Oversold Brand in Chicago [8GB KVM]
AnthonySmith
Member, Patron Provider
So with everyone jumping on the band wagon and one oversold brand even being names after riding the wave of oversold brands I am starting to think.. why the hell not.
I said it would happen and only damage the overall quality of the industry when the first one came out and no one believed me then and everyone seems to want it regardless so why not.
I am suggesting as a starter package.
Location: Chicago KVM 4 x CPU Cores 8GB RAM 50GB Disk (SSD Cached) 3 TB Bandwidth @ gbit 2 x IPv4 100 x IPv6 50GB Offsite backup that can be supplied as NFS/rsync/cifs/iscsi Free basic cPanel account for DNS management etc 3rd Month free (account credit) $5 p/month
Thoughts?
Ant.

I'm down, looking for investors?
investors ?
Nope
Will it tell me stories before bed?
I would assume by investors he means customers :P
Ah ok
Well that is the idea haha.
That would require third party software and is beyond the scope of support on offer
LOL
This is beyond overselling, I'm not sure if serious or just an attempt to fill LET first page with "Oversold brand in [pick your country]"
I think we just like big numbers for small $ these days.
Make it happen
Not really, 2 x E5-2620 6 x 3TB SATA + 2 x 128GB SSD, 256GB Ram, dual Gbit ports teamed, I would be doubling up the Ram sold, so 2x oversold which is FAR less than many others which seem to be perfectly acceptable.
I don't think Overzold or Waveride have damaged the overrall quality of the industry, their customers seem to be happy.
Nice......
@AnthonySmith send me order link when it's available.
I completely agree, just to clarify my point as I may not have made it well, I am saying that this was my fear when the first of them came out, while these guys have done it very well (and hats off to them) others have not done such a great job, so my initial concerns were wrong, I was wrong.
The bottom line as you have illustrated is if the people managing it are capable (which I am) then customers are happy and it works out fine.
That makes around $320/month for 512GB ram sold with 8GB slices. Are you going to colo it or rent it? If rent, can you PM me the provider?
My small comment on 10GB RAM for $7 is coming faster than I thought.
Why not, I'll get one when/if you do it.
sounds really impossible... just pick me an link if it comes ture!!!
That's about right yes, rent with buy down, just throwing the idea out initially, I may do 6GB for $5 and 8GB for $7 not 100% set in stone yet.
IPs part looks stange :P Two IPv4's are direct expense for you, nothing to oversell here and 100 IPv6... would you really assign so many individual addresses to each account?
Or do you prefer to answer tons of "heeey, I got only 20 IPv6 addresses, where are rest of them" tickets? 
IPv6 subnet have sense, hundred of individual /128 just don't... so thats here most likely just decoration to advertise in "a lots of everything" fashion
PS. Who will complain about terrible overselling in hosting industry then?! You can't do this to yourself :P
Thanks for the feedback, noted and I will take that in to consideration.
Don't worry I will still complain but this time I will have metrics to back me up
Guess no one cares about quality of networks in this type of product? I mean what is the bandwidth blend like and what speeds are we looking at?
How are you going to be able to oversell KVM, @AnthonySmith
Nope, I came to that conclusion myself too, no one does care, the market wants RAM with a stable enough connection, the other oversold brands have proven this.
Looking further in to this I could also do the same in the UK, Germany, Netherlands and possibly even Dallas but that may be pushing it.
KVM Ram can be oversold just as OpenVZ can, just not the disk space, not sure I understand the question.
I understand that most people just know which script to run or buttons to click when it comes to deploying a KVM node and pay no attention to how it 'actually' can work if set up specifically with over provisioning in mind or they rely on solusvm to do everything for them, I am not one of those people so I do not anticipate any problems with this if managed correctly.
@AnthonySmith you have a lot of plans
Lets talk about REAL thing. I was about to ask (read: push) you about this few times.
How's going your plan about lowendspirit NORWAY location?
This would be awesome! Please offer a EU location
Maybe Germany? 
@Spirit & @AnthonySmith
LowEndSpirit Norway location sounds awesome too
@Spirit west coast first, I have not found a NO suitable host yet but open to suggestions.
If it stays like this I'm definitely gonna grab one! And the 2 IPv4's make it even more interesting.
I'm not sure many people care about 100 IPv6's though.
