The price you’re after, without bandwidth, only makes sense if a provider is sitting on the hardware and has no prospects of renting it out. They might offer that price just that one time, just to get it out the door. Then it just barely makes sense at the price you asked, but without bandwidth.

In europe, costs are higher in general, especially for electricity, which this kind of server uses a lot of. It simply is not a realistic price.

A “good deal” is about 50% more than your budget while a typical price is more like double.
