Hi, code doesn’t work
Nope, code not worked.
Please try again now. Thanks.
Where are the non-US locations? Full?
Hi Sunbeam, We sincerely appreciate your interest in RackNerd’s services. Our order forms contain live inventory, so if you see a location out of stock/not available, it simply means we’ve sold out that location, though I can say we recognize when this happens, and are always working to replenish inventory.
With as popular as RackNerd services have been, we’ve been replenishing, and selling out quite quickly so it’s a real challenge π I would be happy to look at what can be done for you, if you send me an e-mail dustin@racknerd.com with the desired region and i’ll see what magic can be made.
Thanks for the extra entries! Good luck everyone!
Just a FYI this is a report of the 6gb system. CPU is from Q3’13 and its using DDR3 RAM. I know we shouldn’t expect too much for these but still wanted to let you all know. Mostly its the SSD speed that are disappointing to me.

Hi Tester-Anon – RackNerd offers performance, at incredible pricing. So as you mentioned, with the price you’re paying, not much is to be expected, yet we deliver more than is expected to be fair. We’re able to offer heavily discounted prices while using previous generations that are still designed with enterprise gear, because we don’t have to factor in high CapEX rather mostly OpEx.
I do know that at times, as you suggested within your feedback performance can be improved and we’re always aligned with that stance too. So if you’d like for us to weigh your options, and what can be done, simply e-mail dustin@racknerd.com and reference this post, so when we discuss, I recall our conversation here and dig with intel from the start π
I should also mention, for those seeking more, we have NVMe setups, Ryzen, and so on, so depending on your needs/budget, we can deliver π
