses now cost more than $40 per single IP
• CN2 GIA IP transit costs more than doubled
• electricity, shipping, and other costs went way up

The main point is: becoming a rock-solid provider means the old days of dirt-cheap VPS are, unfortunately, gone.
