Hello,
I am just wondering where I can get a VPS server that has at least the following specs:
200GB disk space
8cores
4GB ram
2 IP addresses
Cpanel included with WHMCS license
root access
Server management.
Do servers like this even exist?
Tx

Preferred location is UK because of the support hours during my time zone. But I don't mind in the US.
No I havent tried the offer forums. From my research I can't find any providers with disk space of these volumes.

You should be able to find someone accommodating your request, perhaps look for a provider from the offer forum you like and ask for a custom quote.

Well I will recommend to go for a dedicated instead of such high end VPS , I think that will be most suited solution , however if you still want to go with such High End VPS you may try HostDime. They seems to be providing Cpanel and other freebies with their Fully Managed VPS product.

Just out of curiosity, what is your budget? Disk space and ram is not really out of line. Your need for 8 cores is a little high. As mentioned, it might be cheaper for you do a dedicated server or a Hybrid Dedicated in this case.

If you have a good budget, why not go for a dedicated server instead?
With dedi, can be assured of the entire hardware resources for your usage.

It possibly with the specification costumes, but as was said above, better choose dedicate server with such needs, you will get more resources

UK VPS is not cheap, especially if you want SSD storage! The 8 cores requirement is not really an issue as you will probably hardly use any of that, and 4GB RAM is nothing either as most decent providers have beefy VPS nodes with lots of RAM available. The main thing that increases the price here is the 200GB storage requirement. Because not only will you be using 200GB for your VPS but that amount of data also needs to be backed up to an offsite backup server. So it is more like 400GB storage you are paying for, not 200GB.
Based on the specs you mentioned, you are looking at about £80-100 plus a month.

I'm sure they do
if you went SATA 7200 HD you could find it but as others said step up to dedicated you will be paying roughly the same or slightly more

My backups are done offsite to another providers servers. so the concept of 200GB is actually 400GB is a moot point.
It's Similar to secure dragon's backup server options. The reason for this is so that if my current host decides to close up shop unexpectedly and I cant access my main server, then my data is safe with another provider.
Dedicated is significantly more expensive when you start bolting on the cPanel, WHMCS licenses PLUS server management. VPS servers are much cheaper in this regard. So all I'm in need of actually is more storage. I don't see why a VPS server cannot be provisioned with bigger drives. I mean for goodness sake, we live in 2016.
My provider currently supplies 120GB maximum on their VPS but I now need more and they say I must move to a dedicated server which means my £60 per month turns in to £170 for their cheapest dedicated server.
Sure Im getting 1TB of disk space but no RAID, only 4GB RAM and an I3 processor. I have to pay an extra £70 for server management over and above the £70 for the server.
It's just not worth going to a dedicated server for that amount of money compared to a VPS.

bigger & more drives. mean more $$$ when the data center SSD's come down to the price of HD & as large capacity then you might see it.
the backup may be a moot point for you but not for your provider

My provider charges additional costs for backups. So it is a moot point if I don't purchase backups from my provider directly as it doesnt cost them anything extra. I realise that larger hard drives cost more money but it should be mass amounts of money.

if your not set on your current provider if you shop around you can find what your looking for you may have to ask for a custom set up or you can get better pricing on a dedicated server £169 seems a bit high but I am not in tune with the UK market so it may be OK

I'd be tempted to contact providers and ask for a custom quote if the package you're looking for isn't on their website. I'm sure they'll be able to come up with something for you - I don't see any host turning you away.
As net has said it may be also worth looking at a low end dedicated server solution.
What providers have you looked at so far?

I havent asked the providers for custom builds except my own provider and they just tell me they wont do it.
I have looked at hostdime which seems a bit expensive and site-5. Innohosting seems to have what i need but again, a little on the expensive side.

Doesn't mean that other providers won't. We often have customers coming to us asking for different spec packages to what are on our website and don't turn them away as I'm sure 90% of other providers wouldn't who use this forum.
If you go down the route of asking providers for custom quotes take a look in the offers section here at WHT.
Hope you get something sorted!

You're actually right. cPanel/WHM + Management will make what you're after end up as a very expensive solution.
Do you have a specific location you're after? (Sorry if you mentioned it before and I missed it)

Most VPS providers have plans that are in a CPU:Memory:HDD ratio. So when you look for plans with larger disks there's going to be more CPU cores and RAM which will increase the overall cost. You could mix and match services, like choose an unmanaged VPS provider that offers large disks, purchase cPanel and WHMCS licenses and get server management from another company.

Do you actually need 8 Cores, or are you assuming those 8 Cores are shared. Could you get by with less cores if they were 100% dedicated? Look at many of the VDS or Semi-Dedicated VPSes out there. They come with the option to have very large disk space most of the time.

However, most if not all managed providers keep backups at least in the case of hardware failure. If the drives fail and you never made any backups you would lose your data.
It sounds like you are saying, to cut costs you do not need the provider to backup data on your VPS because you are already making your own offsite backup, well if that is the case, then it okay. So that £80-100/month I mentioned previously is more like £70-90 plus a month.
