Prometeus - Brace yourselves. Heading to America!

That's really great that Prometeus extending their location to America!

Hello everyone !

As you probably know already, we launched IaaS services with all the bells and whistles (HA, fail-over, load-balancing, pay by the hour, etc) in our datacenter in Milano, Italy (www.iwstack.com).
This offers flexible virtualization for almost all possible scenarios, from cheap low end VPS to large scale deployments for professionals, but there is one thing that lacks and this is the choice of locations. We heard you and now we are heading to America!

We plan to extend our IaaS cloud over there, but only after we find the perfect location. This will need a few field tests with real load and this is where we need your feedback to help decide.

That is right, we are opening services in Dallas (TX), with two of our best selling OVZ plans with SSD in order to test the reliability of the location and the quality of the network all over the world.
Note that these services will stay in place, we do not plan to discontinue OVZ even if we choose not to deploy IWStack over there.

Plans available for now in Dallas are here:
https://www.prometeus.net/billing/cart.php?gid=18

Orders will be provisioned and approved manually and provisioned in 24-48 hours max.

Thank you for your collaboration, any feedback will be appreciated.

Best regards

Salvatore

    Hello !

    Just a quick mention, at this time it is valid only for existing customers in good standing.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • Dallas... that's so... boring.

    That is not final, we may or may not deploy iwstack there, but between chicago with good us+canada covering and miami with good south america covering, thought Dallas is a good compromise, but the most important aspect is DC quality.
    We will test others too, either privately or by renting some servers and making offers for real world usage scenarios.
    Unfortunately, something also lacking there is good IPv6 coverage :(.
    There are tons of things to consider, but the most important is available remote hands at any hour and quick reply in case of problems, that is the most important thing that kept uncle from expanding, I hope things will work well.

  • What DC in Dallas?

    I don't understand why you keep limiting stuff to existing customers only.

    Sorry, I wasnt clear. It is to limit abuse, mainly and to reward loyalty. Our customers were asking for years for a US location. Here it is:

  • SSD model? Samsung 830 series SSD or Crucial M500 SSD ?

    The answer is... Both :P We have more setups, servers are not same make and storage, we do not colo them, they are rented.
    However, in case we deploy IWStack, all equipment will be ours including switches.

  • Congratulations for the expanding :)
    I will try to order tomorrow, since my current ip is showing from Us.

    When will it supporting ipv6 in Dallas? :)

    I am afraid that is one problem we are aware of so far. However, if everything else checks out, we will find a way to bring IPv6 to america, ARIN is running out of IPv4, maybe will nudge DCs to start working on it.

    I wouldnt wait until tomorrow, by the speed they go, may be too late. I will approve your order.

  • thank you very much M :)

  • So who is moving to America to sleep with the servers? ;-) I doubt @Maounique would agree to go to the Land Of Evil ;-)

    From what i see, you are 20% closer to italy than to texas.

    Nah, I am needed to take care of ballsvps here, cant go to us even if I wanted :) Besides, they dont give visas to godless terrorists.

  • hehe yes, we are closer to Italy compared to Texas. And that's something weird compared to other US providers.

    The only one can beat the fast connection is only BuyVM Las Vegas to Indonesia.

    More than that, I need a vps to watch hulu :D

  • Amazing 1.6GB/s I/O.

    Haha, you didnt believe and had to get one :P
    That being said, not all servers are the same, but there will be plenty of io for everyone.

  • sold out?

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    not as far as i know ?
    Only the 1 GB ones are out of stock. We will put up more.

  • This is awesome. Just add more payment options please. Indian Debit Cards don't work with paypal. I have applied for a credit card just to pay bills of my existing VPS with you :-P
    Looks like I wont be able to get this one as it may take time

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    Place an order and we will keep stock, just open a ticket about it.

  • USA? meh..

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    Another server is up, 1 GB plan has been restocked and it is also available. I hope it lasts a bit more than a few hours this time :)
