From a99733ba1fa5ef36cdfe1ebfc8e5538fe8179b01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Claude (Chronicler #49)" Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 19:59:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: Add Breezehost dedicated server pricing reference MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit WHAT WAS DONE: Added complete dedicated server pricing table to infrastructure manifest for capacity planning and expansion evaluation CURRENT PRODUCTION SERVERS DOCUMENTED: - TX1 Dallas: Dual Silver 4116 (24c/48t, 128GB RAM, 3.4TB NVMe) - $199/month - NC1 Charlotte: AMD 9950x (16c/32t, 128GB RAM, 3.6TB NVMe) - $259/month - Total: 13 game servers across 2 dedicated nodes DEDICATED SERVER PRICING TABLE ADDED: - AMD/Intel Mystery Box: $99/month (random hardware assignment) - AMD 7950x - 128GB: $199/month (16c/32t) - Dual Silver 4116: $199/month (24c/48t) ← Current TX1 - AMD 9950x - 128GB: $259/month (16c/32t) ← Current NC1 - Dual Gold 6142: $289/month (32c/64t, 256GB RAM) - RTX 4090 Dedicated: $300/month (GPU workloads) - AMD 9950x - 192GB: $329/month (16c/32t, upgraded RAM) - 8x 5000 Bare Metal: $3,600/month (enterprise tier) WHY THIS MATTERS: These locked-in rates enable accurate cost analysis for: - Adding 3rd dedicated node (TX2/NC2 for load balancing) - GPU workloads (AI image generation, rendering, ML training) - Geographic expansion (additional regions) - Capacity planning (subscribers-per-server calculations) - Provider comparisons (locked rates vs market rates) EXPANSION SCENARIOS DOCUMENTED: - TX2/NC2 node: $199-259/month for geographic redundancy - GPU node: $300/month for AI/rendering (vs $250 VPS GPU) - Mystery Box: $99/month for dev/staging/overflow capacity CURRENT UTILIZATION: - TX1: 6 game servers + FoundryVTT - NC1: 7 game servers - Total capacity: 13 production game servers MYSTERY BOX EXPLANATION: Random hardware assignment (AMD or Intel), significant discount vs specified hardware, suitable for non-critical workloads where specific CPU/specs not required. Future Chroniclers now have complete dedicated server pricing context when capacity decisions are needed.
