Kimsufi vs Hetzner - what deal is best?

Posted On // Leave a Comment

Just wanted to test some dedicated servers this month. Long time since last time, around 10 years. I got my Kimsufi KS-3 Core™ i5-750 4c / 4t 2.67 GHz+ 16 GB RAM 2 TB 100 Mbps (rated at 3740 ) for €14.99/mo and I found this excellent guide to how to install Windows on it.


Today I got a Hetzner Intel Core i7-2600 4c/8t, 16 GB RAM, 2x HDD 3,0 TB SATA with 1gbit "unlimited" BW (max 20 TB/month then 10mbit speed the rest of the time). This server is rated at 8307, over twice the power then the Kimsufi server, with 3 times more disk, and 1gbit connection and not 100mbit as at Kimsufi. The price €27/mo - no setup fee.


But here I can't find any guide to how to install my own .iso file with Windows Server. Beside paying them €21 to use their LARA system.


I also see that I can get a Intel Core i7-3770, 32 GB RAM, 2 x 3 TB server for just €6/mo more at Hetzner (€33/mo) (rated at 9445)


Any way to install Windows on Hetzner beside paying them for LARA? And beside that, what deal is best of the KS-3 and Core i7-2600 (or Core i7-3770). Most bang for my money.. :D


Thinking about funding this with closing down a VPS or two, still keep my main servers at iwStack, but closing down a couple of other servers, and use the dedicated server for several tasks.
