Well... seems absurdly low price if the CPU is good. Also note that you don't know the actual speed of the CPU, so you may get indeed a 2 core VM, but running extremely slow.

I have however some doubts about the overall quality of the service... I mean, it's cheap... too cheap to be any good.

BTW note the following:

Unlimited traffic: No additional costs due to traffic (if average traffic consumption continuously exceeds 20 Mbit/s over a timespan of at least 5 days the connection is switched to 10 Mbit/s).

Written at the very bottom.

For a change.... they are good VPS servers running i7 2600 CPU

Giga have been around for awhile. Its always good to do your research before selecting where to host.

[Spudinski]

Uhh... i7-2600 is a really bad choice for a server.

Uhh... i7-2600 is a really bad choice for a server.

Well it would depend on several things.

What version of the 2600 it is as there is 3 and the intended use for it.

Its like going to purchase a PC people just instantly gravitate to the one thats advertised as a 3.6ghz or the highest advertised speed rate and ram when what they should be doing is looking at bench marks for their intended use.
