Nice solusvm Skin

jarland

Can I brag on this guy some more? He put together our Denver node :)

Randy

R u serious ? @jarland

serverian

@Randy, it's not SolusVM.

serverian

@jarland, thanks man. Glad to see it's working good. Even on IRC people are mentioning your service all the time.

How exactly does hybrid SSD and HDD storage work?

Randy

I meant WHMCS sorry ;-)

serverian

@lele0108, it's not hybrid. Simply 2 disks added to the VM.

serverian

Thanks @Randy :)

@Randy said: R u serious ?

Yep. I can only hope to repay his assistance beyond what was ever agreed on by letting people know that passing on his services because they might not have heard of him would be a big mistake.

+1 for 64u they have some solid benchmarks :)

Just picked up a larger plan (starter) with 64u. Really like the mixed disk strategy and wish more SSD LEBs would offer combined offers with non-SSD in addition to SSD as that opens up more use cases. Interaction with Oktay (CTO) was pleasant, professional and he quickly resolved an issue.

@serverbear Do you have a link to their benchmark?

Unfortunately they've now pulled the service due to technical issues :(

Yeah, It's a damn shame that we had lots of issues with our setup. The hardware errors just didn't go away and it became a too much hassle to deal with. We constantly tried to solve the issues but couldn't make it work.
