When I was doing my undergrad thesis, I thought of doing this one too. But Java can consume a lot of resources and I don't have much budget that time. Good luck on this one! If you're using Java, BIG RAM can help!

Is it possible if I can be placed on the newer nodes since it looks like better CPU

The e3-1270v2 is actually equivalent for transcoding.  The main advantage for the Haswell CPUs is a new memory controller and onboard VRM.  Performance for compute is the same or slightly better on the v2's actually.  I suspect the generation after Haswell will bring some more tangible improvements.

Beyond that, we don't have that level of control as to what node a specific VPS would be assigned to.  If the performance isn't adequate, we can always of course, move you to a different node, and at that time, intentionally place you on a Haswell-based node if you really want it.

There are new AVX instructions in Haswell. Early benchmarks wouldn't have done this justice. Likely to be a bit faster.

Granted I'm new at this game but I priced out this request for fun and just the dedicated cpu requirement comes in around 17 USD/mo (priced in a L5639 group at 8 dedicated threads, w/ 2A @ 100 USD/mo, 60W tdp, 2/3rds dedicated usage). Not including equipment amortization, depreciation, and failure, bandwidth, and admin/other overhead (which I estimated was ~14-15 USD/mo at cost, 1gbps shared). I guess if it could be oversold and wasn't dedicated like you requested, it could be made to work but that 25 USD/mo figure seems like a really aggressive p.p. Kaniini must be some kind of boss to make that fly at 13.50 USD/mo.

TortoiseLabs has an interesting network in Chicago.  Route I haven't seen before.  It seriously pushes some bandwidth with my crappy upstream (which is rare).  Now I am curious as to who the upstream and the bandwidth mix is :)

I have tried out TortoiseLabs and the vps is encoding quite fast especially when it's a VPS. It encodes at 50FPS using the slower profile in x264. 50FPS is quite fast on a vps since most other vps providers give me 20FPS

Pretty good :) Which location did you opt for and how is the network, throughput, etc.  Interesting company.

I chose California. I haven't tested the network since I'm only using the vps for video encoding but I can tell you that it can download at 50mb/sec

So much for the bandwidth caps... Just a guarantee minimum of bandwidth.  That's a nice model to share the bandwidth love.

Consider writing up a review, please :)  Few us are interested in their services and lacking a review for them on here.
