Is this any good?

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ovh-kimsufi-dedicated-server-with-2gb-ram-500gb-hdd-unlimited-bw-from-2-99-a-month-1615371

£2.99/Month
500GB HDD
Unlimited Bandwidth (???)
100mbps connection
Intel Atom 1.6GHz Dual Core
2GB RAM

To continue from my email questions, is it possible pretty much have my own hosting with something like this?

Since for £35.88/year it works out pretty damn cheap for 500GB worth of hosting.

How do you reckon an Atom would do hosting a site and databases?  I'd be curious to see how it would handle it.  Other than that it seems like a sweet deal!

I'm guessing for nothing too taxing it will be fine. My local file/web server is pretty much equivalent to an Atom and does far more than web/mail serving.

This is where using RoundCube and IMAP might be suitable because 500GB space is more than enough for email storage.

You're probably right for the things you're going to do with it. If you are going to encrypt many connections it might be a little slow depending on the encryption type.

Very cool.  I guess it's just when I hear Atom it takes me back to when I had one in a netbook and it was pretty shit.  They have improved, and that guy proves it!

All depends what you wanted to do with it and probably how much RAM you had in your netbook.

Like I said, for some simple serving/hosting they are more than upto the task.

My caer.me server's hosted with them, on that same package I think. For my low-volume usage it's been perfectly fine, and having an actual dedicated server is really nice.
